Full Moon on April 23, 2024

Full Moon in Scorpio

Tuesday, April 23, 2024

The Moon’s influence can often be an activator, kind of like a trigger. This month of April has brought The Great American Eclipse back on April 8 and the rare Jupiter-Uranus conjunction on April 20. The Full Moon is at 4 degrees Taurus 17 minutes. To anticipate what that might bring let’s consider the Sabian Symbol and Charubel’s Degrees. “A massive rocky shore” is the relevant Sabian Symbol. Charubel sees “A storm swept prairie.” Both images suggest majestic size, natural grandeur and emptiness. A wild and free expression removes boundaries. The Moon is square Pluto in Aquarius. This hints at conflicts between people and groups with diverse ideas. Mars is conjunct Neptune in Pisces. A situation around water as well as marine life can develop. That conjunction has a tie with paranormal phenomena and ritual magic. Ghost hunters be on alert, some rescue mediumship might be required. The Hare (Rabbit) Moon is one of the names for this lunation. Fertility, birth, abundance and sanctuary are some of what this promises. Astrologers! Below is the event chart for the Full Hare Moon. What else do you see happening?

Star Date Alert Jupiter Conjunct Uranus

Jupiter Conjunct Uranus A Star Date Alert!

Astrologers everywhere have been referring to the rare Jupiter /Uranus conjunction that will be occurring in Taurus on April 20th at 10:27 pm EDT. The last time this occurred was May 7, 1941, during the time that Europe was actively at war with Germany. Seven months later, on Dec. 7th, Pearl Harbor was bombed. The planetary cycles can give us an indication as to what to prepare for. Will history repeat its self? Hopefully not. Hopefully we will learn from the past and can avoid another major conflict. Begin with maintaining inner peace and yourself. Think of the heightened energy and project love, healing and positive actions in all ways. Interesting times are ahead. I see weather and seismic activity being a part of this and also the conflicts in the Middle East can be a focus. Mass protests too.

Astrology of The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse

Hey Astrologers! This spring, 2024 eclipse season is off to a wild start. Here is the event chart for the tragic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore at 1;27 am EDT on March 26, 2024. Also see the City’s horoscope for incorporation on August 19, 1729. What stands out to me is that the Bridge collapse took place with transit Saturn in Pisces, the same placement as in the Baltimore city chart’s Saturn. It’s a Saturn Return event. (Pisces is a water sign). The Great Eclipse of April 8, 2024 is in Aries, Baltimore’s city chart has Aries placements accented. The Bridge is named to honor the author of our National Anthem. Francis Scott Key, a Leo sun sign, was born on August 1, 1779 in Frederick Maryland. The City of Baltimore is a Leo location, hence Key’s legacy with the area. Currently Pluto (represents destruction) is transiting in Aquarius, Leo’s opposing sign, for a very long time. The accident’s event chart has Uranus rising in Scorpio, the sign of Pluto’s rulership. This is a truly intriguing study in astrology. What else can you see in these two amazing charts?

Two Eclipses and Mercury Retrograde!

Eclipse Season Stars on Easter Week

Two Eclipses and a Mercury Retrograde

The Eclipse Season and various Astrological Dramas

by Dikki-Jo Mullen

     Holy Week of 2024 brings the first Full Moon of the springtime. The astrological patterns which accompany this are profound. It all begins with the Full Moon on Monday, March 25, the day following Palm Sunday. There will be a partial lunar eclipse at 3:00 am EDT at 5 degrees Libra 07’. It will appear as a corner shadowed out of the Full Moon, if the sky is clear. Then another eclipse follows on Monday, April 8 at 2:20 pm EDT. This is the big one which is drawing so much attention. It it will be the Great Eclipse of this part of the 21^st Century. There won’t be another one like it until 2044. This total lunar eclipse will shadow and sweep over North America from Mexico, across the USA and Eastern Canada, turning day into night.

The two week interval between these lunations is called an eclipse season. An eclipse season is volatile. Meanwhile, Mercury turns retrograde in Aries on April Fools Day, April 1, and  goes direct on April 25. Elements of the unexpected are at work. Be observant and flexible. The March 25 Full Moon in Libra emphasizes an emotional attachment to justice. Many relationships will be in flux. Artists can be productive, the art world might be impacted. The zodiacal degree symbol reads “ A Branch of a Tree obscures  an ancient looking Inn Sign. The implication is that relics, traditional customs, antiques and ancestry and collectibles can be of special significance. The eclipse is  rather close to the Fixed Star Vindemiatrix. This is a significant star. Its name is said to have been given because it rises in the morning just before the time of vintage, the grape harvest. According to Ptolemy, it is of the nature of Saturn and Mercury; and to Alvidas, of Mercury and Saturn in evil aspect. It gives falsity, disgrace, stealing, and wanton folly. 

This yellow giant star is at a distance of 93 light years from Earth. It imparts impulsiveness, wanton folly, indiscretion, foolishness, scandalous actions, poverty, criticism, depression, and leadership ability. It can lead to nervous irritability. 

Vindemiatrix is a mischief-making star that can indicate disgrace for the native (if male) or the untimely death of a husband (if female). 

In ancient astrology, this star ranks with Algol in having an unmitigated reputation for evil. The name from which comes our word Alcohol. As always, much depends on how one sees events themselves as good or bad. Yes, it does frequently mark a prominent  death, hence its nick name of ‘The Widow Maker’. (Astrology King was consulted as a reference about Vindemiatrix).

Among the Native Americans and Colonial traditions, this Full Moon has been called the Worm Moon and Seed Moon. The implications are that the Earth is awakening and about to grow. The earthworms are wriggling and the seeds are sprouting.

     The Mercury retrograde in Aries can bring some false starts and stops affecting progress and new projects. Wars and other conflicts can be involved. Patience is a must. For those starting  a new job, it might be temporary. Use care in making promises, especially if signing contracts. History repeats itself under Mercury retrograde.

     The Great Solar Eclipse will be in Aries, 19 degrees 24’,  at the New Moon on April 8. It degree symbol reads “ A young girl feeding birds in the winter.” This shows concern for the vulnerable while coping with weather. There can be really significant political events unfolding around the world.

     Astrologers! Below are the two event charts for the eclipses. What else do you see? If you are outside the greater Orlando area be sure to correct the houses for your location!

New Moon in Pisces

New Moon of Fish, Waves and Mermaids

New Moon in Pisces March 10, 2024

By Dikki-Jo Mullen, Astrologer and Medium

     Winter’s final New Moon at 5:00 am EDT on Sunday, March 10, 2024 takes place during the dark morning hours just after  Daylight Savings Time begins. This lunation is in the sign of Pisces at 20 degrees 16’. This is in the Neptune -Pluto ruled decanate of the  sign of The Fish. Secrets and deep undercurrents are flowing. All is not quickly revealed or understood. The Sun and Moon are in an applying conjunction Neptune,  with a wide orb separating  conjunction with Saturn. The placements are all in Pisces. Mercury is on the cusp at 0 degrees of Aries and makes an out of sign conjunction with the late degree Pisces placements. The event chart shows that the planets are in a tight bundle formation. This is a very intense and focused time, watch out for the “tempest in a tea cup” syndrome. Trivialities can  be over stated. Maintain perspective and seek a balance. Intuition and imagination are strong, seek to express feelings constructively. There can be genuine intuitive flashes. Dreams can be significant. Unusual events are likely to occur around the waterfront. Recently a very rare species of whale was spotted off the Florida coast. There was also a report of a sighting of a single puffin, an arctic bird never seen in this part of the world, being rescued. Water elementals such as mermaids, selkies and kelpies can be in evidence. In “Degrees of the Zodiac Symbolized” this zodiacal degree is interpreted as “A man walking in the darkness holding an old-fashioned lantern”. The message is “Finding a way out of difficulty, having faith in the truths taught by forefathers, divine instincts offer guidance”.

     This is a good time to focus on whatever is most important. Consolidate. Don’t scatter energy, resources or do too much multi- tasking. Seek information, exchange ideas. The mood is sincere and feelings are sensitive. Write a wish list during the 8 hours after the New Moon and watch a dream materialize as the Moon waxes and grows toward the Full phase. The next Full Moon will be in Libra on March 25. That Full Moon marks the start of a really significant two week long eclipse season. 

Astrologers what else do you see in this New Moon event chart? Remember to adjust the house cusps if you are outside the greater Orlando area.

February’s Full Chaste Moon

By Dikki-Jo Mullen

Saturday, February 24, 2024 at 7:30 am the Moon will be Full in Virgo. The chart for this lunation shows a bucket pattern (one of the 7 chart patterns established by Astrologer Marc Edmund Jones a Century ago). The Moon forms the handle, it directs the energy of the rest of the chart. Health, service, discernment and attention to details will be a focus during this cycle. One of the names for this Full Moon, the Chaste Moon, reflects the austerity of lent, the prospect of spring cleaning to brush away the dust or cobwebs of the winter past, and reveling in the snow and pure white light of late winter. At 5 degrees 23’ of Virgo, the Moon is Full in the double Mercury decanante of the sign, accenting communication and logic. The Symbol from “Degrees of the Zodiac Symbolized’ reads “ A man and a woman together with a table of fruits, flowers and wine. Playing a game.” The interpretation is pleasure seeking, gambling, and seeking good cheer.” Don’t take things too seriously! Astrologers, what else do you see in this event chart? It will impact events during the next two weeks until the next New Moon begins a new cycle. The strong Pisces influence hints at dreams, mediumship, sensitivity to those in need and aquatic creatures. The strong Aquarius emphasis can make air travel safety a continuing issue and advances in space science as well as astrology a special focus.

Mantra For The New Moon in Capricorn

Solemn, Serious, Seeking Security and Success

The last lights of the holiday season are flickering away in the distance. On January 11, 2024 at 6: 57 am EST the Moon is New at 20 Capricorn 44’. This ushers in a new cycle, the year ahead in earnest. The lunation is in the Saturn -Mercury ruled decanate of the sign of The Goat. Ideas combine with responsibilities. This first New Moon of the New Year of 2024 turns the focus on the times to come. In “Degrees of the Zodiac Symbolized” (Alan Leo) the degree of this New Moon reads “An ancient hieroglyphic manuscript.” The symbol suggests deep research into ancient methods and principles as a way to guide the future. Mars and Pluto join the Sun and Moon in Capricorn to form a dynamic planetary stellium. A look at the event chart for the New Moon reveals the potentials for the next four weeks. Saturn in Pisces disposits the load of celestial energy from this Saturn ruled Capricorn stellium. Expect concerns to focus on displaced persons and others who are struggling to survive and cope. Charitable endeavors can be a priority. Any humor will be wry and subtle as the overall attitude tends to be serious. The Capricorn placements favorably aspect Neptune. This is psychic and intuitive It is supporting spiritual interests, connections with the mystical, dreams and hunches. Stability and comfort can be found through heeding hunches and attuning to subtle energies.

Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus are trine the Capricorn planets. This favorable pattern points to economic opportunity for many. Over all the economy should be in an upswing mode. The powers inherent in crystals, herbs and plants can enhance well being now. Planting gardens with the goal of growing food as well as just spending time in nature are other positives. Chiron conjoining the North Moon Node in Aries favors a pioneering spirit. How can you break away from all that is outdated and stale to try new things? Mercury and Venus in Sagittarius brings closer rapport with animal companions; also compassion for and an interest in issues involving school safety. Migrants and immigration can be significant too. Mercury, the travel planet, squaring Neptune continues to bring safety and comfort issues regarding transportation to attention. Truth and accuracy of information in general can also be of great concern. Often not all is as it seems to be. Sift through veils of illusion to discover what really is. The Full Moon in Leo on January 25, 2024 brings the specifics to light regarding the complex promise generated by the New Moon of January 11.
