New Moon @ 21 Cancer, 14 Jul 2026 10:44 BST Belfast UK

New Beginnings Under the Cancer New Moon:

This New Moon offers the familiar invitation to begin again. Because Cancer is a cardinal sign, the emphasis is not only on thinking or talking about change, but on starting a real process. This energy is emotionally driven, arising from feeling, instinct, and inner knowing. With the Moon in her home sign, these impulses are especially strong and more easily expressed.

Home, Family, and Emotional Attachment:

Cancer is closely associated with home, family, and the people or places we care about most deeply. It shows where we form emotional attachments, where we give our attention, and where we may find it difficult to let go. This New Moon may therefore highlight what truly matters beneath the surface.

Mercury Retrograde: Reflection, Words, and Inner Needs:

The close conjunction with Mercury during its retrograde cycle places emphasis on words, thoughts, understanding, and emotional communication. Mercury offers an opportunity to review a current situation through the lens of emotional wellbeing and to consider what you genuinely feel you need.

This can be a deeply introspective time, encouraging reflection on inner needs and soul-level desires. Some situations may be seen from a different perspective, and that new awareness may call for change. The wide square from Saturn in Aries adds pressure to create clearer boundaries, stronger structure, and more conscious emotional responsibility.

Personal Significance and Guidance:

For anyone with planets or angles in the middle to late degrees of the cardinal signs, this New Moon may be especially significant, particularly with Mercury retrograde in Cancer only two degrees away. Words carry weight during this period, and what is said may have the potential to alter the path ahead.

Because the energy is deeply emotional and introspective, it may help to balance feelings with a clear, fact-based perspective. This can support better understanding and more grounded decision-making. Personal consultations are available for guidance based on your unique astrological configuration.

Capricorn Full Moon 30th Jun 2026 - 00:55 BST @ 8 degrees Capricorn

Ambition, Focus, and the Capricorn Climb:

This Full Moon highlights the ambitious energy of Capricorn, the mountain goat, and its sheer determination to reach the summit. Whether the task is simple or demanding, this earthy, practical, and methodical energy knows how to plan, structure, and steadily execute the steps required to achieve a desired outcome over weeks, months, or even decades.

Balancing Achievement with Home and Family:

The opposing energy of the Sun in Cancer reminds us to consider the importance of family, care, and time spent at home. Capricorn can become so focused on the end goal that the emotional foundations of life are overlooked. After all, what is the point of attaining success if there is no one to share it with or enjoy its comforts?

Saturn’s Challenge and the Path Forward:

Saturn, ruler of this Full Moon, forms a T-Square with the Sun and Moon. This dynamic aspect may reveal an area of life where progress is needed, yet something feels blocked, delayed, or restrained. If one pathway has become difficult to navigate, a new road or approach may need serious consideration in order to reach the ultimate goal.

Saturn’s connection with Neptune in Aries is also a reminder that the dream is still possible. Do not give up easily; instead, remain disciplined, adaptable, and open to reshaping the plan where necessary.

Personal Guidance:

Personal insights are available for anyone seeking support in understanding how these energies may apply to their own chart.

Best wishes for the Capricorn Full Moon.

31st May 2026 Sagittarius Full Moon (09:44 BST)

Key Themes
· Travel and foreign cultures
· Higher and specialised education
· Spirituality, religion, and personal beliefs

Interpretation:

Jupiter in Cancer turns attention towards home, family, and caregiving.

It can also point to expanding knowledge around care, including learning from other cultures and countries that offer stronger healthcare systems and better support for care workers.

Opposing this, the Sun in Gemini highlights communication, curiosity, and the search for information, ideally in service of a higher purpose. At its less constructive end, this energy can appear as gossip or misinformation.

Sagittarius invites exploration, whether through travel or through a new journey of learning, thought, or belief. Choose a path that feels meaningful, broadening, and adventurous.

You may be surprised where it leads.

Personal insights are also available.

Best wishes for the Sagittarius Full Moon.

New Moon @ 27 Aries 17 Apr 2026 12:50 Belfast (BST)

The Potent New Moon in Aries: Beginnings, Healing, and Transformation

A Unique Astrological Event

This New Moon marks the first new moon of the Astrological New Year, making it especially powerful. Unaspected by other planets and positioned in the closing degrees of Aries, it is accompanied by a strong stellium of planets in the first decan of Aries. At present, Aries stands as the most prominent astrological sign.

Deep Healing with Chiron

The New Moon forms a close conjunction with Chiron, less than one degree apart, which is certain to bring profound ancestral themes into everyday life. It is a time to count your blessings and recognise that life is often better than it appears, even though deep wounds persist. These wounds may serve as gifts, providing opportunities to learn skills that can help both ourselves and others. Chiron highlights the need to address inner pain. Aries encourages self-confidence and the courage to pursue what you desire. This energy invites you to embrace your wounds and become a teacher, mentor, or expert, using your unique skills to heal and guide.

Transformative Aspects: Mars and Pluto

Mars, the ruler of the New Moon, forms a sextile with Pluto, indicating a push through a transformative phase of life. This period may be approaching its final hurdle, as highlighted by conjunctions with Saturn, Mercury, and Neptune—all in Aries.

Uranus Enters Gemini: Anticipating Change

Uranus enters Gemini for the last time on 26th April, signalling a period of turbulence and disruption over the coming weeks. Expect increased seismic activity, storms, volcanic eruptions, protests, revolutions, and ongoing volatility in financial markets. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, robotics, and cryptocurrencies are set to grow in importance and become more commonplace during and after this major shift. The world is evolving rapidly; be prepared for and embrace these changes.

New Beginnings: Harnessing Aries Energy

As New Moons are associated with beginnings, the Aries New Moon provides an opportunity to embark on new ventures and make progress towards goals you may have delayed or are excited to initiate. If your personal chart is directly affected by this New Moon, its significance will be felt even more strongly in your current life phase.

Choosing Your Path

The choices you make now are crucial. Your future self will be shaped by the decisions you take at this moment. Choose your path carefully.

Personal Consultations

Personal consultations, including forecasts, are available for those seeking more guidance.

Libra Full Moon – 2nd Apr 2026 (03:12 BST)

Astrological Reflections on Conflict, Transformation, and Relationships

Potential for Resolution Amidst Turmoil

As the Moon reaches its full lunation in Libra, the sign associated with relationships and harmony, there arises a potential for negotiating arrangements that could bring an end to violence and destruction in the Middle East. While hope for a resolution persists, it is clear that any move towards ceasefire or peace will require meaningful concessions from all parties involved.

Venus in Ta**us: Financial Foundations and Transformation

The current placement of Venus in Ta**us indicates that the groundwork for any treaties or agreements will likely rest upon financial considerations. The square aspect to Pluto in Aquarius further underscores that transformation is essential in forging a path towards a peaceful and enterprising future. This astrological configuration also highlights that, unless the ongoing oil issues are addressed, the war may continue to have far-reaching financial consequences.

The Sun in Aries: War and the Hope for Peace

With the Sun positioned in Aries, it is no surprise that the atmosphere is charged with conflict. However, the Sun’s ruler currently resides in Pisces, the sign symbolising unity and oneness, which brings additional hope for peace and resolution. This alignment reinforces the theme of oil at the heart of the conflict, as well as the looming nuclear threat. Nonetheless, optimism prevails that an end to hostilities is near and that peace remains within reach, reminding us that anything is possible.

Personal Relationships: Shifts and Growth

On an individual level, this astrological period brings the balance of energies in personal relationships into sharper focus. Whether one is single, in a partnership, dating, or seeking connection, the dynamics will inevitably shift, and needs will evolve. The importance of healthy relationships, built on fairness, mutual understanding, growth, and support, is emphasised. In contrast, unhealthy relationships tend to be one-sided, with attention centred on the needs of just one person.

Transformation and Acceptance

The Venus-Pluto square signifies that transformation is not only necessary but also inevitable, regardless of resistance. Change during this period requires a new form of psychological acceptance and adaptation to fresh dynamics. It does not mean that existing relationships must end; rather, they must evolve and develop new forms that can withstand the tests and challenges of future paths yet to unfold.

Blessings and Hopes for Peace

Blessings are extended to all during this Full Moon, with hopes that relationship dreams may be realised and that new insights will arise, guiding a swift end to all wars and allowing peace to prevail.

Best wishes to all..!!

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius

17 Feb 2026 12:01 GMT Belfast U.K.

Astrological Influences and the Impact of the Eclipse

Today’s eclipse has brought an exceptionally potent energy, with the activation of the final degrees of Aquarius. This influence is heightened by a square aspect from Uranus, the ruler of the eclipse, currently in Ta**us. Additionally, Aquarius’ traditional ruler, Saturn, is set to form a conjunction with Neptune in just a few days. This conjunction will take place at the pivotal degree of “0” Aries, symbolising the start of new beginnings and the emergence of bold new visions for the future.

Universal Energy: Progress and Revolution

The prevailing universal energies during this period are characterised by progressive change, revolution, and rapid technological advancement. As a result, shake-ups, shocks, and unexpected or unplanned events are to be anticipated.

Personal Empowerment and Building Your Dreams

While the world is evolving at an unprecedented pace, Astrology provides the knowledge and insight needed to empower us to shape our individual lives. This is a crucial time to focus, establish structure, and actively build the life you envision.

Embracing Change and Opportunity

Change is inevitable, and it is vital to remain open to accepting unforeseen developments. What lies ahead is an opportunity to start anew, even when hope appears to be lost. Hope is never truly gone; it may simply be difficult to perceive. It requires a strong will to create a life of fulfilment amidst chaos and adversity. Ultimately, those who persevere are the ones who achieve success.

Guidance and Support

For those seeking deeper understanding and guidance during these times, personal insight consultations are available upon request.

Leo Full Moon - 1 Feb 2026 – 22:09 GMT Belfast

The Leo Full Moon: Performance, Creativity, and Inner Revolution

Stepping Into the Spotlight

The stage is set for a moment of illumination. During this Full Moon, you may find yourself either taking centre stage as the performer or choosing to be present as the captivated audience. There is no better time to immerse yourself in the world of performance, as the emphasis now falls on Leo, the sign most closely associated with creative radiance and artistic flair. Leo’s energy is charming and expressive, exuding leadership qualities and striving for an idealistic sense of perfection.

The Aquarian Influence

Counterbalancing Leo is Aquarius, whose influence is especially strong at this time. Aquarius is socially conscious, often advocating for the underprivileged and those whose voices are seldom heard. Unconventional, intelligent, and a touch rebellious, Aquarius brings innovation and a desire for collective improvement. With the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Pluto all transiting through Aquarius, the skies are dominated by this futuristic, freedom-loving energy. The current cosmic climate encourages reinvention, with rebellion and revolution serving as catalysts for expressing your innate childlike freedom and embracing the pleasures of life.

The Emotional Landscape of Leo

The Moon symbolises our inner world and emotional landscape. When the Moon moves through Leo, it seeks out creativity and playfulness, longing for experiences that are filled with charm, elegance, and joy. This is a time to savour social occasions—attending parties, concerts, the theatre, or any event that sparks your creative spirit. Even engaging in a personal artistic pursuit can provide deep emotional nourishment, filling any spaces within that crave fulfilment and joy.

Relationship Dynamics and Emotional Realisations

Full Moons are moments of significant realisation, especially concerning personal situations and relationships. The shifts in energy between opposing poles become more apparent, prompting reflection on the balance of giving and receiving. This is a valuable opportunity to assess where your relationships are headed and to communicate openly about what is needed to ensure their longevity. Embracing change and adaptability is essential, as circumstances are ever evolving. In a world that is rapidly advancing technologically, forward-thinking and openness to the future are indispensable.

The Quest for Freedom and Authenticity

Leo’s desire for the best, combined with the drive for constant inner evolution, underscores the personal journey towards freedom and perfection. This journey is ongoing, inviting you to look within and honestly evaluate what you truly want. Consider the realistic changes you can make to reach your goals and be honest with yourself about what is possible.

Permanence and Future Direction

The illumination of this Full Moon occurs in the middle degrees of the fixed signs, bringing with it an energy of permanence. The changes you make now have the potential to become lasting features in your life. Take time to reflect carefully on your chosen path forward, as the decisions made during this period can establish new norms and enduring patterns.

Personal Guidance

If you are seeking clarity or wish to explore these themes further, personal insight consultations are available to support your journey.

New Moon @ 28 Capricorn- 18 Jan 2026 19:50 (GMT) Belfast. U.K.

New Moon in Capricorn: Beginnings, Completion, and Transformation

The arrival of a New Moon always signifies a moment of renewal and fresh beginnings. This particular New Moon is marked not only by the potential for starting anew, but also by the culmination of long-term endeavours. Its occurrence in the final degrees of a cardinal sign suggests that some significant projects or personal journeys may be nearing completion, offering a chance to tie up loose ends and prepare for what comes next.

Mercury and Mars: Intense Thought and Ambition

The close conjunction of the New Moon with Mercury and Mars infuses this lunar phase with dynamic intellectual and conversational energy. These influences stimulate focused thinking and discussions, particularly in relation to ambition and the pursuit of longevity. The presence of these planets encourages reflection on your goals, inviting you to channel your mental energies towards lasting achievement.

Venus and Pluto in Aquarius: Transformation and Values

Meanwhile, in the neighbouring sign of Aquarius, Venus and Pluto are closely aligned, shaping the New Moon's impact by transforming the way you value what you desire. This planetary dance prompts a reassessment of finances and relationships, urging you to consider how to elevate your approach or reinvent your perspective. Whether it is money matters or the dynamics of your connections with others, this is a period that calls for thoughtful evaluation and potential change.

Supportive Aspects: Uranus, Saturn, and Neptune

The trine aspect to Uranus in Ta**us provides a smooth transition into new and exciting territory. This alignment makes it easier to embrace innovation and view your progress from a fresh perspective. Additionally, the sextile aspect to Saturn and Neptune presents opportunities to establish something practical, potentially allowing you to give concrete form to a long-held dream and make it function in the real world.

Guidance for Moving Forward

During this New Moon, it is beneficial to reflect on what you have been building towards over the long term. Stay receptive to new ideas and be willing to reinvent your methods. The energies of this lunar phase support the pursuit of reliability and sustainability in ongoing projects, both personal and professional.

Full Moon in Cancer: Emotional Depth and Relationship Dynamics

On 03/01/2025 at 10:02 GMT, the full moon is exact at 13 degrees Cancer, marking a particularly powerful lunar event due to the moon's domicile in her home sign. This placement brings home and family matters firmly to the forefront, highlighting the importance of the people closest to us—immediate family such as children, parents, siblings, spouses, close friends, and lovers. The nurturing, caring qualities of Cancer are especially prominent, motivating a strong desire to protect and support those we love. As Cancer is the first water sign of the zodiac and cardinal in nature, it marks our initial encounter with the emotional world, our sensitivities, and our current emotional state. During the days surrounding this full moon, emotional triggers may surface, making it essential to remain mindful of tendencies towards excessive protectiveness or difficulty in letting go.

The opposition of the Sun, Venus, and Mars to the moon underscores the theme of relationship energy during this lunation. The Sun is positioned between Venus and Mars, planets that embody the forces of attraction and projection within relationships. Both Venus and Mars are closely aligned in Capricorn, a sign known for its structure, ambition, rules, and concern with status. This configuration signals the need for relationship building, setting boundaries, and engaging in long-term planning to ensure the stability and success of partnerships.

Jupiter's conjunction with the moon adds a sense of opportunity, luck, and blessings, provided that actions taken during this time are in alignment with a meaningful and purposeful path. Additional themes that may arise include the possibility of relocating abroad, connections with foreign cultures, and considerations related to higher education or spiritual beliefs.

At its core, the energy of a full moon is oppositional, making relationships a central factor in the ebb and flow of energy between individuals. Maintaining a balance of giving and receiving is recommended for productive progress within relationships. For this full moon, the optimal approach is to focus on personal emotional well-being while striving for lasting success within a structured and ever-deepening union of souls.

For personal insights and forecasts for 2026 consultations are available.

Best wishes to everyone for 2026.
