Cancer Super Full Moon on January 2, 2018

Full Moon in: Cancer 11°
January 2, 2018 @ 2:26 a.m. GMT

Sun is Capricorn, 11° 38'  - Moon is Cancer, 11° 38'

Happy New Year!

This is the first full moon of 2018 and we will get a second super full moon in January.  It will be the Aquarius Lunar Eclipse. This Cancer Full Moon is known as the Wolf Moon. This is a super full moon because it is closer to the earth. It will look larger in the sky, especially on the horizon. There are multiple interactions from the full moon to Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Neptune, giving us a lot of think about and navigate as our new year begins.

Essentially, the Moon is the tail end of a Kite pattern, which elevates the Moon, in status, through the Grand Trine in Water, by adding in Capricorn's Earth element. All the placements in this Kite are feminine receptives. This puts the Sun and Venus, in Capricorn, in the hot-seats at the top of the Kite. Read more about this Super Full Moon at Lunar Living Astrology. 

Sagittarius New Moon December 18, 2017

The last New Moon of 2017 in the sign of Sagittarius. Then Saturn and the Sun move into Capricorn in a few days before Christmas. 

Venus will be Out of Bounds through the last week of December and into January. Saturn has been moving through the high declinations  of Capricorn, right along with the Sun. 

Lots of Unusual Lunar Factors to consider in 2018. Fasten your Seatbelts as we slide into 2018.  Starting in January, we will get two full moons in January and March, no full moon in February, a Super Full Moon during the Lunar Eclipse in January and a Solar Eclipse in February will begin the Chinese New Year of the Dog.  

Gemini Full Super Moon December 3, 2017

Full Moon Gemini Super Moon Advent Sunday Wheee! https://www.lunarliving.org/ articles/fm1203_17.html This full moon has some difficult aspects to it, that we must do our best to navigate with grace.  The Mercury retrograde motion happens approximately eight hours before the peak of the full moon and the retrograde motion will end on December 23. This can be a miserable time to plan for the holiday travel and mailing/shipping season. Double check every detail at least twice!

Getting Back in to the Swing before 2017 is Over

My apologies for the sudden absence this past year.  I was finishing up my degree for a Masters, then family life stuff got really heavy. Additionally, my mother died a few months ago, and whew, it was just some really heavy stuff.  Saturn was opposing my Sun through most of it, and it has weighed heavy in the responsibility department. Now that Saturn is moving into Capricorn, I know that I will have other types of obligations, but in a different way and it should be more manageable. 

The hope is that life has moved into a new phase enough for me to kick back into posting on my blog. The past few months have also been about getting my other websites on track and on new hosting service. You may not know that I am not only involved in Lunar Living, but I also created/developed the set-up for Moon Tracks Astrology Calendars.  I am in the process of cleaning up the Astroscoped Directory.  Plus, hopefully, I can get back to establishing JAstrology as a learning environment. Collectively, these keep me busy, but I also work and am actively involved in a couple of organizations. So, the photo in this post pretty much describes how my brain works. 

Thank you all for your patience and for hanging in there with me while I attempt to get back to doing more of the things that pique my interest. 

Be well,
J McCaul
