Podcasts about New moon

This week: Happy Holidays!... and quieter skies, as the universe offers a bit of a holiday reprieve. Venus and Neptune challenge beliefs about relationships and our values. Venus puts on her investor hat as she goes to work in Capricorn. There is a sizzling First Quarter Moon in Aries, and a listener question about how AI may impact the field of astrology. Plus: Working things out, a new tradition, and the case for consulting humans. Note: We're taking a little holiday break, so there will be NO PODCAST ON DEC. 29. But we'll be back on January 5 to help you ring in the New Year! Read a full transcript of this episode. Have a question you'd like answered on the show? Email April or leave it here!

Timestamps [1:44] Venus squares Neptune (Dec. 23, 9:31 pm PST) at 29°25' Sagittarius-Pisces. When there's a square aspect between Venus and Neptune, we can achieve clarity about relationships, finances, or values, and let go of the things and people that drain us. [4:45] Venus enters the sign of Capricorn (Dec. 24, 8:26 am PST), and it'll be in this sign until Jan. 17, 2026. This is a practical Venus that wants relationships that are stable and solid, based on shared values, shared goals. [8:14] Moon Report! The Aries First Quarter Moon (Dec. 27, 11:10 am PST) is at 6°17' Aries-Capricorn. This is the first action point in the New Moon cycle that began at the Dec. 19 New Moon in Sagittarius. Consider things before dashing off to get something done. [11:36] This is the First Quarter (first action point) in a lunar phase family cycle (LPFC) that began with the New Moon solar eclipse of Mar. 29, 2025, at 9°00' Aries. The Full Moon (awareness point) in this LPFC comes on Sept. 26, 2026, at 3°37' Aries. The Last Quarter (final action point) in this LPFC is on June 26, 2027, at 5°21' Aries. [13:21] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods. The Moon in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces (Dec. 22, 6:44 am PST). It's VOC for 1 hour, 8 minutes, then enters Aquarius (7:52 am PST). Use this VOC Moon period to get in the habit of going with the flow, instead of insisting that your way is the best and the only way. This VOC could also help your spiritual practice. [14:57] The Moon in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus (Dec. 24, 1:42 pm PST). It's VOC for 3 hours, 27 minutes, then enters Pisces (5:09 pm). There might be an unexpected desire to introduce a new holiday tradition. Use this VOC period to get in the habit of letting down your guard when it comes to traditions and welcome something fresh and new, maybe even something a little bit innovative. [16:36] The Moon conjuncts Neptune in Pisces (Dec. 26, 11:03 pm PST). It's VOC for 59 minutes and then enters Aries (Dec. 27, 12:02 am PST). Take a lovely bath, listen to music, or even watch a sentimental movie. Use this VOC Moon period to get in the habit of some healthy escapism. [18:03] Listener Elizabeth asks about how AI may impact the field of astrology.

*(Note Part One of this episode)New Moon Lunar Cycle Themes:  Expansion, Exploration, New Perspective through Wisdom, Spiritual Renewal. The conjunction of the Sun and Moon, “Dark Moon” part of the lunar cycle is powerful and focused as a portal toward immense changes on both a personal and collective level in 2026 This lunar cycle is especially impactful and meaningful because it is coupled with the winter Solstice in the Northern hemisphere, and the summer Solstice in the Southern hemisphere. The solstice energy is a messenger of truth, clarity and inner wisdom.  It places tremendous emphasis on relinquishing the past, while trusting in the possibilities of the future which are yet unseen and unknown. This Moon offers both inner focus, and the opportunity to experience worldly experiences through connection to Cosmic Source. Guidance through trusting intuitive insights, from the well of personal inspiration, is the key for moving toward greater and higher vibrational consciousness.During this lunar cycle, the awareness of growth, expansion, plenty, and abundance are under major consideration.  Even as we look out and observe the erroneous beliefs and falsehoods into the collective society, it's absolutely critical to dream one's own big dreams.  The sign of Sagittarius is about believing in your own  inner awareness and wisdom that connects with authentic understanding which supports dignity, respect, freedom and sovereignty for every person.This New Moon and  Solstice connections are placing emphasis on listening to yourself.  It is time to forge a personal path that does not rely on asking someone else what you “should” or need to do.  The New Moon offers opportunity to gather awareness of new intentions, while the solstice's "return to light" energy is a gateway for deeper self-realization.  Four Key Questions for 2026 DirectionWhat is your "Philosophy of Life"?How will you embrace your values and inspiration through intuitive awareness?How will you seek new meaning for yourself, as you envision experiences and possibilities that await you in the coming months?Are you willing to be the "Truth-teller", to be honest and open to the "Wisdom within yourself"?*Please enjoy Part Two of this episode:  "Sound Alchemy" with Kathy H.

The dance of water (feminine) and fire (masculine) intensifies: water replenishing, fire clearing impurities, opposites in delicate harmony, drawing us inward to retreat and realign within our solar cycle.This is a passage, not just “one day.” Honor the transition over several days rather than a fixed date. In Australia, the shift into summer spans ~4 days; here in the North, winter's arrival unfolds over ~9 days. Awareness of these shifts supports your inner/outer landscape and reclaims your natural rhythm with place.We're spiraling into mastery of self, serving communities with balance and reciprocation, season by season.May you dance freely with Mother Nature and divine love this winter/summer transition.

May you enter into the Northern winters with the rhythm of slow waltz and Southern summers with the flow of a spicy salsa or tango. Simply. Listen. Rest in the Void.The New Moon reached full potency on Friday, December 19, 2025, eliminating reference to chrono time. Questions:Are you willing to create more space for silence in you daily life?If yes, where is the most effortless place to do this first? If no, why?What are you prepared to start visioning for the benefit of self and others?Weekly talks are an offering to assist you in diving deeper into a spiritual practice, exploring your inner landscape, and cultivating inner peace.Time Stamps: Dharma 0:00 | Meditation 22:00 | Sound 46:00 | Outro 1:25:00MusicRandom Rab  Up Coming Shows:‘Fields of Floors' by Cadre Scott Sound Suzanne Toro Producer: Dante Marino Production brought to you by OmToro Wellness + MediaMind Training: 8 Limbs Yoga Session: Weekly Writings and Well BeingHumanity + Earth Friendly Goodies:SuperfeastLiving TeaKindSpringFormula FlawlessBalance + Focus Quick LinkOra CacoaBook: SunPlayHoney Bee Hippie

We're in the middle of a changing of eras. Now's the time to set your intention to reach past what you previously thought possible in the coming year. You don't need outside validation. You need only to believe in your capacity to try new ways of being.

We are in a powerful energetic window right now with the Winter Solstice, a New Moon, and a moment of deep reflection and reset. In this Soul Elevation livestream, I explore the energetic reality of people pleasing, boundaries, and the unseen energy exchanges that shape our health, emotions, and life satisfaction. I share personal experiences from my work as a podcast host and former corporate professional to illustrate how over-giving without reciprocity leads to depletion, imbalance, and eventually burnout. This conversation is about understanding your worth as an energetic being and learning how to honor yourself without guilt. We also reflect on the seasonal energy of the Winter Solstice, a natural time of rest, restoration, and inner recalibration. If you have been feeling tired, unmotivated, or in a quiet void, this is not something to fix. It is something to honor. In this episode, you will explore: • Why people pleasing creates energetic imbalance • How energy exchange mirrors a balance sheet • The connection between boundaries and vitality • Recognizing energetic siphoning in relationships and work • How to protect your energy without conflict or guilt • Using the New Moon and Solstice window for intentional reset This is not about keeping score or tit for tat relationships. It is about honoring your energy, recognizing reciprocity, and stepping into self respect as a spiritual practice.

Our last Moon Gathering in 2025. Wrapping up and setting new goals for 2026.

Join Jeff Hinshaw as we explore the rare and powerful alignment of the Sagittarius New Moon with the Galactic Center at 28° Sagittarius. This final New Moon of 2025 invites us to plant intentions that reach beyond the personal, tapping into collective consciousness, cosmic vision, and universal belonging. Through astrology, somatic practices, music, and storytelling, we dive into ways to embody this expansive energy in both personal growth and relational connection. Overall Episode Themes: Universality, cosmic belonging, expansive vision, relational transmission, integration of astrology, tarot, art, music, science, and ritual. Emphasizes releasing limiting beliefs and tapping into a field larger than personal will.   Main Topics Discussed: 1. Sagittarius New Moon & Galactic Center Sagittarius New Moon: Marks the close of Sagittarius season and approaches the Winter Solstice (Northern Hemisphere). Galactic Center: Rotational and gravitational center of the Milky Way, astrologically at 27° Sagittarius. Known as a cosmic amplifier, transmitting universal truth, insight, and awakening. Current Alignment: New Moon at 28° Sagittarius (~1° from the Galactic Center) amplifies themes of collective vision, meaning-making, and cosmic orientation. Ritual & Reflection Practices: Embodiment/Somatic Connection: Breathwork, lengthening spine, and stretching inner horizons during meditation. Seed Planting & Intention Setting: Use mantras like “I expand. I envision. I arise.” and pull a tarot card for each intention. Personal Reflection: Jeff shares how his own chart (Uranus, Ceres, Saturn near the Galactic Center in 11th house) connects his work to cosmic and collective themes. 2. Steven Spielberg's Chart: Galactic Center in Action Birthdate: December 18, 1946 Key Placements: Sun in Sagittarius conjunct Galactic Center Scorpio Moon conjunct Chiron (5th House) Cancer Rising Black Moon Lilith conjunct Sun Interpretations: Sun GC: Cosmic storytelling, transpersonal vision. Black Moon Lilith: Outsider energy, queer/wild archetypes; E.T.'s themes of otherness, drag/closet motifs. Moon-Chiron: Healing through creative expression, inner child sensitivity, “ouch” moments in storytelling. Cancer Rising: Nurturance, belonging, emotional rootedness. Summary: Spielberg's chart embodies the archetype of the “cosmic archer in the darkness, finding their way back home”. 3. Venus & Juno at the Galactic Center: Relational Transmission Positions at New Moon: Venus: 24° Sagittarius (~3° from GC) Juno: 26° Sagittarius (~1° from GC) Sun & Moon: 28° Sagittarius Interpretation: Venus: Cosmic values, worthiness, devotion beyond the personal. Juno: Commitment to soul-level partnerships and universal collaboration. Intentions: Set intentions for relationships and collaborations that support higher collective vision. 4. Music, Science, & the Cosmos: Carl Sagan Tribute Featured Music: “A Glorious Dawn” by John D. Boswell (Symphony of Science) featuring Carl Sagan. Purpose: Meditate on the cosmic nervous system, foster awe and wonder, connect science with spiritual reflection. Carl Sagan's Chart: Scorpio Sun, Sagittarius Moon conjunct Galactic Center—an example of cosmic storytelling bridging art, science, and spirituality. 5. Upcoming Offerings & Announcements Fool's Tarot Journey (6-Month Online Program): Begins Jan 13, 2026. Ritual immersion into the Major Arcana, co-facilitated by Lindsay Mack & Mary Evans. Registration open for two more weeks. 1:1 Mentorship & Astrology/Tarot Sessions: Deep-dive sessions available via cosmiccousins.com. Lonely Planet Travel Tarot Deck: Releasing Feb 17, 2026. Pre-orders now available. 6. Interview with Hannah Ramone On this week's episode of Cosmic Cousins, Jeff Hinshaw is joined by Seattle-based queer pop singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, music teacher, and astrologer Hannah Ramone. We listen to four of Hannah's songs, “Had It Lost It,” “Clarity,” “Fight Your Devil,” and “Taught Me to Love”.  These songs serve as touchstones for depth, healing, collaboration, and truth-telling, all while exploring Sagittarian themes of meaning-making, collective vision, and creative fire. The conversation moves fluidly between Hannah's musical journey and astrological practice, tracing early beginnings in a deeply musical family, a lifelong relationship with songwriting as vision and ritual, and the Virgoan devotion required to bring inspired Sagittarian ideas into form. We hope you enjoy!!       Cosmic Cousins Links Cosmic Cousins Memberships Intro & Outro Music by:  Felix III Mentorship Deep Dive Astrology Readings Tarot Soul Journey

Hi everyone, In this episode, we review the New Moon in Mula nakshatra—a lunar mansion known for its ability to expose roots, cut away what no longer serves, and its investment to the source of Truth.

Mars has been out of bounds in Sagittarius and connecting with the outer planets, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. It's been impacting our drive and motivation, leading to feelings of overwhelm and extremes in behavior. Luckily, this week Mars entered the sign of Capricorn where he is exalted, aka feeling himself. You might feel like you can finally get some traction with your to-do list. The Sun will also enter Capricorn on Sunday, marking the winter solstice, aka one of the two days of the year when the sun “stands still” and encourages us to pause. The winter solstice is the “longest night of the year” in the Northern Hemisphere encouraging you to turn your focus inward, pull away from the hustle and bustle, at least for a few moments and connect with spirit. The New Moon in Sagittarius arrives right before that, on Friday December 19. At 28 degrees the New Moon in Sagittarius is squaring Saturn and Neptune and inconjunct Uranus. It's a waving green flag to finally make those changes you've been mulling over before the year is out. This New Moon is activating the Saturn-Neptune conjunction that will define 2026 and have impacts that will last 35 years!

Capricorn Season: Embracing Grounded Energy and Innovative Beginnings In this Cosmic Energy Report, Andrea and Emily dive into the themes and energies of Capricorn season, a time for embracing change, optimism, and personal growth. Their conversation highlights how cosmic shifts, like the solstice and key planetary alignments, invite us to release old patterns and make space for new beginnings. There's a strong focus on grounding through rituals, reconnecting with community, and honoring traditions that help us feel rooted amidst uncertainty. The episode also touches on the tension between indulgence and discipline, encouraging listeners to find balance, set healthy boundaries, and celebrate small wins along the way.   Tarot insights woven throughout the episode, featuring cards like the Knight of Cups and The Magician, underscore themes of emotional presence, abundance, confidence, and creative manifestation. The episode also explores the impact of Jupiter and Chiron retrograde, the full moon in Cancer, and the transition of Venus into Aquarius, all of which invite us to trust the timing of our journey and embrace authenticity. Ultimately, the message is one of hope and resilience: by showing up as our true selves and staying open to transformation, we can navigate challenges and step confidently into new cycles and opportunities.   Show Notes [00:00:00] Welcome & Capricorn season energy check-in [00:00:49] Solstice, new moon, and major astrological shifts ahead [00:02:00] Three I Atlas near Regulus: Leo energy spotlight [00:03:20] Angel numbers and signs: Synchronicity increases [00:07:33] Capricorn's “Tower Moment”: Embracing change for growth [00:14:03] Night of Cups Tarot: Seek beauty, avoid overcompensation [00:19:59] Venus squares Saturn: Balancing indulgence and discipline [00:21:59] Emotional healing: Jupiter and Chiron retrograde insights [00:24:09] Ten of Pentacles Tarot: Celebrate community and abundance [00:27:11] New Year's energy: Rejecting excess, embracing authenticity [00:32:11] Queen of Wands Tarot: Step into confidence and visibility [00:34:11] Venus conjunct Mars: Aligning passion and purpose [00:36:11] Full Moon in Cancer: Emotional release and new beginnings [00:38:32] The Empress Tarot: Manifesting dreams into reality [00:41:11] The Magician Tarot: Resourcefulness and new cycles begin [00:43:11] Venus enters Aquarius: Value innovation and individuality [00:45:11] New Moon in Capricorn: Set bold, meaningful intentions [01:00:00] Closing thoughts: Embrace your unique path and creativity   Connect with Andrea Newsletter: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/newsletter-signup Remote Recharges: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/remote-recharges Direct to Bookings: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/sessions Website: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/ Instagram: @concreteandcrystals @andreamccallum.art

In this episode of the *Your Sign Says* podcast, intuitive astrologer Kim Allen breaks down the powerful energy of the Sagittarius New Moon and what it means for new beginnings as we prepare for the year ahead. Sagittarius invites expansion, optimism, and bold intention-setting, making this an ideal time to dream bigger and move with purpose. Kim offers guidance for each zodiac sign, exploring how this new moon influences adventure, financial security, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. From taking calculated risks to aligning your goals with your truth, this episode encourages listeners to embrace change, release limitations, and step confidently into new opportunities. If you're ready to reset, refocus, and plant seeds for the future, this New Moon conversation will help you align your intentions with the energy of what's next.

ARIESThis New Moon shifts your beliefs and long-term direction. You're questioning what you've been fighting for and whether it's still true for you. With heavy Scorpio energy, shared finances, debts, or emotional entanglements come into focus. You're being asked to choose truth over impulse and strategy over reaction.TAURUSThis lunation highlights trust, intimacy, and power dynamics. You may see clearly where control or fear has been driving decisions. Scorpio energy activates relationships deeply, forcing honesty. This is about transforming how you bond, not avoiding what feels intense.GEMINIRelationships are reset now. This New Moon challenges what partnership means to you and whether agreements are balanced. Scorpio energy stirs work, health, and daily habits, showing you where burnout or resentment has been ignored. Small changes now have long-term impact.CANCERYour focus turns to purpose and daily alignment. This New Moon asks whether your routines support who you're becoming. Scorpio energy activates creativity, romance, and emotional expression, making it impossible to ignore what truly lights you up. Pleasure and truth reconnect here.LEOThis is a powerful reset around joy, creativity, and self-expression. You're being asked to reclaim authenticity rather than performance. Scorpio energy brings deep emotional truths around home, family, or past conditioning. What you release now frees your future confidence.VIRGOThis New Moon shifts your foundation. Beliefs around safety, belonging, and stability are changing. Scorpio energy intensifies communication and thought patterns, revealing where fear or obsession has been shaping your mindset. Speak honestly, especially with yourself.LIBRAYour values and voice evolve under this New Moon. What you say yes to — and why — becomes clear. Scorpio energy activates money and self-worth, exposing where power has been given away. This is about choosing alignment over approval.SCORPIOThis is deeply personal. The New Moon asks you to redefine what matters and what you're building. With multiple planets in your sign, identity transformation is unavoidable. Old versions fall away. You don't need to control this process — just be honest inside it.SAGITTARIUSThis is your New Moon, and it's a reset of self, direction, and belief. Scorpio energy works behind the scenes, pulling unconscious fears or hidden endings into awareness. Rest, reflection, and truth-telling prepare you for a new chapter.CAPRICORNThis lunation activates endings, healing, and release. You're clearing mental and emotional clutter. Scorpio energy highlights community, friendships, and future plans, showing you which connections are draining versus empowering. Less obligation, more alignment.AQUARIUSYour public direction and long-term goals come into focus. The New Moon asks where you're headed and why. Scorpio energy intensifies career and authority themes, exposing hidden pressures or power struggles. Lead with integrity, not expectation.PISCESThis New Moon reshapes your worldview. Beliefs around truth, education, and meaning evolve. Scorpio energy brings depth to faith, travel, or spiritual understanding. You're shedding illusions and stepping into wisdom that comes from lived experience.

The Moon meets the Sun at the beginning of Sagittarius, in the lunar mansion Mūla. Mūla means 'root', pointing both to our cosmic origins (the galactic centre viewed through this sign), and to our personal and collective roots as a family and as a species. These themes often rise to the surface as we enter the holidays and reconnect with relatives we may not see all year.Mūla helps us get to the root of things, revealing long-held beliefs that need to be released. Its symbol, a bunch of roots, also speaks to healing, especially through herbs. This is a time when family wounds can be healed, but the process can cut deep as buried issues come to light.Mūla is ruled by Niritti, the 'goddess of destruction', reminding us that anything standing in the way of truth must be cleared. At the Christmas table, remember that everyone holds their own version of the truth, especially with Jupiter retrograde in Gemini amplifying opinions!With Mars in combustion and Venus crossing the Scorpio–Sagittarius juncture, tensions may rise, and arguments can break out easily. To maintain peace, avoid discussing sensitive topics and simply enjoy your meal - unless you need to clear the air. The New Moon occurs a day before the Solstice, which is itself a turning point, and with Jupiter, the New Moon's ruler, bright at the mid-way point of its retrograde phase. Ultimately, this period is about reconnecting to the truth within, so you can meet the truth within others with more grace.

This horoscope is for the new moon in Sagittarius, which happens on Friday, December 19, 2025 at 8:43 p.m. ET.Follow me @ethereal_astrology on Instagram for a live conversation on the 2026 astrology on Monday, December 22, 2025 around 3 p.m. ET.Book a reading with me on my website at etherealastrology.com/readings.We have been trying to manifest a new, different, and better experience for quite some time, especially by beginning to behave in new, different, and better ways.Well, at this new moon in Sagittarius, we feel like we have done absolutely everything we can do to manifest new experiences and are ready for them to finally arrive.However, despite all our efforts and internal shifts, new and better things still aren't coming together. We still feel stuck in old things.As a result, we feel confused, sad, exhausted, overwhelmed, and triggered.We don't know why nothing is working, when we feel like we have done everything we possibly can.In addition, we feel like we cannot keep hoping for the new to occur if it is not occurring because if we do so, our finances may crumble or our stability and safety might be threatened.This can make us feel like we are at a breaking point when it comes to manifesting something new and different.However, little do many of us know, the new thing is right around the corner! It just needs a little more time to make its way to us.As a result, I recommend that we lay off manifesting the new and better things right now — and that we stop trying to get to this better place. Instead, I recommend that we just chill out, calm our emotions, and give ourselves a little more time and space to get a different perspective.I also recommend that instead we focus on cleaning or organizing our current experience and getting our practical matters in order.This does NOT mean that we need to go back to old things we left behind in order to find a sense of security. It means, we just need to work with our current situation better, or find some sort of stop-gap temporary solution for our financial concerns.That will then help us to feel much better, and allow the new things to come to us much more easily a few weeks from now.Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬(0:00) Introduction(02:41) General Themes(10:20) Past Context(30:50) Specifics(1:01:20) Summary(1:06:00) Other Notes(1:21:25) Inside Degrees(1:38:30) TarotI am using The Practical Tarot by Lisa Kessler.Follow me on Instagram:http://www.instagram.com/ethereal_astrologyWatch me daily on Horoscope.com:https://www.horoscope.com/us/horoscopes/general/horoscope-overview-daily-today.aspx Hosted on Acast.

Episode DescriptionThe New Moon rises in Mūla Nakshatra, the star of twisted roots, uprooting, and radical truth — and it arrives wrapped in the liminal threshold of Gandānta, the karmic knot where water turns to fire, endings demand honesty, and rebirth cannot be postponed.In this episode of Third Eye Roll, Dr. Justine Lemos and Emily McConnell dive into the mythic, astrological, and nervous-system realities of this potent moment at the end of 2025. We explore Mūla's fierce medicine of dissolution, the goddess Nirṛti (the remover, not the punisher), and why some things don't need healing — they need ending.We unpack:

This week... "You might be in a process of ending a world for yourself because, over the last two months, some kind of spark has been inside you, asking to be tended.

You could listen to your heart."This week-ahead reading for Dec 15-21, 2025 is an excerpt from this week's⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Somatic Space class⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with Renee Sills.
