New Moon Solar Eclipse
A New Moon or Solar Eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are in the same sign and the same degree. A Solar Eclipse is essentially a powerful New Moon, and its impact, depending on house placement, has a longer-lasting influence. The effect of a Solar Eclipse in a house can last an entire year; this means the Natal Chart house receiving the Solar Eclipse will be active for 12 months. For example, if a Solar Eclipse falls in your natal 4th house, the entire year you may be focused on 4th house activities: perhaps buying or selling a home, renovating a home, or dealing with family issues.
The New Moon period is a time of new beginnings and fresh intentions; if you are doing a ritual, do so within three days following the New Moon; it is essential not to set intentions before the New Moon. Just because the Sun and Moon are in the same sign does not mean the New Moon is active; the Sun and Moon must also be in the same degree. Anything prior to this is a period of release and letting go.
New Moon & Solar Eclipse in the Houses
First House
The first house is all about you! The 1st house governs your aesthetic, your health, your body, and the way you present yourself to the world. When a New Moon or Solar Eclipse falls here, you may wish to get back into the gym, style your hair differently, or reinvent yourself in some manner. You may also feel reenergized after a period of rest and ready to get back out into the world and socialize more. It is giving “I am Coming Out” – Diana Ross vibes.
Second House
The second house is all about finances, the money you earn and the money you spend. This is all about financial planning; perhaps you will decide to open a new savings account or invest extra money in your 401k. You may look into alternative streams of income or begin saving to purchase a house. This placement is asking you to move differently financially; how are you spending your money? Are you investing in your financial future?
Third House
The third house encompasses a variety of things: our siblings, transportation, education, short-distance travel, and communication. I always suggest teaching or hosting workshops during this New Moon, as it can represent a time of enhanced knowledge. You may purchase a new car during this New Moon or seek to have improved relationships with your siblings. This can also be a period where you decide to be a more effective communicator or set the intention to travel more.
Fourth House
The fourth house governs our home and family; it is one of the more private houses in the Natal Chart. When the New Moon lands in your 4th house, you may extend an olive branch to family members. It can also be a period of retreating and going within; perhaps you’re reorganizing, decorating, or even setting intentions to move or spend more time at home or with family.
Fifth House
The fifth house is home to self- expression, creativity, dating, pleasure, and children! This New Moon is asking you to live out loud and tap into your talents and other things that you truly enjoy. How can you nourish your inner child? How can you incorporate play into your life? This is a great New Moon to start a new hobby. If you have been playing small, it is asking you to step into the limelight and put yourself out there romantically. If you have been wanting to expand your family, this can be a great time for pregnancy (the entire chart must be considered).
Sixth House
The sixth house governs day-to-day activities; it’s associated with work, our coworkers, health (along with the 1st), and small pets. This is THE time to get back into the gym and establish better habits. The 6th house represents things we habitually do; it has a ritualistic quality, and a New Moon placed here is asking you to get back into the gym, eat healthier, and reorganize your life so it flows more easily. You may also adopt a pet and make an effort to improve relationships with coworkers.
Seventh House
We usually refer to the 7th house as the house of marriage, but it is really the house of “others” as well as partnerships, both personal and business. If you have been looking to partner up with someone for a business deal, this is a time to get things started. This can be a period of reaching out to clients by offering certain incentives. If you have your own business, you should consider running new advertisement/ads to bring in more clientele. You may want to do a ritual or the 369 method on the day the New Moon falls in your 7th house to attract new romantic love.
Eight House
The eighth house is the house traditionally known as “Sex, Death, and Taxes.” A New Moon here can be a time of great transformation, and the energy can almost be two-fold. With this being the house naturally ruled by Scorpio, you may find you are letting something go to make room for the new. This is the time to sign up for a tarot, astrology, or psychology class or perhaps open your own practice. The 8th house also corresponds with our creditors and people we owe money to. Now is the time to make a financial plan to pay back taxes, credit card debts, and student loans, etc.
Ninth House
The ninth house is associated with long-distance travel and higher education; these are the areas where you want to place your energy. A few years ago, I sent the intention to visit a new country a year. This is something I would suggest is a great thing to do when the New Moon is placed in the 9th house. Some may want to return to school, so now is the time to fill out your applications or look into a university. The 9th house is connected to far-off places. You can tap into that energy by studying other cultures, signing up to learn a second language, or taking a cooking class focused on a cuisine that is not your own. This is all about growth and expansion, both intellectually and culturally.
Tenth House
The 10th house is associated not only with our career, but also with what we are known for in this lifetime. This New Moon is asking you to consider not only your 5-year plan but also your legacy. If you desire a career change, now is the time to send out resumes. This New Moon is asking you to go beyond a career change, and it is asking you to ask yourself what your plan is, and what you can do today to get to where you want to be. For anyone who has a business, I always suggest putting out content or advertising when the moon is in the same sign as your Midheaven- it does not have to be a New Moon exclusively.
Eleventh House
The eleventh House is one of the social houses in Astrology. Here, we find networking, friendships, and group endeavors. This is the time to connect with others and expand your social circle. This is the time to join a group-it can be a group involved with political change or a work affiliation. This can be a time of hosting a group event or working with others. The 11th house is traditionally known as the house of:” like-minded friends, hopes and wishes.” So set your intentions for things you want to see manifest in the future. This is a perfect time for a vision board!
Twelfth House
The twelfth house in astrology is the house of solitude and endings. This New Moon is two-fold, as it is asking for you to retreat and let go before starting fresh. This is great for learning or connecting with spiritual healing modalities such as Reiki, dream journaling, Akashic Records, and meditation. You are being asked to pull back your energy and develop a new spiritual practice, go further into your own healing, and release all means of self-sabotage.
A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
A Full Moon or Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are in opposite signs and at the same degree. A Solar Eclipse is a powerful New Moon, and its impact by house placement has a longer-lasting influence. The Full Moon or Lunar Eclipse will activate two houses. The effect of the Lunar Eclipse in a house can last an entire year; this means the Natal Chart house receiving the Lunar Eclipse will be active for 12 months. For example, if a Lunar Eclipse falls in your 2nd and 8th house, the entire year you may be focused on financial issues. This can suggest unexpected expenses, balancing budgets, or sometimes a loss of a job (the entire chart must be considered).
The Full Moon period is a time of endings and letting go. It is also a period of illumination; you will likely have sudden revelations in the houses that the Full Moon or Lunar Eclipse is activating.
Keep in mind Full Moons and Lunar Eclipses tend to be more emotionally charged than New Moons and Solar Eclipses.
First and Seventh Houses
When a Full Moon or Lunar Eclipse falls across the 1st and 7th house axis, this brings relationship issues to a head; it is not uncommon to see arguments with partners during this Full Moon. This Full Moon or Lunar Eclipse also requires balance between yourself and other people in your life. Perhaps you are readjusting your needs vs theirs, or maybe you need to set boundaries with the people in your life. This goes beyond just romantic partnership; this Full Moon extends to people generally speaking. Relationship issues will be illuminated during this period; issues connected to values and equal give and take.
Second and Eight Houses
When a Full Moon or Lunar Eclipse falls across the 2nd and 8th house axis, this brings financial issues or concerns to the forefront; you may suddenly get hit with an unexpected bill or IRS expense. You may feel a sudden rush to get yourself financially together.. This can bring up financial issues connected to a business partner or spouse, or you may need to have clearly defined agreements on who is responsible for what fiscally. On occasion with this Full Moon, I do see the passing away of a loved one; this is usually not unexpected, it can be someone that was not well for quite some time.
Third and Ninth Houses
This is honestly one of the least eventful Full Moon Lunar Eclipses. In my opinion, it can suggest the completion of a degree and educational experience. You may argue with someone, siblings in particular. It may be an overall busy period where you are on the go and do not have a minute to breathe; it can bring spiritual, philosophical, and political revelations as well as unexpected or shocking news or communication.
Fourth and Tenth Houses
When a Full Moon or Lunar Eclipse lands in the 4th and 10th house, it usually suggests a very emotionally charged period that can result in major changes in your career or your living situation. Balance is required as it pertains to your family/private life vs your career/public life. You may uproot your entire life during this period. Watch for disagreements on the home and work front. Anytime a Full Moon is placed in an angular house (1st, 7th, 4th and 10th), life events can be publicized.
Fifth and Eleventh Houses
When a Full Moon or Lunar Eclipse activates your Eleventh and Fifth house, this can suggest the ending of a friendship or certain group affiliation. This can really stir your creative tendencies, and you may find you are embarking on a new creative endeavor. Full Moons always involve balance, and this Full Moon or Lunar Eclipse is asking you to balance your needs, wants, and desires vs those of others – others can be the collective, friends, and people you network with, career-wise. You may also find you are at the end of a group project.
Sixth and Twelfth Houses
When a Full Moon or Lunar Eclipse lights up your 12th and 6th house, it can be a VERY emotionally charged and exhausting period. The 12th house is connected to the unconscious and the things we do not want to look at. A Full Moon placed here illuminates where the bodies are buried. It will bring up every past pain, hurt, and form of self-sabotage you have been avoiding. Aside from triggering this Full Moon also disrupts your sleep either you are exhausted or unable to sleep at all. A Full Moon or Lunar Eclipse landing here also brings drama and arguments at work, know when to disengage.
