General Energies – The Breath Between Waves
This Full Moon moves through a sky rich in Air and Water — mind and emotion, breath and feeling, reflection and intuition intertwining. Air dominates, bringing clarity, perspective, and conversation; yet Water softens the edges, allowing depth, empathy, and imagination to flow through. The mutable mode governs the moment, inviting flexibility, acceptance, and the art of graceful transition. Nothing is rigid, nothing is final — life is in gentle motion, shaping itself through the rhythm of our awareness. We are asked to breathe deeper, feel wider, and move with the tides of change — to trust that flow is not chaos, but the intelligence of the cosmos moving through us. “The wind carries thought, the water remembers feeling — together, they teach the heart how to move.”
💫 The Values Axis – 2nd & 8th Houses
This Full Moon illuminates the 2nd–8th axis, the bridge between self-worth and shared resources, personal stability and deep transformation. With the Moon in the 8th house (Aries), emotional debts, attachments, and power dynamics rise to the surface for release. Opposite her, the Sun in the 2nd house (Libra) calls us back to inner balance and a values system grounded in integrity, beauty, and fairness. Virgo Rising frames the moment with discernment and humble clarity. The South Node on the Ascendant reveals old habits of over-service, perfectionism, or control; the Moon’s quincunx to the South Node highlights the discomfort of letting go; and the Sun’s quincunx to the North Node points to the growing pains of evolution. Together they describe a subtle but powerful realignment of priorities: not what looks valuable — but what is truly sustaining.
🌺 Venus in Virgo (1st House) — Devotion & Discernment
Venus rises close to the Ascendant in Virgo, expressing love through care, detail, and sincerity. Her sextile to Jupiter softens Virgo’s precision with compassion. Love, under this sky, becomes an act of grace and grounded presence. Venus teaches that attention is devotion — and devotion, when purified of fear, becomes love in motion.
🜂 Mercury in Scorpio (2nd House) — The Alchemy of Thought
Mercury in Scorpio focuses the mind on what truly holds value. Its quincunxes to Neptune and Uranus and square to Pluto act as alchemical fires — transforming perception through contrast. Neptune may blur boundaries; Uranus awakens through sudden insight; Pluto reveals what was hidden beneath the surface. In this tension, the mind learns to distill truth from illusion. Mercury in Scorpio becomes the alchemist of awareness — turning raw emotion into wisdom and speech into power.
🌍 Collective Themes – Shifting Values & Emotional Integrity
Collectively, this Full Moon highlights themes of economy, resources, and shared responsibility. The Sun in Libra seeks fairness in exchange, while the Moon in Aries urges emotional honesty and independence in the way we share. With Virgo rising, accountability and clarity take centre stage. We are collectively redefining worth — not only in material terms, but in integrity, empathy, and purpose. It's a moment of recalibration: where simplicity becomes wealth, and awareness becomes currency.
🌊 Salacia – The Light Beneath the Surface
In the London chart, the Moon moves close to Salacia, goddess of the oceans — the shimmer beneath the surface that longs to be seen. Salacia brings a message of emotional honesty and authentic presence. As she joins the Moon, hidden feelings, forgotten truths, and submerged creativity begin to rise. This alignment is a reminder that what we conceal does not disappear; it transforms quietly until it is ready to be revealed. “Visibility is not about being seen by others — it is about meeting your own truth with clarity and grace.” Through Salacia, this Full Moon becomes a tide of gentle revelation — inviting us to let the inner light find its reflection in the outer world.
🌟 Fixed Stars – Alpheratz & Merga
The Moon’s degree connects to the fixed star Alpheratz in Andromeda — the star of liberation and independence — while the Sun aligns with Merga in Bootes, symbolizing protection and responsibility. Alpheratz speaks of freedom gained through self-awareness; Merga anchors it with care and stewardship. Together, they remind us that freedom has meaning only when held with consciousness.
🪶 Sabian Symbol – 15° Aries
“An Indian weaving a blanket. ”The image evokes patience, skill, and sacred creation. Every thread is an experience, every colour an emotion, woven together through awareness. This symbol mirrors the message of the sky: we are weaving a new pattern — integrating freedom and responsibility into one living fabric. “Every thread carries your frequency. Every choice becomes part of the greater design.”
✨ Heart Message
This Full Moon calls us to become conscious weavers of our destiny —
to rebuild life’s tapestry with care, awareness, and compassion.
Freedom without integrity leads to chaos.
Structure without heart becomes a cage.
But when courage and compassion unite, a new harmony is born.
We are not unravelling the old world — we are reweaving it with awareness.
🌌 As above, so within your heart.

Mythic Notes – The Stories Behind the Stars
Alpheratz
– The Chain of Andromeda
In ancient mythology, Alpheratz (Alpha Andromedae) marks the head of the princess Andromeda, who was chained to a rock by the sea as a sacrifice to appease the gods.
She was later freed by Perseus, symbolizing the soul’s liberation from fear and external control.
In astrology, Alpheratz reflects this story — freedom gained through self-awareness, and the breaking of old patterns that once kept us bound.
It speaks of courage, individuality, and emotional honesty.
Merga
– The Servant’s Hand in Bootes
Merga, a lesser-known star in the constellation Bootes (The Herdsman), derives its name from the Latin merga, meaning “the reaper’s hook” or “the servant’s hand.”
It represents service, humility, and quiet responsibility — the grounding balance to Alpheratz’s quest for freedom.
Where Alpheratz liberates, Merga reminds us that true independence also carries care, awareness, and stewardship for others.
Together, Alpheratz and Merga weave the lesson of this Full Moon:
✨ Freedom without compassion becomes isolation; service without freedom becomes burden. True evolution balances both.
