Celestia Astrology - Translating the Stars

If you are looking for an embodied way to work with astrology, this may be for you. If astrology has ever caused you anxiety or has started to feel like a reassurance-seeking practice, this video offers a calmer way to work with the Moon. I explain my Lunar Decan Walk with Astro Mindfulness, which uses the lunation as an inspiration and symbolic container for attention. This helps you settle your nervous system by working with your breath and build self-trust without dependency, using reflective questions. Astro-mindfulness is a practice that combines astrology and mindfulness to reduce anxiety, enhance self-trust, and embody astrological insights. I share practical techniques, explore the significance of lunar decans, and explain how to integrate these practices into daily life.Reflection question:Where do you notice astrology turning into overchecking for you: decisions, relationships, work, or your body?Full Moon Lunar Decan Walk:YouTube playlistOn Substack: browse the tag: Lunar Decan Walk Astro MindfulnessThe episodes have been created to be timeless.

This Full Moon asks a simple question: it is asking you to take a fresh look at where Libra falls in your chart and what area of life it represents:Is what I am bound to still true for me?This is important now as this part of your chart, and life, was disrupted and permanently shifted by eclipses in 2023 and 2024 and now has the transits of Neptune and Saturn and a procession of our personal planets through the opposite sign of Aries, looking to cement those changes. This is a culmination of events seeded during those eclipses, so I will help you place this time in the context of your past, present and future. Overview, Let’s Look At…* How can I help you* Journal prompts* Libra: Cardinal Air* What a full moon is* The Cycles of the Moon and Moon Family * Libra II: The Binding Decan* Tarot + Verse* The astrology* And finallyHow can I help youClarity may arrive quickly for you now, events may bring things to a head so the truth is unavoidable in the bright Moonlight. However, knowing what to do with it can take a little longer.I work practically with Lunar cycles. I help you understand what is actually unfolding in your chart with a Moon Family Reading to understand where you are positioned in the unfolding cycles. If this full moon touches any of your placements or angles within 4–14° on the Libra Aries axis, as well as the other cardinal signs, Cancer and Capricorn (which square the full moon, bringing tension), in your chart, you are in an important culmination moment.Inside the Celestia Circle, we follow Moon Family cycles intentionally. This full moon began with a Solar Eclipse in Libra in October 2024. Eclipse Moon Families carry longer-lasting and more significant storylines for us. We track when the seed was planted, the timing of when pressure builds and releases, and when the story reveals its strength. Just upgrade your membership to paid to join us.If something is shifting in your relationships, your commitments, or your sense of direction, you don’t have to hold it all alone. Consider joining Celestia Circle to tune in deeper, in community, with the Moon Families every monthJournal prompts* What has become clear to me about a relationship or agreement since October 2024?* Where am I staying loyal out of habit rather than truth?* What feels balanced? Does anything feel one-sided?* Where do I need to speak honestly, even if it changes things?* What does integrity look like for me now?Libra - cardinal air, moving toward balanceLibra is a cardinal air sign. Libra season arrives at the beginning of the autumn, or fall, in the Northern Hemisphere. This is when the Sun enters at the time of the Autumn Equinox. As well as offering us a key turning point in the Wheel of the Year, it is also a reminder that we need to shed and release and how important that process is in the cycle of life. Libra is represented by the image of the scales, seen as the balance of Justice. Libra brings its thoughts, communication and words to the efforts of keeping that balance. It’s archetype is often seen as the diplomat, the one in a family who is the peace keeper, even when it comes at a cost to their own peace of mind. It is yang in expression, but this is a Venus-ruled sign, so we still see the principle of attraction and a focus on relationships. Libra will be attuned to the energy in a room, will consider how they can help rebalance it, and may feel uncomfortably pulled between choices. Venus is currently empowered in her domicile in Taurus. Venus in Taurus moves slowly, with steadiness and reliability, she knows her worth and her values. Venus in Taurus seeks and luxuriates in the sensual pleasures of life. There is no clear line of sight from Taurus to Libra by traditional aspect, but Venus supports the Full Moon through the principle of Like Engerding. Libra’s exalted ruler, Saturn, is in Aries, in fall or detriment, a place of discomfort, where Saturn must rely on non-conventional skills to navigate it’s way in unfamiliar territory. Saturn is opposing the Full Moon creating tension. In Aries, a fire sign, things can move quickly and instinctively. This may create a tension which may feel like seeking clarity, but not having the full picture yet, feeling uncertain how to hold the commitment we desire, or meet the responsibility and our need for autonomy. What a Full Moon isFull Moons bring our earthly concerns to a form of culmination or visibility. They reveal what has been growing since the New Moon and ask for recognition, response, or release. This is a peak in the lunation cycle where awareness ripens, and something reaches a state of completion or clarity.In lived experience, Full Moons may often feel emotionally heightened. They illuminate dynamics we can no longer ignore or postpone. In Libra, that illumination shines in the realm of thoughts, relating to others, navigating relationships and maintaining balance and fairness. We see the Moon shining brightly in the sky from our perspective on Earth, as it is o

This New Moon asks you one clear question:What are you truly willing to give your whole heart to, and is it worthy of your devotion?Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac. It is where the dark part of the year symbolically surrenders to the return of the light. Seasonally, we prepare for Spring and the return of longer and lighter days. By the time the Sun reaches these final degrees, something in the cycle of experience has run its course. Before Aries ignites the next beginning, Pisces asks us to soften, release control, and listen for what the heart still longs for.This New Moon appears in the last decan of Pisces, a place where devotion, sacrifice, and endings weave together.Overview Let’s Look At…* Journal prompts and ritual* Pisces - Mutable Waters and Shifting Tides* The nature of New Moons* The Pisces Moon Family cycle (2026–2028)* The Decan of Pisces III — The Bowl of Blood* Tarot: Ten of Cups & Verse from T Susan Chang* The astrology of this lunation* Integration guidance* And finallyHow Can I Support You?Inside Celestia Circle, we follow look at the month’s lunations through the lens of the Moon Family cycles. I support you in seeing how each lunation becomes part of a living story rather than an isolated event.If this New Moon touches important placements in your chart, it may mark the beginning of a deeply personal two-year journey. Together, we explore how these cycles unfold in real time, so the symbolism of the sky becomes something you can live and work with.Journal PromptsBefore analysing the astrology, you may wish to take a moment to pause and reflect on these prompts, or journal on your own observations on what is arriving and leaving your life at this time. * Where in my life am I being asked to give more of my heart?* What dream or calling continues to return, even when it feels uncertain?* Where might I be sacrificing my energy for something that cannot truly receive it?* What would devotion look like if it were aligned with my deepest values?* What kind of emotional fulfilment do I want to cultivate over the next two years?Pisces speaks quietly, symbolically, and mystically. The answers may often arrive through feeling rather than logic. It is worth spending some time, meditating or sitting with these themes to see how they show up in your life now. A Simple New Moon Ritual SuggestionNew Moons mark the planting of seeds. In Pisces, the ritual is gentle and flowing, the best time to do this is a few days after the New Moon, as the Moon begins to wax and gain light once more. Sit somewhere calm and quiet and light a candle. If possible, place a bowl of water next to the candle to symbolise the element of Pisces or go outdoors to sit near a body of water. Write down three things:* A dream or vision you wish to nurture* One offering you are willing to make in service of that dream* One boundary that will protect your energy as you pursue itYour journal notes will have helped you prepare for this, but see what also surfaces when you sit with the intent to perform the ritual. Fold the paper and dip one folded edge in the water to seal your intention. Keep it somewhere safe, maybe mark the Pisces sign glyph on the outside and the date for future reference.Pisces – Mutable Waters and Shifting TidesPisces is a water sign, receptive, fluid, and deeply connected to the imaginal, liminal, mystical and spiritual worlds. Its mutable nature makes it adaptable, porous, and gives it an in-between nature as it sits at the end of the zodiac. A place of release, renewal and rebirth before the return of the Sun when we reach Aries and the zodiac begins anew. It has the ability to dissolve boundaries and move between realms. Pisces is ruled by Jupiter, the optimistic planet that seeks meaning and faith, while Venus is exalted in Pisces, bringing artistic qualities, beauty, compassion, and a longing for transcendence. Its yin or feminine quality pulls those with Pisces placements inward, softening, reflecting, embracing, and listening.What a New Moon RepresentsA New Moon occurs when the Moon joins the Sun in the same part of the zodiac. The sky is dark, it is holding onto its secrets in the shadows, and a new lunar cycle begins quietly beneath the surface.This New Moon will form at 28° Pisces, within the final degrees of the zodiac. These are liminal degrees, where endings and beginnings can merge and blur together. Saturn and Neptune lingered here as they did their long dance before finally diving from the waters of Pisces into the fires of Aries. Something is dissolving so that something new can now take shape.If you have planets near these degrees, you’ll feel this cycle unfolding in deeply personal ways. Pisces lunations often stir dreams, creativity, sacrifice, and spiritual longings. Moon Family: Past, Present and Future We can observe multiple lunar cycles at once. This Pisces Moon is the beginning of the 28-day lunar month as well as the 6-month cycle between a New Moon and Full Moon in the same si
