Moons to watch in 2020
From the blushing hues of pink and blue to the endless challenges of Mercury retrograde, to the rising fire of full moons and the promise of something new, keeping an eye on the night sky can help us stay prepared both for the pleasures and spicy moments to come. The moon has long moved our tides and guided us through complex phases of power.
Connecting to (or simply being aware of) lunar rhythms helps us find our own days of power and align with the moods of the universe. It shows us when we should lie down and wait and when we should take the lead. When you work in harmony with the moon's energy, you can smooth the paths and say yes to those much-needed lunar nudges. Here are the moons you need to keep an eye on in the sky in 2020...
Full Moon in Scorpio – May 7
Your dark side may seek to come out as the full moon enters Scorpio. Don't fight it, embrace it. There is no light without shadow. While the initial phase may feel intense and the themes of transformation ebb, remember to let these rays of light shine on you.
New Moon in Gemini – May 22
The social butterfly zodiac is about to take its turn across the midnight sky with the new moon in Gemini. It's time to step out of your social side, connect with those you love, and let late-night conversations fill your soul.
Full Moon in Capricorn – July 5
It's time to learn to let go of beliefs and behavior patterns that no longer serve you. The eclipse continues to make things a little crazy, but you can be sure that this energy will finally give you the strength to lay down your burdens.
Full Moon in Aquarius – August 3
The last of summer's wines may leave you feeling restless, but rather than turning and lamenting the changing cyclical seasons, why not use that energy to open your mind a little further and push your boundaries of knowledge. This is a great time to let science broaden your horizons.
Full Moon in Pisces – September 1
As Virgo and Pisces align in an unlikely moody marriage, this rare event sees your creativity sparkle and all your dreams suddenly seem well within reach. Now is the time to blend analytical thinking with divine inspiration and really make concrete plans to follow your happiness.
Full Moon in Aries – October 1
After the fall equinox, the Aries full moon blossoms and all those plans you've been putting on hold waiting for the right moment might just find their perfect bit of timing. However, it's important to keep in mind that this moon may be more about intention than results, so be careful.
New Moon in Scorpio – November 15
For you, it's time to dig into your inner world. Turn your gaze inward and let the questions come to the surface. Now is the time to take the path and seek the truth. The road may be treacherous, but your heroes' journey will take you to a place of deep meaning if you let it.
Full Moon in Cancer – December 29
The last full moon of the year reminds us what a year it's been and how we can balance our own feelings and needs with our love and care for others. This is the final balancing act before the turn of the calendar and we prepare to enter it with hearts full of love, grace and trust.
