We have recently seen the New Moon’s importance at the level of the archetypical energies it represents, I will detail here the different positions in houses where it can be during the year and which constitute the evolution of our personal zodiac, valuing different areas of our life (even axes), making them aware, allowing a dynamic, a renewal, an evolution.
Important part of the cycle, the full moon follows the New Moon, it represents a highlighting, a culmination, a form of revelation, of fulfilment, emotions are more sensitive, I will study the axis (even if in fact obviously it can be shifted, dissociated).
If the new moon takes on a “personal”, individual meaning, the full moon is more social, public, what has sprouted here must find a recognition from others, from the world, an approval, energies are more easily projected on others.
If the new moon corresponds to an explosion of directional energy, the full moon represents the apogee of this direction, where these energies will blossom and be able to radiate.
In a way, the full moon also represents a moment of objectivity, the lunar cycle must take a turn that will bring the lunar energies back to the Sun, so we need some kind of “validation” in this axis, to confirm what is felt and initiated.
The full moon can have an important part of instability in this respect, the energy blazes -with more frequent emotional peaks, a cyclothymic aspect- but can also consume itself more quickly, scatter, diffuse, disseminate.
What is therefore important at this stage, it still remains to accomplish the 3rd quarter of the lunation which is such an extremely sensitive phase of the cycle, it will manage precisely the “completion” of these energies, this cycle’s phase corresponds in a way to a “re-focusing”.

New moon in 1st house / Full moon in 7th house
This new moon in 1st House is very important, it symbolically represents the beginning of “your astrological year”, the beginning of your personal zodiac. As such it can be considered as the most dynamic, the most useful to start new projects, to recreate yourself, to open a new page in your personal quest.
It can allow you to review your appearance, to work on yourself, both physically in relation to what you project on the world, and also psychologically to reinforce your confidence and to better show your audacity and optimism.
It can be useful in terms of fighting spirit, fighting strength, so you can be more solicited at different levels, you have to try to take advantage of the energy that is released.
This is a period that allows you to plant seeds that will grow throughout the coming year, the fundamental aim being to improve personally, to work on your development, on how to make the most of your assets, to plan the projects to be developed.
This notion of planning can be very important at this stage in order to channel one’s energies in the best possible way, to strategically determine in advance the different times to be exploited in the coming year and also how to do it.
This new moon’s traps can be found in too much impulsivity, renewed nervousness, violence, hence the importance of finding a channel for them, of remaining open to new experiences.
The full moon in 7th House allows a readjustment with the very personal and subjective energies of the previous new moon, we are more interested in the other, we especially need the “alter ego” as a mirror of ourselves to better determine its progress, to send the ball back to us.
The time has come to see the first fallout from the beginning of this new cycle, the first test of social influence, to see the fallout but also the returns, and obviously to adjust accordingly.
If in the new moon phase, we are a little abrupt, in the personal over-affirmation, here on the contrary we can seek association, support, but also confrontation, negotiation, mediation, compromise, are possible elements to allow the dynamic to continue, we seek an implicit approval of what we do.
New moon in 2nd house / Full moon in 8th house
This new moon in 2nd House enhances the material aspect of existence, it highlights the sensory aspects, perceptions, the need to feel safe in one’s environment and to enjoy it.
We need to touch, to do by ourselves, to value what we do, to review what we are attached to, to improve our lives.
There is a very empirical aspect to this period, only what is efficient and productive, tested in the force of things, will be effectively and practically retained for the future.
It can be a useful period to, for example, set a price for one’s work, to renegotiate or revalue it (increase one’s income, earnings, sell something to get a contribution), to develop the full profitability of one’s own system.
It’s also relevant to improve our comfort, as we are starting the cycle and it will last a year, it’s important to plan for the durability and sustainability of things.
Work, money and logistical aspects take center stage, the plans initiated the previous month find here realistic aspects to materialize themselves, a confrontation with reality, we have left the passionate aspects and the audacity of the first fires, here it’s necessary to anchor one’s projects, to budget them, in order to really carry them out.
The full moon in 8th House puts forward everything that relates to social management, the notions of necessary attachment and detachment, what we can have, what we can give, what we can take, what we can lose, and a notion of fatality can be more important.
Here everything that is pooled at the couple level is highlighted, as well as the money that one can receive from the other or taxes, everything that concerns social debts in the broad sense.
If the new moon has allowed us to establish our value, to revalue it even, here it’s more the other’s value that is underlined, the value we give them and the way we value them. It can be an important expenditure to be made to give ourselves the means to do what we want to do and here we “give” money to the other in exchange for what we need to succeed in the continuation of our operations…
Or, we need the other one to “validate” our budget, it can be the banker or help from the government…
New moon in 3rd house / Full moon in 9th house
This new moon in 3rd House emphasizes the need for exteriorization, exchange (trade), learning (logic, rationality), energies are very social, sociable, it can allow meetings or interesting contacts, original, friendly, discoveries of novelties, places, curiosity is exacerbated.
It can be useful to write, to materialize one’s ideas on paper, to plan, to manage the small logistics of daily life (including the administrative side), to transmit one’s know-how, one’s intelligence, method, or concepts.
The relationship with relatives, with siblings, can also be stressed, this can lead to important discussions, one can be more aware of differences and animosities for example, depending on the different aspects of tension that the new moon may receive.
The full moon in 9th House requires us to be open to more abstract, philosophical, metaphysical forces, it allows us to gain height, to put things into perspective. The previous new moon could have been very practical and pragmatic, but things can lack meaning and this full moon asks us to find it, to look at things by defending our convictions, our feelings, our intuition, our faith, instead of simply our logic and the material aspect, even if it means taking risks, trying an adventure, not being reasonable…
New moon in 4th house / Full moon in 10th house
This new moon in 4th House directly underlines our sensitive, emotional parts, they can create a certain need for withdrawal, loneliness, or at least towards things that reassure us, first and foremost in principle our household, family, roots, it’s useful to “receive” at home (notion of receptivity).
The personal unconscious is underlined, the development work on oneself is thus favored, intuition, receptivity, feelings, are more prevalent.
There is the need to reinforce one’s security, especially here at the inner, psychological level, to fight against the different Complexes that one may have, to understand the patterns that animate us and to act on them at the emotional level.
This is not really a dynamic time or a time to project yourself on others, but more to concentrate on what you feel, on your deepest motivations. It’s in a way the first great turning point in the cycle where what may have been initiated at the beginning of your astrological year finds certain brakes, limits or introversion.
From a more material point of view, this can also accompany a move, some works, a business with a family home, for example…
The full moon in 10th House gives more value to a social influence and professional energies, it can allow different exteriorizations, a completion of a work, a recognition, or simply a return to responsibilities, but here the passage is fast and things may not be “hard anchored”, at this stage it will take several months.
However, it’s also time to come out of one’s lair, the previous new moon was rather introspective, here it may be necessary to test things, one’s new feelings in relation to the outside world.
There can be a certain gap between the family and social sphere, one can be solicited on both fronts at the same time and one is obliged to make certain choices, to strike while the iron is hot (maybe even bringing work at home).
Here ambitions will be well valued, professionalism will be appreciated, recognized, as well as a share of wisdom and patience.
New moon in 5th house / Full moon in 11th house
This new moon in 5th House is very dynamic, flamboyant, it requires a great deal of personal radiance, will be useful to enhance a project, or to exacerbate it, to have a renewed creativity, audacity, combativeness.
It’s also a sector that values the emotional aspects, love can be more expressive, lighter. Everything that is leisure, parties, games, speculation, can be realized.
In reality this new moon highlights all your passionate parts, wherever “you burn” at that moment, the 2 luminaries energy together highlights and exacerbates this fire.
The most delicate point of this period is that a certain pride, a vanity can emerge, the other one is used more as an argue than as a real egalitarian partner, in any case it’s necessary to exteriorize as much as possible these powerful forces.
The full moon in 11th House tends to force the valorization of the other one, egocentrism is undermined since here it’s collective energies, associations, altruism, the network, which are valued.
This full moon can be a bit of a social test, one presents to others, one’s project or oneself, to get support, to see the collective function, to give one’s qualities to others.
Friendships are valued by these energies, perhaps your help can be solicited, or yourself, maybe you have spontaneously a part of altruism wanting to express.
New moon in 6th house / Full moon in 12th house
This new moon in 6th House is quite hard-working and routine, we must try to be as useful as possible, to help, to advise others, to perfect our tools, concepts and methods.
Likewise, it can be useful to try to improve one’s health, it can be, for example, good energy to start a new diet, to review one’s nutrition, to take care of little boo-boos.
These are energies which can be quite arid but which are very useful to make a kind of logistic assessment in your astrological year ! This period can allow you to review your efficiency, your productivity, your organization, to work on thankless, administrative and accounting tasks, which are essential to give the maximum afterwards.
The full moon in 12th House materializes a turning point in the cycle being prepared, the solar energies are getting ready to change hemisphere to enter into more social exteriorizations, but for now it’s the need for a review, a new withdrawal.
The new moon in 6th house can be extremely soliciting in terms of energy and it can be difficult to stop, even at the risk of overwork, and this full moon is precisely there to rebalance things, to breathe, to give free rein to one’s intuitions and even to one’s artistic parts.
This energy can allow, for example, a retreat of a few days or hours, favouring contact with nature, with water, with the energies of collective unconscious (dreams can be important during this period).
In some cases, this full moon may coincide with a “revelation”, things from the shadows being brought to light, more or less by force of circumstance and with our consent.
New moon in 7th house / Full moon in 1st house
This new moon in 7th House is very useful to value the social bond, the need for others, it can allow for example different associations, unions, negotiations, conciliations, there is a notion of balance to be found between oneself and others.
The affective partner can take the center stage, whether it’s a matter of taking care of him or her, or whether it’s a new encounter, or even a break-up, depending on the aspects received.
There is a notion of relational triage to operate, all social bonds are brought to light and some may not resist false pretenses.
The downside is that one may be more sensitive to the looks of others under this sky, depend too much on it and act according to it.
The full moon in 1st House can be useful to regain renewed energy, dynamism, combativeness, it can help to launch a project, it enhances the value of audacity and risk taking punctually.
The difficulty here may be to reconcile what one wants personally with what it’s possible to do with others, these two elements are sometimes antagonistic and must be balanced.
Autonomy, freedom and independence require a balance, to succeed in listening more to one’s emotions, as well as to the advice from others, can allow one to move forward in a fair way in relation to one’s fundamental goals.
At the level of your personal zodiac, it’s important to understand that it’s a mid-cycle, so it’s good to be objective on the road traveled and the one that remains to be traveled, here we no longer hold all the cards in our hands, much rests on the other and on the collective…
New moon in 8th house / Full moon in 2nd house
Clearly this new moon in 8th House is not the easiest time of the year, here the light is ordinary focused on an area of Shadow, crisis, destruction, transformation.
This can produce different “upwelling” of psychological or emotional elements to be treated, there is a notion of revelation and sublimation that are possible during this passage, death / rebirth, attachment but also detachment.
From a more material point of view, this can correspond to a valorisation of social management, everything that concerns the goods shared or received from the other one, this can be on the agenda.
These are energies that can be very passionate, that can be translated as much sexually, but also in a more underground, compulsive way, with certain obsessions or manipulations that can take center stage.
The full moon in 2nd House requires a lot of security, a reinforcement, a consolidation, the previous new moon could have been destructive and stirring, here it’s a question of finding comfort, of doing everything to “receive”.
This can be translated for example by the fact of receiving income (a new job or an extra workload), of making a sale, but more fundamentally, it’s necessary to become more aware of one’s value and the value of things, to no longer accept the same things in relation to what may have been raised at the previous new moon, to better define roles.
New moon in 9th house / Full moon in 3rd house
This new moon in 9th House proposes energies of travel, discovery, philosophy, learning, it requires us to get out of ordinary daily life to open up to other logics, other realities that seem foreign to us for the moment.
These energies need wide open spaces, lightness, humor, to break the sclerosing routine and to gain height, to listen to the aspirations of spirit and faith.
This new moon represents a new dynamic in your personal zodiac, a period of your year when once again the divine Fire can accompany you, where you can also have more opportunities and meet for example the right people at the right time.
Consequently it’s necessary to tempt ! The more you are open and receptive to what is going on, the more you will be able to go far and high, as these energies can be quite inflationary when they work well and are well exploited…
The full moon in 3rd House requires precisely to anchor in concrete the different energies that may have been raised in the fortnight, to put them down and make them exploitable in daily life, which is often not an easy task.
The notion of transmission can also be more meaningful, there is a certain need to teach others and the world what we feel and think ! Even if we sometimes proselytize, we are convinced that we are right…
If certain authorizations or documents were missing, this full moon can bring them, it can help to bring to light, to reveal the different riches that could have been discovered during the month, to share them with the other one and also to test them socially.
New moon in 10th house / Full moon in 4th house
This new moon in 10th House allows us to directly underline the social influence, to reach recognition, popularity, and a load of responsibility, during a large part of this lunation.
It’s an important time of the year when, in a way, we can begin to reap socially the fruit of what was planted 9 months earlier. It’s here that everything that has been invested in terms of personal energies, planning, will be able to give something or not if we have made mistakes and if there is an aspect of tension…
This is really a “completion” stage, so it will be complicated at this stage to really change one’s basic objectives, it’s more about management, strategy, piloting, which will make it possible to make the most of these energies.
The work can be particularly demanding, however, and really risks phagocytizing the other sectors of life.
The full moon in 4th House requires a momentary strategic withdrawal phase, you must listen more to your needs and those of your loved ones.
The last few weeks may have been particularly charged and tiring, it’s time to recharge your batteries and take more interest in your interior, in your family.
Once again, you may feel a gap between the social and more intimate parts, but the energies of the period especially ask you to reassure yourself.
Here the moon corresponds a little to “take a step back to see the big picture”, it asks you to go back on its bases, on what is considered solid and fundamental, to be able to continue to advance in the social hemisphere in the remaining months…
New Moon in 11th house / Full Moon in 5th house
This new moon in 11th House emphasizes the social aspect, the “networking”, the friendship, it’s a useful time to work in the associative field, to socialize, to look for support, to make contacts, to make oneself known, to realize any group project.
It can correspond to a form of effervescence in the professional sphere, a necessary agitation to fully reap the fruits of one’s work and even extend them further…
The notion of integration in the collective is important under this sky, here it’s no longer time to play personal side, but more to see what we can do for others and what they can do for us, to increase our freedom and independence in the end.
The full moon in 5th House can help to force a more dominant place in the group, it will be a question of being integrated and socially valued in relation to personal qualities, even if it means standing out from the crowd, playing hard, these energies will be useful.
Your creativity can be presented to the world, and this can be done in a playful, original, offbeat, passionate setting, certainly always with a need for freedom and independence in the background, but with the aim of obtaining the best possible social influence, creating admiring looks, asserting one’s leadership…
New moon in 12th house / Full moon in 6th house
This new moon in 12th House is quite antagonistic since it brings light into a shadow area of your personal zodiac, it’s an energy of assessment, withdrawal, integration, end of cycle, the year is ending now and it’s time to learn the necessary lessons.
They are energies that are useful for introspection, for retirement, for taking a certain break, whether physical, emotional or psychological, in order to find powerful energies for the next cycle, to know as concretely as possible what you want to plant and harvest.
There can be a form of opening on the universal, transcendental, mystical parts, a need for sacrifice as well, to devote oneself to others.
One must beware of extreme self-responsibility, for one can easily have a tendency to carry the whole world on one’s back…
The full moon in 6th House really marks the last straight line of the cycle, it conceals strong energies of planning and foresight, the logistical aspects are particularly valued, and for good reason we feel that the new cycle of lunasions is coming.
There can be a certain inner bubbling, the desire to improve things further (learning from the current cycle), but it can be difficult to externalize it until the Sun crosses the ascendant, which can translate more directly into emotional anxiety, a lot of doubts, hesitations, and a significant risk of suffering various psychosomatic problems…
This full moon requires us to know how to make a clean slate of the past in order to try to start again on the best possible basis during the next cycle, and the new Moon in 1st house will not be long now.
