Expect more oomph in your Capricorn house over the next few days!
A magnetic filament in the sun’s northern hemisphere erupted on Jan. 5th and it looks like it might deliver a glancing blow to our magnetic field tonight or tomorrow, just in time for the full moon. What does this mean? Some astrologers feel it’s an added boost of energy a la the sign involved. ie Capricorn (where the sun is transiting now).
What kind of space weather are we talking about? CME? Solar Winds? Solar Flares? These are all different energies. The flares are eruptions of hydrogen within the sun that create magnetic disturbances (affecting pipelines, communications, power plants etc). CME’s (coronal mass ejection) are, effectively, very BIG solar flares. Solar Wind is the constant flow of charged particles emanating from the sun in all directions. There are times when the wind is stronger, and the flares higher. We see this mostly as increased aurora as the solar wind hit the Earth’s magnetic field, strange and very beautiful! CME’s can be larger than the sun and yes, that’s what’s hurling our way at the moment.
Because the cycles are predictable, they’re in the realm of the astrological symbol system. We have to remember though, that, as Deepak Chopra recently said in a talk about ‘reality’, objects, events, measurements and facts are modes of human perception, not attributes of the universe. Think of this metaphorically. As above, so below. If there is a CME ‘out there’ then something is happening here, in our own hearts.
The sun represents the inner most Self, our core (heart), individuation and what we are becoming. At times of flares, we can look deep into the source of our ‘light’, into what gives us meaning and purpose, what sustains us. Symbolically we can turn our focus inward as the sun in our solar system brings new light from the depths.
Wherever the full moon is shining in your natal chart, (hints here) look also to the opposite house where Capricorn resides, where we feel ambitious, productive and the urge is towards individuation and autonomy. In contrast, the moon in the Cancer house is where we can feel the need to nurture, to be needed or even emotional dependency, all of which can grow into relationships of mutualism (in biology – two organisms of different species relate in such a way that both benefit).
Just think know thyself and feel compassion for others. That’s it in a nut shell.
Do you all know where this is happening in your charts? I’m in the 5th and 11th – individual creativity and the polarity of group creations. You?
Happy full moon, everyone!

Fascinating, Kim! Thanks for including the info about the sun with the full moon. When you say “the sun’s northern hemisphere erupted on Jan. 5th”, is that Australian time or GMT?
Many blessings,
Nancy
I’m sure you recongnise some of this content! Thank you for the inspiration (and Laura). You both got me thinking!
It’s a USA article so I would say your 5th, not mine. It takes a couple days to get to Earth, so expected on the 7th or 8th, again, USA time zone.
Thanks for dropping in!
Very Cool !
Thanks Kim, *love* all the solar flare info, how apt !
A time to watch what we draw in, as well as repel (magnetics/flares) in addition to the opposition of the luminaries. Thanks so much for this post ! Will give me food for thought during work tommorrow.
A co-inky-dink, I also just checked out Deepak’s book, War of the Worldviews; Science vs. Spirituality. (Sounds like an opposition to me – looking forward to reading it) The Full Moon falls in my 7th, so I am going to be making art !
Happy full moOon ~
Thank you, Gneiss! Deepak’s brilliant. I haven’t read the new book but it’s on my tbr list.
Have a lovely full moon in the 7th! Draconic Uranus there too you know so, surprise!
Hi Kim, Capricorn graces my Third- sounds like a day to dedicate to writing and reflecting. My eldest son and I are going to a Buddhist meditation class for the first time. He’s even giving up his Japanese sword class to go! Thank you for the amazing photo on this post!
Namaste!
Kelly, learning something new is a 3rd house action! And that means Cancer is in the 9th, beliefs, mediation, ceremony . . . perfect! Have a great time!
Hi Kim – My son and I had an amazing time at our outing! wWe heard the Rinpoche talk and then were privileged to chant a set of prayers to speed the purification of departed souls.A beloved lady of the group had died suddenly. In her memory we chanted. Sort of like the Mourner’s Kaddish in our Jewish tradition. A mentor/ role model was also at the event (naturally a woman at this Full Moon). She ran a New Age bookstore Long ago where I bought my first astrology books.More 9th/3rdHouse stuff! Thought you’d like the report:) Namaste – Kelly
Wow..Kim this is great and I LOVE they way you explain it. Whenever I have seen scientists describe solar winds, it is usually how destructive they can be and that we will never know when the earth will go dark…of course, instilling fear in many. Thank you for this beautiful explanation!
My pleasure, Laura. Your question on the GVU call sparked it (though I didn’t see the chat Q’s at the time! Have a wonderful full moon! MWAHS
hi Kim,
I love the write-up and have been very interested in the changes around this full-moon after a preety intensly transforming few months. I have the full moon in my 2nd house conjunct my sun and Moon Opposition moon in the ninth house.
The eclipse has culminated in me FINAALY listening to my inner convictions, souls and hopes and clearing the slate of some controlling doubts and fears, which i believe were stopping me from loving myself and creating my life. In essence i’m now trusting myself to love the life I want and have the conviction to get it (so simple but often difficult). I feel amazingly content and empowered and slightly fearful.
Thanks for your insights.

It’s a powerful time, Gem! I can see how all the action in your second house is helping you get in touch with core values and gain the conviction, as you say, to live them, not other people’s. Do you mean your natal moon is in late Capricorn in the 9th? I can see you broadening your horizons once the inner landscapes are loved and appreciated. Sounds like you are totally on the path.
Thanks for dropping by!
Thanks Kim,
Sorry, my natal moon is in late Sagg in the 8th. Astro.com said they were in opposition today (moon and natal moon) so i assumed this is what was opposite…? Or should i be looking at Capricorn specifically which is in house 8 & 9?
Your totally on the ball with ‘broadening your horizons once the inner landscapes are loved and appreciated’… lovely words and thanks for the encouragement!!

The full moon is too far into Cancer (18 degrees) to be in orb of opposition to your natal moon in the 8th but when you checked, transiting moon was no doubt still in Gemini and making the opposition.
Yes, definitely the expanded vision and horizons!
This full moon is in my 7th house, which has co-incided with my pesky ‘boyfriend’ taking his daughters on holidays for a couple of weeks. Time to think about whether I actually miss him (?) or whether we’ll just continue on living like brother and sister for a while.
My teacher who was hardly an alarmist said that an increase in solar flares often co-incided with increased violence amongst humans, but I think I prefer your positive spin on it, a bright illumination.
7th house full moon is an excellent time to get clear on how you really feel, and what you desire.
Well yes, there is MORE of everything on full moons and flares . . . more contrast as well as more of what we desire. At least, we are more aware of it so it seems like it augments. Basically, whatever we put are attention on, we get more of that.
Like attracts like. It all begins with a thought.
