I am a consulting astrologer hailing from Melbourne, Bunurong country. My passion for astrology began as a youngster who was open to the curiosities of coincidence with a deep need to know why people did the things they did. You can read more about me at my website www.druish.com & book a reading in person or via skype.
We don’t know what we don’t know, and this Sagittarius Full Moon eclipse is a good reminder of that. Seeded with a square to Neptune back when it was a New Moon eclipse in December 2020, it now matures into a Full Moon eclipse with a square to Jupiter.
How much of what we think and know is hyperbolic? What are your trusted sources for truth? Who are you allowing to check your facts?
Sagittarius Full Moon eclipse: May 2021
Sagittarius tends to deliver the truth regardless of emotional investment, and yet the Antiscia points of this Full Moon fall across the hefty Mars-Pluto opposition, suggesting an underlying volatility that expresses with frustration and a splash of emotional manipulation. When is Pluto ever just a splash?
With Saturn already Rx, on its way back to clash with Uranus, and Mercury in its Rx degree, both say we’re going back over the details and the truth can be brought to light…but will you hear it? Maybe it’s too much and you’ll dig your heels into the investment in the dream or ideology. If nothing else this eclipse is, like every moment, a good time to check in with yourself about what you really think, believe and know, without any external influences shaping you. It’s a big call, but what is an eclipse in Sagittarius squaring Jupiter in Pisces without a stretch?
Views into life under the sea. wtf! Another world within our world. Maybe we’ll get to know the sea better through this transit.
wtf
Jupiter is dipping its big toe into Pisces. It’ll be back for the deep dive later. I’m curious to see how the infuence of water expresses as we get this new Air era going.
Rivers. Lakes. Water sources. Wells. Springs. The beach and the bottom of the Ocean.
Our connection with water…the thing that we are 60% comprised of. What vessel shape will we give it?
I’m excited to be sharing more with you this year in ways that don’t involve a dependence on social media and allow for more sincere connection and interaction.
It’It’s called DRU’S MUSE because I love a laugh and together we are the collective, we are the expression of the planets and we are each other’s muse.
It’s kinda hard to believe that Jupiter is at the final 29th degree of Aquarius right now. It seemed like it took EONS to trek through Capricorn last year. Navigating the brambles of the Saturn-Pluto conjunction, Jupiter added enormity to all that was 2020. Breezing right through the entirety of Aquarius in less than 5 months, it’s about to switch gears again and dip its toe into Pisces later today.

Jupiter moving into Pisces will emphasise just how MASSIVE everything is. Collectively we’ve been in pando town for over a year now. Through it we’ve been pushed head first into economic, physical, medical and political changes, and all of that combined now situates us at ideological war with one another. Since when did we have to agree on EVERYTHING to get along? Thanks, Aquarius!
If any sign can bring things back to earth, it’s Taurus. This New Moon is ushering Jupiter back onto home turf, offering us space to ask ‘what’s really going on?’ While we may not get the whole truth, we can be responsible for our own patch of earth and knowing where we stand. Looking each other in the eye, having face to face conversations instead of manic scrolling and reposting, and acknowledging the ways reality and media don’t align takes extra vigilance. If any two things combined know how to blow something out of proportion it’s Jupiter and Pisces…and that particular story will come to a head in 2022.
The Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in Aquarius happened last December. It marked the initiation of a new 200 year cycle of social change which means we’re only in the early days. We are the seeds of this new Air era. Our choices mean something. What we say, share, create and perpetuate will have consequences down the line. Fixed signs are called fixed signs for a reason. What we initiate now will stick.
Did you lose your key in Jarry Parc, Montreal?
I found this key in Jarry Parc on the night of the New Moon. If you lost one, it might be yours! Taurus season, while responsible for the colour and fragrance of flowers is also the other side of the Scorpio coin. The Spring bounty is an assertion of rebirth from decay and loss. This time of year always reminds me of Hekate, the keeper of keys. She was the only one to hear Persephone scream on her way down to the Underworld, and she is always there to greet her when she rises again in Spring (see Saffron Rossi for more).
Keys alert us to liminality. They open up and allow passage through from one thing to another, and today Jupiter is stepping through the threshold of Aquarius into new terrain of Pisces. That means it’s shifting gears for all of us. Watch your dreams this week, both sleep and waking, and look to where Aquarius and Pisces hold ground in your chart to see what’s shifting personally for you. Within this New Moon cycle both Mercury and Saturn will turn Rx, too, so while there is an ushering forward we will have to back track for realignment as we go.
In this New Moon cycle I will be utilising other ways of being connected with you without this 3rd party, Zuck-owned beast. My books open again tomorrow for readings, with limited availability due to studies and other projects, and I will also be creating a newsletter. If you wanna stay connected and swim in my astro insights with me, I will use that space to connect in ways that this platform doesn’t allow. Come hang out!
Taurus Season allows us to pause and reassess our resources, where we place value and what we’re contributing to for long term growth. While it can be rewarding to realign, it also means we have to be honest about where there is lack, where we have sold ourselves short and where our investments have little return.

There has been a surge of backup accounts popping up around this New Moon, reinforcing where we have misplaced our personal and collective potential, reflecting scarcity and a lack of security instead of reliability and trust. Creating a back up account on the very platform that blocked you is like the bank stealing your money and you opening a savings account with the same bank just incase it happens again.
Don’t miss the opportunity to start something new. Collectively we have the power, resources and smarts to create something that works for us, and with us. If the last faux president of the United States can start his own online platform and the new prez can get elected on a “No Malarkey” slogan, surely we can, together, create new ways to connect that don’t require a 3rd party owned and operated by the shallow ethics of Mark Zuckerburg. Surely.
Together we are dreaming our new reality into existence. Each one of us is responsible for our own seeds of potential. If you’d like some personal guidance you can see the readings I offer here, and sign up below to receive my new newsletter next New Moon!
Taurus and Scorpio could be called “the give and take axis.” It’s here we’re confronted with what we’re holding onto and what we’re releasing. Taurus asserts into physical manifestation, produces results and seeks containment for consistency, while Scorpio rules the other end of the life cycle, taking compost and the deceased down into the unseen for death and renewal. This axis is no playground for the faint of heart. It’s intense and persistent.
This Full Moon is Super for a few reasons. A Super Moon occurs when the Moon is physically closer to Earth in its orbit, so we both see and feel it more intensely. This particular Full Moon is called the Pink Moon due to the flowers that bloom this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere. Check out this Pink Moon design by Felix Felgo!

Embedded in this Full Moon is an unpredictable, wild card energy. Since April 2018, Uranus has been plodding through Taurus, slowly destabilising our relationship to security, finances, resources and the planet. What we once relied upon is now being eroded and any weaknesses and vulnerabilities are being exposed. Change is the nemesis of the fixed signs, and right now it’s the only reliable constant we have. Tonight, Uranus fuses with the Sun as part of the light projected onto the Moon; the usual steadiness of Taurus and Scorpio is jolted into erratic bursts of fits and starts, wrapped up in the juxtaposition of deep feelings and emotional detachment.
Throughout 2021, Saturn is adding extra pressure to Uranus. We’re experiencing this as tension between old and new, restriction and freedom, in-person and online connections, to name a few. This is all being amplified under this Full Moon suggesting that something has to give. Where resistance is strong, the force of change is stronger. We’re moving out of old, stable patterns into an unknown new.
The Moon, while bright in fullness, struggles in Scorpio, as does Mars in Cancer who is hosting the Moon overnight. The Moon and Mars mutually receiving each other is not as fortuitous as it might seem. Neither are well equipped to deal with the, dare I say, dyke giving way that usually holds space for the moody, emotional waters that flood through grief. Pluto stationing retrograde only adds powerful potency to that which is unearthed and released from the emotional depths.
There’s a cracking open occurring under this Moon. Plans to let go are often wrapped up in a sentiment of readiness and voluntary release, but the light of this Moon will shine with piercing exactness on where we are kidding ourselves and what needs cleansing. It’s not the sweet smelling roses of Taurus Season past. It’s the thorns that pierce and activate the emotional trenches, and the tension of division that will reveal where we are stuck and resistant, in a tedious rut of sameness.
Taurus season offers renewal. It opens us up to what can flower from compost, what can be reborn after loss. To reap its rewards, however, we need to persevere through the challenges and move with the changes. Any disconnection we have with the Earth is reflective of the disconnection within ourselves. This scattered, sharp and restless Full Moon energy is rewiring us, making sure we’re plugged in to the right places for realignment. Any fears and emotional resentments lying below the surface will release as the dam breaks because we can no longer hold on to anything that is holding us back.

Life in the 2020’s sometimes feels like being squeezed through the eye of a needle. The blessing in it is that we are forced to shed what we can no longer carry. There is so much letting go right now that the recuperation time in between is shorter, catching up is no longer possible & ‘normal’ is simply acknowledging the chaos. It’s a lot. It’s been a lot for a while now.
What death & the fragility of life has shown me is that time doesn’t stop, especially when you really want it to. Life continues to assert itself, even through death.
We’ve just moved through the twice yearly Sun square Pluto cosmic chrysalis & through it have been offered an opportunity to purge. Did you move through something in the last couple of days? Was it kinda intense? Maybe something stirred in the slumbers of your unconscious to be dealt with, or a light bulb needed changing 😉. The Illumination of the Sun can expose what Pluto keeps hidden, so don’t brush the tension off with irritation. Dig in. However you release, now is a good time to offer that to yourself.
2020’s feel like we’re going to hell n back
There is SO MUCH flying around in the collective right now that it’s important we can listen to & trust ourselves, & support each other in making the best choices for ourselves. When we purge from the place of Pluto we’re more equipped for personal power. So, let go & power up!
Covid-19 was officially declared a pandemic under the 2020 Virgo Full Moon
It was under the Virgo Full Moon last year that Covid-19 was officially declared a pandemic. We are all 1 year old since the day the whole world changed…& what a shit show of a year it was!
Last year’s Virgo Full Moon was tightly bound to Neptune, blurring any sense of safety, clarity & ability to control the spread of the virus. It depleted our stores in more ways than one, & showed us just how far we are from living the ideals we imagine.
This year is a different beast, not without its own challenges. This Full Moon however is giving us another shot at dreaming the new future into existence. Virgo loves to organise, purify & release, & the liminality of this time favours acts of ritual & preparation. Set something new in motion & let it go.
The Moon is moving away from a trine with Uranus, through the eclipse portal & into a grand trine with Pluto & Mars, all before it reaches Libra! Whatever this watery, mutable Moon brought is only going to gain traction, or reach combustion!
The Pisces-Virgo axis reminds us of the delicate balance between control & leaning in to the flow of trust. How much control do you really have? Trying to force things can sometimes clog the pipes, so do the work set if free & step back. Easy right?! Said no Virgo ever.
On this day as Mercury stations direct to resume forward motion again, the cyclical nature of life is reinforced. Capitalism encourages us to be in a constant state of Summer, mass producing shit we don’t need, posting just to keep up with an algorithm, fuelled by an inferiority complex that the next person will do it if we don’t. It’s a lie.
Mercury retrograde through the fixed signs activates intergenerational dynamics
In the spirit of acknowledging the cyclical rhythm of life and its events, I’ve been watching Mercury Rx through fixed signs. It seems to activate the tensions between Boomers and Millennials who both have a major portion of those populations with Pluto in fixed signs Leo and Scorpio. The phrase “OK Boomer” has been around for a while, but it only really took off in November, 2019 when Mercury traced its way back through Scorpio, activating the generational ties that bind. I wrote a lot about it at the time and the theory still sticks. Embedded in this Mercury Rx cycle we are emerging from is the tense Saturn-Uranus square that is also occurring across fixed signs.
There’s a LOT of change transpiring right now, and fixed signs don’t like to be hurried. As we evolve together into a new era it will require conscious effort cross-generationally to offer enough space to grow and deliver information in a way that can be received. Generating our (air) ideologies in these social media platforms has the potential to homogenise critical thinking and create fear in asking questions. Language is one of the main vehicles of this new era and while it’s currently being funnelled through the harsh critique of Saturn we also have the Jupiterian opportunity to learn and grow, and not hide our bigotry behind the notion of free speech.
It’s tense right now. There’s no escaping that. The old guard is being challenged and it’s coming down. That applies to everyone, however old or young. Saturn and Uranus always bring the possibility of throwing the baby out with the bathwater, therefore, it’s each of our responsibility to check where we hold resistance to change. If this Aquarius era is a group effort and no one is left behind, nurturing our shared humanity is surely worth developing over consumption and competition.

As Saturn & Uranus battle it out, the old guard is being challenged by the new front, illuminating limits & points of resistance.
Can we thank Mercury for adding Merc Perk Gold like this to the mix at a much needed time?
* I’M NOT A CAT! * I CAN…I CAN SEE THAT.
CAN YOU THO!?

Schitt’s Creek came of age in 2020 after its release in 2015. Since today, January 13th, 2021, is Schitt’s Creek’s 6th birthday, I wanted to offer something back as a thank you birthday present for a show that buoyed many of us through difficult times.
Read all THREE PARTS with the links below:
In Part 1 of this three part series, I take a deep dive into the astrology of 2020. I explore the treacherous terrain of the Saturn – Pluto cycle that cast a long shadow over the year.
In Part 2 I unpack, layer by layer, how the astrology of both Dan and Eugene Levy is reiterated through a daisy chain of astrological connections, linking Levy family patterns to Schitt’s Creek and the unforgettable year that was 2020.
In Part 3 I look at the astrology of Schitt’s Creek and how it suggests it was destined to be the healing balm we didn’t know we needed. The connections from beginning to end are uncanny.
So, pull up a booth at the Cafe Tropical in Schitt’s Creek and think of this as a read through the oversized menu where you get to feast on all the astrology behind Schitt’s Creek being as great as it was.
