Full Moon in Capricorn: Sunday, July 9th @ 12:07 am (EST) A Full Moon in conventional Capricorn in the early hours of July 9th shines a spotlight on career and our sense of home. As the Moon goes full in the hard-working sign of the goat, the sun is still shining in Cancer, the homebody. This Full Moon may expose imbalances between work and play. Capricorn is very disciplined so any changes you make during this Full Moon will have the potential to stick. Use this energy to release and renew your sense of value.

A fiery Full Moon burns with the energy of the truth-seeking centaur. Half man and half horse, the centaur represents our ability to theorize the issues while riding off to battle. This adventurous sign will inspire us to expand our horizons and perhaps travel to unexplored destinations.

The moon turns full in watery Scorpio; however, the moon is not particularly comfortable in this sign of the zodiac. This is due to Scorpio possessing all the things that make us uncomfortable. Scorpio governs those words we whisper instead of speak. Scorpio encourages us to confront those taboo issues so that we may gain an understanding of the other side. This probing, resourceful full moon invites us to dive into the depths and illuminate those things that have been hiding in the dark corners of our mind. Use this full moon to dust out the cobwebs and let the light in. www.darkmoonastrology.com

Full Moon in Libra: Tuesday, April 11th @ 2:08 am (EST) This full moon will be at 21 degrees Libra, the cardinal air sign that governs our relationships. This energy is diplomatic, sociable and gracious. A full moon in Libra is a great time to tap into the energy of harmonious balance. Libra is the only sign of the zodiac that is not represented by a person or animal. The scales of balance remind us that moderation is key. This full moon is a good time to release things that are throwing off the scales in either direction. Why are we feeling this full moon in Libra stronger than others? This is the first time in twelve years that we have had the full moon in Libra conjunct Jupiter in Libra. Jupiter inflates everything it touches so take advantage of this magnified Libra energy.

Virgo is mutable earth, ever-changing matter. This energy is analytical, detailed and organized. There is an independent spirit that keeps Virgos self-sufficient and self-contained. www.darkmoonastrology.com

Full Moon Eclipse in Leo, Friday, February 10th at 7:32 pm (EST). This Friday we have a full moon lunar eclipse in the fixed fiery sign of Leo the lion. This sign is often associated with the sun, the color gold and the heart. Leo energy is magnetic, generous and authoritative. Leos, like lions, are thought to be strong leaders. They generally have a regal quality to them, and possess a noble manner. This is a rather creative position of the Moon. Moon in Leo energy encourages us to create and entertain.

Cancer Full Moon: Thursday. Jan 12, 2017, 6:34 am EST. The Cancer full moon can bring up emotions surrounding family, home and loved ones. Feelings of insecurities may rise to the surface. Cancer is the healer of the zodiac, and Cancer heals through feeling. We must first first get through the tough shell of the crab.

The moon goes full at 22 degrees Gemini in the 12th house of dreams and the unconscious mind. The moon opposes the sun in Sagittarius in the 6th house of physical health. This may be a good time to try to strike a balance between body and mind.

Full Moon in Taurus, Monday, November 14, 2016 at 8:52 a.m. (EST) Exalted = a state of extreme happiness On Monday morning the moon is exalted when it turns full in the second decan of Taurus. This fixed, earthy energy is ambitious, curious and extremely persuasive. Taurus enjoys things that stimulate the senses. Use this energy to release something tangible and let yourself be inspired by Mother Nature. www.darkmoonastrology.com

This month’s full moon is in the very first sign of the zodiac, the cardinal fire of Aries. The archetype associated with Aries is the warrior. Mars, often referred to as the planet of war, governs it. Harness the energy of this full moon to ignite something new. The Aries energy is driven, action-oriented and a bit fearless. Aries is so young it hasn’t yet burned its hand on the stove. It harbors a childlike innocence and the belief that all things are possible. It represents the start of something new. At 23 degrees of Aries this full moon is represented by the Sabian image of, “the gate to the garden of all fulfilled desires.”

On Friday afternoon a lunar eclipse will accompany this month’s full moon. The intensified moon will become full in the watery, mutable sign of Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac. This position of the zodiac, coupled with the eclipse, suggests an ending. In the late degrees of Pisces the moon falls in the third decan, depicted by a cup of blood. This imagery is meant to describe the sacrifice that one makes for what they believe in.

This full moon will shine at 25 degree of Aquarius. The decans split the thirty degrees of a sign into three slices and each piece is then assigned an image. This month’s 20-30 degree slice is represented by a knot. Imagine a thick rope tangled into a complicated knot. This is what this full moon will shine a light on, whatever is tangled and stuck in our lives.

The full moon in earthy Capricorn encourages us to be practical and productive. The animal associated with Capricorn is a goat. In ancient times it was depicted as a sea goat. It was a subterranean sea creature that was evolving into a land creature. It had the body of a goat with a tail attached, a strange mix of serpent and fish. It was so determined to walk on land that one day it just put its hooves on the shore and climbed to the highest bluff. It transitioned by sheer determination. This full moon is a good opportunity for transformation.

Sagittarius on Monday, June 20th @ 7:02 am (EST) This full moon is significant for two reason. One, the moon goes full twelve hours before the summer solstice. And two, this is the second full moon in the fiery sign of Sagittarius, the truth seeker. Visit www.newtownplayers.org for more information on "The Foreigner" - a play I produced!

This month the moon will turn full in the fiery sign of Sagittarius. It is the very early stages of Sagittarius, only 1 degree which means next month’s full moon will also be in the sign of Sagittarius. This double whammy of Sagittarius energy is a great opportunity for us to embrace our inner centaur, half man and half horse. Sagittarius is the truth seeker, the philosopher, the teacher. You may feel inspired to explore unknown environments between now and the next full moon. Try something you’ve never tried before. Sample an exotic cuisine, learn a foreign language or literally travel to a place you’ve never been. Get on the highway and just drive. Experience the butterflies in the stomach when you don’t know your way around. Go with your instincts when you want to stop and eat or when you feel compelled to talk to a stranger. That inner voice will guide you if you actually listen to it.

Scorpio energy is intimate and seductive. This will be a passionate full moon, even fierce in its intensity. For more information on the full moon, visit: www.deerwitch.com To learn more about the stage production of "Murder Among Friends" visit: http://www.newtownplayers.org

Libra Full Moon Eclipse: Wednesday, March 23rd @ 8:01 am (EDT) This March full moon is sometimes called the Worm Moon to represent the earthworms wiggling around after the thaw. With this partial eclipse, only the edge of the Earth’s shadow touches the Moon. We may not even notice the slight dimming of Moonlight but the energy will be high. This full moon eclipse is on the north node challenging us to balance the first house of independence with the seventh house of partnerships. This eclipse may intensify a story that is already underway. Due to the north node intensification, the head of the dragon is devouring the moon (our emotions) and magnifying anything already set in motion. This eclipse is one of magnification and intensification. Libra is an air sign representing energy full of balance and harmony. Libra energy is often depicted by images of the scales, the swords and the blindfold. Similar to the two of swords in the tarot deck which shows a blindfolded woman holding two swords pointed in different directions. There is a decision to be made and this full moon will move things along in one way or another. visit: www.deerwitch.com

Full Moon in Virgo on February 22nd at 1:20 pm EST Virgo energy is mutable meaning its ever changing. Its in the element of earth making it extremely tangible and productive. When the moon turns full in this pragmatic sign we can use the energy to examine something with an analytical, meticulous eye. The Virgo energy encourages us to sort through the details. Like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle spread out on a tabletop, suddenly it will become clear which pieces fit together. Keep in mind the shadow side of this energy may lend itself to obsessive thoughts or behaviors. There is such a thing as over-analysis. Use this energy to scrutinize a situation but take care not to over-analyze. In numerology there is a synergy to the date of this full moon 2/22. The twos are associated with the planet, moon and the day, Monday. It is worth noting for the full moon, on Monday, Feb 22nd. The karmic lesson connected to this number is individual stability. Which is interesting for a full moon in Virgo who is often depicted as the virgin. A woman who never marries needed to become self sufficient by necessity. The archetypes associated with this energy include the High Priestess and the Hermit, those who observe and offer solutions. The moon in Virgo makes us aware of our physical bodies as the sun in Pisces reminds us of our spiritual self. During this full moon we should try to strike a balance between the demands of the mind and the limitations of the body. Take a moment to give gratitude for everything our bodies do for us each day. Fun fact, we have about 50,000 thoughts and 17,000 breaths each day. Use this Virgo energy to focus every single one of them into something constructive. UPDATE: I just wrapped up a 3-week run of the One Act Festival at the Ridgefield Theater Barn and I had a blast.

Leo Full Moon: Sat Jan 23rd at 8:46 pm (EST) This fixed, fiery full moon in Leo becomes exact in the fifth house of creative expression. Leo is proud, playful and intensely individual. Leo energy manifests as the life of the party, the luminous person who walks into a room and lights everything up. They like to be the center of attention and adore being on stage. The lion stirs up drama and all things unexpected. Wants to roar and be heard. A good energy if you like action and excitement. This month's full moon is in the early degrees of Leo and is usually depicted by the spotlight or the mask. Both the mask and the spotlight allow us to focus attention on desirable features and divert attention away from other not-so-pretty qualities. We must embrace the idea that what is happening both and off the stage is equally as important. The stuff that happens in the beam of the spotlight catches our attention. But during this full moon take a peek into the dark corners of the stage and even into the wings to see what's really going on. The power of this full moon will be deeply felt in the realm of theater, politics, psychology and marketing. *** An Evening of One-Acts 2016 Returning for its 6th year, the Ridgefield Theater Barn's popular One-Acts Series will feature original, unpublished works that celebrate life and relationships through an assortment of perspectives. I will be performing as MARIEKE in The Rub -- an interesting piece about two co-workers who realize they are sharing the same dream. Show dates are January 22nd through February 6th. Friday & Saturday evening at 8:pm and a Sunday matinee on January 31st at 2:pm. UPDATE: We opened under the full moon last night but got snowed out tonight. We may be adding a snow date on Thursday, February 4th. Visit the website for more info: http://ridgefieldtheaterbarn.org/pages/special-events.php

Okay, here is my first, proof-of-concept podcast. I was just trying out the software and learned many things. The first being that one must turn off their screen saver otherwise it will stop the recording when the screen saver kicks in. That's why this episode is only about 5 minutes. It's just a sampling really to see if there is any interest. Let me know what you think. Oh, and the best part is I ended the podcast with a cliffhanger (just like my first book!) I end with something like, "the most important thing we should take away from this is..." What I was going to say was "release anything you don't want to take with you into the new year." So enjoy and subscribe and tell all your friends! Official launch planned for the January 2016 full moon. I mentioned a few upcoming events and wanted to provide some links to learn more.
