The Virgo new moon is excat Sept 9 2018 at 11:01 am pdt.
The few days before this new moon, the sun and moon reach an opposition to Neptune which brings awareness about something unhealthy in your life such as an energy drain, addictions, uncertainty, confusion, distractions, or just something unhealthy in your reality that needs to change. Whatever those things are will be exposed allowing for a fresh start for your Virgo area of life.
This new moon makes purification, cleaning up, getting organized, narrowing focus and making practical emprovments easier. This can be on any level, helping you find more efficiently with your everyday life. Focusing on health, diet, exercise, service, etc, eliminating bad habits, addictions, energy drains and so on is all part of this new beginning energy.
The new moon is trine Pluto and sextile Jupiter amplifying the power and intensity. There is a narrowing the focus on the deeper hidden details of things helping you make self emprovments which will also offer a sense of self empowerment, when you make that effort. This new moon can be deep and powerful transformation to how your daily life functions.
This is a new beginning for purification
Venus enters Scorpio square Mars, the nodes and opposing Uranus changing the relationship and money dynamics from this point forward. Relationships face tension conflict and transformation. There is a lot of passion and sexual energy but its not smooth and flowing. Soical conflict is also strong as a change of values, desires and preferences set in. Money and relationships become more private . Fated changes for those things begin lasting until Dec. There will be a new radical influence for Venus stuff with a deep transformation to what you want at this point of your life.
Saturn is now direct. More pressure and stress to meet other people's expectations of us will increase. Your Capricorn area of life is ready for action and improvements.
Making improvements on all levels is big part of this new moon energy.
With Mars at last few minutes of Cap, new military campaigns will begin around the world. Earthquakes and earth events could increases. There's a lot of earth intensity under this influence. Soical conflict will only increase as well.
Over all, this is practical logical analytical narrowed detailed energy that helps bring better efficiency for your life.
Tomorrow Sept 2 is the last quarter moon. It's best to accept how things turn out; what's done is done, there's no going back to redo. These are the results of last few weeks. There is a lot of soical energy with brewing soical conflict, and lots of distractions, challenges, multi tasking, lot of different stimulants that keeps things busy ..so staying light, adapting, being flexible and moving from one thing to the next is needed. Circumstances and events, plans, etc won't be perfect and exactly as planned. Roll with it, don't push too hard. Escape the struggles for a couple days if you can. The more you try and narrow the focus, get details, clean up, organized, figure something out, the more elusive, mysterious and never ending rabbit hole it becomes. Rumors, news information can stoke soical conflict while not being totally true. Don't overtry next couple days, but do put your juggling hat on and multitask, for best results.
For the people born from Oct 1975 thru Dec 1977, you have the alignment of Saturn in Leo square Scorpio Uranus. Saturn did backtrack into Cancer for a bit that first year, so some of you might have Saturn in Cancer, but most will have Leo Saturn square Scorpio Uranus, which is a very karmic difficult alignment to be born with. That alignment was strongest during Oct/Nov 1975, June/July 1976, and Feb thru May of 1977.
I'm bringing this to your attention because this generation has reached a fated cross roads in 2018 and beyond.
Saturn square Uranus
First let me explain the basics of what this birth aspect means for you. You can watch the video i made below about it, or read this.
Saturn is where we have karmic dues to pay. It's where we are not as good, it's our weak spot. We have limitations there, insecurities, inadequacies, fears, etc. We might judge that kind of energy. For you, it's the sign of Leo - the heart, joy, feeling happy, enjoying parties, recreation, children; being expressive and wanting attention, being in the spotlight, being a leader, etc. Having Saturn there, you're not as good at those things, you have to work harder to experience those things and enjoy them. It's just not as easy to feel happy and joyful with Saturn in Leo. That's where you have limitations. You have karmic heart issues, symbolically or literally.
Uranus in Scorpio is stronger because Uranus is exalted there. This is the freak side of you, that's revolutionary, unique and different from tradition. It's the generation that breaks rules of what society deems taboo, including being revolutionary in sexuality, plus in topics of death and the dark side of life, as well as the ways you merge and share your life with others, much different than other generations do.
Having this Saturn square Uranus, is extreme inner tension about these two very different sides of yourself. This is a contradiction that you're working out thru life. You can be very controversial! You are both conservative and liberal. You want tradition, structure, stability, and commitment. And yet, you also want independence, freedom, space and change. These two contradictions are fighting for dominance within you.
This has led to many crisis points and disruptions in your life, including your jobs, relationships and where you live. Things outside of your control just seem to happen every once in awhile, causing revolution and sudden changes for your life.
There is this need to blend both of these sides of self, integrating as one, but that is not easy because they are so different. If you put too much energy on one side, say your Saturn, keeping stability, duty, obligation, commitment, etc, you will start to feel inner tension, restlessness, anxiety; becoming too rebellious, and wanting change...but if you put too much energy in that Uranus side, you'll start to lose support, lose structure, stability and commitment, burning bridges, causing conflicts, you'll start to seem strange and different where others won't want to cooperate with you as much. How can you be independent, free, rebellious and unique; in complete charge of your life while still partnering with others, having respect for authority, healthy level of duty and commitment, with a level of tradition? It's not easy to figure out.
You were meant for a life of constant change to your stability and structure.
2018 the beginning of fated changes once again.
I bring all this up right now because at this point, you have some rare transits activating this birth alignment.
Midlife Crisis
Uranus which has an 84 year cycle, has reached the opposite sign of your birth Uranus. This is the midlife crisis aspect. You're in your 40s now and starting to feel the age. You might be missing the good ol days, noticing big changes in the younger generations, seeing it as their prime, feeling past your own prime, etc. This midlife crisis energy can play out many different ways depending on your chart, but that's the bottom line, is you've reach the second half of your life, and it's time for you to step up to that, letting the past go. This is the point where you start to learn how to balance these contradictions within you.
This Uranus ingress to Taurus is even more critical for you at this point because transit Uranus is not only opposing your birth Uranus, it's also square your birth Saturn! Your Saturn has two Uranus influences now, putting great tension on it. Your life has had so many disruptions and changes outside your control thru the years, that at this point you probably don't want changes anymore. You want that stability, loyalty and commitment. However, your karma is for change, and mixing this combination of energy. This transit will increase tension, restlessness, anxiety and a sense that something is coming.
You have reached a fated cross roads.
Not only do you have rare Uranus midlife crisis transit now, but you also have the Nodes of fate aligning with this birth Saturn Uranus, creating a Grand Cross for you. This is fate that is about to force big changes once again. You know you can feel it coming!
This is even more true because transit Mars is at the South Node point in this Grand Cross, slowing down to stop and station direct, square your Uranus and opposing your Saturn! This means the next few months is a huge change to your life working up. For some, this will be the next couple years, but a lot of you are facing the changes very soon, this fall of 2018 thru 2020.
Trying to fight change and stay put, will only make this transition harder. At this point, you have been around the block a few times. How can you let big changes happen without making it worse than it needs to be? It's about making changes without causing crisis, losing stability and support from others, not burning bridges and being too rebellious and independent. This phase will help you better balance your birth alignment of extreme contradiction, being both conservative and liberal. The more you can make these changes in a slow, controlled, mature way, taking responsibility and not blaming others for issues, the better it will go. If life forces changes on you, it's best to accept those changes and flow with it as fighting them will not be beneficial. This is a turning point in your life to help you get where you want to be, so you can experience more joy and happiness; where you can finally build some long term stability after this final big change, of some kind. This looks to be the biggest of them all, that has long lasting results.
Use that rebel side to fight for changes in your world that are really needed, not just fighting authorities for any reason. Pick your battles wisely. Admit to yourself you are both conservative and progressive, rather than going back and forth from one side to the other, you need a balance in that, at same time. As i said, now that you're older and wiser, you might have figured out how to prevent the crisis and sudden changes, where you are taking on that Saturn side of tradition and stability. However, Uranus is back in the game, to show you you'll always need independence freedom and change on some level, you'll always be a rebel, unique and authentic, not what other people say you should be. It's just a matter of finding mature healthy ways to express that rebel side, without burning down your life and supports, always starting fresh again.
Either way, fated changes are here, and there is no stopping that. Prepare for that change coming. Your intuition is correct, it's time to do something different now! The more you can blend these two different sides of self, the better your circumstances will be!
I hope that was helpful.
I offer custom reports if you need more details on what phase of life you are entering. See my services page for more info on that.
Good luck with this cross roads of destiny at play!
When the moon moves thru Capricorn, there's a need to control emotions, get serious, mature, and display integrity. It's about work. If there is something you know you should be doing, but you're not doing it, this moon will have you feeling anxiety, stress and worry. Get things done and out of the way, you'll feel a lot better, under this Cap moon influence.
Moon is moving thru the heaviest and most intense part of the sky next two days, it's not as easy, and circumstances might be a little rough around the edges. It's only a couple days, this moon influence won't last long. Cap moon, plus square Venus, it's just harder to get your needs met next couple days, in general. If you have Taurus and Virgo energy, it's not as hard.
The full moon on Aug 26 2018 exact 4:56 am PDT is a culmination point, max tension and consciousness expansion to at least one area of your life, that leads to changes and better balance. The full moon is lighting up an area that is usually foggy, dark and unclear. It's bringing attention to things such as the psychological influence behind bad habits, bad diets, drinking too much, drug use, etc, anything that is having negative effect on your life, this moon will bring more awareness about that for better balance. As well, the moon acts as a fog light to the mystic, spiritual and creative sides of your life.
Kite Configuration - Practical Improvements
This moon is connected to awesome Kite configuration with the sun in Virgo, Saturn in Cap and Uranus in Taurus - earth signs. This is a true blessing for the Pisces energy. The moon full will bring awareness to everything associated with Pisces, which is creativity, religions, spirituality, institutions, humanitarian organizations, film industry, intuition, psychic energy, fantasy, metaphysics, etc, etc, helping you get more logical and practical about those types of things. It will be easier to narrow focus, cleaning house so to speak, making logical improvements and innovations to how you function in those Pisces types of ways. You can improve your art work, your film productions, your connection to the divine, and also improve your psychological health, having more awareness to what is normally unconscious, making great changes of improvement in a very practical way, to things that are normally hard to see, and not real clear or practical.
Increase in energetic sensitivities
This Pisces full moon will increase energetic sensitivity, able to feel the energy in your environment, picking up on other peoples thoughts and feelings, which can feel uncomfortable. The earth energy will help you understand where that's coming from, showing you how to create better energetic boundaries, not letting yourself be effected so much by other people's energy.
All the physical senses, and the 6th sense will be heightened and more intense under this moon.
This moon will allow entry into the dream world, the psychic world, fantasies and other dimensions, yet still remain grounded where we won't get lost in the abyss.
Active mind, travel tension.
Mercury moving direct square Jupiter final pass and inconj Neptune has the mind very active, with strong opinions, dramatic, dogmatic and ego driven, but we'll be making adjustments to everything we've been thinking and saying for awhile, as the full moon brings better awareness. Communication, information and travel is still under difficult energy for a bit. Try and put less emphasis and extremes on things you think, communicate and express under this energy
Relationship tension and changes
Full moons are always max tension and opposition in relationships. This one has Venus square Pluto and Mars so will also bring relationships to a changing point, with more awareness of the shadow arrives. These changes could be forced out of your control. A level of power struggles, power plays, getting obsessive and intense is very possible. Sexual energy will be strong, especially as the moon highlights fantasies. Venus square Mars means the lovers are hot but not on same page, sexual tension builds, social and romantic energy is not as cooperative. Strong need for creativity will cause tension if it does not have a practical outlet thru sex or some kind of creativity. This is the beginning of a change and difficult phase for relationships, as Venus gets closer to entering her shadow then goes Rx this fall for a deep transformation process around love, desires and money.
Hope and inspiration
Jupiter trine Neptune, there is hope and inspiration for the future, some kind of outlet of support on some level should be here, this full moon brings more awareness to that, and helps you better understand what's headed for your life next.
Tracking daily simple moon sun astrology can yield more ease and awareness for your practical everyday routines, giving you an advantage over the rest of the world, that pretty much sleep walks thru life, never seeing the hidden signs and directions that are clearly insight. Astrology can be complex, but you can also break it down like this in many different ways.
The sun moon are the most noticeable in the sky, so it makes sense to focus on their relationship the most. These are lights of consciousness. The sun is the father - the outer light, passion, power, focus, and drive. Moon is the mother - the inner night light; the receiver of destiny's will, nurtured into fruition by mid cycle, every single month, symbolic of the wheels of life, always turning. That's one way to look at it, anyway.
I'll give you some tricks on how to use this knowledge to your advantage for your chart and life at the end of this brief simplified explanation of the moon sun cycle.
Sun moon conjunction - seeds of creation
This starts the cycle of life every month. Whatever you're doing in that three day phase is directly shaping your future. These days create the effects of your causes put forth into unstoppable motion, but their final birth, the details and outcome depends on other factors that happen thru that first two weeks of the cycle. 1st Quarter Waxing Square - the moon is half full in the sky
When the moon reaches 90 degrees in front of the sun, that's the 1st Quarter moon Square sun alignment of the cycle. Those few days are not as easy, emotionally, or in your outer circumstances with challenges, having to deal with little annoying things that you would rather not, not having everything go your way as much; feeling, moody, emotional, sensitive, etc. This is the time that mother nature is putting in the heavy nurturing, doing the hard creation work of life. This isn't the time to have doubts, retreat, or indulge laziness. It's do or die time!
Full moon - culmination point - full illumination
When the moon reaches opposite of the sun, it's full moon time. The moon's reflecting the flowering and birthing of intentions put forth thru the last two weeks of creation. Time to harvest that. It's also the point of consciousness expansion, where you might feel emotional tension, or in your outer circumstances. I would imagine giving birth can be hard, tiring and painful. So, it can be that way in this creation birthing sense as well. This is the time of max energy for three days out of the month, before release, and change begins.
3rd Quarter Waning Square
When the moon is behind the sun at right angle a week later, that becomes the last quarter moon square sun phase of the cycle. Like the first quarter, there's not much harmony in feelings and daily life circumstances (which is different for everyone, depending on your birth sun). It's just not going to be the best of days, on average. There's challenges, which could be big or small. This time it's okay to retreat, pushing forward, trying to create in this phase is like swimming upriver. You'll need integration, and acceptance to the consequences of your creations at this point, for good or bad; what's done is done. This is meant for continued time of release, waning consciousness and awareness going within, the dark, healing, recuperating for the next cycle of life.
Finally week later there's no more light, sun moon reach conjunction, sparking off the creation of life once again, cause and effect set in motion.
Tracking your personal moon sun cycle
When we track the moon sun cycle above us all, that's the current reflection of life events birthing and releasing. That's nature's moon sun cycle when she is creating or resting. It's playing out on one dimension in your life/chart, but there's a different pattern playing out for you personally, based on where the current moon is in relation to your birth sun
When transit moon enters a certain sign and reaches the same degree as your natal sun, that's the start of your personal moon cycle every month. That's your personal new moon for the creation of things in your own life. This is why generalized astrology isn't always going to fit how things are for you.
If your sun is in Aries, then every month when the moon is in Aries and reaches the degree of your sun, you get new energy, recharge, new cycle, a building momentum to create things, rather then trying to create when the flow of life is against you. You might not even be aware that creation is taking place on your waxing phase. Like i said, the activity and decisions of those three days on new moon have ripple effects, that make a big difference on what shows up two weeks later, and even up to six months later from your personal new moon every month.
It's best to know the moon sun relationship in your own chart too, but it's not required for this basic tracking. However if your personal 1st quarter moon is same time as a moon trine sun phase in the sky above, then your square will not be as difficult in that cycle. So there's more to all this understanding. I don't want to get complex though for this so i'll keep it basic. Use the general moon sun cycle of nature for everyone in general, in your house (areas of life) where the sun is in transit. When we have a new moon in Virgo. Well, find Virgo in your chart and that will be a place that nature is creating in your life. But on that more practical and personal level, it's good to track your personalized version of creation that you directly affect.
For example: Today and tomorrow the moon is in Sagittarius. This means if you are Sagittarius sun sign, it's your personal new moon! If you are Gemini sun sign, it's your full moon phase! If you are Virgo sun, it's your 1st Quarter square phase of the cycle - not as easy, disharmony, circumstances or feelings not flowing, something requires your attention and effort, you got to push thru. If you are Pisces sun, this is your personal last Quarter moon right now. Again, it's not about pushing thru, acceptance and letting go is best. It's never the best days, things just don't flow as good. Accept that and don't push too hard. Flow with what life sends you on these 2 days of the cycle. Go within. Aug 21/22 2018 In a couple days the moon enters Capricorn. That's sun in Capricorn's personal new moon. If you have sun in Libra, it's your 1st Quarter moon - push thru If you have Cancer sun, those two days will be your full moon phase! If you have Aries sun, it's your last quarter square - acceptance, don't push hard.
See how that works.
So just knowing your sun sign, and what sign the moon up in the sky is in at any given moment, you can know what days to expect challenges and what days will be in harmony, helping you make better choices. Astrologers can't do that for everyone, they can only generalize nature's moon cycle which effects us all differently. It's still useful, but so is tracking your personal cycle. If i have to go to store, or the dmv, or whatever else i dislike. I'm going to do it when there's harmony, not when the moon is square my sun, etc. That will make it unenjoyable, have issues with others, catch every stoplight, get a ticket, etc. Anything like that is more probable under tension. If it's your 1st quarter square, you might have no choice! Personal full moon, things just happen. It's easy to know when those days are, using basic moon sun astrology.
There's many other factors at play as well. You might have three other alignments that add harmony, overriding the moon sun disharmony a bit. But this is all more accurate then using nature's personal moon cycle. Track your personal moon sun cycle for best results!
Right now tho, the moon is waxing in harmony with the sun, in general for everyone. Mother nature is in creation process at the moment. Enjoy!
Here is a locational astrology technique I came up with using houses and dignity based on your natal chart. Every location on earth fits into one of your 12 houses. I use Equal houses for this method. I also use the traditional rulerships. I'm using my own chart and North America as an example, but i can create a map for anywhere in the world.
In your natal chart your planets are either well placed or not so well placed. Using this dignity method I can see which houses are your best, therefore the locations around the world in those houses would be your better areas to live, despite other factors and techniques that can be used for location astrology.
In my natal chart I have Uranus in Exaltation (Scorpio) and accidental dignity because it's place in the 11th house, where it does good. I also have Neptune in accidental dignity because it's in the 12th house, where it does good. Therefore living in my 11th house is where i'm exalted bringing out dignity. Uranus also rules Astrology, so would be great place to have Astrology business.
In my case i have the moon in detriment, because it's in Capricorn. It's harder for me to get what makes me feel emotionally safe and secure, harder to get my needs met; in my case, 2nd house of the material. I need money and resources to stay emotionally stable. Cap moon in detriment there shows i'll have to work much harder than the average person to have those needs met. Living in that house, is a detriment area of the world for me, something i should avoid.
I have a lot of energy in 10th house, so a certain nobility and success in career and public life. But Libra sun is in its Fall, so will only give me so much of that success. Also the sun is Square the moon with challenges. Venus is in her fall, ruling the 10th and 6th houses, making the 6th and 10th houses also in fall. Therefore, it's best to avoid those areas as well.
My chart ruler Jupiter is strong, because it's in Aries, a fire sign, trine my Ascendant in Sag. Therefore those houses wouldn't be too bad, but still not my exaltation.
My best area in North America would be 11th house based on dignity.
Hey guys, get ready for the third and final event of this three part eclipse season that we've been in this summer of 2018. The next one is a partial Solar eclipse at 18 degrees 41 minutes of Leo Aug 11 2018 at 2:57 am PDT.
Karmic seeds planted with long lasting results
This eclipse is about planting karmic seeds of change over the next 6 months that have long lasting results. New opportunities will come into your life. These karmic seeds of destiny are usually planted by unforeseen circumstances of life, outside of your control. Eclipses shake things up, bring surprises, increase nervousness and anxiety; the normal flow of life's energy becomes disrupted. This being North Node eclipse, the shakeups are probably needed to help jolt you out of your stale routine and move you forward on your destiny the next 6 months, even if what life sends you seems hard or "bad". Keep in mind "bad" and "good" are subjective.
Not everyone will face radical changes, it all depends on your chart. Some people will just feel the disruptions on inner level, but the sun is very much about the outer, so don't be surprised if something unexpected happens in your life. If you have your sun or other planets around 18 degrees of Leo, Scorpio, Taurus or Aquarius, the odds increase that this event will be planting karmic seeds of change for at least one area of your life, if not more, with the results being seen within the next 6 months. Find your Leo house (area of life) that's where this change is happening for you on some level, no matter if you have planets there or not.
News, media and information gets amplified
Mercury Rx is square Jupiter with this eclipse and the sun/moon are separating from a Square to Jupiter in Scorpio, which amplifies the energy even more so. This is intense and dramatic energy - big dramatic news, information, thoughts and communication. People will be making a big deal about something that normally wouldn't be such a big deal. It's called being over-dramatic. That's not to say there won't be big events in the world such as these fires, accidents, violence, deaths, etc that warrant feeling serious and dramatic about it, but there could also be some kind of news or information, political or otherwise that normally wouldn't be such a big deal. This square usually has a lot of people coming together in some kind of large emotional response to an event. The events will be bigger than normal because of Jupiter square!
Dramatic events, and the emotional response to them gets amplified
Mercury, moon, sun square Jupiter makes everything feel bigger and so we will see a bigger emotional response because of that, especially in the news, social media, etc. Some opinions will be over-stated, out of proportion to a rational logical view point and response. The response and reactions to everything will be bigger than normal, which could be on any level depending on what events play out. Mercury Rx is quincunx Neptune which could add confusion, uncertainty, not having the facts strait, which plays out in the world and contributing to the over blown response to whatever happens. 100% positive life events will get very serious and dramatic under this influence.
Some couples will have unexpected pregnancy
On a personal level, some couples will be getting it on around the days of this eclipse resulting in unexpected pregnancy. With those karmic seeds being planted in Leo, the sign of children; it would make sense. Plus, the fact that Venus in Libra is trine Mars which is the lovers harmonizing with open outlet for uniting, and add to the fact Venus is square Saturn, which could be the added long lasting responsibility and commitment of what is birthed from this eclipse. So that is one of the many possibilities under this energy - getting knocked up.
Dramatic events/news about kids/children
On a not so happy level other big news events regarding kids could happen, possibly something traumatic that gets a lot of attention with big emotional response.
Misuse of power
Also something regarding the misuse of power could come up, including money issues, sexuality, etc, kind of like the Metoo energy which was created under moon square Jupiter Scorpio amplifying the emotional reaction to it.
Big transformations and adjustments
This eclipse is also inconj to Pluto in Capricorn which is about deep changes, and having to make adjustments to the structures and systems of your life, if this eclipse is aligned with you. An irritating energy of having to deal with outside power and control issues is also possible, or a topic of something destructive causing death somewhere in the world. The gov't might be part of the news with this event.
Relationship changes
With Venus square Saturn, but trine the South Node/Mars and opposite Chiron, relationships could be facing something difficult under this eclipse, or a big change in the works. The relationship energy is changing as Venus enters Libra, her rulership. There will be a desire for being more objective and fair in relationships, but also needing to face big issues that could cause changes.
With that open outlet to the past, it's possible someone from the past comes back into the picture next 6 months, someone that caused pain (chiron) but with the square to Saturn it's a roadblock, perhaps, or brings issues to your current relationship if no one from past shows up. In general all relationships will have a serious influence to deal with. Better discernment is needed, better boundaries are needed; better structure and a plan forward could be some of the issues.
Fine line between pleasure and pain
A fine line between pleasure and pain becomes an influence. A blocking, restrictive energy is possible. Deprivation in love, not getting everything you need and desire, or having opportunity for partnership yet not feeling a desire to pursue it. There could also be forced commitment, duty and obligation in some relationships (such as getting pregnant) forced to stay together or some kind of glue that keeps you together despite hardship. Money issues could also be part of this Venus square Saturn alignment. It could also be a desire for something more serious and long lasting.
Forward progress on your path of destiny
Over all this Leo eclipse wants to push you forward into a better life, into a new direction that has more joy and passion, it's a karmic reset to what your heart desires which leads to changes, but the results of this eclipse might not always look positive at first. For example, let's say someone's house burns down in a wildfire. It might seem bad in the moment but the results could be moving to a better location that brings more joy, or rebuilding and getting a better house than you had before, or changing your destiny in a way that you wouldn't without losing that house. Or, let's say you lose someone tragically, that event could have ripple effects, helping others in a positive way in the future by. God, the universe, whoever is up there knows more than you and you'll need to trust the process even if it's out of your control. Eclipses are wildcard energy, there's a disruption of some kind. The closer you have planets to 18/19 Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius the more likely this eclipse will bring big disruptions and karmic changes to your life, for "good" or "bad".
Trust that you are being led to your destiny next 6 months.
Happy eclipse!

This next Lunar eclipse in Aquarius at 4 degrees 44 minutes is going to be very strong energy! The eclipse is exact at 1:20 pm PDT so won't be visible in the United States but will strongly be felt globally. This will be one of the longest lasting lunar eclipses in this century symbolically offering a long building culmination/ending with fated changes.
If your sun or other planets are at the first 6 degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius then this is going to pack a punch with a strong possibility of life changing events over the next few week thru the next 6 months. However, this is still a fated time for many people even without those personal placements. Find Aquarius and Leo in your chart, that's the area of life getting hit, plus Scorpio and Taurus as well.
The shadow of society is exposed
Full moons are a peak of intensity and emotional energy. When that full moon is eclipse that intensity and emotional energy is amplified and more extreme. The light of the sun reflected off the moon is filtered through the earth's shadow. Aquarius has a lot to do with the community, so in this case the shadow of society and communities/politics will be reflected off the moon.
Eclipse aligned with Mars Rx
This eclipse is strongly aligned with Mars Retrograde, and so this means Mars is extra strong as well, closer to the earth than normal but not acting in a symbolically predictable fashion. At the same time, Uranus is at a right angle to Mars, sun and moon/Nodes T-square adding even more dynamic unusual unexpected energy to this shadow being exposed.
There is both positive and negative meaning to this eclipse. First let me get the negative out of the way before i explain the good part.
Negative possibilities
The fact this eclipse is Aquarius with Mars and the South Node under stress and tension from Uranus and the sun indicates this is not the time to go out on the town and party. It's better to stay indoors and not celebrate under the moon with the earth shadow. It's best to avoid looking at the moon, going to public gatherings, social activity, groups of people and unnecessary travel Friday/Saturday July 27/28. Provoking people in argument can also have unexpected emotional reactions. Some probabilities under this eclipse are weird feelings and emotions, odd circumstances, people freaking out, intensity, agitation, rage and anger, mass shootings, road rage, accidents of all kinds, including group travel from Air, trains, buses, cars, etc, plus other accidents from sharp objects, not paying attention to what you're doing, and so on. Political energy will be at critical level, and it's possible political events could get out of control. Military strikes and other intense situations could manifest from this within a few weeks of the eclipse, but accidents and anger are the biggest possibilities of the negative side, not to mention the continuation of earth changing events, destructive wildfires, etc.
Avoid conflict, let go of the need to control others
If you find yourself in confrontation, it's best to let it go because pushing back can have unexpected consequences with fated results.
Endings, letting go of the past
On other levels, your actions, the need for control, old habits, confront zones, past issues, old patterns, deep resentment, anger, etc etc might need to be released as you find new ways of expressing yourself and doing things. Some relationships including friendships, group affiliations, community and organizations your involved with might be ready for endings, as you feel the pull to move on.
Life at a crossroads, fate is at play
This eclipse is showing great change is on the horizon and not everything will be in your control. A lot of people are at crossroads this summer and the events of this eclipse will force some people to make the changes that they were unable to make on their own until now.
The positive possibilities - New opportunities
On the positive side of interpretation, the sun is moving over the North Node in Leo. This is a call to move towards your Leo area of life, a possible unknown direction outside of your comfort zone, now that a culmination and ending of the old is present. People are being called to follow their heart and a new direction in life that will give more passion, creativity, and joy for being alive, while releasing the past and what's no longer needed. New opportunities will start to show up showing the way forward but will also create emotional intensity and anxiety about having the courage to take that step into the new and unknown, or what seems difficult rather than falling back into old ways.
Mercury Retrograde
These new opportunities will start to show up but at the same time Mercury in Leo starts to go retrograde, which means this new direction forward is a process that needs to unfold over the next few weeks from the eclipse, before all the information about it has arrived. Once the sun moves across Mercury and then we have the final solar eclipse in Leo Aug 11 we'll start to have a good idea of what this new direction is all about and how to proceed. Many long lasting changes will be evident to everyone by this fall. Until then all this is a process which Mercury Rx is part of. If any crazy stuff happens next several weeks it's not because Mercury is retrograde but rather because we are having a super intense eclipse with Mars in Aquarius!
Karmic Adjustments
The sun/North Node will be inconj Saturn indicating the events will require people to make adjustments to their past and current commitments and responsibilities, adapting to change and letting go.
Saturn trine Uranus - the old and new in harmony
The ruler of this eclipse is Saturn Rx in Cap and Uranus in Taurus which are both trine. This shows that the old and the new are in harmony allowing for radical change and innovation to values, structures and systems without total chaos or destruction, but rather a certain level of support and stability while changes take place and you do something new. Reality supports practical level headed changes to your life.
Venus trine Pluto - desire to transform the old and make improvements
Venus in Virgo is trine Pluto in Cap showing that there's a real deep desire for transformation and to make practical improvements to your relationships, routines, systems, structures, habits, health, values, money, diet, and so on, plus the area of life (house) that you have Virgo. There will be outlet to make those needed practical improvements.
As i said, this eclipse is so karmic and fated with a release of the old shadows that are ready to over flow. This is a completion point to something where more balance and harmony can start to be integrated. Unfortunately there will be negative events for some people, or at least what seem to be negative from the limited human perspective, but those events have higher meaning and positive ripple effects with long lasting results that we can't see in the moment. Trust that you are part of a higher plan, let go and flow the best you can with the energy pushing you forward.

Y'all ready for some shake ups? We have a very intense powerful new moon solar eclipse at 20 degrees Cancer exact on July 12 2018 at 7:47 pm PDT.
There will be two more eclipses that are even stronger than this one coming, so this is just the tip of the ice berg for change. However, this is still a very powerful deep intense new moon/eclipse that plants seeds of change leading us all to another step forward on our individual destiny the next 6 months, but is also connected to the next couple years of even greater change, which reaches epic climaxes by the end of 2020.
New moon/eclipse opposing Pluto
The strongest alignment to this new moon eclipse is the sun/moon in Cancer opposing Pluto in Capricorn. Eclipses are wildcard energies that bring surprises with unexpected shakeups, hard to predict how it will unfold, but the fact that it's in Cancer opposing Pluto in Cap suggest home, family and work/public life is where this energy will manifest the strongest, including the structure and systems of your life. Find the houses in your chart that have Capricorn, Cancer, Leo and Aquarius. These areas of life (different for each person) is where the seeds of change are being planted right now.
Safety and security issues are coming to the surface. Intense feelings, memories of the past, fears and worry will increase. Over the next 6 months to 2 years comfort zones will be breached as we step into the unknown taking big strides on the path forward of our destiny, rocking the system, restructuring our lives, and forced to push past fears that hold us back.
Pluto in opposition right now shows that this eclipse new moon has a lot to do with personal power, how it's been given away to others, including family members, bosses, landlords, teachers, banks, the gov't, and anyone else that you see as an authority over you and your life. In some cases you could be the one that has been taking too much power from others. These seeds of change will start to break that power grip so that you can gain more control over your life, helping balance the power dynamic that's been lopsided for too long. There's an opposition between empowerment and disempowerment.
This new moon eclipse will be the seeds of change by eclipsing out certain people from your life the next 6 months, which can be family, friends, coworkers, or whomever is associated with your Cap,Cancer, Leo,Aquarius areas of life. You or they could moving away, change jobs, and even some deaths of loved ones are possible as well, but the loss can happen in other ways too. These events are part of the process that helps restructure your life, but might not feel easy at the time. You'll be forced to deal with something out of your control and comfort level.
The energy begins to stir up intense inner feelings, and outer circumstances that get really dynamic, intense, serious and volatile. This energy is highlighting the shadow that's been festering under the surface for years, not only the shadow of society and the world but the shadow within each of us that we deny. The eclipse can start to bring up the dark side that needs to be purged, or at the very least -accepted and integrated as part of being human. These light dark battles can play out in relationships, being projected back and forth, making someone the bad guy by not wanting to acknowledge our own imperfections, etc. Bad and good is subjective and every one of us has both polarities of light and dark that this new moon eclipse brings out. There can be flashes of new awareness and consciousness expansion, as we are able to see what normally is unconscious or hidden within the self or others. Again, this helps taking back our power that we have been giving away, which helps us restructure our life. These are just some examples of what this energy is all about. It plays out different for each person, depending on your chart. Dealing with power struggles to break yourself free is almost certain, whether that is fighting yourself, others, or both.
Six pointed Star
The good news is, the shake ups and changes are accompanied by two grand trines in place right now, forming a 6 pointed star that opens up outlets and opportunities.
Jupiter Direct
Jupiter is now direct after being retrograde for months. This is very good news for everyone and especially people that have Sagittarius rising, sun or moon. This means those folks can move forward now, albeit slowly as Jupiter moves towards its home sign of Sag by this fall, all thru 2019! Everyone's Sag area of life can start to move forward now and will get a huge boost in 2019.
Water Grand Trine
This new moon eclipse is one side of the Grand water trine with Jupiter and Neptune. This shows that these seeds planted right now, and no matter how challenging the changes taking place are, or how intense things are getting, there's a sense of inspiration for the future that we can feel and have an optimistic view that this is all for a higher reason and meant to be. Indeed, there is some kind of positive open outlet path available to each person, but requires courage and bravery to step into. The opportunity might not even look like the best option in the world, and you might be doubting it which could bring up fears and worry, but at same time, there should be a sense of idealism and inspiration about what's coming next, even if you don't have the full picture yet.
Earth Grand Trine
The other Grand trine is in earth with Venus, Uranus and Saturn. This shows an outlet and opportunity for practical mature changes, being attracted to something new and innovative, and yet, could have something to do with the past as well, and or offers stability and reliability in whatever that is. There is a sense of something new, exciting and radical, yet old and reliable being supported by authority. This could be about the start of changing the structure of your resources, money, relationships, health, diet, routines, work, etc, etc, everything real world and practical that shows true results. This is rare opportunity to take risk and make radical innovations that normally would not be grounded and reliable or supported by reality. This is a great outlet to clean up your home, work, health, life, etc, etc purging and cleansing in practical ways that have long lasting results. This can be on any level depending on your own chart.
Mars Retrograde with South Node
Mars is retrograde in Aquarius next to the South Node making Mars energy even stronger than normal which both Mars and South Node will be T-squared by Uranus in the coming weeks. This means radical fated changes on the way. The need for freedom gets very strong peaking on the next lunar eclipse in two weeks, but lasts for months. It's easier to get agitated, annoyed, aggressive, instigating conflict and challenging anyone that gets in your way of breaking free and doing what you want. There is a sense of having to push hard and break free out of old routines. There might be a choice of taking an easy way out connected to the past or having courage and stepping forward into the unknown, challenging the power and authority in your life. You might be forced to deal with something of the past in order to move forward in the coming months. It might take time to do something before you're truly free which can feel aggravating and frustrating. There might be a break from groups, organizations, friendships and community. Politics will be a source of increased conflict, fighting to break old structures and systems.
Of course all this energy happens in your own life on some level but also happens on the world stage and thru natural earth events and changes too. Shocking new events are likely the next couple months both for the earth and within politics and groups of people, including more public assaults and protests, and possible military/police actions. Values and the financial structures and systems both your own and for the world are also going to fluctuate next 6 months and beyond, and eventually change to something new. With Uranus T square Mars and the Nodes, these events are super karmic resulting in long term consequences, all part of the world changes that climax by the end of 2020.
Anyway, that's about the gist of what i see going on now. More intensity to what we've already been dealing with but these symbolic seeds planted right now are very important and fated that leads to major changes in your Cap, Cancer, Leo and Aquarius areas of life next 6 months and beyond.
Tonight is the Capricorn full moon exact 9:52 pm PDT at 6 degrees, conjunct Saturn.
This brings full illumination to feelings and circumstances. The moon is in detriment in Capricorn and Saturn is one of the most challenging energies in the chart, so this could be reflected by feeling heavy and serious. This is a reality check full moon bringing awareness to limitations, commitments and responsibilities. Some fears, stress and worry could also be highlighted.
As with every full moon, this is a turning point of the lunar cycle where change is needed. You could become of aware of what's out of balance in your life and circumstances. Some general examples could be putting too much time in home life and not enough in public life. Work, money and what it takes to have a better life could be a reflection of this moon but the awareness of that could also highlight TIME and that not everything happens fast, showing you the need to work towards something.
Goals and ambitions will take hard work and TIME to achieve. This is not the energy that supports fluffy feelings, snapping your fingers into the life you want by positive thinking. This moon reflects that getting where you want is a slow process that takes proper planning, strategy and practical action with one step at a time.
More maturity, wisdom, integrity, punctuality and reliability needs to be better balanced in your life and activity. Respect is earned and not given freely.
This full moon will also cross Pluto. Power struggles and opposition in relationships could be highlighted. The power and control dynamic in certain relationships could be out of balance which becomes noticeable under this moon. Issues with authority, both your own and others could come to light. Are you getting the respect you want? Are you being controlled and walked all over, or are you showing those traits to others. Whatever the issue is becomes bright which leads to changes and more balance in your life by taking the necessary action, but might require time to achieve what you feel you're lacking.
Home and family issues could come to light as well. Feelings about what you need to feel more safe and secure in your life could be reflected, but again, requires TIME to make the appropriate changes and won't be easy.
This moon is a turning point with changes for gov't, structures, systems, rules, and regulations on all the different many levels, from the structures and systems of your home and work life, to the local gov't, state and federal levels. Some kind of changes are needed and will begin to manifest.
Some kind of feelings or circumstances need to be transformed but in order to do that, an honest evaluation and a reality check needs to happen. Take off the rose colored glasses and stop over looking what's been wrong or festering under the surface. Stop putting the blame on others. Take responsibility for your life. If you are lacking something and don't have all your needs met, only you can make the necessary changes that will get you where you want to be. Saturn energy will give a sense of responsibility and motivation to see things in a practical light which helps you plan for the future and do the nitty gritty that it takes to get there. One slow step at a time! This time might test you in some way. Karmic lessons are at play.
These are some of the themes of a Capricorn full moon conjunct Saturn and Pluto.
Don't let it get you down. Let it motivate you to go after what you want. Happy full moon!
New moon 22 degrees Gemini exact June 13 2018 12:43 pm PDT.
We get a new lunar cycle starting which offers new energy and different influences for the next 28 days. Gemini is about the intellect, information and communication. This will be important new cycle for how we perceive certain things; what we're thinking and communicating about.
The ruler of Gemini is Mercury which has just moved into the sign Cancer opposing Saturn in Capricorn. This indicates the change of perceptions and thinking might have something to do with the past, family, home, commitments, responsibilities and or obligations. This change of energy brings serious thinking about a few different areas of your life that need attention. There could be important home or family matters that develop over the next couple weeks. Perhaps new information comes in at some point about something in those regards. Sometimes negative communication or conversations happen that causes worry and stress, or you could experience difficult thoughts about something in your past, or in home environment but will also help you change the way you see it. You might find yourself overthinking something causing doubts about your current path, plans, etc. You might have to deal with something coming from authority figures that you would rather not deal with.
Venus is also changing signs into Leo. This shows that relationship energy, social activity and what we find attractive is about to change as well. Add that with the home and family connection, it's possible there will be family social events/gatherings in this cycle that has affect on the future, because the North Node of fate is also in the sign of Leo right now.
A strong desire for having more pleasure, fun and good times will increase but could also cause social events that get dramatic and over the top. Romantic relationships will also get more dramatic. In general the feminine will want more attention and praise in this phase. Pride will be a strong factor as well. Relationship activity, including family relationships will get new opportunities to move forward in some sort of a new way.
Venus is square Uranus in Taurus indicating relationships will be full of surprises and kind of rebellious. Unusual desires, and unexpected events are very likely. Seeing unexpected people including family is possible. Radical social events and issues in personal relationships could cause some mental stress. It can also be exciting with whatever happens being a bit out of the norm and unpredictable. Meeting new people or people from past is strong possibility.
Mercury is sextile Uranus so these events allows the mind to see things from the past in a different perspective, perhaps.
Saturn inconj North Node shows we'll need to make adjustments to the future and adapt to changing circumstances, making necessary changes to current plans and obligations.
Mars is traveling with the South Node in Aquarius, slowing down preparing for retrograde phase by the next full moon at end of month. The pace of life is also slowing down as Mars (action) is hardly moving. There is a releasing of the past in this phase, especially in terms of what you do in groups, organizations, community, friendships and even home and family stuff, as well as past hopes and dreams for the future. There might be a discontent with the action in your life right now causing you to want to change direction. Whatever you have been doing might not fill the void anymore, and you'll need to make changes in order to do something different for your future. Perhaps new information and new thinking comes in with this Gemini cycle. You might have to go and do something before you can totally move forward in new ways. That will become more clear later with the full moon but until then getting stuff done is at a much slower pace. As Mars stations its energy becomes stronger so sexual energy, anger, frustrations and the need for action becomes stronger, depending on person.
As Mars stations in Aquarius with the South Node there could also be significant public social events that makes the news (again). Also going backwards in a sense taking care of some sort of action in order to take new action for the future. This will be an extra long phase of taking care of something in groups, and the community. On world stage, it's the world community dealing with North Korea. Something with that is likely to go back to drawling board before it can totally move forward. Again, all that will peak by the next full moon so things are still moving forward until then, albeit slowly. Public, group violence could get amplified as well during station around full moon end of month.
On personal level the way you've been doing things in the past regarding your Aquarius area of life and community needs to change. Your hopes, dreams and vision for your future may need to change, or you might have to do something unrelated in order to make those visions and hopes a reality. Innovating, updating and stepping outside the box will be necessary unless you want to keep going around in circles with action that gets you no where. If something isn't working, change the way you approach it or do something different!
Neptune is also stationing Retrograde energizing imagination and intuition on the positive side or escapism and illusion on the negative side. Whatever way Neptune transit has been playing out in your life gets amplified as it stations Rx. You could become aware of how Neptune is influencing you the last few months for good or bad. Ocean/water events or weather events could also get amplified with the station.
That's my take on this. Enjoy the change of energy happening but don't let your mind get down or worry about what's out of your control as Mercury opposes Saturn this week.
I still offer custom reports on my services page if you need more details and not just this generalized energy.
Hi folks. I haven't been posting much here. I'm taking the year off before i start a new website for my writing. I'm in the mood for some astro tho, so here's a quick update on the general energy being reflected by the heavens above for anyone interested.
First of all, we're deep into Taurus season, and the Aquarius moon is reaching 3rd Quarter square in fated way. You might have some kind of obstacle or challenge, probably emotionally or about circumstances, related to the material world; something practical, regarding what you want and need.
Perhaps we've been too fix and narrow about something, now we are being challenged to step outside the box and have long term vision/objectives about the situation. Also might be trying to hold on to that buzz energy of the last week when it's time to let it go. There's already been a monthly peek of energy, can't hold onto whatever that was for you, forever. The energy is changing and the world continues to turn. Energy moves through cycles. Some level of acceptance and going within, grinding it out for a while might be required for a bit, before the next highlights arrive. New events are on the way soon!
Venus square Neptune (May 7)
The thing is, the ruler of Taurus (Venus) is currently square Neptune, which will probably make this 3rd Qrt moon not feel so bad. It's easy to see past what you would rather not deal with it. It's a little fishy for communications, relationships, socially and financially. It's one of those times that i'm not going to believe what people are saying and doing right now. They might be confused, they might be telling stories, little white lies, fudging the details, wishful thinking, or just seeing or saying whatever they want. Maybe they don't want to hurt someone, or they don't realize the bs type of energy this is, and under its spell, like everyone else at the moment. It's nothing serious, just one day transit. It's kind of sweet desires and over indulgent which the moon aligns well with today, offering those escapes of delight. However, Mercury is square Pluto so there has been some obsessive thinking, worry, seriousness, intensity, power struggles in communications, or just minor moments of intensity on the mind. With Gem Venus square Neptune It's like saying and doing two different things. This is just temp energy tho, f it, you might as well indulge, no? Or you can display Discipline! haha, i'm just messing with you. Do what you got to do. Art, movies, music, fantasy, indulging in pleasure, choosing both options instead of one - whatever - enjoy. Even though people want hardcore truth right now, Venus square Neptune makes today the day to escape it all, in some sort of a way, no matter how insignificant. The escape only lasts one day/night. Use it while you can. If you're reading this on Tues or after, it's too late, get serious and focused! If you're couscous and creative - great, use Monday for a boost to your artsy side, just careful of confusion in relationships or money matters.
Sun opp Jupiter
Sun opp Jupiter adds to magnifying the Scorpio/Taurus general energy next couple days, including some intensity and strong will. Money stuff might come up. There might be a focus on this years power struggles with people too, including the use and abuse of power. This will manifest in many different ways. Perhaps in the media, "me too type stuff". It can involve sexuality, gender war type stuff, work, power and authority issues that get highlighted with someone in your life that adds perspective, more understanding, knowledge, etc. Basically, you can learn from something significant in your circumstances next couple days; perhaps something that was under the surface, not clear, hidden, a lesson, etc. There might be a focus to integrate some of these lessons of this past year, turning a corner in progress in a sense, perhaps regarding resources, or something. Only caution is making something out to be bigger than it is if any conflicts should arise. The moon is suggesting indulging in that Aquarius chill pill and intellectualize some of those feelings that come up.
Saturn inconjunct North Node
This suggests fated adjustments were needed and karmicly made that affects long term stuff, knowingly or unknowingly. Compromise, adjustments, adapting, thinking of long term goals, plans, and so on. What we want might be very different then the grind, obligations, commitments and so on, doing what you have to now for future gains, in some kind of context. Make those needed adjustments for your future!
Mars square final degrees of Cap, slowing down for station late June
As the moon wanes this next week the energy still gets very intense as Mars in Cap builds square with Mercury and Uranus changing signs. I'm sure more war news arrives, or aggressive events. And in your everyday life, the energy will be trying to change by the Taurus new moon mid month, so some intense effort/struggle/energy of what you're doing is likely. Possible conflicts. This is a very big change of energy coming as Uranus leaves Aries and enters Taurus with Mars square! Uranus is a slow transit that had its way with the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Cap) for years and now the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) get to play with lightning for several years. This is rare. This is big intense financial news coming as well. Big news of natural disasters i would imagine. But that's already starting with Hawaii, etc, and other events are likely too as this energy builds.
The Taurus Revolution and a fight for expanded resources, globally and personally
Your Taurus house (area of life) is facing revolution. This next week might have some instability and or strong wills with earth moving moments, symbolically or otherwise that kicks this energy into gear. That next Taurus new moon is a good time to finally make a commitment to getting what you want for your life, which isnt going to happen by doing the same thing you've already been doing. When it comes to what you want and need that you don't have in the context of materialism, values, resources, safety and security, plus good ol fashion comforts, it's time to burn the old system down and truly go after what you want out of life. You'll feel the push if these energies align with your chart. This is a long process though, this is only the very beginning of a new 7 year phase in some area of your life, depending on your personal chart. We've all been individualized this past 7 years. Now we need to update values, and essential needs, create a new material world.
Sun builds trine to Pluto for a week or so plus is in new moon chart
Sun trine Pluto gives us determination, power and will later this week into second half of month for our objectives. This continues the power and intensity theme that sun opp Jupiter is stirring up with this week's 3rd Q moon. People will start getting more assertive, independent and rebellious, especially as Mercury gets closer to Uranus. Mars thru final degrees of Cap Sq Uranus/Mercury will be pushing to accomplish something, so something new can start. Sun trine Pluto offers that possibility to kick ass and take names. Being more secretive, private and evasive is likely too. More war like conflict as well.
Be careful of possessiveness, obsessiveness, stubbornness, narrow focus, jealousy, misuse of power, manipulation, sexual tension and all that shadow type stuff. Otherwise, looks to be exciting new phase of life that's been a long time coming, with lots of power and strong will available to achieve what we need and want at this point in our life. Earth moving moments are bound to happen this year. This is only the beginning.
A focus on resources seem to be a big part of this weeks energy. Enjoy today's escape if you have the opportunity!
Good luck, enjoy that new moon mid month, and take care.
This full moon is at 11 degrees Virgo exact 4:51 pm PST. This isn't a typical Virgo moon because the sun and moon are strongly aligned with Neptune, which changes the interpretation a bit.
Emotional climax
As always the full moon increases emotional energy; it's a peak in the lunar cycle which shows changes to feelings and circumstances next few days and beyond. More understanding and awareness sets in as consciousness expansion takes place. In this case, gaining practical perspective and breaking through some of your illusions and blind spots because of the strong moon opposite Neptune influence.
Full moon's are always a peak for relationship circumstances as well; changes begin to happen in your relationships as you see past the illusions you've created about yourself and others.
A full moon is about balancing polarities in your life.
With Virgo moon opposite sun/Neptune in Pisces it's suggesting people need greater balance between trusting intuition, senses and feelings vs trusting the mind, being analytical, practical and logical. It's not one or the other, it's about integrating both sides of this polarity for a healthier life and existence. You can indeed use your feelings/intuition AND understanding what's logical and practical with how to proceed forward. The mind is not an enemy when used properly.
This could also be finding greater balance between work and retreat, spirituality vs physical reality, how much you give to others (service) vs how much you take for self; acceptance and faith vs judgmental critical attitude about situations. People need some level of judgment and discernment about plans and goals for the future vs being overly idealistic, vague and dreamy. Your dreams and visions for the future are important but you'll also need to incorporate a practical well planned path to achieve those dreams. At this point there should be some understanding about how far you've come and what's tripping you up on your path.
This full moon will help you perceive where your life has become out of balance so you can let go of something, like unhealthy distractions, escapism, self sacrifices, feelings of victimization, etc so to create a better healthier path down the center, not being ruled by extremes. This moon is reflecting a need to take greater responsibility for your life, understanding that your thoughts, feelings and actions play a critical role for how things turn out, while also having faith and accepting what's out of your control. A level of acceptance in the moment to certain situations is needed but also practical planning and taking small steps to make the necessary changes that your life requires. Also keep in mind that not everything has to be perfect. Perfectionism is an illusion.
This full moon will help you work through recent illusions, confusion and uncertainty. This is also true for your relationships because it's moon sun opposition plus the ruler of this moon is conjunct Venus. Be easy on self and others, no one is perfect!
Virgo wants to narrow your focus, getting practical and organized, cleaning up, purifying your environment, restructuring daily routines, planning for the future, separating fact from fiction, etc. Full moon in Virgo shows a peak to all this along with a peak and change to any recent health circumstances. All this practicality needs a level of inspiration, faith, spirituality, intuition, creativity, compassion and empathy for self and others, in order to obtain a healthier daily routine.
Moon opposite Neptune will sensitize your feelings a bit. Strange mood swings are possible. You might have odd, hard to describe feelings, visions or dreams in some way. You could feel entrapped by your environmental situation, understanding that something needs to change but not sure what. You could gain a new perspective on something/someone you've never had before, which could be breathtaking, beautiful or downright scary. Finding the middle ground
You might feel pulled between doing something that is logical and practical vs a grand dream of something hard to obtain. Remember extremes is what we're trying to avoid. Is there a certain path between those two options that's more reasonable?
This full moon could be a peak to recent building of spiritual, emotional, physical or mental fatigue. We're turning a corner now, for health matters as well, circumstances slowly begin to change over the next two weeks.
There's a pull between wanting to retreat and rest, being messy and disorganized vs working on something, cleaning up and doing what needs to be done. You don't have to do one or the other. It's possible to make time for both these polarities - rest and work.
Relationship realizations
This full moon can bring certain realizations and disillusionment about something, including key relationships so that needed changes can happen between you and others. This includes breaking through the self sabotage and illusions you've created about yourself and other people, perceiving something/someone for what it truly is. You can be aware of this without being critical and judgmental as you perceive yours and others character flaws.
Mercury Venus Jupiter - there's hope and faith to hang on to
Mercury is with Venus in Pisces and both are in easy alignment with Jupiter which is slowing down in Scorpio preparing to station retrograde by March 9. Jupiter going Rx will be a time to go within tapping into your faith and spirituality to get you through difficult times of changes. Going within trusting yourself/faith could create luck for actions. Mercury with Venus could be sweet talk or perceiving what others desire without it being spoken. This energy can also be creative, artistic and or musical. Going within tapping into inspiration through music etc can be healing and get you through while taking care of practical business in your life. This easy flow of energy to Jupiter creates compassion, strong faith, optimism and or spirituality. People could be more generous, caring and sensitive as the Virgo full moon reflects a need to be of service to others. Something could happen that improves your situation, leading to feelings that everything is going to be okay. Having faith that difficult life events happen for a higher reason is likely with this alignment because of all the Pisces and Jupiter energy in place. Trusting what is out of your control, having faith that your situation is for a reason that is leading to something better that's still outside your perception.
Moon square Mars - impulsive and moody
The other big influence for this full moon is Mars in Sagittarius at a difficult angle to both Virgo and Pisces. This creates some level of frustration and agitation. Some folks might feel conflicted about being direct vs passive, speaking your mind vs holding back. Some moody behavior is possible. It's also about feeling the need to act, being quick, impulsive and reckless vs taking things slow, with proper planning, being cautious and reserved. This is dynamic force that requires some sort of challenging action. This full moon allows for us to move forward, taking the next step in life that requires decisiveness, not escaping, avoiding or procrastinating your duty, etc. More honesty, integrity and commitment need to be part of your next step as well, moving past confusion, doubts and uncertainty.
Mars trine Uranus - Innovative action
Mars begins to move into easy alignment with Uranus which allows for outside of the box, innovative activity and solutions to any recent problems, being more assertive and confident in what you do. The difficulty is remaining kind, sensitive and compassionate to others while still showing confidence and leadership, and not being too impulsive or reckless. However, some level of risk and faith might be necessary next couple weeks before we enter an intense hard-work phase taking care of serious business after the next new moon.
Difficult health, wounding and or healing energy peaks next two weeks
Mars in hard alignment with Chiron shows that healing on multiple levels will be necessary next couple weeks, confronting your distractions, illusions and beliefs that have been holding you back.
On the world stage 'storms' literal and metaphorical get intense
On mundane world level, this full moon creates intense storms; a peak to ocean and water events, both on inner level for nations and literal through natural events. Accidents and conflicts peak next two weeks. Disillusionment about what some nations have been hiding is possible, including the truth coming out about topics that have been uncertain in the recent months. Lies and propaganda will be sorted out. In the USA the gun issue will continue to be hot topic of debate causing frustration and anger for some people when all the different groups agendas don't get their way. However, some surprising innovative action will take place but won't necessarily improve the issues. Something about Trump gets intense as Mars aligns with Trump's personal chart the next few days...
Pisces season
Everyone needs to balance introverted contemplation time, releasing negatives, vs times of extroverted direct action that moves you forward on your desired life path, taking care of the work and details that gets you there.
With that said, be sure to allow for rest, inspiration, spirituality, creativity, art, music, compassion, sensitivity, etc while still being responsible to your material life, not escaping through unhealthy means like drugs, drinking, procrastination, distractions, and so on.
