Virgo Full Moon March 5 2015

The waxing moon becomes full at 14 degrees 50 minutes Virgo March 5 at 10:05 am PST. Something in our life is out of balance and this full moon will help us understand what that is. This full moon has a strong healing vibration with it as it's opposite the sun and Chiron in Pisces. while the moon trines Pluto in Capricorn which will create a needed emotional transformation of some kind around our perception on health matters, especially the collective health of your environment, old sensitivities that you might start to feel that were before difficult to understand and heal. Full moons are about consciousness expansion and emotional illumination to what is out of balance in our life. This creates tension and forces us to release what is not working. Virgo energy will help us get more practical and organized in certain areas of our life if we have been a little too wishy washy. However, there is an opposition within relationships as some people will be extra sensitive and not wanting to deal with anything too real, challenging or harsh, escaping the hardwork and any confrontation, avoiding the reality of certain circumstances that are needing to be dealt with. At the same time others can play the role of the reality checker, being over critical, too focused on the practical and unwilling to be sympathetic and compassionate to the other's feelings. So blending this polarity will help maintain more harmony within your relationships.

On a personal level this opposition is playing out within you as well, so observe which polarity you are gravitating towards and then apply more of the opposite (Pisces/Virgo) for better balance. It will be beneficial if you are willing to feel some of the old wounds in you that might be ready to be released, but first they must be felt and acknowledged as valid which can feel very uncomfortable. This Virgo full moon wants us to clean up the garbage from our past that energetically keeps us trapped in that past. The trine to Pluto will create circumstances that help us easily transform our feelings and situations into something more healthy. This full moon needs something to change in your daily routine. What is it you are currently giving the most energy to? Is it in balance with the rest of your life? Is it perhaps, too much of something? Are you feeling like you need a better health routine? Six months ago we had a Virgo New Moon which was about setting new intentions for heath, service and daily routines. Now those past intentions should start to manifest as the moon becomes full in the same sign. Perhaps the tension becomes so great it pushes you to make these needed changes. Check your chart for Virgo and see what area of life this is in (house). That's where the cleanup and organization is needed. This could also be about restructuring the core foundation of your life including your working routine; what you do for service out in the world, your health on many different levels, the health of others in your life and the groups of people you work with. Some deep powerful changes should be taking place for most people this next few weeks.

Some revolutionary new beliefs, new perceptions, and new understandings are expanding our consciousness right now as Uranus trines Jupiter opposite Mercury (ruler of this full moon) so be willing to made adjustments to your long held beliefs. The sun and Pluto are actually forming a Yod aspect aka finger of God aspect which is powerful and means some fated adjustments to your beliefs, opinions and faith in self will be taking place with this energy lineup. Healing and self transformation are major themes now. Innovate with alternatives on how you live life, including healing treatments that could be beneficial rather than just relying solely on the modern practical treatments for any given condition you might be experiencing. This includes spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health. Incorporate spirituality, compassion and mysticism into your daily practical health and service routine for best results. Find what is out of balance and bring back order to the other areas of your life you've been neglecting. Be sure to ground and breathe through this stressful month ahead. Honor that full illumination and transformation. Happy Full moon blessings to you all.

The Astrology of Lindsey Buckingham

 Musician, singer and songwriter Lindsey Buckingham was born on October 3, 1949 at 1:53 am in Palo Alto, California. He is best known as the singer and lead guitarist in the group Fleet Wood Mac along with Stevie Nicks. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.

 Lindsey Is A Libra sun, Aquarius moon and Leo Rising with Pluto and Mars. That combo alone would make for a powerful person but Lindsey also has many other unique energy combinations that has led to him having such extraordinary musical and poetic talent.  Lindsey's sun is conjunct retrograde Mercury and Neptune in the beautiful artistic sign of Libra connected to his third house of communication. This makes him a graceful poet and a deep thinker that likes to go back over his work several times redoing, rethinking and making adjustments until it's just right. His Uranus has a light square to his sun giving him a rebellious eccentric edge, especially when it comes to relationship emotions which he can then channel into his creative writing. 

The Rising sign is our mask, projected personalty upon first impressions and our personal style. Leo rising makes Lindsey that star out in front entertaining. He's passionate and performs with heart. The sun rules Leo so that entertainment is being projected through his Libra sun in the 3rd house of communication, short trips, art, beauty and relationships. Lindsey has Mars and Pluto rising which makes him seem very deep, mysterious, passionate, even borderline angry, controlling, manipulative, sexual as both Pluto and Mars are associated with the sign Scorpio but when expressed through the sign Leo creates drama, flamboyant expressions of intensity and passion giving him the power of magnetism drawing others in easily with his strong passionate intense theatrics. Lindsey would indeed be a very angry man if not for this creative musical outlet. 

With his Saturn in Virgo 2nd house Lindsey might have a deep fear of poverty making him frugal or reserved in spending, always making sure he has plenty of resources and also feeling too critical about his work and being a perfectionist which he values a lot. 

Aquarius moon at the critical degree of 29 in his 7th house throws a curve ball into the mix. Emotionally Lindsey feels cool and detached, graceful and diplomatic. He can understand feelings from a detached intro, intellectual perspective yet still has a lot of inner tension that creates strong emotions, especially in love. He might feel this urgency to maintain that chillness and not get carried away by the turbulent drama he unconsciously attracts. He might also have a strong emotional need to be around friends or other people feeling most comfortable within group context. Lindsey has his Venus in the 4th house of Scorpio which means his romantic relationships have a very Scorpionic theme to them; deep, passionate, controlling, jealous, possessive, intense, emotional and transformative. He likes loyalty, all or nothing but might have difficulties once these relationships have passed the initial sexual excitement phases and the need for deeper emotional intimacy and nurturing creates tension within his detached Aquarius moon environment. It's possible Lindsey didn't get the deep emotional nurturing he needed as a baby causing this area of life to be confusing and a challenge. He can have women get really pissed and seek revenge based on their Scorpio vibe disliking betrayal. 

By progression Lindsey's energy has really changed so stay tuned for part two - his progressed chart!

Sun square Saturn Feb 23 2015

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend with the Venus and Mars connection even if Saturday was a little turbulent. Monday morning looks a tad rough too as the sun squares Saturn and the moon squares Mercury while the background tension with Uranus square Pluto builds. I'll try and sum up the conflict: This is a symbolic need to incorporate both of these conflicting energies and not polarize one side or the other. On one end the sun in Pisces with Neptune sq Saturn is bringing a lot of energy and attention to dreams and fantasies, unrealistic, illusory perceptions and possibly some oversensitivity and even unhealthy escapism do to a lack of energetic boundaries. On the other end of this square Saturn in Sagittarius could be reflecting too much criticism for self and others beliefs; Insensitivity, lack of compassion or too authoritative/dogmatic in expressing opinions and beliefs.

Saturn is reflecting the need to get a little more real and practical right now yet we need that Pisces magic and mysticism as well, plus compassion and empathy for everyone we encounter but only to healthy levels where it does not drain you of your energy. With sun square Saturn Monday morning can feel kind of depressing or cynical and moody. It's easy to become the mortyr or feel like a victim in some way so it's important to become conscious of the reasons why if you feel this energy build Monday morning. If so use your will to raise your vibration back up to a healthy balance between maturity, responsibility, perceiving reality clearly vs using your compassion, empathy, imagination and love in a healthy productive way that benefits all involved; meaning don't be too much of a cold hard ass but don't be easily hurt and hypersensitive either. Use your wisdom while still remaining sensitive.

Moon square Mercury is short influence right at same time and means feelings and thoughts will be in conflict, not in sync. Say what you feel, feel what you think and express it maturely. Don't be stubborn for prideful for imaginary reasons. Uranus square Pluto is about revolution to established order and will be peaking this spring. Authority issues could come up Monday but if you act with wisdom, compassion and maturity, directing your efforts into practical creative solutions, then the situation will quickly turn supportive later in the coming days. So if people seem extra cynical and critical on Monday, this is why. Just give them a big hug and be done with it.

enjoy :D

Venus conjunct Mars 2015

Make your plans now, this weekend looks HOT! Venus has finally caught up to Mars, right when they both move into Aries changing relationship dynamics and energizing passion. As i write this Venus and Mars are still in Pisces so relationship energy is very different from what is about to flower. Venus and Mars are symbolic of the lovers, feminine & masculine. This conjunction is initiating a new cycle for the lover's passion. The last time they came together like this was back in April of 2013 so that long cycle is ending and beginning a new this weekend. This means both energies are on the same page and want the same things.

The feminine is the one that might seem more aggressive & enthusiastic than normal this weekend starting around Fri 3:30 pm PST and peaking Saturday night at 9:10 pm PST but call it ripe all weekend. There will be some rebellious and intense energy in place. Venus in this spot wants to chase and play with adventure and excitement but there is some powerful circumstances shaping up for her. She wants what she wants, now, and usually gets it so she might get more than she bargained for, in some way. hey, just sayin...Both him & her will be impatient and want lots of freedom & independence at same time so don't hold on too tight this next few weeks. I'm not going to get into too many more details as i mainly just want to bring your conscious attention to this alignment so you know whats coming and can use it for some good. This is just one energy out of many others in the background so i wish i could say it will go good for all who try to fulfill their desires. However, I can't because the sun is about to square Saturn at same time that these two love birds unite meaning some authority issues and possible restrictive limiting situations causing sexual frustration. Perhaps there will be a new attraction to someone you can't have or just some other passion being initiated this weekend but doesn't necessarily lead to fulfillment. It could though, depending on your own astrology at the time. There is likely going to be some surprises with all this in some way. I'm just trying to warn you now, things are about to get real crazy and wild that could cause some stress and tension yet totally excite the hell out of you at the same time.

This cycle is about taking action on new commitments in regards to values, resources and relationships. It's hard to say if the authority figures in your life or within you will allow you to pursue this new passion if it's not in your best interest even if you want it. However, this energy can be used for creativity and taking responsible creative action on your dreams, and that's the real purpose of this alignment; to have the fire and drive to go after what you desire on any level, but try and use it for the most important things. If you are somewhat mature and responsible about all this when the shocks and surprises come in, then next week those same authority figures that were getting in the way just might allow for some progression on these passions. So just keep that in mind if this weekend gets crazy starting Friday evening. Set new intentions for your most important relationships values and resources. But most importantly for your romantic needs this entire cycle. After Venus moves on she will come back to Mars this August to make some adjustments to what is started this weekend, so they hook up again buit then she moves forward again so the entire cycle is for the next two years which is why i say this is going to be hot! - it doesn't happen everyday and this weekend will set the tone for love and money this next two years as far as passion and drive for your sexuality and or creativity go.

In conclusion: set intentions this weekend. Couples; make love, not war and if no surprise lovers show up for the single people then you can still use this energy for your creative passions! Expect the unexpected Friday and try not to be too rebellious but at same time take the initiative on action that will lead to out-side of the box experiences. Just don't break any laws as you do it ;) Trust me on this one; you can be the person that gets shocked or be the person that shocks....swap out if you want, just don't try and hide. Get in there and play the game of life. Mix it up and have some fun! Life is short, you know.

Good luck!
