New Moon in Aries: The Rebirth of Healing

New Moon in Aries: The Rebirth of Healing

Moon conjunct Sun- 3/24/2020 @ 4:28am CDT

The Wind Moon cycle begins with a powerful gust.  The luminaries join with Chiron in Aries at the apex of a T-square with the Lunar Node axis…pooling all of the collective stress toward the Aries ‘I am’ we’re all feeling the pain of.  Chiron’s influence points out the wound as well as the healing path, but the squares to the nodes do make that Collective Wound more prominent and inflamed in this cardinal fire sign.  This is a wound that has been prevalent for over a month already, coinciding with the acceleration of the covid19 pandemic.  But the wound is not the virus.  It would be more accurate, astrologically, to see the virus as an Apple of Discord thrown into the Capricorn planetary party by Eris, who has been squaring that stellium for a while now.  She comes with a strong sense of purpose…and when that purpose is ignored, she has a way of showing us the importance of what we’re neglecting.

But the wound goes much deeper.  As I’ve mentioned before, this is a wound of the Collective Soul which has to do with our identity as a human species on this planet.  In many ways, we humans have a far more destructive viral impact on our world than the current pandemic.  As a whole, we escape this wound far more than we try to heal it.  And, in this moment, when we are faced with the effects of a global health crisis…our own collective wound is illuminated, as well as the healing path.

What we are seeing while so many are confined to their homes now is that the Earth is rejoicing.  It took a drastic change in the way humans go about their usually busy lives to show us how the Earth can heal and recover from our ‘me first’ footprints across the globe.  The question is…when we get through this pandemic together, will we be forever changed in the way we express our collective identity on this Earth?  Or…will we settle back into ‘business as usual’?  For Earth’s sake, all of this ‘we’re all in this together’ that the virus is teaching us must be the call we express loud and clear through AND beyond our current circumstances. 

Wounded as we are…we must face our shadows, overcome the limitations of the mind, surrender our need to control life, and find our true humanity within ourselves before we can awaken to this healing.  It is a uniquely human story, but it is interconnected with all life of this planet.  As is often the case, we sometimes need to be shaken to awaken.

The Luminaries meet in the 5^th degree of Aries, where the Sabian Symbol is ‘a triangle with wings’.  This symbol refers to the capacity for self-transcending.  As Rudhyar points out about this symbol, ‘A new dimension of being is envisioned, mobilizing creative endeavors.’  Chiron is in the next degree of Aries, where the symbol is ‘a square with one of its sides brightly illumined’.  This wound seeks stabilization in order to heal.  The square in the symbol reflects the very squares we’re feeling to this wound right now from the Nodal Axis.  Which side of this T-square is more illuminated in our path ahead, our karmic past (South Node) or our evolving future (North Node)?  With this Aries Stellium at the North Bending between the Lunar Nodes, it would suggest we are to find this stabilization of the Collective Wound through the square to the North Node.  The North Node in Cancer guides us forward with compassionate care and emotional bonding.  It protects us through connecting us to the heart.  It brings us home among family to nurture the changes necessary for our future.  And it amplifies the love and care being displayed by so many doing their best to take care of our needs on the front-lines of this pandemic.

This Aries Illumination is not just about showing us who we have been while we were ignoring this collective wound…it illuminates who we truly are at the heart of our humanity.  It shows us the healing path forward in these accelerated shifts.  Ultimately, we are designed to be stewards of this Earth and in service to the life that grows here.  We are protectors, defenders of this beautiful place.  We are not here to allow the destruction of it for our own temporary gains and misguided comforts and conveniences.  As the Capricorn Council has been warning us for some time now…we have a responsibility to this Earth.  That which is unsustainable is coming to an end one way or another.

You may have had your fill of endings recently, if the lunar orb has any pull on your inner waters. But the closing of one phase opens the fertile earth for the seeds of initiation. Now the Wind Moon begins the lunar springtime, and beginnings are budding all around you. Have the courage to face each new experience head on, trust the universe isn't against you, and lead the way.

Excesses eliminated, unnecessary energies released...it's all you needed to do all along. If you've done any part of that, enjoy the new outlook these life changes are inspiring. If you're still mulling over 'too many' changes...it only takes one to get the ball rolling.  And if you’re panicking in the face of ‘too many’ changes in the world confusing your sense of Self, place your hand on your heart and reconnect to your sense of humanity within. 

Yes, these larger changes are accelerating during this Moon cycle.  Yes, it tends to confuse the direction we need to move toward to make our own personal changes in response.  But you are not alone in this.  We really are all in this together.  Release all the opinions flying around you as well as within, and center yourself with our Earth.  She has been guiding us all along, encouraging more and more of us to connect with her sense of direction.

Healing Art by Gioia Albano

Try not to overwhelm yourself as we make the changes necessary to heal this Collective Wound. Connect with your loved ones, find support.  It could be as simple as making a phone call to someone you are missing during this necessary experience of physical distancing.  Or it could be as wide-reaching as a group of Italian neighbors singing together from their individual balconies in response to the call of humanity’s heart. 

Healing is a cooperative process, after all…not a miracle.  We are all here to help in this healing, whether it is our profession or not.

Saturn in Aquarius: Establishing Innovation for the Collective

'New Man, New Woman' by Alex Gray

Saturn in Aquarius:  Establishing Innovation for the Collective

March 21 to July 1, 2020

December 16, 2020 to March 7, 2023

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world;  indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”  

-Margaret Mead

Tonight, Saturn entered the fixed air sign of Aquarius for an introduction to what will come in December this year and for the next few years after.  Saturn's last ingress into Aquarius was in 1991, so a look back through 1991-1994 can give some clues about important societal structures that will rise from the rubble of what has been crumbling away in the last couple of years. 

Essentially, Saturn in Aquarius inclines forward-thinking innovations in community and technology.  So in the face of our current global pandemic, the inclination of Saturn in Aquarius is a more progressive and community-oriented system that sustains the people through hard times.  Aquarius is a humanitarian influence…and it brings a sense of togetherness that unites the unique qualities of individuals through a shared experience.

When Saturn was last in Aquarius in 1991, Tim Berners-Lee’s invention of the World Wide Web was first distributed outside of CERN and into public use.  This began the acceleration of the Information Age and allowed for human connection to span out across the globe no matter our physical distance.

And speaking of physical distance, that is what many of us are experiencing now as we are advised to either have as little physical contact with others or none at all.  It’s not really social distancing, as we are not as isolated as this phrase suggests, especially because of our use of technology.  Many who were previously working in the same physical space of their fellow co-workers are now working from home…often using the very technological advancements of internet service that have come from the last ingress of Saturn in Aquarius.  We are still able to connect socially but not physically. 

Helpful as that is for many things, Saturn in Aquarius will also be pointing out that not all the technological advancements since the World Wide Web came out really benefit humanity.  It is the Saturnian way to incline a slow down or a definite stop to unsustainable practices within the influence of whatever sign Saturn is in.  Aquarius being linked to both humanity and technology brings up the potentially harmful connection between our bodies and the heightened radio waves of our modern age.  There is much debate about whether the 5g rollout across the world is doing more harm than good.  Interestingly, in this time of a global health crisis many of us only have our tech devices to connect outside of quarantine.  And yet, that heightened electricity so close to our bodies so often may also contribute to a weakening of our body’s natural ability to fight off infection.  It is something to consider that while some may not notice the effects, there are others of us who are much more sensitive to such things.  And Aquarius energy is a ‘we’re all in this together’ influence across the world.

Saturn is applying to a 90 degree square with Uranus in Taurus…which demands some action to alleviate the stress on this body-mind connection.  When the matter of our Earth becomes so electrically stimulated by a bombardment of new waves and frequencies, it puts our systems into a panic mode.  Again, as I’ve mentioned before in previous writings, the alleviating connection we need is that of Mother Earth.  She is the best at transmuting those extra, unwanted energies within us…not just the electric nervousness, anxiety, and panic but also the heavy energies that come along with extended time with little to no contact with others.  This combination of influences requires putting down the tech device more often and letting your body have a break.  If you can, stand barefoot in your yard and ground as often as you can.  If not, take some time to ground and center with meditation and visualization practices…planting that root at the base of your spine down onto the floor and allowing it to energetically extend to the earth below.  Release what is heavy, release what is jarring…allow Mother Earth to ground you and transmute those energies away from our bodies to restore our health and well-being.

Societal response to these structural and systemic shifts happening across the world is what really makes a difference during these Saturn cycles.  Saturn in Aquarius is ultimately a wise and community-oriented influence.  Saturn’s lesson here is that when we, the people, stand up for each other and embrace the humanity within all of us (demanding what is necessary for the whole and challenging what is only for the few)…we can update our systems in very innovative ways. 

Looking back through the history of my own country (the United States), the egalitarian effects of Saturn in Aquarius are remarkable.  When Saturn was in Aquarius during the 60s, the Civil Rights Act was part of that societal response.  When Saturn was in Aquarius during the 30s, FDR’s New Deal began.  And now, we have the progressive opportunity for a Green New Deal…how will we respond to it?

 

From now until the beginning of July, we will get a taste of this Saturn in Aquarius medicine.  Saturn will retrograde back into Capricorn and return to Aquarius again in mid-December…continuing through this sign for another couple of years.  Everything that happens within this shift is best informed by forward-thinking in a ‘WE not ME’ way. 

In this time, may we all do more to help out our brothers and sisters in need.  May we work together now to invent new solutions to the dysfunction of our past systems and structures.  May we look forward into our future and envision a world we improved for our descendants.

Pandemic in the U.S.: Or, How We Learn to Stop Worrying and Feel the Bern

Pandemic in the U.S.:  Or, How We Learn to Stop Worrying and Feel the Bern

(an Astrological view of the U.S. storyline within a Global Health Crisis)

By Felina Lune Kavi

Astrological New Year begins with our Sun’s ingress to Tropical Aries, the March Equinox.  Within a chart cast for that moment, in the capitol city of whatever country you live in, one can divine the themes within the year ahead.  I happen to live in the United States so I am reading the themes for this land, in particular.  However, the particular is just in house location (I am using the Placidus House System).  The planets and aspects are reflected worldwide.

My husband, Michael Kavi, made this for me.

The particular is the first thing I noticed when I cast the Equinox chart for Washington D.C.  The houses are aligned with the natal houses of Bernie Sanders!  With this fortunate alignment of houses, we can see how Bernie leads our country from emergency to emergence.  The following storyline awaits us if we rise together and ‘Feel the Bern’ as a ‘Not Me, Us’ call to action.  There are other storylines available, but I quite like this one.  It’s a healing story, after all.  With White Moon-Chiron on my Taurus Ascendant…I love a good healing story.

How We Rise

'Fawkes the Phoenix' by Robin Thibodeau

A Scorpio Ascendant teaches us to rise from the ashes like a Phoenix.  Scorpio is a fixed water sign, where feeling is in focus.  This is insight that penetrates through darkness and into the truth.  It confronts our fears by navigating through them to the medicine of renewal.  Bernie Sanders has been navigating this ‘truth-seeking in the depths’ his whole life.  He knows a thing or two about how to guide us through this journey ahead.

The Ascendant (conjunct Bernie’s Ascendant) is in a beneficial sextile with the ever-present Capricorn Council.  This 2^nd House gathering of Wise Ones in Capricorn is attended by Pallas Athene, Mars, Jupiter, Pluto, Chariklo, and Saturn.  The Saturn-Pluto influence has been strong for a while here.  The two were conjunct in January for the first time since 1982, and the ‘structural transformation’ of this combination was a significant part of our collective story last year…which continues in the year ahead.  But as this new year begins, it is the Mars-Jupiter conjunction that is most activated in this Capricorn Council.  This is the combined wisdom of ‘expanded action’.  It inspires us to provide a substantial mobilization of effort toward sustainability in this time of structural transformation.  Here in the U.S., this Capricorn call to action is in our 2^nd House…a stellium of energy so valuable to us as a resource of objective wisdom. 

So, as we rise from the crisis of this time, we are in good rapport with this Capricorn stellium.  The objective orchestration that this Council of Wise Ones provides is of great value to our country.  We need a leader who is aligned with this opportunity in constructive ways.

Karma and Fate of the Collective Soul

Fate is always part of the Soul Story, and that does not lessen the impact of free will choice.  The two co-create the story…in a kind of call-and-response dance.  Fate can be seen in the axis of the lunar nodes.  In Capricorn, the South Node has been releasing the karma that has come from a patriarchal past which misused our feminine Earth.  The South Node in Saturn’s sign says, ‘Time’s Up’.  It’s the ‘Dragon’s Tail’ where we let go of waste and compost it into wisdom.  With both the South Node and Saturn nearing the end of their journey through Capricorn, it is wise to heed the call of ‘The Time is NOW’.  

What has been destroying our Earth, what has been destroying our systems, what has been destroying our resources, what has been destroying our values…it must be released this year and moved toward sustainability.  With Pholus at the South Node, this is a rapid release of transformation akin to how an Ro2 virus can spread.  As Melanie Reinhart says about Pholus:  ‘small cause, big effect’.

For more about the Pholus energy at the karmic releasing point, read Lorna Bevan’s article.  It's very revealing of how things are being released.

The North Node, which is the ‘Dragon’s Head’, is in Cancer.  This is what we are taking in, what nourishes our Collective Soul’s evolution.  Cancer North Node brings us the medicine of emotional bonding, protection of family, and compassionate care for those in need…especially those most vulnerable.  In a widespread pandemic situation, this points to the parents and caregivers at home taking care of so many kids while schools are closing.  This also points to the nurses and doctors at work to care for the sick.  For all of us, this points to the necessary call to care about protecting each other.  

North Node is uncomfortable for many…some may even feel it as an inconvenience, especially those who have become addicted to the achievement-oriented career mindset of the South Node in Capricorn.  That South Node is in our country’s 2^nd House, after all, so many of us are concerned about finances and scarcity of resources.  North Node is in our country’s 8^th House, the House of transformation and shared resources.  Let’s just say, if you’re hoarding wealth…or toilet paper and hand sanitizer…you might just be contributing to the blockage in this Dragon’s belly.

Sisyphus is conjunct our North Node…and there’s no getting around the Sisyphean feat that is ‘caring for others during a pandemic’.  As Sisyphus found, you can’t cheat Death.  And yet, the ‘try and try again’ of pushing a boulder up a hill endlessly is part of the medicine.  It teaches us something profound, as soon as we can get past the feelings of ‘this is pointless’.  The lesson is about the arrogance of our collective ‘Achievement Addiction’. 

Chiron as the key

And as we begin this New Year, Sun-Chiron in Aries within the Black Moon portal is in a dynamic T-square with our Nodal axis.  The spotlight is on the wound of our Collective Identity.  The necessity to heal this wound can’t be ignored…it is already painfully inflamed throughout the world.  For the U.S., the wound resides in the 4^th House of our roots.  It demands that we address the wound at its roots.  

Let me be clear about this, the wound is NOT the virus…it’s much deeper than that.  It has more to do with our actions (Aries) from our karmic past (South Node) and how we need to actively respond to our future (North Node).  Our ancestral past in this country is full of wounded storylines that carry through generations.  Stressful as it is to carry the Sisyphean boulder of that, we were incarnated in this transformative time to heal those wounds at our root for the future of our descendants.

When we have a T-square…all the stress of the opposition pools at the apex (Sun-Chiron).  To alleviate the stress and address the wound, we look to the opposite part of the chart (Libra).  And there, at the beginning of Libra, is Bernie’s natal Mercury in the 10^th House of Public Contribution.  He has the ideas that provide the balance our country needs for this healing.  He has the voice that continually speaks of the need for justice and equality.  

Even without being president, his ideas and his voice that speaks for the people of this country has already been shifting us in a direction of healing.  The ideas he’s speaking about, they can’t be ignored either (that’s the nature of having something square to the nodes of the Collective Soul).  What he is communicating…it calls out the wound and says ‘this is what we can do about it’.  

And his Mercury in Libra isn’t speaking for himself…Libra is about others.  In the 10^th House, it is highly visible (even as the media continues to downplay it), and it speaks to those things that the public recognizes as important…the social programs we need to fearlessly address the roots of our country’s systemic wounds.  This is the true meaning of Democratic Socialism…don’t get it twisted.

Aiding the flow of the nodes through a sextile opportunity is transiting Uranus in Taurus.  In our country, Uranus is bringing a shock to our bodily health in the 6^th House…awakening us to changes that need to be made in our country’s healthcare system.  And aiding Chiron through a sextile opportunity is transiting Hygiea in Gemini (Goddess of Hygiene and Preventative Health Practices).  In our country, Hygiea is in the 7^th House of Others.  Here, she speaks through the many reminders of others on how to prevent infection…wash your hands, social distancing, stay home if you’re sick, etc.  But she’s also working with the roots of the deeper wound in our collective…applying healing methods to prevent further complications.  Bernie Sanders has his Uranus Retrograde at the beginning of Gemini, conjunct Hygiea’s influence.  He is providing innovative ideas and eye-opening conversations with health professionals and scientists to address prevention and healing. 

The Nature of Panic and the Pandemic

Widespread panic fear often goes hand-in-hand with a viral pandemic, largely because of the uncertainty looming like a fog.  When professionals we think are supposed to have answers don’t have answers, it can be very unsettling.  So when I see mass panic, I look at the nature of Neptune (which rules that nebulous confusion) and the asteroid Pan (named after the God of the Forest whom the word ‘panic’ comes from).  It’s not surprising to me that the two are in a very strong square from Pisces to Gemini.  This combination creates a heady cocktail of panic-stricken reactions to all the confusion, as well as confusion from the panic. 

'The Great God Pan' by Norman Mills Price

Ah, but Pan is a Trickster God…a Sacred Clown in many ways.  The Trickster, too, is a Healer/Teacher…teaching the medicine through its opposite.  Aside from the harshness of this square to Neptune…Pan is actually making some helpful harmonics to other parts of this Equinox chart.  So, what’s the medicine within the panic?  First, let’s talk about where the term ‘Panic Fear’ originates.  

Enter the Sacred Forest, where Pan resides.  Mere mortals are not so aware of our surroundings as we think we are.  Often, we are not paying attention to the Sacred Earth we walk upon or the unseen forces of nature.  

So, Pan plays tricks on us.  He rustles the bushes, calls out scary animal sounds, and gets us running in circles…completely lost from the direction we came in with.  It feels like your head is spinning.  It’s hard to breathe.  You have no idea where you are or which way to go…or even what exactly you're afraid of.  But it’s a terrible feeling…an overwhelming sense of ‘something very bad is lurking very near and about to pounce’. 

And, in the dizzy spin, there is all this electricity from the fear within your body.  It needs a place to ground.  The greatest trick is within the simplicity of that idea.  When we’re in panic mode, we are overcomplicating things.  The simplicity of the medicine of grounding that electricity is what is needed. 

If we stop running in circles and give ourselves time to catch our breath, we may notice that the grounding medicine has been right under our feet all along.  Mother Earth. 

Kick off your shoes…plant your feet on the soothing earth and ground that electricity surging within you into the forest floor.  You see, we tend to forget that Mother Earth is best at transmuting such energies.  Connect with her, this is one of the many things she does for her children. 

In this calming connection, we regain a sense of direction that is aligned with Mother Earth and all her creatures.  We learn the best path forward…one that honors all of life, even in the face of death. 

Pan lets out a hearty laugh, winking at you as you reclaim this earth-centered wisdom.  He dances off into the distance while playing his flute in celebration.  And you, along with more and more of the rest of us, resume the journey in a more guided direction on this Earthwalk.

All of this is to point out the medicine of our Earth.  It is not at all meant to downplay the difficulty of moving through panic and crossing the threshold to calm.  Just because it’s simple doesn’t mean that it’s easy.  But it is possible.  And the simplicity of it is that Mother Earth is there supporting you under every step.  We are never far from her guidance.  But it is an individual choice to connect.

Gaia’s Guidance for the Path Ahead of the U.S.

If Mother Earth could vote, she would vote for Bernie Sanders as president of the United States of America.  He is the only candidate running who truly cares about our Earth and all of us who live here.  He’s not a miracle worker, and he’s not perfect…but he is best aligned with where this country is headed.  Progressive as he is, he is not an anachronism.  He was meant for this time…whether or not he becomes president.  The medicine he was born with is specifically designed for NOW.

And with his most beneficial planet, Jupiter, conjunct with Pan in Gemini now…he has the kind of benevolent guidance we need in a time of panic.  It’s not just the health crisis.  It’s the widespread wave of change washing over us, clearing out the Collective Wound and transforming every crumbling structure that can no longer support us. 

We need a leader with a sound mind and wise counsel.  We need a leader with a humble and unwavering sure-footedness upon the grassroots of our country.  We need a leader who encourages enthusiasm and foresight over panic.  But beyond what we need in a leader…we need this movement.  Movement is how we make the changes that are necessary in the path ahead of us.

Full Moon in Virgo: Form and Function from the Fog

'Lightning Sky at Full Moon' by Marianna Mills

Full Moon in Virgo:  Form and Function from the Fog

Moon opposite Sun- 3/9/2020 @ 12:47pm CDT

The Full Storm Moon carries a reflection of the mystical waters of Pisces, but in an earthy light.  The Virgo expression of the Pisces cycle is one that offers creative solutions to the mystifying journey we’ve been on in the last couple weeks.  The Virgo Full Moon celebrates the Sacred Work we are doing to blossom on this Earth, but it’s more like ‘whistle while we work’ celebration.  Since Moon is near her perigee (closest to Earth), she is one of the Supermoons that happen this year.  When Moon in her fullness is closer to us, we feel her pull strongly.  Illuminating Virgo, this Storm Moon is a time where we feel the pull to clear away some cobwebs from the corners of our homes…and from our minds.

Mercury, the Collective Mind and the ruler of Virgo, stations direct on the same day as this Full Moon.  The Sabian Symbol for Mercury’s direct station in Aquarius is something I mentioned recently in my Mercury post:

'Free Your Mind' by Catrin Welz-Stein

“The Sabian Symbol of this Mercury Station is one of my favorites: ‘a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis’. Here we come to the whole reason our Collective Mind needed to go inward…we needed this time to transform. We may have felt ready to emerge back on Feb. 2…but we had some inner work to do before we were ready. Within the Chrysalis of Transformation, a certain mindset was challenged to dissolve so that a new idea could emerge. During the Pisces part of this process…the ‘imaginal cells’ took over and dissolved past thoughts into some ‘primordial soup’, reconstructing a new expression into being.

It’s not easy to become a Butterfly after living as a Caterpillar…there is a battle within the chrysalis where the Caterpillar fights against the inevitable change. There may also have been a similar battle in your mind with old habits not wanting to die, questioning the new that’s coming in. Whatever this ‘change of mind’ journey was for you personally, you gained some new wings. Now is the time we emerge from this chrysalis and take a moment to pause as we pump the blood into these unfolding wings. Once Mercury starts moving direct again…we fly off and greet the world anew, tasting the sweetness of life from every blossom we encounter, integrating the lesson of this retrograde journey with a fresh perspective.”

And in harmonious, supportive aspects with our luminaries we have the Capricorn Stellium…with Pallas Athene and Jupiter in closest alignment.  Jupiter is the traditional ruler of Pisces, where Sun and Neptune (the modern co-ruler of Pisces) are conjunct now, opposite the Moon.  Both the Mercury rulership and the Jupiter rulership come into play strongly during this time.  Jupiter brings some beneficial light to all the changes we’ve been making this year in Capricorn ways.  And Mercury brings in the idea we will be integrating throughout the waning cycle.  But, Pallas Athene (daughter of Jupiter/Zeus) especially strengthens the Virgo Moon ability to see the patterns of things and create effective strategies.  Support from this asteroid of the Wise Woman is key as she is able to see both the big picture (Jupiter’s view) and the finer details (Mercury’s view) to come up with those creative solutions.  

The Virgo-Pisces axis holds the common thread of service.  In this Full Moon, it is the workers of the world who can most efficiently integrate the changes that are necessary for the path forward.  There is a selflessness of service illuminated that has potential to bring unity with discernment and compassion in balance. 

Of course, some will be more inclined to practice ‘nit-picking through a fog’, which isn’t the most efficient expression of Virgo Moon in Pisces Season.  Virgo, a mutable earth sign, is more efficiently expressed by bringing definition to the functional form emerging from Piscean waters.  We will have some help bringing new ideas into form with both the other earth signs highlighted now (the Capricorn Council and the Venus-Uranus conjunction in Taurus).  It is an excellent time to create something, or organize something that has gone scattered as we’ve confused our priorities. 

The Venus-Uranus conjunction in a sesquiquadrate (135 degree aspect) to this Virgo Moon is a dynamic that will likely bring up something shocking to our value systems.  We are challenged to relate beyond our current irritations in more inventive ways than we’re used to.  With two major shifts in fixed signs (Venus-Uranus in Taurus, then Mercury’s direct station in Aquarius) occurring before and after this Full Moon, we are collectively focused on changing some things that are very resistant to change.  It’s not a time to kick back and keep doing things as we have been.  It’s a time to work with new strategies from a shift in perspective. 

Mercury’s station does allow us to take time to pause though, and appreciate all that is emerging from this recent journey.  Much of the inner work lately has been on the emotional and mental planes.  Now it is time to bring some focus to your mind through some physical (Virgo earth) practice.  You might notice the details becoming clear enough now to understand the path forward.  If you have been feeling some of the confusion or fogginess that the Collective often feels during Pisces season, the Virgo Full Moon is a good time to prioritize what is important and get things in good order before the shift of seasons is upon us.
