Sun and Moon at 18 Pisces 55

The Sabian symbols for 18 Pisces and it’s opposite, 18 Virgo are a giant tent and an Ouija board. Imagery comes to my mind of continuously flowing intuition and how it naturally cycles with the horoscope. These are beautiful thoughts for a New Moon that is followed two minutes later by a total Solar Eclipse.

With Jupiter opposed to the Sun & Moon the energy of this New Moon seems as if it is being amplified by the expansive energy of Jupiter in service-oriented Virgo.

On the other hand, Saturn is making contact with all three powerful planets (Sun, Moon and Jupiter), inhibiting this beautiful expression. Imagine if you will the power of Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, as it is found in contact with the planet powering our thought process – Mercury. Through this force, I imagine the power of Neptune/Pisces being amplified despite those (Saturn) who would dampen the intuitive process.

Signs

This morning as I woke and glanced at the current horoscope at 4:46 am CT (just hours before Mercury retrogrades), I noted Jupiter at the Midheaven. Jupiter, the bringer of expansion and rewards, and I thought that perhaps I should focus on her instead of Mercury.

I also noticed Venus and Saturn together in Sagittarius, the sign of Jupiter. I was fascinated by this because Love (Venus) of Father (Saturn) was the first message I saw this morning on my computer.

As my teacher, Sonia Choquette, advised my intuition class last November, "notice the signs, they're everywhere."

Virgo New Moon

On August 25th there is a Virgo New Moon, with both the Sun and Moon in the 9^th house of travel, adventure and higher education.  Are you thinking of furthering your skills by taking a class?  Mars is in very tight aspect to Saturn, perhaps resulting in low energy.  The focus on this day, however, is on the Moon and Sun.  There is a suggestion of creative energies coming forward, with Neptune in aspect to the Sun and Moon. 

Get up, have a dance party (even if it’s only a party of one) and get those creative juices flowing.  Settle in and allow yourself to give expression to whatever comes through for you.

Aquarian Full Moon, Sunday August 10, 2014

We will have an Aquarian Full Moon on Sunday, August 10^th at 1:10 pm CT or 7:10 pm BST.  This Full Moon is being called a Super Moon.  The reason it is called a Super Moon is because the Moon is at its perigee, or closest point to the Earth. 

At this time, Mercury is involved tightly with the Sun, and opposite the Moon.  Saturn in Scorpio is in stressful contact with the Sun, Mercury and the Moon.  This could manifest in restriction of emotional expression in some way – censorship?  There is a lot of Fixed energy with this Full Moon, so you are well advised to be aware and be prepared to go with the flow.

Romanticizing Life

“Remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now. Live it, feel it, cling to it. I want to become acutely aware of all I’ve taken for granted.”

― Sylvia Plath

These words give expression to my thoughts of patterns in the sky today.  We have Neptune in hard aspect to Venus, bringing to my mind how we romanticize life, and yes, take things for granted.  We can allow ourselves to see our life, and people we love, as we want them to be, not as they truly are.

Emotionally, you may feel “squashed” or unable to express your feelings to those closest to you.  This is a fleeting expression of Saturn today as it contacts the Moon.

I would love to be of service to you, to show you how these challenges manifest in your personal chart, as well as show you the opportunities that are coming up for you.  Email me at marsha.massino at gmail dot com for details.
