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.

What happens when you marry the energy of illusion and intuition (Pisces) to that of service and health (Virgo)?  This is what is coming up for us at the Full Moon on Monday.

Pay attention to your body and the messages it is sending to you.  Perhaps you need to change your eating habits, or increase/start exercise. 

Meditation is a powerful tool to help you still your mind and really hear the message.  If you find meditation difficult, I highly recommend recordings that use binaural beats.  It helped me really get into meditating.

“Think of surges of sexual power; containing instincts, as a muse in a museum or as stifling wildness in a cage. Watch for red hair; matted hair, internal inflammations seeking external expression; creative strokes that shine like gold. Be alert for mirror images: revelations about human and ape-like affinities; raw, powerful expressions as opposed to mere emulation; refined social manners encroaching on one's inner wilderness; stark stripping away of social niceties. Consider pent-up forces that call for assimilation; malaise from feeling caged; a dexterity for getting the swing of things; breathing techniques for drawing on inner resources."

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.

4th of July weekend

There is a lot of “let’s do it” and “do it now’ energy present with Pluto opposite the Sun and square Uranus.  Those of us in the USA are getting ready for 4^th of July and a three-day-weekend, which can be exhilarating, and for some, overwhelming.

You may be planning to get together with friends, or with family.  That too can be attached to anticipation or dread.

Let go.  Let go of all expectations.  Think positively and have no goals.

The Sun is in nurturing Cancer – the mother energy.  Let the Sun nurture and feed your spirit.

The Moon is in Virgo – may good health and vitality be yours.  Eat well this weekend.  Take in food that will nourish your body.  You will feel much better for it, emotionally and physically.

Enjoy the long weekend!
