Pisces Full Moon

Monday, September 8, 2014

8:38 pm CDT

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.

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.

Leo New Moon on July 26, 2014

On Saturday July 26th at 5:42 pm CT, we have a New Moon with the Moon and Sun in the early degrees of Leo. Jupiter is also in early Leo, bringing an expansion of this warm, generous and dramatic Leo energy. Remember that this is a great time to set an intention, but be sure to do it within 48 hours!

Get outdoors this weekend and surround yourself with people you love. Go on a picnic, explore the zoo with children or go boating.

Jupiter is in tense aspect to Mars at this Full Moon, bringing to mind the possibility of aggression/fights/disagreements among those in close relationship.

Again, as we have seen most of the Summer, there is an abundance of Cardinal energy: Pluto and Uranus continue their journey through Capricorn and Aries (yep, Cardinal). To add to this, Venus and Mercury are now well into Cancer (Cardinal) - a security-driven, emotionally tender sign.

Jupiter entered Leo

Jupiter (expansion) has just entered the sign of Leo (playful, generous and dramatic).  That sounds wonderful to me.  I could use a dose of playfulness, how about you?

Jupiter is the ruling sign of Sagittarius, the energy to learn, share (teach), profess, expand and bring optimism forward.  Sagittarius is a Mutable Fire sign, meaning that it is radiant, warm and flexible.

For those of us born late July through late August, or with planets in Leo, Jupiter may bring good fortune, enjoyment, or more learning opportunities.

The Sun will be entering Leo in two days, July 23^rd.  Leo is another Fire sign, but it is Fixed energy.  Fixed energy is just about like it sounds – not receptive to change.  Leos can be stubborn, or stuck in their ways unless given extraordinary reasons to change.

The positive side of Leo is charisma, generosity and warmth that evolved Leos radiate.  The negative side is puffy-chested, “I’m better than you, so bow down to my greatness" energy.

Most Leos just want to be accepted, acknowledged for their contributions and loved for who they are.  I think that’s true of most of us, don’t you?

Try not to feel that you are giving part of yourself when you compliment someone.  Just recognizing another person for their gifts, love, creativity or help can bring light into an otherwise gloomy day.

Air Grand Trine

Emotions are running high today!  You may feel like shouting out your spirit of independence today.

There is an Air Grand Trine operating between Venus (love) and Mars (assertion) and the Moon (feelings).

Take a moment to dwell with your thoughts, feelings and desires.  Are they aligned with your goals?  How do they fit or not fit?  Give yourself time to think it over and feel out the path you wish to take.

I suggest a meditation, talking a walk, communing with nature before setting out on a new path.  Get in tune with your feelings and imagine how they might play out.

A consultation with an astrologer, such as me, can help you get in tune with your heart’s desires, life path and ambitions.  Email me at AstrologyByMarsha at gmail dot com.  A personal consultation can be done by phone, FaceTime or Skype for $125.  That’s a small investment for insight into your natal chart, to align yourself with your life path.

Capricorn Full Moon July 12, 2014

On Saturday, July 12^th at 6:25 am CT there will be a Capricorn Full Moon.  This melding of Cardinal energies (Water and Earth) results in mud!  Astrology is often delightful in the images it brings to mind.  Truly though, this is wonderful energy to make excellent progress on projects you may have neglected.

Once again, all of the Cardinal energies and signs are invoked in this Full Moon.  Mars (Libra) is square to the Sun (Cancer) and Moon (Capricorn) and Pluto (Capricorn) is square to Uranus (Aries).  If that isn’t enough, Uranus is also squaring the Sun & Moon.

The energy to get things started is truly there this Summer.  The tension is present (see the paragraph above) and Cardinal energy is at hand.
