Full Moon in Virgo 2021

On February 27th at 12:17 AM PST the Sun and Moon oppose each other exactly, bringing us the Full Moon in Virgo. The Sun is stationed at 8 degrees 57 minutes Pisces, and the Moon is at 8 degrees 57 minutes Virgo. This Pisces/Virgo axis is very interesting, as it represents our collective unconscious (Pisces) and what we dream to be true, and our rational mind (Virgo) and what we see with our own eyes.

Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, and the last month of the solar year. It is the sign of endings, of graduation. It is the last Water Sign of the year occurring in Winter, and symbolizes breaking the ice and preparing the ground for the seeds of Spring to sprout. Ruling the last house, it shows us what needs attention before rebirth. It is potentially the highest version of humanity, or, the least conscious, escaping responsibility. It is ruled by Neptune; the planet that shows us the fork in the road between the low road and the high road. The low road is cloudy, confused, and excuses one for fleeing from obligations; the high road delivers spiritual wisdom, compassion and creativity. So this energy provides us choices to make on how we proceed for our highest good.

Opposite this is the Virgo Full Moon. We know Full Moons are intense emotionally, and they affect our​ physical bodies as well as our behavior. When in the sign of Virgo, an Earth Sign representing the harvest; we are analyzing, organizing and taking inventory in order to learn from what worked and what didn’t in our “garden”, or life. This sign is ruled by Mercury, the messenger, and is very sharp. This is a duty bound, service oriented sign, and takes its obligations seriously. It makes us strive for perfection, and can over scrutinize and feel like a wet blanket. Again, balancing the energy to best use it.

So these two opposite energies are the topics of this event. Are you in balance between the dreamer and the physical manifestor? Do you follow through on your aspirations, or do you avoid making decisions that will commit you to possible failure? This Full Moon could bring stark realizations (Virgo) that shatter your version of reality (Pisces), and open up new perceptions of clarity. Of truth. With so much happening in our world right now, I can only speculate on how this will occur. It is global, as well as personal. There’s speculation we may have extreme weather events with water and wind, or flooding. There’s also speculation of global events that change our perspective of the truth.

My notion is always to keep an open mind, and know that I don’t know everything happening behind the scenes. In this age of Aquarius, we are meant to open our minds and hearts to freedom, for ourselves and everyone else. When we find out about the injustices happening around the globe, it enlightens us to the truth which can be very disconcerting. We must take a stand on what we learn, and how it affects our lives.

On the personal level, the Virgo Full Moon can open our eyes by digging in to find the feather of truth. The Pisces Sun can be of assistance by setting goals that are for the good of mankind, with the guidance of spiritual ambition. We each have a gift to share, a unique take on life, and now is the time to bring that forward. No more procrastination (Pisces), no more low self esteem (Virgo); time for dreaming the big dream (Pisces) and organizing your life to accomplish it (Virgo). Every sign has it’s lower and higher use of it’s energies, and it’s up to us how we use it.

So with this Full Moon, we can see the results of our plans set on the New Moon. Even bigger, we can look at the consequences of the choices we have made for ourselves and our lives to see if we were successful. With the echoes of the past year resounding in our heads, we need to clear the decks, wipe the hard drive, whatever metaphor you need for letting go of past beliefs and expectations before being reborn. We are in a new world that we are recreating. Don’t bring along the garbage on this new adventure. Let it melt away like the snow of winter, and set your sights on the renewal Spring brings.

I hope this Full Moon brings about the realizations that nothing is what it was, and under our new circumstances there is an opportunity to recreate. The sky's the limit if only you believe it. Let go of the fears that block you from climbing up the ladder for a grander view and life. Get out of your own way and access your highest version!

New Moon in Aquarius 2021

On February 11, 2021 at 11:06 AM PST we have a powerful New Moon in Aquarius. New Moons are always powerful starting points for setting goals, and new beginnings. But in the sign of Aquarius, the power is behind thinking outside the box, and not being afraid/ashamed of being different. This fixed Air Sign is bent on freedom, and will do whatever it takes to push forward to the light at the end of the tunnel. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the activator, that rattles our cages to help us find our way out.

This New Moon is extremely wonderful, as the Moon in Aquarius isn’t only accompanied by the Sun at 23 degrees. This New Moon has Mercury (communications) Retrograde at 16 degrees, Venus (values) and Jupiter (growth/expansion) conjoined at 12 degrees, and Saturn (the taskmaster) at 6 degrees. This “stellium” or grouping of planets and luminaries are transiting together to accentuate the message; MOVE FORWARD NOW! The beauty of this energy is it is very detached in a healthy way. It is grounded in hope and fulfilling wishes through group interaction. Not a time to go it alone, except for the time of contemplation and meditation, as that is when you will get your inspiration.

Part of this is Mars (action) at 18 degrees Taurus, and Uranus (the game changer) at 7 degrees Taurus; squaring this stellium. What does that mean? Squares bring challenges, or create issues that disclose where we need to find the middle ground in order to move forward. Everything is pointing to looking at this grouping of planets and luminaries as motivators to move on our highest goals. With these all being in fixed signs, stubbornness can get in the way of letting go. Look to where you are holding fast to the past, or things that no longer serve you. Aquarius is a very progressive sign and wants the best for all of humanity.

So, on this occasion, it is a perfect opportunity to write your list of goals, hopes, dreams and wishes. Don’t stop at one thing, allow yourself to fill the page with everything that your heart beckons you to reach for. Once you’ve finished your list, take time to set up your sacred space, and put your list in front of you. One by one read each one, and close your eyes and IMAGINE how that would look. How you would feel. What a difference it would make in your life. Spend as much time with each entry, giving it it’s full due of joy, peace and love.

Once you have completed your journey, take your list and burn it while watching the smoke trail up to the sky where it is received and prepared. Your goal is not to doubt what is for your highest good is on the way. Stay true to your dreams of a future you wish to be part of. Don’t look back, look forward. You will find you are freed from all that which limited you in the past if only you do the work to get there.

So remember always you are a spiritual being having a human experience, and it is up to each of us to make this experience the best it can be. Seek guidance from all those who surround you in Spirit, and listen to that small voice within. The stronger the voice is the easier your life will become. Trust me.

Full Moon in Leo January 28th, 2021

Our first Full Moon of 2021 happens at 11:17 AM PST, when the Moon and Sun oppose each other. The Moon is 9 degrees 6 minutes Leo and the Sun is 9 degrees 6 minutes Aquarius. Also stationed at 9 degrees Aquarius is Jupiter, conjoined with the Sun. Oh boy, here we go!

Leo is a Fire Sign, strong, regal, authoritarian. It rules the heart and can be very loving and generous energy. When the Moon is in this sign, especially a Full Moon, emotions run high. Feelings are passionate, dramatic and expressed with power. We can use this energy best creatively and show where we shine in our lives; Leo is ruled by the Sun. Otherwise, this energy can be frustrated, and make us touchy, bold and pushy. Leo rules the heart, and matters of the heart can be aired and mended with this Full Moon.

Opposite the Moon side by side is the Sun and Jupiter in Aquarius. This sign is an Air Sign of high humidity, meaning compassionate intellect. It rules humanitarian efforts, friendships and group goals. Leo and Aquarius are fixed signs, steadfast and dependable; leading us to see this opposing axis as a war of sorts. The war is between self interests and humanitarian ones. Now that Jupiter has transited into this sign, as of December 20th, 2020, there’s a new teacher available to us all. Our knowledge will be expanded, our goals will be elevated, and we will be more open minded as a result.

Also involved in this moment is Mars at 10 degrees Taurus and Uranus at 6 degrees Taurus. These planets square both the Sun and Jupiter, and the Moon. This creates what’s known as a “T-Square”; where opposing planets or luminaries form a square with a third planet, or planets here, forming a T. This fixed T-Square points to the answer lying with Mars and Uranus.

Mars is the planet of action, the warrior and individual. Uranus is the planet of change and activates change through disruption. These energies shake us out of our complacency and gives us the courage to take a stand and mean it. While in the sign of Taurus, we are concerned with values, priorities, and what we find important in our world. It is a very nurturing sign that represents the fertile ground we must prepare for our seeds to take root. We are faced with a new beginning we are creating for ourselves, and the more predisposed we are to stay alert and informed, the better off we are in our creation.

So I am suggesting on this day to meditate on and connect with your heart. I don’t mean that physically as much as it being your center. Your ability to love others begins with love of yourself. For a moment, see yourself as a child of proud parents; the Moon/Mother and the Sun/Father. Together they have created you with the loving spark that brought them together. You are their creation that is unconditionally loved, protected and inspired to grow and become a light unto yourself. To actualize your highest version was their goal in your creation, and it is up to you to carry on with that plan. They know you have been given the opportunity to evolve, and they are here to motivate you to take off your old, heavy garment, and step out of darkness into the light.

So as you see yourself in that light, imagine colors entering your vision that represent growth, strength and fertility. You are preparing the ground, the foundation for your life, to sprout and grow. Know that you are supported by Mars and Uranus to shed your fears and make the real changes in your life, your beliefs, and your well being.

Bask in the light of these luminaries while considering very deeply your connection to Spirit growing each day, as you are committed to improving not only yourself but the world you live in and the lives of others. It is my understanding that the more we are connected to our own inner guidance, the better our life becomes. We are never alone, and we are loved.

Be brave and carry on.
