This morning we wake up to
the Moon in Leo leaving a stabilizing trine with Saturn (2:32 AM) and
entering a forward moving trine with Uranus (7:07 AM). Saturn in
Sagittarius and Uranus in Aries are currently waxing into trine
separated by a mere 2 degrees. Though the building energy of this
waxing trine will hang with us for most of March, these two bodies
will not perfect in trine before Saturn turns Rx. However, exact or
not, the energy IS present. It says, “Make your own rules” and
“don't do what you are told without scrutinizing it first.” This
morning's lunar movements give this waxing trine a bit of a flavor
boost.
The meat of the rest of the
day rides off this freeing and wonderfully creative energy. Right up
until the Moon squares off with Mars in Scorpio at 8:17 PM. We are
HUNGRY. Par for the course, having dealt with the high protein
requirements of a Big Cat Moon..especially one that is waxing into
Full Bloom tomorrow afternoon. Many may be on the prowl tonight
hunting for satiation of one type or another. Hair poofed out and
preened to its best as we scour the alley ways (or local restaurants)
for something to fill our empty pits. There is, however, always a
chance at conflict when squares are involved. No fighting over the
appetizers! There's plenty to go around. But, yeah, there could be
sounds of cat squalling, calling or clawing coming from the backyards
and back alley corners under this nearly Full Moon.
Following the square with
Mars, the Moon is Void until entering Virgo at 6:25 AM tomorrow
morning.

This morning we wake up to
the Moon in Virgo working it's way into an opposition with the Pisces
Sun at 1:20 PM. We call that a Full Moon, folks. And, it is the last
major lunar event prior to eclipse season. The Full Moon in Virgo
calls for us to lean into the higher expressions of the sign. Humble
service. Practicality. Categorizing. Planning. Down to Earth. Making
ideology tangible. If Pisces is the dream of what we can do, Gemini
is the information/data gathering and Virgo is the making manifest.
Bring the dream and the idea both into tangible form. Sagittarius,
our last mutable sign, then becomes the higher lessons we learned
from the entire process that we incorporate as theory into our
awareness. All of which are subject to change.
The Full Moon's ruler,
however, is in fixed Aquarius conjunct Pallas. Brilliant. Though not
so flexible it is willing to think for itself and Pallas aids in
putting all the pieces of the puzzle together either for the first
time or assembling all the broken pieces into new usable form.
Patterns of behavior are recognized from a nearly clinical
perspective and with the dispassionate views of both Virgo and
Aquarius in play we can sort and re-align accordingly. Imbibed with
the compassion of Pisces and the power of imagination that comes with
that, nearly anything you dream up can be broken down into manageable
steps. But, you've got to believe in yourself enough to be willing
to give it a try.
Also “helping” or
“hindering” (depending on your perspective) is the waxing
opposition of Jupiter Rx to Chiron. This will shine a spotlight on
what needs to be addressed both on a collective level and an
individual level. It brings awareness to weaknesses, illnesses, and
thorns in our paw that we may have previously numbed ourselves
against, denied or forgotten.
Jupiter will, indeed, point out these
weak spots and I can't tell you it won't be painful. The Moon is
quite sensitive and even if Virgo may think that over-emotionality is
impractical, it may be something we all have to deal with instead of
sweeping it under the rug. Lift that freaking rug up and sweep that
stuff out of your atmosphere instead. You cannot fix something if you
don't know where or how it is broken. Jupiter vs Chiron is going to
show us that in undeniable ways. Don't poke at your broken pieces.
Love them. All of them. Mercury conjunct Pallas can help us rise
above the ways we may unknowingly continue to poison ourselves and
develop new and more supportive methods. The energy coming from Virgo
provides us with plenty of Earth to keep us grounded in our efforts
if we only reach for it.
Meanwhile, the Moon moves on
at midnight to oppose Neptune. It may be the last week of February
but March's wild weather is growling at the door. Mother Nature is
Spring Cleaning. And, she misses no corners. The suggestion,
especially if you feel as if you are in a state of chaos, is to do
the same. Clean all the things. With Mercury in Aquarius, the end
result will be as pristine as if you'd hired an OCD professional.
White glove test passed. Sounds mundane and simple. But, as within,
so without. Clean and organize on the outside and you feel more clean
and organized on the inside.
Crazy Spring Cleaning
weather and potentially chaotic emotional states aside, there is
chance for illness in these skies. If you are sick, be a good patient
and your own best caregiver. If you are not sick, build proper
barrier against getting that way. Wash your hands. Take your
vitamins. Drink plenty of water and don't skimp on the Vitamin C.
Reduce your overall exposure to germs. Want extra Virgo points? Buy a
new toothbrush and wage a war on stagnant germs that lie around in
your everyday. Clean sweep. Know this is earthquake season on the
East Coast and rock/mud slide season across the nation. As the Earth
thaws and the rains come down, the ground moves. So, we most
definitely could hear of some of that as well.

This morning, the Moon still
lingers in Virgo brimming with fullness. She moves away from her
midnight rendezvous with Neptune and toward a sobering square with
Saturn at 1:03 PM. Some boundary in the swamps may actually come as a
relief. But, for the most part, there is little joy in this lunar
aspect. It is the smack of reality in your face. And, it occurs just
prior to the washout of Jupiter in Virgo opposite Chiron in Pisces at
3:05 PM.
The Moon will enter this
opposition, but not before checking in with empowering Pluto at 3:17
PM. There are strong calls for integrity and fortitude under this
sky. Again, keep your hands clean lest you would rather be caught in
a maniacal nightmare about ousting the stains later. Prioritize.
Triage. Care for the sick and broken. Be. Honest. And forthright.
Remember, the bed you make is also the one you get to sleep in. Pay
forward favors for your future self instead of putting additional
blocks in your own path. Accept whatever it is that Jupiter opposite
Chiron shows you and vow to make necessary changes to your behavior
in an effort to live more healthfully either emotionally or
physically. If that means you need to withdraw from the craziness of
the World in an effort to find center, don't guilt yourself over it.
Instead, give yourself permission. That is what the higher expression
of Jupiter in Virgo and Saturn in Sagittarius would have us to do
anyway. Declare a sanctuary of silence if needed for your own sanity.
Strive to keep things simple. Even if the seas of Pisces are
swirling, use Virgo's energy as the sieve to filter out what is of
true importance while letting everything else drift away into the
abyss.
At 9:44 PM the Moon finds
Jupiter by conjunction and subsequently opposes Chiron. You can't go
back and change anything. All you can do is accept this new wisdom
you've been given and vow to move forward with it. The desire to move
forward and survive whatever this exposes comes through a waxing
lunar sextile to Mars in Scorpio which perfects in the morning. Get
some rest. We just might survive to give it another go tomorrow.

We meet this day with a
feeling of resolve as the now waning Virgo Moon meets Mars in Scorpio
(who is also currently in shadow) by sextile. Your next step is very
important because the actions you make over the next few weeks will
be revisited. Make sure you know what is motivating you. We are
striving for change endurance more so than world domination. But, in
a way, we may feel like we have the power to do both. Go on, then.
Dominate your own world. But, don't feel you have the right to pick
apart what you see wrong in everyone else's life. That's none of your
damn beeswax. If it feels like you are walking on eggshells, you just
might be. The ground is wickedly unstable and crunchy as eclipse
season knocks on the door. Be mindful, practical, responsible and
HUMBLE in EVERYTHING you do. This New Moon Eclipse in Pisces that
lights up the calendar on March 8 is going to be a lot like falling
down the rabbit hole. Who knows where you or anyone else will end up.
After the sextile with Mars,
the Moon is Void until entering Libra at 5:42 PM.

Today is pretty windy. Which
may come as a bit of relief during watery Pisces season. The Moon in
Libra starts her day under a sextile from Mercury in Aquarius to
Saturn in Sagittarius (3:06 PM). Brilliant plans for the future are
made under this sky. Sparks of inspiration whirl about like dust
bunnies under a ceiling fan set on high. Brain power is kicking.
Logic is crystalline. Thoughts are clear and socially conscious but
set apart from what is considered to be status quo.
At 3:18 PM, the Moon dances
by trine with Venus in Aquarius. This is a touch and go type dance.
Not clingy and sultry like the tango. It's more of a mirroring of
movements that eventually turns each partner away from the other for
a brilliant dance in soliloquy.
The wind picks up in
ferocity and tempo as the Moon finds Saturn in Sagittarius by sextile
at 1:29 AM. Thunder may roll and the ground might truly shake as she
finds Pluto in Capricorn by square at 3:40 PM. Our emotive bodies
respond to the weather and the brain collects the energetic lightning
that streaks across the sky as the Moon finds Mercury by trine at
4:39 AM. The “busting loose” feel of that energy is driven home
hardcore as the Moon opposes Uranus bright and early (of course) at
6:19 AM on Friday the 26th. Our fishy Sun may feel dried
out and washed up by then. That's a lot of air to contend with. None
of it is very conducive to sleep. It's stormy outside and inside;
but, if you can overcome your fear of that, you may just pick up some
new inspiration. Be energized by this windy front that moves through.
Sure take safety precautions and shelter when/if necessary; but, let
your brain run wild with the potential presented under this sky. Keep
clearing out old decks and mindfully stacking the new ones. Breathe
in and fill your lungs with the freshness coming from our atmosphere
right now. Open the windows and let it breathe into your home wafting
out winter's stale and wafting in the promise of the new. Keep
yourself sheltered in your self-created eye of the storm...protected
and sheltered but still able to absorb and put to use the swirling
energy.
I find the potential in this
energy exciting. But, it can be overtaxing and overstimulating to
some. Be wary of anxiety and mindful of triggers to the same. Address
them appropriately. Doing so imbibes your personal shelter with
strength instead of threatening to just blow you away. Tie a string
to your toe and sprout wings on your back. Soar like a kite in the
swiftly changing winds. Oh come on. It'll be fun.

The Moon in Libra is Void
after her early morning opposition with Uranus. But, the swirling
winds and inspirational lightening bolts continue as Mercury in
Aquarius finds his current ruler, Uranus in Aries by sextile at 6:02
PM. Brains are buzzing imbibing us with the ability to break free
from negative thought loops. The brain churns and churns and tongues
are most certainly unleashed. Be careful where you swing your sword.
Be mindful of what you allow to fall out of your mouth because you
won't get an opportunity to suck it back up later. Under a Pisces
Sun, you will feel remorse for indiscriminately cutting folks. Other
than that, feel free to be inspired. Write down what wondiferous
thoughts and ideas sparkle through your psyche on this day and plan
to follow through with them in the very near future. Be hopeful.
Collaborate, network and share ideas. Exchange the inspiration. If
something is to be blown away, let it be the box you keep trapping
yourself in.
The Moon remains Void all
day until sinking into Scorpio at 6:27 AM tomorrow. Take a deep
breath before we begin plunging those emotional depths.

The mania of the last few
days begins to wear off under today's sky. The Moon sinks into watery
Scorpio early this morning. Two nights of swirling restless sleep has
caught up to us. Now, all that remains is the dull gonging numbness
in our heads that feels a lot like a hangover. Back to the waters we
shall go quenching our thirst and soothing our sore overworked
throats.
Within the ethereal waters
we shall remain today. The winds have quieted in the atmosphere and
in our brains as the Moon waxes into a trine with the Sun and Neptune
in Pisces all day perfecting right around midnight. Ahhhh, to sleep,
perchance to dream. A gentle rhythmic rain dancing on tin rooftops
lulls us into dreamland. To float upon the open waters without a
nagging thought or catalyzing idea one. Rest your weary head. Imbibe
all those brilliant ideas with rich and fertile creativity. Let them
gestate in these waters until they are ripe to act upon. Timing, my
friends, is everything. Yesterday we floated on clouds. Today we sink
to the depths of the ocean where it's dark, enveloping and rich with
creativity. Allow the mud to overtake you. Willingly sink into it.
Get very, very quiet...as you sink...all...the...way...down. Never
releasing your grip on what dreams may come.
