Full Moon – Lunar Eclipse 

(15 Pisces 22) 

 

Welcome to eclipse season which starts with the Pisces lunar eclipse and rolls through to the solar Virgo eclipse on September 21st.   The two weeks between eclipses, as always, will be informative.  That’s a nice word for it.  

 

In general, the Pisces full moon is a reminder to the Virgo Sun, “Hey, you know there is something bigger than you, right?”  Virgo’s love of details and all that is micro is important.   We keep the trains running because of Virgo.  Great.  But Pisces, is the realm of the mysterious and understands there would be no trains running on time if someone had not dreamt of the train and that came from Pisces world.   Of course, all of that is juiced up when it a lunar eclipse.  

 

The chart for the eclipse is a mixed flow.  One on hand, there is a snarky aspect with Venus in Leo, suggesting anyone who takes a victory lap could get pushback and be told in detail why they are not victorious.  It is also a little blech-y around money and values.  But on the other hand, Jupiter, a co-ruler of Pisces, is heading to a sextile with the moon and a trine with the Sun.   Think of a best friend throwing you a party.  “I’m bringing the best champagne!”     However, Jupiter is still stinging from the square by Mars a few days earlier.  There may be some debris from Sept 4 (when the aspect was exact) influencing the full moon. “I’m bringing champagne but I’m on crutches”.    Jupiter in Cancer wants security and betterment to home and family but Mars in Libra, under a stressful square can bring a forceful Tit-for-Tat attitude.  If you have a need, be prepared to hear, “What is in it for me?”  Or if someone comes to you with a request, it may hit your, “Me-again?”  and it is you asking for reciprocation.      The good news is this tough Mars/Jupiter square is waning, so it is not as in-your-face influence as it was on Sept 4.  

 

While Saturn is not in aspect to Sun or Moon it is still an influence.  Saturn returned to Pisces on September 1.  On September 8 the moon (while still in the full phase) conjuncts Saturn.   As a reminder, Saturn’s five month return to Pisces is providing final work on the things that Pisces holds important.   Dreams, arts, intuition, the psyche, humanitarian issues and the power of suspending disbelief.    Pisces is a mutable sign, and the three other mutable signs are all about facts.  Gemini is about the current data on the ground.    Virgo is the data that makes things work, including the body.   Sagittarius is the data ‘over there’ (foreign) or up there (universities) or in there (publishers, churches).   All of them have a strong belief in their data.  But Pisces who, yes, understands the importance of data can also leave his belief and go deep into an internal space, that disengages from the facts, ponders dreamy thoughts and says, “Hmmm… what if.”   Pisces is that unworldly part of the oceans and the farthest part of the universe.  It is the deep and the cosmic inside all of us.   

 

There may be things that appear during these three and half days that could be spurred by a fact that gets our attention.   We then send feelers into our intuition and our dreams for more information.  What information will be our reply?    Saturn reminds us we have a responsibility to tap into the great unknown for answers to questions that may come up later.   Falling into internet rabbit holes may not be just a nonsense trip.  It could be something your psyche is working on that will make sense later.  Let see if some of it makes more sense by the next eclipse when the second Virgo New Moon is in exact opposition to Saturn.   That’s going to be a doozey.   More on that during the New Moon report later in the month. 

 

One more thing, Saturn is the planet of time and timing.   During this eclipse and three-day phase, we may see stories that were impacted by timing.   A person at the right place at the right time and perhaps the opposite a person at the wrong place at the wrong time.  Watch the news for those stories and on a personal level,  there could be bushels of coincidences and synchronist moments during the three-day phase.   See if you bring up something to friend and they say, “Wow I was just talking about that with someone the other day.”    Every time there is a synchronistic event, consider the universe is talking to you.  “Psst you are not alone”.  How perfectly Pisces.     


For those of you who are doing the deeper dive into the eight phases with me this month.   The full phase is when we seek a balance to the new.  

 

Reminder: 

New  Aug 22 11:06pm – August 26 8:44pm.  Plant seeds and actions ideally based on the theme of Virgo.    

 

Crescent Aug 26 8:44pm – Aug 30 11:25pm.  Information comes to us, much of it informed by the wheels we turned on the New, either consciously or unconsciously. 

 

First Quarter August 30 11:25pm.  We do actions that connect to the wheels we turned on new moon and how we were informed during Crescent.   

 

Gibbous Phase September 3 9:52pm.  We sift through data and pull out those points that are important.  We separate the wheat from the chaff.  We refine.  

 

Full Moon September 7, 11:08am PDT until Sept 10 6:58pm.    Look back on the last two weeks and four phases.   What did you learn or experience during each phase?   How are your emotions in alignment with your goals?   On full moon there can be a big emotional break, for no other reason than to get back on track.   Is someone offering up a balanced perspective?   Make the most of the Pisces full moon and lunar eclipse.  

 

See you in three and half days at Disseminating.

Diving Into Gibbous Lunar Phase: Sept 3, 9:52pm - Sept 7, 11:08am

 




Gibbous Moon

 

 

Continuing the deep dives into the eight phases of the moon.  It is time to shift again.  

 

On Wednesday September 3 at 9:52pm PDT, the moon will move into the Gibbous phase.  

 

The three and half days of Gibbous are a time when the waxing moon spreads wide.   Often people will see the Gibbous phase and think they are looking at the full moon because it is almost completely illuminated.    But it is not quite full during Gibbous.    Instead, this is phase where we prepare for what the full moon my bring.  

 

Reminder: 

New  Aug 22 11:06pm – August 26 8:44pm.  Plant seeds and actions ideally based on the theme of Virgo.    

 

Crescent Aug 26 8:44pm – Aug 30 11:25pm.  Information comes to us, much of it informed by the wheels we turned on the New, either consciously or unconsciously. 

 

First Quarter August 30 11:25pm.  We do actions that connect to the wheels we turned on new moon and how we were informed during Crescent.   

 

 

During Gibbous Phase which runs September 3 at 9:52pm - September 7, 11:08am we sift through the data in front of us and consider the goals we set on new moon.  Are the facts now and the goals from ten days ago far apart?  Or does it seem we are in sync having some goals realized or heading somewhere?   What kind of refining do we need to do based on the here and now?  Is there some opportunity in front of us that we almost missed had we not taken time to sort through everything? 

 

Because this phase is tied to 26 Capricorn 55 moon a lot of what is being illuminated has connection to our career and our place in the world.   We benefit during these three and half days by focusing on:  What goals did you prep at New Moon that speak of business and career?   How is there something shaping up that supports those goals?   What does it feel like to answer to your inner CEO?   How are you refining your business acumen?   How do you present yourself to the world?   Does that need a good tidying up?    How does insecurity impact your career?  What can you do to find more support?  What daily practices can you take on that will soften any insecurity?  

 

In many ways, no matter what the month, the Gibbous moon feels very ‘Virgo’  by all the refinement and picking and choosing what is important and what is not.   This is all very Virgo.  The fact we are doing this deep dive on Gibbous during the Virgo lunar month could be empowering.   Take these three days to sort and categorize anything in front of you as either: Important, potentially significant, no longer relevant and finally stupid.  You’ll know what to do once you sort through it all. And yes, that includes sort your thoughts.   Just sayin’ 

 

See you in three days at the Full Moon which is an eclipse btw.

Astrology Landscape September 1 - 5

 




September 1 – 5 Astrology Landscape.  

 

We continue the First Quarter Moon that launched on August 30.  What actions are you taking that further the goals you had on new moon ten days ago?    

 

 

 

Planetary Notes:

9/1: Saturn returns to Pisces (Separate Post

9/2: Mercury enters Virgo for three weeks we will get our persnickety conversations on.   We can be exact.  We can be detailed.   

9/3: Mercury square Uranus (1 Gemini 27) Being a provocateur serves whom?   That sharp comment that is so dang weird is supposed to accomplish what?  

9/3: Jupiter trine North Node (18 Pisces 21) Big luck, big opinions and big philosophy are inspired by the power of gentle.   Humanitarian needs may shine.  

 

Gibbous Moon

Details on Gibbous Phase to come.  

 

 

 

Planetary Notes:  

9/4: Mars square Jupiter (18 Cancer 35).  A day where no one is walking their talk or misguided feelings and opinions create a lot of problems.   Negotiate everything.  

9/5: Uranus station retrograde (1 Gemini 27) (See separate)

Uranus Retrograde: September 5.

 

Uranus: Wikipedia

Uranus

9/5   Uranus retrograde 1 Gemini 27 

11/7 Uranus returns to Taurus 

2/3   Uranus turns direct 27 Taurus 28 

4/25 Uranus returns to Gemini until 2032 

 

Uranus having just entered Gemini (July) turns retrograde on September 59:51pm PDT. 

 

Given this is Uranus’s first retrograde in the new sign of Gemini we should be on alert that ANYTHING is possible.    Gemini is long on fickle and capricious; Uranus is long on rebel and weird.   Those astro themes  suggest there could be attention grabbing chaos around the opening days of the retrograde.  The adage, “The unstable mind dominates” seems to be fitting for this stationary period by Uranus.  

 

Uranus only gets to one and half degrees of Gemini but still the retrograde can be informative.  Imagine you are a traveler who has entered a new country where you don’t know the language, the rules of the road, the food or the culture.  Maybe you exited one country and entered this new land, and you got as far as a couple small villages and one larger town.   Now you are forced to go back, retrace your steps and get to know more about the country and its customs.  This is our opportunity to get to know Uranus in Gemini with more depth.   Globally there will be more new technology announced.  I’m sure some really tweaked AI stuff gets our attention.  Gemini is one of the ‘news’ signs so there could be crazy breaking stories and problems or issues with some news sources.   How we mingle with others (Gemini) will be energized in new ways.   Remember the Coldplay Jumbo Tron incident?   That happened nine days after Uranus entered Gemini.  We will revisit that time frame again on this retrograde.    Lord deliver us from the next random event that is viewed a million times by breakfast.   

 


On November 7, Uranus will leave Gemini and re-enter Taurus.   In 1941, the last era of these signs, Uranus retrograded back to Taurus in September having recently entered Gemini.  It stayed in its final days in Taurus from September 1941 until May 1942.    Obviously, this window was significant because the United States entered WWII with the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December of 1941.  In that retrograde (facilitated by the War) new technology appeared including, Radar, Atomic Bomb Research, Synthetic Rubber and mass production of Penicillin.    That’s a lot of new.     


Folks with any planets at early Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces may feel stressed by the Uranus retrograde.   Conversations may help release some of the stress or short trips.  Figure out a way to unplug.    Little bits of breathing room will go far.   For those folks with planets in the last degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, you’ve been under assault or at least it may have felt that way for a long time.    Between November 7 and April 25, you are getting your last electric bolts to make some changes as dictated by the planet in those signs. It could feel rough but in the long run the changes will probably give you more space down the road to bring new fresh opportunities in your life.   

 

For the rest of us and the world, we will learn a lot of new facts on the ground in a lot of subject areas between now April 25th.   It is all part of this new landscape the outer planets; Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are building.    How we stay sane is anyone’s guess.    Maybe the answer is don’t bother and just go for the ride.
