Pisces Full Moon -- September 6

Full Moon Phase
September 6, 2017
3:02am EDT
13 Pisces 53



Once a year we are gifted by Pisces full moon.  However, it does not always look like a gift.  Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and the final water sign.  Pisces rules the ocean and the world that is deep below the surface.   In Pisces we are reminded that all is not as it appears.  As you stand on the beach and look off into the blue horizon you admire the peaks and valleys of the waves rolling to shore.  You notice sea birds diving and you consider how the shades of blue between the ocean and the sky meet at some point off way in the distance.  All very lovely.  However, what you don’t think about are the thousands of fishes and sea creatures (some of them surreal) all living together miles under the ocean.  They are in their own world, which can’t be seen by us.   This is Pisces.  Worlds behind worlds.  Have you considered how you connect to others in worlds that you can’t see?  What is that connection?  During Pisces full moon the world that can’t be seen and the connections we have to things greater than us become front and center. 

Intuition and guts will be up for us. Watch what comes up in the next three days that seems different and makes you feel like you are in a different place.    As if you have caught a current in the ocean at night and in the morning you find yourself some place ‘different’.  This is when we call upon our gut.   Have we spent all year ignoring our gut?  Or marginalizing our gut?   This is the gift of Pisces when our gut comes up from some unknown place and speaks to us.  Or more to the point it could have been talking to us all year but now we listen to it.

Curiously, Neptune who rules Pisces is on top of the Moon pulling ever so much harder towards understanding the things that can’t be understood.  For three days we may be tugged by emotions.   Stories of victims whether it is in the news or it is close to home may be up for us to consider.  Our own emotions can feel stronger and maybe overwhelming.  Kindness and sensitivity could take center stage while the Sun in Virgo trine Pluto in Capricorn strengthens our ability to serve a greater cause.  We find empowerment quickly when we need it.  If you find yourself depressed or sad let the emotion course through you for sure but don’t be victimized by your own emotion.  Instead treat it like waves or tides that may comes crashing or pulling but it will also recede.   This is the power of water.   If you have trouble feeling grounded than use the power of Sun in Virgo trine Pluto and take care of your to-do list.  Or make sure you are being of service somewhere.  Take care of your body.  The truth is that a boat will serve us all during the Pisces full moon and the rudder on the boat is taking care of your body and being of service.


And of course remember the saying--- “All things will come to pass”  This is truth.

Mercury Direct September 5

The shit show is over.
Possibly one of the hardest Mercury retrogrades I can remember is fini.
September 5
7:29am EDT
28 Leo 25

Are we done being wound up and insecure and neurotic?   Probably not but did we learn a lot about the power of finding our self esteem since this nonsense began on August 12?

Go back to the solar eclipse on August 21.  What came up?  Was it about love & power?   What is your brain telling you now about love, empowerment and bravery?   If you weren't ready back then to get your authenticity on are you up to to move the switch now?

How is drama working?     Look back to Aug 12 and assess what you have learned.

I'm pretty sure we all agree it has been one strange trip.

Astrology This Week







Hello Friends!

This week starts with Mars crossing the eclipse point on September 3.    Look to see if you are compelled by anger or your inner warrior engages on something that may have been a passing thought back on August 21st but now you are on fire about it.    If we don’t feel it personally we will probably see it in the news.   Warrior Mars in Leo is looking for real stand up heroes.  Not people who play heroes.    Mars in Leo is looking for authentic leaders an in fact will rally and cherish those who are just real.  People who are fakers will be in our sights and it is not pretty.   Curiously on the 3rd Mars & Mercury get on top of each other so the mind is moving fast and the tongue is a wee bit sharp while hitting that eclipse point.   September 3 will be kind of potent. 

On September 5, Mercury turns direct.   Dear lord I thought this period would never end.   Separate post to come.

Then on September 6 we have the Pisces Full Moon is yet another call back to the eclipse on August 21st.   Emphasis is on faith and spirit.   What is that thing that connects us all together and to something bigger than ourselves?    Things we can’t see or feel or touch or hear or taste---but yet they are there, we only ‘know’ it. Or trust it.   More to come and a separate post to follow. 

We moved into Gibbous Moon on September 2…

Gibbous:
We refine our information.  We pick and choose, we discriminate, and we organize to be ‘Virgo’ like.  We sort through details.  Have we missed something?  How are we sifting through the information?  Go back and make sure something hasn’t been neglected.  Refine our actions. 


Focus on:
What are you neglecting that speaks to your inner CEO? Where are you a professional and have you been missing something about that part of your nature?  What are you neglecting that which speaks to your industrial nature?  How are you neglecting the ability to Move UP the ladder?  Is there an inner beef?   How have you moved through insecurities?  Is there more work to do? 

Special Focus:

9/2: Mars trine Uranus:  Creative & dynamic energy that motivates big action.
9/3:  Mercury conjunct Mars.  The mind is quick might be moving a bit too fast.  Watch thy tongue.  
9/4:  Sun oppose Neptune.  Illusion is up, mysticism and faith are under it. 
9/5: Mars enters Virgo
9/5: Mercury stations direct (see above) 7:29am  28 Leo 25

Keeping Our Focus Out For These Dates



Monday's total eclipse of the Sun was mega big.  Got it.    But take note---the eclipse will have more action going forward as there will be planetary action pushing up to the degree of the eclipse.  

September 3 - Mars crosses eclipse degree of 29 Leo 
September 5 - Mercury Direct at the 29 degree of Leo 
September 18-Venus crosses eclipse degree of 29 Leo 
November 20 -Sun squares eclipse degree of 29 Leo 


Saturn Direct August 25

Temple of Saturn --Brittanica 

Saturn stations direct
August 25, 8:08am EDT
21 Sagittarius 10

Saturn is turning direct just a few days after the new moon.  Wow.  Spirit is really getting our attention that we can do something if we want to do it.  Saturn has been in Sag for about two years and it will be wrapping up its journey this year and will be moving into Capricorn at the end of December.    Saturn will not return to Sagittarius for about 27 years.   Will I still be on earth?  Gosh, who knows but if I am I will be as old as dirt.   The point is we should all make the most of Saturn in Sagittarius.   With Sag we are visionaries.  We see solutions and see bridges that take us from one place to another.  We find faith in churches and places that are holy.   We find faith in education.  We find faith in rules and orders and we find faith in our judgment.  Although, if we are not walking our talk we will be slapped by the universe for our hypocrisy.  And perhaps when Saturn turned retrograde on April 6 we have been dealing with hurdle after hurdle.   Is some of the hurdles popping up by our own hand?  Have we messed up and been full of our self (bad Sag) or have we had to just slow down and really think if the thing we are pursuing is really in sync with our beliefs.   Whatever has been coming up consider it a new day after Saturn turns direct on August 25th.  Our engines will rev up and hopefully we will make the most of Saturn’s final days in Sag.

This Week in Astrology


It is Wednesday which is of course halfway through the week but when a week begins with a total eclipse of the sun it is hard to keep everything on the radar.   With that in mind, here's the bleeps for your radar screen. 


Leo New Moon
28 Leo 52  
August 21, 2017
2:30pm EDT

New moon: Plant seeds, make calls, activate, start projects.   Activate something that will ideally lead you to more.  This is the phase where INTENT is critical.  Even if the results are not immediate, the intent is there.  You may not have all the answers or road map but you should put out your Intent.  You can read about NEW MOON here. 


This focus:  Where are your passions?  What makes you feel alive?  How can you plant seeds that speak to your heart, your creativity, your dramatic and daring nature?    How can you put the shy wall flower away for awhile?   Perhaps that is not serving you.   Where do you need to be bold?  And what is YOUR truth.   Find it. 


Special focus
8/22: Mars trine Saturn:  Actions with structures build something strong
8/22: Sun enter Virgo
8/24: Venus square Uranus.  Love and values get an electric shock.  Disruptions in money and love. 

Crescent Moon Phase
August 25, 4:56am EDT

Focus on: What are you learning about partnership?  What are you learning about relationships? What are you learning about balance?  What are you learning about negotiating?   What are you learning about fairness? 

Special focus:
8/25:  Saturn stations direct 8:08am EDT  (see separate post)
8/25: Venus enters Leo
8/26: Sun conjunct Mercury
