5 Virgo 23

 

The new Moon that launched two weeks ago marked the beginning of the Aquarius lunar month.   On one hand this cycle is no big deal.  Afterall, we get Aquarius once a year.  But this year is different because now mighty, transformative, and powerful Pluto is in Aquarius, and we are all experiencing this intensity together in real time.   How have you been experiencing this waxing moon? Are you feeling the centrifugal Pluto forces beginning to rev up?  It may be subtle but still the beat is showing up.    Now at the full moon we may need a healing that can come with a Virgo full moon.  Especially if Pluto has been pushing on us for some evolution.  

 

The Sun in Pisces likes to keep things flowing, it does not like harsh lines.  Pisces lives in gray.  Black and white are too crisp for Pisces.   Pisces wants to get lost in a movie or music or art.   It wants to dream its reality.   On the other side of zodiac, Virgo likes to dot the I and cross the T.  On any Virgo full moon there is a balancing act between leaning into the Pisces cosmos and letting everything just flow and the competing desire to clean everything up and get organized.    At the Virgo full moon, we strive order.  We want our calendars to make sense.  We want a budget that make sense.  We want to move our body.  We want to eat well.  We want our vitamins.   And above all if our brain is in a complete frenzy, we want it to quiet the eff up.   

 

On this chart, the Sun in Pisces in conjunction with Mercury and Saturn opposes the Virgo full moon.    This is a full moon with a lot of responsibilities.   Checking off every item on the To-Do list we’ll make us feel like Olympic gold medal champions.  At the same time, Saturn has Pisces Sun in a harness, and it has Virgo’s ruler, Mercury in the same lasso.  It would seem that neither Pisces or Virgo is controlling the narrative this full moon.  They must relegate that work to Saturn.  One good point to Saturn is that the squirrel-chaotic-frenzy brain may not be as pronounced as it normally is in Virgo full moon.   There could be some depression or ennui but just as likely the brain craves unplugging from the fritz.  Situations that would normally get us worked up just don’t seem worthy of the ‘worked upness’.     Saturn, of course the task master will set up a lot of grind for us to do. But perhaps this grind of showing up and doing the thing that maybe we didn’t even know we were going to do when we woke up in the morning is a gift.   How we approach our responsibilities and or challenges will impact our psyche.   Not the other way around.   This could be healing.    

There are also opportunities brought to us by Jupiter who is trine the Moon and sextile the sun.   Jupiter speaks to religion, education philosophy and things that are foreign.   This is a great full moon to get a fresh perspective.  Get out of our usual comfort zones and stretch.    There also could be additional practical resources that come into play that we may not have considered until we had a change in perspective.   Watch for any subtle shifts and above all tap Saturn in Pisces conjunct Sun & Mercury which knows the importance of faith and intuition.   If needed, break glass and get both.

On Our Radar. Mars and Venus and Pluto.

 

On Our Radar 

As we figure out this new placement of Pluto in Aquarius we will be informed by any aspects to Pluto from the inner planets.   There are two in the Aquarius lunar month.    

 

Feb 13 Mars conjunction Pluto. O Aquarius 46 This can be a VERY problematic aspect.   Reminder from earlier report.   Back in mid-September last year I generated the Virgo new moon report.  At that time, I wrote this: 

“Special focus 10/8: Mars square Pluto.  Misguided wars or warriors can be troublesome in global and personal worlds.” 

 

Obviously, what transpired was the attack by Hamas on Israel on 10/7.   Now here we are at the next installment of Mars and Pluto.  While there could be a follow up on what occurred in Israel, to be clear that aspect had an eclipse and Pluto stationing direct all near the Mars/Pluto date.   This one on Feb 13, feels forceful, disruptive, and big but a bit different from last October.  There is a desire to be authentic for sure and a streak of independence that could be more juiced than needed.   It does have an explosive nature, but it could be more explosive in thought or an event that brings out intense thinking and conversation.   It could be something so weird that we are left with our mouths gaping.   Mars will continue in its journey in Aquarius for five weeks and there can be a lot of energy with friends and groups.  And maybe a skirmish or two in the mix.  Breathe.  Breath always helps with air signs.

 

Feb 17 Venus conjunction Pluto.   Venus the planet of love forms a conjunction with Pluto once a year.   This is where the power of love or the love of power show up.   In the sign of Aquarius, the love and joy and the art of valuing something that is different is empowering.   Odd and weird and the humanity call to us.   For others obsessiveness, controlling, manipulating others through love is probably not welcomed.    Just sayin’

Aquarius New Moon

20 Aquarius 41 

Feb 9, 2024 2:59pm PST 

Arguably this can be one of the most profound Aquarius New Moons in our lifetime.   There is a lot of opportunity and possiblity of this 29 day cycle being a wild weird ride.   Out of the blue events or moments in our personal lives and definitely in the world.    We all signed up for this ride being incarnate at this time so I guess we are up for it.  :)  

Please read my report at Margaret Wendt Website.    Remember in case of emergency break glass and breathe.   Aquarius is an air sign and responds well to breath.  

  

All Planets Direct Jan 26 - April 1st

 

Image: Popular Mechanics 

January 26 - April 1, 2024 

On January 26 our final retrograde planet, Uranus, stationed direct.   Once he got his planet ass headed in the forward motion that meant that ALL planets are direct.   We may find things speeding up.  It may show up in the mundane world for all to see but that speed up could be relevant in our personal lives as well.   Maybe some hurdles evaporate or are easier to climb over.   Or some knowledge becomes available that had been cloaked.   Or resources become available.   Or perhaps we have a whole plan in place and we learn that a person, fact, agenda important to our plan is cracked maybe not as above board as we thought or perhaps just obsolete.  Watch what comes up between now and April 1st and make the most of the successes and opportunities.  Breathe and pivot to anything that may feel like a set back and consider if it might be fortuitous in the future. 

Pluto & Inner Planets 2024

 

This year we will be on alert especially for all the inner planets aspects to Pluto which is now situated in Aquarius most of the year.  It's a new sign for Pluto so we will start to learn about Pluto in his new digs by contacts with the inner planets.   The first one out of the gate is Mercury conjunction Pluto on Feb 5.  See if there is anything to glean in the news and or in our personal lives around that date that speak to Pluto in its new home.  Then the following week Mars forms a conjunction with Pluto on Feb 13.  This one has some explosive tendencies. 

Pluto intensifies, seeks depth, and will empower the intrinsic nature of the other planet.  In hard aspects (conjunction, square, opposition) Pluto brings out the broken and corrupt qualities of the inner planet.  In softer aspects (trines and sextile) Pluto strengthens the gifts of the inner planet and can empower in a new manner.    In both harsh and soft aspects Pluto brings a transformative moment, experience or awareness.     

 

Sun is ego, joy, self-expression, purpose, and motivation. 

Mercury is about communication, thinking, facts and logic. 

Venus is love, creativity, values, money, beauty and socializing.   

Mars is warrior, action, force, swiftness, desire and assertiveness.

Jupiter is bigness, exploration, foreign, teaching, philosophy, righteous, and religion. 

Saturn is structure, reduction, delay, authority, regulate and conservation.
