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.
