he full Moon in Virgo will happen on March 1, 2018 at 7:51 pm EST / 6:51 pm CST / 4:51 pm PST at 11 degrees of Virgo/Pisces. If you wish to act on releasing the full Moon energy and intentions, it is usually best to do so 24 hours after the exact phase (March 2, 2018 7:51 EST) Watch for the signs and symbolism presented to you, mirroring back messages from the Universe around the Virgo/Pisces themes discussed below. The Virgo full Moon originated from the Solar Eclipse in Aquarius which you can read about here. From this powerful new Moon comes the first full Moon thereafter in Virgo. This is also the last full Moon, before the Vernal Equinox. If we follow the rhythms of the Universe, a full Moon brings an awareness, a realization, a culmination, a completion, or a resolution within our lives around these themes before turning the energies outward to be disseminated, either to be applied to your life for further application or to be purged before the new Moon. In the deepest sense, Virgo/Pisces is a relationship between spirit and matter. The goal is to reach a balance between retreating and relaxing from the world so we can access our imagination, creativity, and be inspired by idyllic images or experiences of how we want life to be, infusing those impressions into our “mundane” everyday existence, and applying such things as writing lists, analyzing details, or structuring plans to make those dreams become our realities. Our task is to understand how the two work together in harmony, allowing us to create our ideal lives. You can think of this theme as “Heaven on Earth.” The Moon, with its inward emotional pull for gaining security, will feel the emotional need to be organized and pure. The Sun, in its outward expressions, will beckon us to see our dreams manifest in our outer realities and in the world at large. The age-old idiom “cleanliness is next to godliness” resonates at this time. Below are some additional Virgo/Pisces themes that can show up for evaluation:
Ruled by Mercury, Virgo is very logical, analytical and good a handling the details of our daily life. It is keen to the order of things by breaking things up into pieces to understand how things work and getting rid of what no longer is needed. Since the Moon is in Virgo, we will be emotionally driven to understand how Virgoan themes such as purification, cleanliness, detoxing, analyzing, details, order, meticulousness, and discrimination can help with managing our everyday lives, keeping our bodies healthy, our spaces clean and organized and our minds focused and alert to analyze facts and details. We may feel urges to start decluttering our environments, detoxing our systems, cleaning house, or starting a health regiment. These Virgo aspects will help us to feel more secure during this full Moon.

he Aquarius Partial Solar Eclipse will happen at 27 degrees Aquarius on Feb 15, 2018 at 6:55 UTC which is 1:55 pm EST / 12:55 pm CST / 10:55 am PST. If you have any planets at or near this degree of Aquarius, you will experience this solar eclipse more intensely than others. During a partial solar eclipse, the Earth, Sun, and Moon will not be totally aligned, they will be partially aligned and therefore, will visually look as though the Moon has taken a bite out of the Sun. It will be visible in Southern South America (Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay and Antarctica) and some areas of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Eclipses have an effect on us for up to 6 months, before the next set starts. Some individuals will feel it and see signs a month before the actual date or a month after. For those who are setting new intentions for this solar eclipse, it is best to act on them about 24 hours after the eclipse is exact (in this case, any time after 1:55 EST February 16th, 2018). During and around the exact phase, watch for any epiphanies or other cosmic messages you may receive. Keep your awareness high and be on the lookout for signs from the Universe! A New Moon in Aquarius: The eclipses open up portals of energy to help make big strides on our progressive journeys here on Earth. This is especially true with an eclipse in Aquarius! Change is needed for evolutionary adjustments and Aquarius rules over this change. A new Moon in Aquarius will help provide an objective outlook over your life so that you can make any changes you need to move forward. At best, we come to awareness in self-reflection, to proactively see the changes to be made, liberating us from any restrictive states, and gaining progress towards personal freedoms and happiness. Aquarius energy is “fixed” energy, meaning once you create this change, it can have long lasting effects. Fixed energy is great at sustaining consistency, stability, and loyalty. If you are feeling stuck during this eclipse, realize it is calling attention to move beyond the blocks in your life. If we have become too set in our ways, Uranus, the Aquarian change agent, can bring disruption or even sudden upsets to break up any stuck or unconscious energy to keep progress moving towards spiritual development. The universe rewards us when are proactive about seeing the changes we need to make in life. If this change has to do with a social or humanitarian cause, all the better because Aquarius is the sign of THE REVOLUTION and HUMANITARIAN! Aquarius energy also stimulates democracy, science, technology, inventions, innovation, progressiveness, friends, networks and our hopes and dreams (for ourselves and for the betterment of the world) to name a few. It is also forward thinking and unconventional in its approach. Look for ways you can apply these Aquarian aspects to your life over the next 6 months. Love is the way forward! Moon conjunct the North Node in Leo - Looking within ourselves and leading from the heart
This lunar eclipse is asking us is to look inwards at ourselves into our hearts. and express what makes our hearts sing. Leo rules: LOVE, the heart, courage, bravery, INNER STRENGTH, nobility, being noble, LEADERSHIP (through the heart), CONFIDENCE, taking charge, being in the spotlight, CREATIVITY, self-expression, special talents, CHILDREN, (our inner child), warmth and generosity, ROMANCE, passions, risk-taking, play, recreational activities and FUN. We are being asked to build our spiritual power with the inward, lunar, feminine aspects by:
So, you may ask yourself:
If not, why not? This is what the North Node in Leo is calling to you. Now is your time to get in touch with all these Leo traits in your life. Doing so with the feminine aspects, by turning inward, is the best way to use the energy. When it comes to the heart, fear can get in the way, and we will talk about that next. Sun conjunct South Node in Aquarius – Evaluating our traumas and fears Aquarius rules: The MIND, groups of like-minded people, the MASSES or society at large, the news and SOCIAL MEDIA, the humanitarian, social activism, the REVOLUTION, the unique individual, inventions, ingenuity, INNOVATION, out- of-the-box thinking, objectivity, the FUTURE, the new-age, space age, and TECHNOLOGY to name a few. When the South Node is conjunct the Sun it represents releasing the aspects of our lives that keep us disconnected from our spirit. When we live from this disconnected place we can become ego-driven, arrogant, self-absorbed, controlling, and impatient, have entitlement complexes, be overly dramatic, project our shadow sides onto others, or express raging fits of our will to get our needs met. The eclipse is asking us to release these energies from our psyches. Negatively, Aquarius is unpredictability, chaos and trauma since it is ruled by Uranus. Uranus is considered the great “disrupter,” “revolutionary,” “or liberator.” In the most extreme cases, its energy can feel like a powerful bolt of lightning striking our lives and results in a shock to our emotional and nervous systems. The trauma can feel so overwhelming to our psyches, that it makes it very hard to process the event and understand how to recover from it. Therefore, the resulting symptoms are typically confusion, disbelief, denial, anxiety, fear, trouble concentrating, anger, mood swings or PTSD. There are a great many people suffering from some type of emotional trauma in their lives. The hardest trauma to recover from happens when we are children when we are still learning how to be human, unable to process logic and emotions as well as an adult can. We can begin to look back and ask ourselves if there has been anything in our lives as children that we have denied or suppressed in order to move on. Are there any circumstances that we should go back to and understand, so that we can appropriately heal from it, so we can live more fully though the heart? We can also experience current traumas in our lives such as a car crash, the death of a loved one, losing the job you loved, or experiencing the betrayal of someone you placed trust in. There is still a lot of trauma happening within our societies broadcasted every day on the news from war, sexual assault in Hollywood, world-wide child pedophilia rings, and an opioid and prescription drug crisis to name a few. During the eclipse, we may be asked to evaluate our personal and collective traumas. Are we coping with trauma by being overly detached and distant from our inner security and hearts, by displaying dissociation (PTSD), having fears, phobias or anxiety, creating social isolation, lacking healthy objectivity and taking everything personally, being rebellious or the rebel without a cause, or the know it all and not needing any advice? Where you have 11 degrees of Aquarius is where you might be manifesting these more negative traits to be released in your life during this eclipse. Look to see what is in and on your 11th house and its ruler and where Uranus is as well to find more clues. When understanding the experience of a Lunar eclipse, you can begin to think of them as a very powerful Full Moon. Solar/Lunar eclipses are super charged and intensified portals of energy, so the events that unfold from them can help us make significant changes in our lives. Below are some guidelines I like to use to help understand, them indicating how they can play out in our lives, and how to come out of it like a rock star and helping others along the way! Every eclipse season is a time where we have the ability to jump into energetic fields which support us on our evolutionary paths or our soul’s journey. These changes can be gradual or drastic, unexpected, or sudden. They can work in a variety of ways and most often will bring a twist of events that you may not expect or create a temporary, short term block which can feel emotionally frustrating in the moment. Eclipses can be very much like a wild card and surprise even the most centered of individuals. Its effects may often feel like a “crisis” in the areas of life it touches. It is helpful to keep in mind that eclipses not only affect you, but those you interact with, and the world at large, so you may hear of monumental events taking place, or be called upon to help others deal with the changes. Most often, eclipses can work from the outside in, meaning that an outside event that you feel you have no control over, or has nothing to do with you, may trigger something deep inside you and affect you in a powerful way. It may provide whatever is needed to stir up the energy and get us moving in another direction - a hindrance, rival, critic, competitor, recognition, funding, a realization, success, a project completion, something that will get us to think, decide, motivate, direct or change us. They often will change the status of a situation or seek the weak link to be exposed, so adjustments can be made. Since they involve the Moon’s energy, they sometimes will affect the women in your life: a mother, wife, sister, friend or child. They are brilliant illuminators in revealing someone’s true character, motivations, or revealing a “dark” side you don’t often get to see in someone. It is especially important to stay grounded, centered and try not to make a knee-jerk reaction to people or events. Emotions can be at an all-time high, especially if changes occur suddenly, without much notice. The eclipses can usher in a lot of shifting activity and are catalysts for major life decisions. Over reacting emotionally can get the best of us during this time and making empty threats or issuing ultimatums are not a good idea. Try not to be too quick to judge something as “good” or “bad” as it can take some time before the dust settles and you have a better understanding of all the events that are happening. Remember, others are shifting and dealing with this energy too. That said, any major life decisions or discussions you want to initiate without much forethought is better done at least two weeks before or after. If you are presented with an offer of some type and need to make a quick decision, try to take time to think carefully about it. A quick response is usually needed, so it is best to plan ahead, keeping a flexible schedule and an open mind to remaining spiritually grounded and nimble. A Lunar eclipse can also mark an ending or culmination point or bring closure or completion. At times they can remove a person or aspect of your life you thought you needed or relied on and this can feel drastic. Once it has been purged, it can be extremely difficult to “fight” the eclipse in getting it back. For example, if a breakup occurs, a job loss, a source of emotional support or income. It is best to realize it was meant to be for your greater good and keep your peace in moving on. Let it all go into the winds of the eclipse portal. The Solar eclipse is looking to fill you with what you need. The Moon energy is about purging and renewal, death and rebirth. If events become challenging, wait and look for a silver lining. It could become very zen in its meaning and turn a “horrible” situation into a blessing in retrospect, while others can bring an outright gift, opportunity or good news. Look forward to what will come next, now that the space has been cleared. There may be an opportunity down the road to understand it clearer without all of the emotionally charged energy. The events that happen around the time of the eclipses can sometimes test your faith in staying centered on the path of spiritual awareness, recognizing the deeper meaning, messages, and lessons behind the experiences it brings. They can test your faith in yourself, help you overcome fears, prove to you that you do have the capability and strength to do the things you never thought you could do! The Universe is trying to help you make huge leaps in your evolutionary advancement. They are meant to move us from one level of emotional maturity to another, sometimes very rapidly. Eclipses have a way of changing perspectives. Being prepared to harness it and make it work for you always works best verses feeling like the Universe is against you during this time. So, take note of all that goes on during this time as there are messages floating around for you to assimilate into your life for the better. Meditation, yoga, reiki, massages, nature, spas, retreats etc. can be especially helpful during this time in helping you prepare and deal with the energies. Anything that allows you to de-stress so you are less inclined to react emotionally. Watch your health and your body-mind-spirit connection. Taking deep breaths and remaining centered and balanced is the best thing you can do to help yourself and others manage through the currents of this energy. Happy Full Moon Lunar Eclipse blessings to you! May it harness the full expression of your soul! |
