Full Moon in Pisces! Just Remember it's a Grand Illusion...

Greetings Fellow Metaphysicians!   
                       

We have a Dreamy Full Moon in Pisces, on Sunday, August 26th, at 7:55 a.m., eastern time.

Ahhhh...the soothing and cool silky waves of mystical, magical Neptune and Pisces.  Mmmmm......can you feel it?  Forget about the tears and the heartache for one minute. The Moon in Pisces is a dreamer moon. Dream of beautiful, fantastical adventures in the faraway reaches of your psyche and soul.  Imagine for one night there is healing in the mist.  You catch a ride on a rainbow and a slide on a moonbeam.  You catch a glimpse of the grand kite in the sky and you hop on as they whisper, "Join us, this is where you want to be."  You feel like dancing, singing, laughing, and soaring. Oh, if only this feeling would last a bit longer...it's so lovely.  It's so refreshing....you need it so. Let the watery Neptunian teardrops fall.  Feel the liquidy cleansing.  All those dreary and gloomy thoughts seem to vanish when you imagine your dreams and will them to be so.


The breaking news in this moon is the extraordinary Kite formation (see image below).  The Kite, in this instance, is a Grand Trine (or mystic triangle) with a sextile connection added to complete a kite pattern between the Moon, Uranus, Saturn, and the Sun.  The kite, during a full moon, is an especially  amazing configuration of sensational energy to grab hold of.  But you need the back bone, the structure, or the "pole"of the kite, so to speak, to hold the thing together and let it fly.  In this case, the backbone of the kite is the opposition of the Sun in Virgo and the Moon in Pisces. 
Uranus and Saturn, connecting this to the Pisces Moon, are also in earth  signs, and the earth signs are what make up the grand trine portion of the kite.  Little Pisces has latched on for a cosmic ride and having so much fun, but with the stability of earth.  Jupiter in Scorpio is intercepting this kite, reaching for Neptune in Pisces (kind of like the string that you hold onto attached to the kite so it doesn't fly away), allowing for the navigation to support and guide the Piscean wanderlust so it doesn't drift off to never-neverland.  Now that is a mouthful, but quite sensational in its reality. 

Jupiter and Neptune are 2 peas in a pod, best friends and soul mates, the two adventurers together  dreaming, planning, and soaring.  Jupiter says, "C'mon, C'mon, let's go, hurry, hurry!"  Neptune says, "Really? Do you think so?  Do you think I can? I want to so badly..." Jupiter says, "Sure, it will be fine, it will be good."  And so it is.

 As human beings on this rocky earthy land, we need this moon.  We need it not only for the dreamy, spiritual, metaphysical, and creative energy, but we need it for the grounding earth energy.  We need to dream our dreams, feel our feelings, connect to spirit, make magic and see those dreams come true.  But we also need to walk the earth and deal with the ground beneath our feet.  Isn't it nice, though, to know we can do both?  That is the partnership between Saturn and Uranus.  The steadfast, strict, karmic lessons of Saturn and the revolutionary, electric, impulsive, thrilling energy of Uranus have joined forces to offer a journey of spiritual ascension.  This is it.  Blessings will be bestowed. But you must, you must, acknowledge the caution mixed with the illusions of Neptune and Jupiter.  Hold onto that string.  Be grateful for the backbone that protects us, but yet allows the kite to fly

The big planets are still retrograde, allowing us to not only see the past, but see how far we have come.  What will you take with you into the future?  What will you leave behind?   Little fiesty Mars will be going direct August 27th, allowing relief to begin from the inner rumblings and the outer temper tantrums.  Give it a couple of months to allow for the healing.  Grandfather Saturn has been working over-time for a long time.  He is there to make sure we walk that line.  Venus in Libra is making a nice aspect to newly direct Mercury in Leo.  Finally, we get to see love and luxury take a break from the grueling grind.  For now, anyway.  Venus will go retrograde on October 5th (the day Mars leaves the shadow side, thankfully), until November 16th.  As Venus will be in Scorpio, well what can I say? Beware of the Scorpion mystery, to say the least, and the Scorpio intensity, at the most. 

Beware the square between Mars and Uranus, direct or not, it will be there for awhile.  Venus is headed for an opposition to Uranus soon. It will last awhile.  Lay low.  Try to stay out of the line, if you can.  The good energy is still there, so you won't be deserted completely. 

But again, this is a good moon, a beautiful, a dreamer's  moon.  Enjoy your full moon weekend.

-This is a time for artistic, creative, spiritual endeavors.
-It is also the time for water healing, for spiritual healing.  
-Set aside your self, and help to heal others.
-Help to heal the wounded, the abused, the lonely, the abandoned.
-Do something nice for those people in the medical field. 
-Take care of the animals. 
-Go outside in the moonlight.  Feel the liquidy moon on your body and soul.
-Pray. Give thanks.
-Remember.  A dream lives on forever.

Extraordinary New Moon & Solar Eclipse in Leo! Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me...

Greetings Fellow Metaphysicians!

We have a very extraordinary New Moon & Partial Solar Eclipse in Leo, on Saturday, August 11th, at 5:57 a.m., edt. 

This is, rightfully so,  the grand finale of a very, very tumultuous "triple threat" eclipse season these past summer weeks.  It has been unique, transforming, and yes, extremely challenging.  Now is the time to bring closure to the phenomenon with a dramatic and enlightening conclusion.  The first solar eclipse of the event was in Cancer, the sign of personal awareness.  The second lunar eclipse was in Aquarius, the sign of the collective vision.  This third and final solar eclipse is in Leo, the sign of projection, a very fitting denouement of a very enlightening final act.  The show is over.  Take a bow...Take what you have experienced and move on to a bright and extraordinary future...

How much better can you get with the Sun and Moon in Leo?  Leo is love, light, creativity, and generosity.  What a magnificent opportunity this is to ride off into the sunrise (and sunset) with our newly polished souls!  There will be moments of shadows up until the turning of the new moon, with final awareness  of transformation.  The purging, releasing, transforming have all been completed in our souls and lives.  Turn your face to the Sun.  Let go of the old ways that have roped and tied you to the chains of your psyches.  The ways that hurt you. The ways that were broken.  The ways that trapped you.


There is a new way....it will feel somewhat uncomfortable....at first.....healing broken hearts, minds, and spirits can be a shock and "painful" process to endure.  It is tough to admit we unwittingly adapt over long stretches of time to bondage, addictions, entrapment.  Does that mean we have to lay down our lives, our selves, and pack it up and walk away?  Not at all.  But there is a new way.  There are new ways.  Recognize what wasn't working...accept the resolution....and move on....into the light!  That is the purpose of the solar eclipse, the New Moon in Leo.  Because we have 6, count them, 6 planets in retrograde (not to mention Chiron and Lilith), it has almost at times felt like grueling agony to get past the brick walls of our souls.  The past has been thrown in our faces...  As always though, and as I have stated previously, if you have done the work, so bestowed by your own personal karma, you will have ended gracefully.  Also, as these eclipses have been about the personal and the collective, we must concern ourselves with, not only our selves and our loved ones, but also the greater good and the universe.   There are a lot of souls out there...  But we can show each other the way, we can show ourselves the way, day after day....

The Moon and Sun and Mercury retrograde in Leo, all tightly cuddling up next to each other, will remind you to think it through, learn as you go, and be patient...Most importantly, think before you speak and pause before you act.  Try to make this your mantra. With the squaring aspects and the in-conjuncts of these three to major planets, you may feel a confusing and uncomfortable disconnect.  Some things just don't seem to budge.  Be patient, again.  It will make itself  known.  That rebel of the sky right now, Mars retrograde, is still causing a stir in the collective, as we have known for awhile.  The square with Uranus (newly retrograde) may just jolt and bolt a few triggers in your lives, so hang on....help is on it's way with good old Saturn acting as an anchor (especially if you have been true to the ethics and morals of earthly life's requirements).

The beauty of a trine between Neptune and Jupiter will stir your creative and fantastical yearnings, regardless of the challenging aspects, to allow you to hope, dream, and eventually manifest those very yearnings.  Venus is experiencing a quagmire right now, giving way to an up and coming retrograde, so we are not quite exactly on the fast track yet in her goals of love and luxury.  Saturn is forcing you to square up to your love relationships and your lifestyles. No slouching or skimming.  Keep your standards and integrity high, be true to your honor.  All in all, and in the end, it will be very clear....eventually.....what this has been all about.  You most likely already know.  This has been an incomparable eclipse season. 

As far as setting intentions, it is best to settle in with this massive energy.  A good time to start if you want to work on relationships, while the Moon goes into Libra, is on August 14th, after 1:00 a.m.  If your goal is to work on deep transformation and metamorphosis, the best time is when the Moon goes into Scorpio, on August 16th, after 5:00 a.m.  If you're wanting to catapult your creative and philanthropic projects, as well as artistic and travel yearnings, the best time is when the Moon goes into Sagittarius, on August 18th, at 12:45 p.m. 






Have a happy ending to a phenomenal eclipse season of 2018!
