Hi everyone!
We’re still all at sea with so many planets still in Pisces! We’re
awash with emotion flushing out all the toxins!
However, this week the Full Moon in Virgo will give us the
opportunity to ground some of this emotional energy.
Mind you, the moon is all emotion, memory and the unconscious, so
we’re still working with big emotional energies, but Virgo earth energy is
giving some form and substance to all these emotions.
We just need to keep coming back to the earthy, practical thinking
and acting of the Virgo energies.
What’s happening:
Water energy, emotion as well as the higher
spiritual energies taking us to the rainbow of fulfilment!
We’ve still got the planetary line-up in
watery emotional energies, mostly Pisces but Scorpio’s a strong force with us
long term!
In Pisces:
Inspiring, healing and flowing!
Keep focussed
on positive higher energies!
Sun, Neptune, Chiron, Mercury and Mars. Venus will be joining them
this week!
In Scorpio:
Owning our personal authority, aligning with planetary
evolution/direction...staying on course!
Saturn, North Node of the Moon
Give up all resistance and
fighting:
We’re learning to allow things to take their course and floating
along
Floating and dreaming, keeping our head above water, letting the
water and currents take us where we need to be
If you’re getting' ‘tormented’/stressed, you’re resisting, not
allowing...pull back, slow down, relax and allow things to unfold.
Beware, that’s ‘be aware’ of some of the Piscean
pitfalls...
Pisces rules limitation, imprisonment, self-sabotage, subconscious,
past lives, the collective unconscious and mass emotions
falling into limitation, limited thinking
falling back into pain and suffering
falling into fear, doubt, insecurity
feeling overwhelmed by irrational emotions, ‘memories’, lost
aspects, lost souls
feeling ‘sucked in’ by mass outpourings of emotion
If you’re starting to feel overwhelmed,
do some cleansing.
Remember: Pisces connects us all emotionally so
we feel everyone’s emotions. Cleanse emotionally and often. Whatever works for
you. Follow your instinct.
I find ‘toning’/singing
is good for me as it brings the power into the throat and sends my vibrations
through the whole body. Clearing in nature is great too.
Keep bringing the light
in through the top of the head and the chakras with the breath work. Water,
swimming and incense is good. Most of you know this, but we need to remain
extra vigilant with so much Pisces energy seemingly inundating us.
23rd February:
Mercury turns retrograde at 8.41 pm AEDT at
19 degrees Pisces 41 until 18th March
...into the retrograde
‘carwash’!
We’ve been slowing down for about a week and the retrograde energy
kicked in yesterday, so we’re in it!
Go with the flow, expect the unexpected, be flexible, be prepared
to change your mind, often more than once and avoid making any big decisions
till after the event, 18th March or even later. Retrogrades are all about
‘cleaning up our acts’, polishing up, reviewing, revisiting etc.
Re-treading the grapes...revisiting old territory: think positively about the
possibilities!
Always a possibility that anything, anyone, an issue or an
opportunity from the past can reappear...unfinished business,
reconnecting
Work on, revisit ‘old’ projects, prepare
for new ones: We’re reviewing, revisiting, resurrecting ‘old’ ideas,
projects, possibilities, directions, plans etc. It’s a good time for gathering
data, researching information in preparation for getting moving after Mercury
retrograde period.
Mercury goes direct 18th March: Life will be getting a
boost along when Mercury goes direct! The Sun moves into Aries/Equinox is on
20th!
Mercury’s direct movement will be about a week after the New Moon
in Pisces and two days before the Equinox when the Sun moves into Aries. It
will be an auspicious time for getting things on the go so make sure you’ve done
the groundwork in these next few weeks so you’ll be ready for lift-off with the
Equinox.
Like the two Pisces fish swimming
in opposite directions, two ways this energy could manifest:
we’re working
with both energies
confusion, muddle, illusion...the challenge is ‘what is the truth’,
letting go of traditional problem solving through logical and rational thinking
processes
and/or
inspiration, heart/mind connection...the opportunity is being in a
relaxed and ‘open’ state to imagination and creativity
Losing your mind????:
We’re been getting a mind makeover
and there’s even more to come with Mercury retrograding in Pisces
This is mind healing energy! If you think your mind’s been off the
planet, you’re right on track.
Mercury in Pisces is taking us to a whole new place of thinking,
communicating and yes, reasoning. We are being taught to ‘think with our
hearts’ in the only way real learning takes place...practice!
Get clarity, stop thinking: “I
can’t get my head round this’ may be a familiar experience just recently with
all the Pisces energy. We’re learning to access our communications, words from
the centre of our being, our heart energy.
Relax, relax, relax: Consciously turn off the
mind and relax, do something relaxing...meditate, contemplate, be in nature, get
in the water, paint, listen to/make music, dance
Healing our mental ‘madness’: Our nervous
systems, monkey minds are learning new ways of being
Cut the ties with stress, mental chatter, nervous tension, anxiety
and all the other ‘mind’ controls
‘Sea mail’
applies with potential slowdowns in the following areas:
Communication of all kinds:
phones, the web, electronic communications...spoken and written,
personal, business
Misinformation will be
even more challenging than usual as Pisces lends to fantasy, dreaminess,
illusion, lies
Travel of all kinds:
breakdowns, traffic jams, missed appointments, times, delays,
directions, bookings
Commerce, business:
possible delays in ‘deals’, agreements, contracts, documentation,
any commercial transactions like banking etc.
Risk management for the retrograde period: slow down,
breathe, take your time
Listen more carefully to
yourself as well as others
Be clear on all details
Double check all arrangements, all documents, all
agreements
Check vehicles, maps, directions, meeting places, bookings on
flights, hotels etc
Keep your mobile phone charged, check battery, keep it with you
when travelling.
26th February:
Full Moon in Virgo at 7.26 am AEDT at 7
degrees Virgo
...listen to the call to your path of
‘service’
With so many planets in Pisces, along with the Sun, there’s a
likelihood you may be feeling overwhelmed, especially at this Full Moon.
There’s a kind of madness around Full Moons as unconscious emotional energies
and buried emotions are brought to the surface. With this Full Moon we’re full
of the seething energies of the past, both individual and collective.
Jupiter in Gemini is challenging the Sun and Full Moon:
expanding emotional energy, challenging us to balance!
Jupiter expands everything which is great if you’re feeling
positive. However, there is the potential for the Piscean energies to pull us
back to old emotions, behaviours related to the past...e.g.victimhood,
martyrdom, suffering, pain, limitation. Being in a Mercury retrograde which is
in Pisces, this is very likely as we’re re-treading ‘old grapes’.
Release the emotions, grounding through practical,
earthy activities. Start planning your positive future. Know that how you’re
feeling isn’t just about YOU! Go for a walk, dance, sing, remind yourself you
have a physical body!
Jupiter in
Gemini:
higher wisdom calling us...going beyond Twitter! Stop the chatter and go
deep and meaningful!
Jupiter in Gemini at 7
degrees will be squaring/challenging the Sun and Full Moon in a T-square
formation. It’s a challenge and an opportunity to lift our game, to go beyond
shallow thinking, communicating and connecting.
The missing leg of the T
square will be in Sagittarius,(Jupiter is its ruler), which makes this our focus
for dealing with the challenge reinforcing the Sagittarian message – expand
thinking, knowledge, communication, vision and get in touch with your inner
wisdom.
Listen to the messages at this full moon: our path of
‘service’, our destiny is illuminated and calling us
Virgo is an earth energy,
asking us to follow our path of service, to commit to our calling. The Full Moon is illuminating our path of service, our path of
destiny if we are ready to listen to the communication from our unconscious.
It’s always the case at a Full Moon, but this time the messages are particularly
powerful as Mercury and Chiron, both rulers of Virgo, are working with the Sun
(our identity, who we are in the world) in Pisces.
The Sun in Pisces opposite the Full Moon:
Receiving the ‘vision’ of ourselves
in the world and how to bring it into reality
The Full Moon lights up a vision of our path forward and the means
for bringing that vision into reality. With Mercury just gone retrograde, we
need to hold off acting on these visions in any major way.
Wait till just after 18th March to strike out in new directions.
This is a time of receiving the messages, collecting data,
research.
Uplifted
heart: Venus in Aquarius will be close to Neptune in Pisces lifting
our heart energies into a whole new spiritual healing space.
Healing:
dissolving the ‘wounds’ of body, mind and
spirit
Going with the flow and allowing will maximize
the cleansing of all the ‘clag’ which has been holding us back.
Big emotional and spiritual healing, releasing ‘wounds’ from the
physical body as Chiron (the wounds/the body) chummies up to the Sun
The physical body, the masculine energy and the mind all in
the healing dissolving power of Pisces: Mars and Mercury in
Pisces
Mars(body, masculine energy) and Mercury (the mind) travelling
together, both in Pisces are further away from the Full Moon are reinforcing the
watery emotional Piscean power behind this Full Moon.
From Cathy
Pagano’s Full Moon Report:
At the moment, Pisces is full of diverse energies—the Sun’s search
for purpose, Neptune’s spiritual vision, Chiron’s healing touch, Mars’ desire to
stand for the Light, Mercury’s dreaming Mind and soon after this Full Moon,
Venus’ compassionate Love and Wisdom.
Sabian symbols from Cathy Pagano
at: http://www.wisdom-of-astrology.com/astrostarsarticles/the-cosmic-story-virgo-full-moon-2013
The Sabian symbol for the Sun at 8* Pisces is:
A
girl blowing a bugle. Dane Rudhyar, in his Astrological
Mandala, sees this symbol as ‘a call to participate in the service of the
race, as an evolutionary crisis approaches’. It is a young woman, a virgin, who
sounds the call, because it is Feminine
Spirit who leads us to rebirth. As we
develop our wholeness, uniting the right and left sides of the brain, we can be
true to our original nature and dedicated to the future well-being of our
world.
The Sabian symbol for the Moon at 8* Virgo is:
A
five-year old child takes a first dancing lesson. This symbol
evokes the need to channel our energies through dancing. The fact that it is a
dance lesson means that we have to focus through specific forms, the archetypal
form that is calling to you. At 5 years of age, a child begins to know
himself—his ego is starting to form. Our patriarchal ego is shaped by our
collective expectations. This dancing child, though, is in your hands. What
steps do you want to dance? What archetypal reality is calling you to the
dance?
My ‘take’ on the Sabian Symbols:
The bugle is waking us up to new beginnings with new learning in new skills and talents. Sounds like waking up
to new ways of utilising our minds and hearts, to work together in a unified
response, to elevate our thinking and consciousness to the higher Piscean ideals
enacted in the physical world.
Also, sounds like waking up to our ‘calling’, path of ‘service’,
path of heart, path of destiny!
Story
about the Dalai Lama regarding the heart and mind:
At the
end of the talk someone from the audience asked the Dalai Lama, "Why didn't you
fight back against the Chinese?" The Dalai Lama looked down, swung his feet just
a bit, then looked back up at us and said with a gentle smile, "Well, wa...r is obsolete, you know " Then, after a few moments, his
face grave, he said, "Of course the mind can rationalize fighting back...but the
heart, the heart would never understand.
Then you would be divided in yourself, the heart and the mind, and the war would be inside you."
Then you would be divided in yourself, the heart and the mind, and the war would be inside you."
26th February:
Venus moves into Pisces at 1.02 pm AEDT
until 22nd March
...universal love in our hearts!
Just a few hours after the Full Moon, Venus makes her move out of
Aquarius into Pisces. Here, love has no boundaries as Venus expands her
consciousness to encompass the collective, the masses.
Dive in: Venus is swept up in the ocean wave
carrying the other planets, Mars, Mercury, Neptune, Chiron and the
Sun
Awash with love:
love me, love my partner, love the
world
We can lose ourselves here, lose our hearts to the idealism that is
the Pisces signature. This energy gives us the opportunity to feel love for the
universe, to be more magnanimous, more tolerant, more compassionate providing we
open ourselves up to this energy!
Be ready to be inspired: a bigger vision of
your ‘heartspace’ in the world, where you belong, a bigger ‘heart’...more
compassion and tolerance!
