from the chair

Hi everyone!

The harvest awaits: The tending of our seeds for new life is our focus!

The Virgo ‘fields of gold’ beg our attention, our focus and our daily commitment to the path of love, growth, expansion of consciousness and faith in a brighter world where we are all honoured and respected at all levels of our being.

Physical signs of change and progress: Keep ‘weeding’ and feeding

The potential harvest of our inner work is the goal, the imminent manifestation of our spiritual commitment and dedication. The full blown harvest time is yet to come but we need to honour the growth, the new shoots of ideas and the transformation of mind, heart and spirit in our daily lives. And so, we weed, prune, feed and nurture.

‘The point of power is in the present’ (Seth) Finding our power!

This is the Virgo arena...daily life with its pleasures or pain, being in the moment, here and now, accepting life on earth and our mission for healing and resolution of our physical existence and bodies.

At the same time, we’re being asked to shift our vision and consciousness to alternate routes of discovery.

Travelling through an amazing period of healing: We are yet to experience the healing fulfilment desired by so many!

Virgo is the sign of the healer, ruled by Chiron/the healer as well as Mercury, mind manager, putting the focus on mind/body connection. All earth signs connect us to the physical world in different ways but all relate back to the body. We are currently travelling through an amazing period of healing physically the spiritual wounds of lifetimes.

It may feel as though nothing is happening but we will start to feel a surge of release as the Pisces Full Moon comes in to flush out unresolved emotions, spiritual wounds and energies from our bodies and lives.

It’s okay to step back from the mayhem and chaos:

As we bring our own lives to peace, we offer that peace to the world...we’re doing our bit

For many of us, we’ve needed to separate from the wider world of mayhem and conflict which has been erupting globally so that we can truly come into oneness with ourselves and humanity. Many are living on a survival level as the universe pushes us out of the comfort zone. We are tending to our basic needs in personal acts of love. Every act of love counts to the greater good.

2nd September: Full Moon in Pisces at 10 degrees 12 Pisces at 3.22 pm AEST

Collective sigh!

The old world is departing!

A Full Moon in the final sign of the zodiac!

It’s a full moon completion, culmination as we let out a collective sigh. Of relief? Maybe. Pisces is the sign of the two fish swimming in opposite directions, the place where we can rise in spiritual mastery or fall into spiritual defeat. In the last sign of the zodiac we can find or lose ourselves.

Inspiration is on tap if we are willing to evolve old emotional consciousness

If we are open and ready, Pisces takes us up into the higher realms of consciousness out of the depths of victim consciousness, despair, futility.

Pisces offers new visions beyond our present dreams and current reality if we are willing and ready to evolve our emotions.

The full moon turning point for an emotionally exhausting year!

In an emotionally exhausting year, where the game plan keeps changing, we’re being tested to the limits, challenged to own our emotions, release them safely and rise above the lesser evolved emotional reactions. It’s ongoing but this full moon is a turning point, a chance to flush away some very old energy.

Pisces: All is one and one is all!

Emotionally: ‘Let it in, let it out, don’t let it hang about’!

Pisces is the energy of the collective unconscious where we merge with ‘the all’, the oneness of humanity. That’s why boundaries are difficult to find/establish in this energy. Our emotions are not just our individual consciousness when we are submerged in this energy. We are feeling the emotions of the collective.

The New World is arriving!

Full Moon flush with a Virgo Sun:

A clearing purification of emotions from the physical body!

This Full Moon arrives amidst a big field of earth energy with 6 planetary bodies in earth signs. As if we weren’t already aware, movement is slow and steady, with a focus on the physical, mundane world of our reality. Virgo is an energy of purification so opposite the Full Moon brings a flood of release in the emotional and physical bodies.

Our planetary spiritual direction is galactic:

Our divine calling, galactic mission is coming through to us this Full Moon!

We’re tracking aligned with galactic consciousness, the North Node of the Moon our guiding light, sitting on the Galactic Centre at 26 degrees Gemini. Cosmic messages on tap at this full moon as Mercury our little messenger in Virgo, sign of healing, is bringing information to light as he challenges/squares the lunar nodes in Gemini/Sagittarius.

What message could float in on the ocean tides of the Pisces Full Moon?

Information coming through about our divine calling, path of service in line with galactic consciousness and planetary focus. Be open to the ‘dream’ and take time to just be in the ocean of expanded consciousness floating with the current of change.

Healing: The opportunity for insight and healing of our Mercury ruled respiratory, nervous and digestive systems is with us with potential for big breakthroughs. This is cosmic healing beyond our understanding...call it in!

A Grand Earth Trine: Sun, Uranus and Jupiter making magic together!

Here’s the power of physical manifestation wrapped up in a package of positive, optimistic, expansive energy which has the capacity to come in like a flash of lightning change.

Whatever dreams we’ve been building have the potential to start coming into physical reality.

Virgo Sun in the driving seat for healing: Co-driver Pisces Moon

With the powerful Sun in the Virgo driving seat, we can hope for a healing that directly impacts us all with the Pisces Moon in full sail. This is a collective spiritual, physical, emotional healing activated by big Uranus, the higher consciousness of the mind shifting deeply ingrained patterns in our body, in the body of mother earth.

The Pisces Moon is co-driver of this healing process, so we can expect a universal flush of release accompanied by a physical transformation which will flow on from the full moon. It’s ongoing, yes. But we’re getting into the realm of miraculous change continuing from here. Of course, we are creating this new miraculous reality as we engage our cosmic consciousness in the creative process.

Physical body: Digestion, neck, throat, hips, thighs

A Grand Cardinal Cross:

Challenges, opportunities...a demanding balancing act! We’re shadow dancing...or is it boxing?

A Grand Cross brings us to the centre of an energetic crossroads. Four different planetary energies are demanding our attention. Grand Crosses can put as at odds with ourselves and with others as we attempt to access all four energies in the best way possible. It can feel like a push/pull energy yet our call is to hold steady in the middle.

Cardinal signs want action but what kind of action will be personally directed and informed by personal circumstances.

Which energy is the most demanding?

They all want to be heard and acknowledged!

Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn: Deep transformation of power and authority...personal & political

Venus in Cancer: Heart powered healing of ancestral karmic threads

Mars, Black Moon and Eris in Aries: Firing up, creating chaos, release of suppressed shadow, individual power

Juno, the marriage asteroid in Libra: Juno, like Libra all about equity and justice as the way to peace and love

Justice will be done: It’s karmic resolution on a massive level! Shadows are being released!

Mars continues to cook up a storm taking on the established order. With Black Moon, our shadow moon and Eris in his team, ongoing chaotic energies and the release of our feminine shadow side, the repressed energies of time past we’re in for a wild ride to karmic resolution. These energies will continue until later this year bringing long suppressed emotions to the surface, demanding redress.

Clearing of karmic ancestral threads:

Repressed shadows from the past seek release in justice and love

Venus in Cancer and Juno in Libra, squaring off to Saturn.

The call to harmony, peace, love and nurturing will be driven along by demands for justice and equity, for support of the loving energies of the home and its nurturing environment.

The Full Moon: Pisces 11

PEOPLE TRAVELING A NARROW PATH, SEEKING ILLUMINATION

This shows having a quest, “Seeking Illumination”, having a “Path” and staying on it regardless of what life throws at you. Sometimes the search for high ideals and understanding places us at odds with the more conservative social expectations of others. It is the ability to persevere with the search, regardless of the cost, that marks the sincerity of any path or journey. You may, at times, have to go without some comforts or stick to a rigorous agenda. Most times this quest is very illuminating, sometimes it's confusing. You will need to reject that which is unworthy, while staying true to your objectives in order to stay focused on the goal. People 'on the path'. Having a cause to follow. The promise of light at the end of the day. Sticking with objectives. Being in the now. Going towards the light. Spiritual journeying.

The Sun: Virgo 11

A CHILD MOULDED IN THEIR PARENT’S ASPIRATIONS

This Symbol implies having to live up to others’ expectations. It's fine to be moulded by people’s desires or by our parents, but often this does not reflect our true potential. The “Parent” often misses the truth of the offspring and may be projecting their own unlived life. Taking back one’s sense of individuality and going after what you really want will probably lead to more success in your life. Worrying about what others want, expect or think can lead to shallow choices or responses. On the other hand, this can show people being proud of what you’ve achieved and who you’ve grown into. Feelings of being directed and protected on one's journey. Being shaped against one's free will. Plastic, or emotional, surgery. Parents as patterns. Predetermined destinies.

That’s all folks! Hugs all around!

Are we all swimming in the one direction? Some of us are being tossed about by the current and swept to shore, swept out to sea but we are all being carried by universal forces created by us and by the galactic energies which are activated on our planet.

This Full Moon in Pisces offers potential closure for many of us on the karmic contracts, commitments and threads we have taken on this lifetime. No, it’s not necessarily going to all disappear overnight but guess what...it could! We are the dreamers who are bringing visions to earth in a whole new creative impetus.

The Full Moon energies of closure and completion carry us forward for the next 2 weeks until the New Moon in Virgo so the closure of old paths and patterns continues. We’re still ‘dancing’ the Leo foxtrot of the lunar month even as we are awash in the great ocean of Pisces.

In the next two weeks all 3 personal planets, Mercury, Venus and Mars shift gears which indicates a change in the personal game plan. Mind, heart and body will be working with a different healing recipe which will bring focus to the physical body, fire and drive.

Love and blessings to us all as we say goodbye to the old ways and welcome a new wave of inspiration.
