Hi everyone! It’s dolphin dreamtime!
What an interesting week ahead...shifts and turns
taking us quickly into a new order of being. We start the week in dreamland,
all emotion, then get practical and earthy with preparing to fulfil the dreams
and then a week later, spiritual upliftment of the heart...fun and
games...PLAYTIME!
What’s been happening: road-testing our
masculine ego...learning to trust ourselves to move forward...finding our feet!
Since Mars moved into Scorpio on 24th August, our
focus has been clearly directed to experiencing the masculine ego in a new form
after months of being reworked, rebalanced, healed, reformed, rejuvenated and
getting a general make-over. After months of learning to contain this masculine
force within us, we find that it has been released from the holding pattern of
Virgo then Libra.
When Mars moved into Scorpio last week, we were called to
let the horse have it’s head...it’s all about trusting ourselves!
Can we rely on the tempering of our masculine drive
that has taken place? Can we trust our ego to work in tandem with our feminine
qualities of intuition, gut instinct? Only one way to find out...take a step
forward and trust. It’s time.
Letting the horse have its head: For riders
brought up the English way, letting the horse have its head can be
disconcerting. You steer by placing the rein either side of the neck while pace
is controlled by posture. It takes trust in your horse but, once achieved, means
you can enjoy your surroundings/www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/outdoors/7155542/Horse-riding-Learn-how-to-ride-the-cowboy-way.html
What’s been happening physically:
Mars, ruler of Aries, rules the head, heat, fire, the blood. You may have been
experiencing problems with the head like headaches, sinus etc. Anything in the
head like dizziness, light-headedness, heavy head, tingling. Anything unusual
in the head may be related to this recalibration.
Also, inflammations like heat surges, sweats, flu
symptoms or flu itself.
The North Node of the Moon is not a planet, but a
point of consciousness, representing the spiritual direction of the whole
planet. Every two to three years, the nodes shift in focus. The eclipses
are aligned with the moon’s nodes.
The eclipse cycle works with the nodes: Eclipses bring big and often dramatic changes both personally and globally which will shift and align us with universal consciousness and planetary evolution.
The next pair of eclipses is in November, one in
Scorpio and one in Gemini. There is an overlap from the previous series of
eclipses in Gemini/Sagittarius.
The bottom line:
Spiritually:
The South
Node in Taurus...we’re being called to let go of
attachment to materialism, physical ‘luxuries’ and bring ourselves into balance
by embracing...
The North
Node in Scorpio...paring back the non-essentials, stripping away on all
levels – emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually.
I wouldn’t be the
least bit surprised to find that those who are carrying extra weight in the
body, will find it dropping off. Taurus rules the physical senses and loves
food and eating and all the ‘good’ luxurious things of life. However, Taurus
energy lends itself to carrying extra weight in the body. Taurus ‘holds on’
whilst Scorpio ‘lets go’.
I’ll write more on this in future posts as Saturn is
moving into Scorpio in the first week of October...a big change after Saturn
being in Libra for past 2 to 3 years. With Scorpio, there is no going back.
It’s all good.
Two fish swimming in the
same direction! Not very Piscean...two fish swimming in opposite
directions!...Hmmm.
Well here we are at the end of August, finishing off
with a second Full Moon this month! And what a finish! The Full Moon on 31st
brings something to culmination.
The question that is being answered at this Full Moon...how do we embody higher consciousness??? How do we live ‘the dream’? Two days after the moon comes to fullness, Mercury brings answers and directions on the practical level.

Keep your balance by experiencing
the waves and currents of the big collective emotions whilst preparing to ground
them into the earthy practicality of the everyday world.
The Moon...go with the flow, swim with the
emotions, hear the messages and inspiration of the universe:
Pisces is all emotion, represented by the ocean and
the ocean of consciousness by which we are all connected. It’s a dreamy,
idealistic energy which has the capacity to lift us up to a spiritual
super-consciousness, above worldly concerns. Just float with these watery
energies, go with the flow, switch off the mind and let the guidance come
in.
The Sun...how do I ground the ideas? As the inspirations, ideas, possibilities, emotions etc. flow in with the Full Moon energy, allow them to float around the psyche for about 3 days after the Full Moon. 3 days either side of the Full Moon can be a deceptive time as it is loaded with emotional energy which can be misdirected coming from past emotional energies and patterns. The truth will emerge a couple of days after the moon.
Give it a couple more days to really get it into a more realistic form, until Mercury moves past an opposition to Neptune on the 1st, before you start enacting this ‘in the world’, that is on the physical level.
Chiron(the wounded healer), is regarded as the
co-ruler of Virgo calling us to master the physical existence healing the wounds
and embodying the higher expression of ourselves in the everyday world. As we
heal our personal wounds, we heal the collective wounds and vice versa.
The ‘wounds’ may be emotional, mental, physical or spiritual. The wounds may well encompass all those areas. The focus at this time is clearing those wounds we carry on a collective level, which we have been holding in our bodies. The opportunity to heal these deep wounds is assisted by the Uranus/Pluto square which supports the Full Moon configuration.
Pluto and Uranus carry ‘opening up’ energies to the
Pisces Moon and Virgo Sun. Everything’s working together. Pluto offers deep
transformation and life/death/rebirth within the context of our
lives. Pluto is the phoenix, the regenerative power we
are seeking. It’s in a flowing positive energy with the Full Moon in Pisces.
There’s likely to be a collective healing as we take steps to redress imbalances
in our personal and collective lives.
Sudden shifts for the better including
healings, are possible: at both the personal as well as collective level
Sabian Symbols from Cathy Pagano: http://www.wisdom-of-astrology.com/astrostarsarticles/pisces-full-moon-august-31-2012 :
The Sabian symbol for the Moon at 9* Pisces is: A jockey spurs
his horse, intent on outdistancing his rivals.
This is a symbol of the intense focus it takes to direct our
energies to our goals. Since it’s a Piscean symbol, the water horses indicate a
powerful surge in the collective unconscious. Imagine those foaming horses from
The Fellowship of the Rings, as the power of Rivendell comes to rescue
Arwen and Frodo from the Black Riders. Don’t be surprised if there are powerful
energies around this full Moon.
The Sabian symbol for the Sun at 9* Virgo is: An expressionist
painter at work.
This symbol shows us how Virgo works to express her true inner
Being. Be an original and follow your bliss!
More detailed information on the Sabian
Symbols and this Full Moon from Lynda Hill at:
health and wellbeing...clearing our physical lives.
Putting plans in place...sorting/tidying, clarifying the mind,the body, the workplace, commercial agreements!
A window of 2 weeks opportunity to really sort out
any ongoing confusion and get our physical lives grounded. Mercury rules Virgo
so it’s all about communication as well as service, work, health and commerce.
Chiron, also a ruler of Virgo, suggests that whatever we put in place will be
for our health, healing and wellbeing. It’s all good.
Healing
mastery of the physical realm: It’s interesting that only a couple
of days after the Full Moon, the focus shifts to Virgo, sign of the healer. This
is when we actually start to ‘ground’ the dreams, insights, guidance that came
in at the Full moon. Virgo is earthy and practical. We are called to start
practising what we preach...to put our physical existence in order and heal any
anomalies in that everyday physical world.
Once Mercury moves off opposition to Neptune (which
has us connected to the hotline out to the other dimensions), around 3rd, we
should have the information we need to get things moving on the everyday level.
If we act too quickly, we may find we become confused as Neptune can delude us,
veil the truth from us as well as offering big picture possibilities.
Mercury in Virgo has kept us very mentally focussed
to the point you might have even had trouble sleeping. The brain is awakened
and ready to go! Now we need time out and here comes Venus.
When Venus moves into Leo, we’re going to be able to
kick back a little and get in touch with some light-hearted fun. We need to
keep ourselves balanced as we move ahead in our new direction. We need some
relaxation when we get the feel of the new possibilities which have unfolded.
Maybe you’ll sense the romance of life and re-ignite
romance in your life! Be assured that this energy offers us a reprieve from the
relentless transformation process. In mid September when Uranus/Pluto come to
another exact meeting, we’ll be grateful to retreat from the ‘wars’ of the world
into this haven. Just don’t forget it’s there and continue to nurture yourself
with some personal happiness.
Upcoming Dates:
16th September: New Moon in Virgo
17th September: Mercury moves into Libra until 5th
October
18th September: Pluto in Capricorn moves direct
Pluto/Uranus challenge mid September
That’s it folks!
Love and blessings
