Full Moon – Dream It – Create It

Today, March 16, 2014 the Full Moon culminates at 1:08 PM EDT.  With the Sun in Pisces and the Moon in Virgo this Full Moon is about imagination, dreaming and visualizing and facing the reality of what is.  Pisces Sun says dream it big while Virgo Moon helps to bring that dream to fruition. This Full Moon promotes flexibility and gives the mutable signs, Pisces, Virgo, Gemini and Sagittarius a get a move on nudge.  With the dynamic T-Square between Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto still in play no one escapes the push and shove of world events and inner promptings that call for repositioning and prompt us to take steps to break the rigid and crystallized in our lives.  When routine becomes rut, it’s time to rethink that routine.

Moon enters Libra on Sunday night and while Moon travels through this sociable, balance seeking sign it is a good time to talk, to work on relationships and to connect with people in your life.  We’re looking for beauty and harmony under this Moon.  It’s Venus ruled so art, beauty and forming partnerships are favored. 

On Monday, Mercury enters Pisces leaving the intellectual sign of Aquarius.  Mercury in Pisces heightens our telepathic and intuitive senses.  We sense things.  This is great for artists but for all it is best not to let the imagination and fantasies run wild.

On Tuesday, Venus in Aquarius connects with Uranus in Aries testing that Libra Moon’s love for harmony.  Venus ruler of love and money joining forces with Mr. Surprise, Uranus calls for fireworks.  Unusual, original and unexpected words, actions and events occur around this aspect. Aquarians and Aries feel the jolt along with the Leos and Libras. 

On Wednesday morning Moon leaves congenial Libra and enters suspicious Scorpio. Strong passions are aroused under this Moon sign.   Folks get a bit moody and sensitive under this Moon.  Don’t let secrets, jealously and suspicion rule you during these few days.  Step away from the emotional and look at things objectively.

On Thursday, the Vernal Equinox, Spring begins.  The day and the night are equal in length.  The energy changes and although it may not feel like spring, change is in the air.  This season will be a season of volatility on all fronts.  Wet and windy with some record breaking days, the Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto configuration speaks of unpredictability on all fronts.  Be prepared to roll with the punches.

On Friday Moon enters Sagittarius and suspicions fall by the wayside as people become warm and friendly.  Sagittarius Moon loves change and motion.  Folks want to get out to a sporting event, a hike in the woods or a flex of the independent muscle.  Keep moving is the motto of this Moon.

On Saturday when Mercury in Pisces joins forces with Neptune in Pisces intuition takes the main stage.  It is important to remain positive and be around positive people and influences now as this combination is like a sponge and we absorb what is around us.  There is a strong possibility of deception, confusion and misrepresentation of the facts. Take the high road boys and girls you don’t want to get stuck in the mire.

Busy is the Name of the Game – Action and Growth.

This Saturday, March 8, 2014 Moon hits its First Quarter phase.  First Quarter Moon phase is the time for decisive action.  Often a crisis will precipitate this action.  Most times it is instinctive and does not feel like a crisis at all as the Moon rules our daily life and it all seems part of the routine.  When you want something to grow, begin while the Moon is in its waxing phase, especially if it is waxing in Cancer.

 This First Quarter Moon, with Moon in Gemini and Sun in Pisces, promises a busy week ahead leading up to the Full Moon on the 16^th.  Gemini Moon is always a time of curiosity and the need for mental stimulation. If you want an idea to grow waxing Moon in Gemini is the time to voice that idea and get it out to the universe.  This Quarter Moon will impact in a very personal way Gemini and Pisces of course as well as Virgo and Sagittarius.  

Daylight Savings time begins at 2 AM on Sunday morning, March 9, 2014.  Moon slides home to Cancer at 9:33 AM EDT. Folks can get needy and moody while Moon is in Cancer.  There’s a need to nurture or be nurtured. We respond emotionally now, so tread lightly as people are vulnerable and sensitive. This is a most fertile time; the time to plant your garden and watch it grow.

Monday, the Moon’s day, is likely to be an emotional roller coaster as Moon bounces off Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto activating that dynamic T-Square that has been in play and will continue to be in play for some time.  Jupiter is about justice, Uranus rebellion and Pluto power, control and the ability to transform. We see this played out in global events and bringing it down to the personal the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn feel the pressure of this uncommon aspect.  Life changing events trigger inner changes that alter the life path and plans.  Cardinal signs are always ready to start something new and usually adapt quickly to changing circumstances.

Early Tuesday morning, Mercury in Aquarius squares Saturn in Scorpio paving the way for some serious conversation and some sobering news. Here the fixed signs, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius feel the stress. The mercurial signs of Gemini and Virgo get pulled into the conflict as well as Saturn ruled Capricorn. Aquarius, Saturn ruled as well is hip deep into it and with Mercury there we are likely to hear one of those famous Aquarian rants.   Moon slips into Leo at 10:09 PM EDT.  While Moon is in Leo people are romantic, affectionate and looking for fun.  We need appreciation and recognition during this time, so don’t be slow with the compliments.  It should come natural as generosity of spirit is a signature attribute of Moon in Leo. 

During Thursday afternoon’s commute Sun in Pisces trines Saturn, the Sun and Saturn represent masculine authority.  A trine aspect indicates ease and agreement.  Authority figures reach an agreement.  The details emerge on Friday after Moon enters Virgo at 10:17 AM EDT.  Around noon time Mercury in Aquarius trines Mars in Libra and it is time for decisive action.  Moon in Virgo heightens our capacity for discrimination.  Detailed work and organizing projects do well now.  

The sky is busy this week and we will be busy as well.  A lot of news that stirs the emotions and a lot of folks who want to stir that pot.  Friday’s Mercury trine Mars will inject some clear logic and reasonableness into it all.  It will pay to let things gel a bit before flying off the handle so try to resist the Mercury/Mars connection and think about it a bit.

Pisces New Moon - Mars, Jupiter and Saturn Stir Things Up

The New Moon in Pisces at 2:59 AM EST on Saturday morning, March 1, 2014 makes a positive connections with Jupiter in Cancer.  This is a great for spiritual openings, heightening of the imagination and enhancing artistic abilities.  Mercury in Aquarius went direct the day before and Mars goes retrograde at 11:24 AM EST and just like that the energy shifts and changes.   More changes come as Moon enters Aries on Sunday and Saturn in Scorpio turns retrograde.  When planets change direction the energies that those planets embody heightens, strengthens and often manifests concrete events according to the sign they are in and in the individual horoscope, the house they are in.  In the afternoon, Venus in Capricorn squares retrograde Mars in Libra. Relationships are strained, arguments ensue.  The masculine and feminine principles clash. This does not bode well for diplomacy on international fronts as well as the kitchen table variety.  Moon in Aries wants things right now.  Impulsive action that is not well thought out is a signature of this Moon. 

On Monday, March 3, 2014 before most folks make it to the job this Aries Moon bounces off Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto stirring things up.  Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto are in an ongoing T-Square that is Jupiter opposing Pluto and both squaring Uranus, looks like a T.  Squares agitate and make things happen; oppositions are just that, opposing viewpoints, folks on opposite sides of the fence.  We see this symbolism acted out in world events.  In the Ukraine, it’s between East and West, in the US it’s liberal and conservative, rich and poor etc. So when Aries Moon sets this off things happen.  When Moon passed through Libra kicking things off from the opposite side of the Zodiac forming a Grand Square demonstrations began in Kiev. Aries Moon may escalate things.  In the afternoon Sun in Pisces forms a congenial aspect with Pluto in Capricorn, although congenial any time Pluto is involved there are issues of power and control.

On Tuesday afternoon at 2:12 PM EST Moon enters Taurus bringing out our need for emotional stability. We don’t like change and favor the traditional while Moon travels through this fixed earth sign.  Folks tend to be a bit stubborn now.  On Ash Wednesday, with Moon still in Taurus, Venus moves into Aquarius.  Venus, the planet of love and money in this sign is looking for friendship first. The unconventional or odd appeals and socializing is often done with a group of friends while Venus is in Aquarius. 

On Friday, Jupiter in Cancer changes direction stirring up Uranus and Pluto in the process.  In the evening Moon moves into versatile Gemini and we seek mental stimulation.  Talking and the exchange of ideas keep folks busy.  The duality of Gemini often makes it difficult to make a decision. A good time to take care of correspondence and return phone calls as information simply flows.

All in all this is a week of change.  In some areas things that were on hold begin to move along, while in other areas a reevaluation may be in order.  We can expect more demonstrations, authorities flexing their muscles and the common folk flexing theirs as well.  On an individual level it may be difficult to extend the olive branch but attempts at peace making are always worth the effort.  The fruits of those efforts may not manifest right away, but during periods of turmoil it is wise to lay the foundation for the hoped for stability to follow.
