Spring Equinox

Sun in Aries conjunct Uranus   Spring into Action Happy Spring

A Virgo Full Moon Full of Surprises

This Full Moon in perfectionist Virgo signifies a culmination and a release. It is the last Full Moon of the astrological year…as the Sun moves from Pisces (water) into Aries (fire) marking the beginning of spring. A push pull between details, practicality and criticality (Virgo) and the dreamy, sometimes defensive, other-worldliness of Pisces, may distract us until we run smack into the fiery intention of Aries.  Uranus in Aries is already kicking some serious butt…don’t underestimate its power to agitate and awaken through upheaval and sudden change. In these last days of transition, things are at a peak. With the Sun already so close to Uranus at the beginning of Aries (Aries Point), this Full Moon may pack a bit of a punch. Uranus likes to shock and surprise us.  Sudden erratic decisions and emotional outbursts may occur with the Moon opposite Uranus, with Virgo’s perfectionism becoming a reason to bolt.

I decided not to post this weekend in a silent memorial to the suffering in Japan. This quote  has special poignancy right now: "There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water. See who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally. Least of all, ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt. The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we've been waiting for." Oraibi, ArizonaHopi Nation

New Moon Pisces Go with the Flow

There’s some pretty weird and wonderful energy floating around right now. Today’s New Moon begins another new cycle of energy, this time in dreamy, watery world of Pisces. A New Moon is a Sun/Moon conjunction…the famous ‘Conjunctio’. We won’t actually see the Moon for another few days…it’s hiding behind the Sun right now (it’s also called the 'Dark of the Moon'). The combining of the two luminaries gives us a powerful blast of energy which carries us through the coming month. Put out your wish or intention now to manifest your dreams (and not your nightmares).  There is also a stellium (whole bunch) of planets, including Mars, and Mercury (and of course the Sun), exaggerating and amplifying the Piscean influence. Pisces dissolves what appears solid and pulls us down into our deepest longing (and strangest fantasies). Virgos, Geminis and Sagittarians may feel this strongly, though any planets in these signs (in your chart) can be set off by this stellium. Chiron’s presence
