 Welcome to the Full Moon in Virgo- opposite Sun and Neptune in Pisces -  occurring as I write.  I can feel its obfuscating effects messing with my ability to focus. I've already made three attempts. Come on Virgo- help me out here.  Give me clarity!

 

Welcome to the not-so-subtle tension of the  Full Moon  in Virgo! 

Warrior planet Mars is poking at us from the sidelines- threatening our fragile peace - and with Sun and Moon in opposition, how are we to find middle ground?



 2 people..
Person A makes subjective statement, its interpreted by person B as an objective statement.
Person B subjectively filters the information, and spits out a subjective response.
Person A objectively receives that, and interprets it as an attack on his supposedly objective statement(which was actually a subjective one) and calls out the other for not listening- for being wrong - they call each other snowflakes (!!) 

(why do beautiful snowflakes have to get dragged into this?)



And on it goes. 



Beware of obfuscation. Beware of false narratives. Beware of thinking you are right. Beware of thinking you are wrong. There are many shades of grey.



 Jupiter’s benign presence adds a sense of humour to the Full Moon lunacy! 

A Donkey- a priest and a rabbi walked into a bar. The barman looked up and said: "What is this- some kind of joke?!" 

Why did piglet have his head in the toilet? (He was looking for poo! )

Are we having fun yet?!





The movement of the Moon in Virgo opposite the many planets in Pisces will continue over the weekend. With this abundance of Piscean energy  flooding us with deep feelings and imaginings – and blurring the lines between fact and fiction - we  will need Virgo for balance.  Discernment is one of the keys that Virgo provides. It wants us to pay attention to the details.




Virgo is practical , pragmatic and picky. It can be overly critical in its effort to make everything perfect, resulting in a sense of constant dissatisfaction. Beware the spelling police! (a friend of mine - a Virgo -  loves to correct people’s grammatical errors on FB. Don't do that!)



Yet despite Virgos best efforts to keep things under control (ha) -  the Piscean influence will continue to flood us with inspiration  - awakening our appreciation of music, art and creativity - as well as  tricking us with delusions and fantasies.


Is it real? That is the question. Or- does it matter? That is the sort of thing Virgo loves to figure out. It loves to sort  the wheat from the chaff - helping us release what is unnecessary or no longer useful.


If we can combine Virgo’s grounded practicality with the wonderfully deep creativity and dreaming – something positive will result. Use the Mars energy to push forward (gently). Mars in Sagittarius is known for its enthusiasm and drive- if we can harness the tension and direct it toward creative ends - masterpieces may result. Jupiter adds a sense of possibility.



Sometimes even the impossible is possible!





Once again - discernment is key. Saturn says take it step by step.

I've been using this energy to tap into my inner muse- made several  SoulCollage® cards yesterday- (see tab at top)   as part of an online course on Fairy Tales (beautifully Piscean subject)  Doing something both concrete and creative  felt wonderful and cathartic after several weeks of cold /flu.  And expressing feelings through found images is an easy yet  powerful way to process them.


"I am One Who Dreams! I travel to the planets and the stars and listen to their stories. "


So - Get out your paints - your pen- or  collage some images together – put on some music- dance the night away. Dance all the way to Monday… Do whatever you can do to take advantage of this highly creative moment. Just don't forget to put your shoes on!




And also – you are already perfect – just the way you are!



Happy Full Moon!

p.s. Both Virgo and Pisces  long to be in service. Virgo does it in a practical way- Pisces is more inspired and feeling oriented. Find concrete ways to direct your caring and compassion to others. You know you want to!
