The Full Moon Eclipse is still rippling out ....

Please note: I post this longish blog twice a month for New and Full Moons. If you want shorter daily updates - come visit us on Facebook/Aurumastrology

~~~~~~~~~ 

 The recent Full Moon eclipse early on March 3rd - was in the sign of Virgo was backgrounded by  Saturn (matter) and Neptune (spirit) conjoined on the World Point (0 degrees Aries), an event that has not occurred for thousands of years. The last time they were together (though not on this critical spot) was in 1984 when the Berlin Wall came down. Neptune dissolves structures, systems, realities (Saturn). And currently, Mercury, ruler of this eclipse, is retrograde. 

The very fabric of reality is shifting under our feet.  
The future feels unsure, unstable, uncertain. Welcome to the awakening!

 I’m a few days late in writing this ~ but not to worry ~ this eclipse energy will be in the stratosphere for several months to come. And from what i am seeing and hearing, everyone is feeling this one. Anyone with planets with mid-Virgo or Pisces, Gemini of Sagittarius will feel it even more. Eclipses are subtle yet powerful - you may not recognize significant shifts until sometime in the future when you look back and realize that this was when it began. 

 There are other majour events: Saturn/Neptune on the Aires Point will effect anyone with planets  at the start of Aries/Libra/Cancer or Capricorn  and Uranus in late Taurus is also activating late Scorpio, Aquarius and Leo. That’s pretty much all of us lol, yet as always, some will feel it more than others. Planets in our birth chart show us how we will react to their transits (movement in sky). So for instance,  if you have a strong Mercury aspect natally,  you will feel the Mercury retrogrades more acutely. And because this eclipse is 'ruled' by Mercury (linked to Virgo) theres a double whammy. 
Full Moon’s bring things to a head, while eclipses release old energy that is no longer useful.  Virgo (the release point) seeks to analyze, organize, and perfect, yet Mercury — it's head dude — is turned upside down and backward in Pisces (opposite Virgo in the zodiac). 
 

Because of this, Virgo’s usual tools of linear logic, strategy, and refinement are being temporarily subdued or sidetracked by the more non-linear Piscean energy field. The deep waters of Pisces bring us an emphasis on feelings, symbols, dreams and the subtle inner currents of intuition that cannot always be explained, only felt. This can feel a bit foggy, yet Mercury is still guiding the story, by asking us to listen with our deep feeling self   ~ rather than the mind (Virgo).

This is potent energy:  And according to Robert Wilkinson (Aquarius Papers) , a powerful septile is linking Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune to bring us yet  another  “fork in the road of destiny” where we set a new direction ~ based on what we have learned from the past.  It might not be something big ~ it could be an attitude or a habit that you’re ready to change, or maybe your communication style is shifting, yet this shift will have long term repercussions. Part of what hat we are releasing is criticism and self judgement (which leads to judgement of others).  Virgo likes get things perfect (in great detail)  ~ and expects you to as well ~ while Pisces is more forgiving and more happy to go with the flow. 
 
 Eclipses bring endings/new beginnings. What is flowing toward you. What  new vista is appearing on the horizon. Time for something completely different (to find the area of your life that this release point  occurs - click on tabs (upper left)  for 'houses').

Other currents influences:
Venus in Pisces :  beauty, grace, fluidity
Mars in Pisces: warrior for Peace 

“Here's to the bridge-builders, the hand-holders, the light-bringers, those extraordinary souls wrapped in ordinary lives who quietly weave threads of humanity into an inhumane world.”~ L.R. Knost 

Still ~ things are not really feeling that peaceful right now are they?   Warrior planet Mars was recently activated by the lightning bolt of Uranus ~  bringing us upsets, destabilization and war. As Mars slowly moves further and further away from that trigger point ~ and deeper into peace loving Pisces ~ things could potentially begin to calm down a little.  One can only hope. However, Mercury retrograde in Pisces is going to confuse outcomes for a while (3 weeks for retrograde period  and 3 more to get back to where it started). 

The truth remains that the old order really is beginning to dismantle…and this year we will see that process accelerate.  The shift has begun, and will likely continue to be somewhat  uncomfortable as the news fills with dark secrets, hidden agendas, secret societies etc. This is only the beginning; we can be pretty sure they won’t go down without a fight, as they hold onto power with their greedy hands. Still, this IS the dawning of the age of Aquarius. 
 

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation, 

Aquarius

 

The overall frequency is accelerating.  Once Uranus (the awakener) moves into Gemini (the mind) at the end of April, things are going to speed up exponentially, with so much new information, new ideas, new inventions arriving we won't know what to do with it all (AI etc) 

Currently ~ the activating energy of Uranus has been squared to Mars (god of war), plus we have the extraordinary meet-up of Saturn and Neptune in Aries. The two revolutionaries, Uranus and Pluto, are now working beautifully together to shake us awake… but that is a process not an event. Meantime  Mercury retrograde in Pisces has a lot of people lost in a dream. It can be a good ream or a bad dream... depends on how friendly you are with your own subconscious. 

The Fire of Aries will soon begin to  burn away distortions as well as  bring us new possibilities, innovations and breakthroughs. We will just have to be patient while Mercury’s pulls us backward to review and reflect. Which is a good thing. The overall energy is going to speed up exponentially as the year unfolds, so I would suggest you enjoy the pause before it all kicks off. This is not a regression, it is a pregnant pause full of possibility. Time to really get in touch with our intuition (Pisces) 

When fishermen can’t go fishing ~ they repair their nets. 

On a more personal  level,  in our own astrology chart , each planet represents a different part of us. The Moon is the Mother and the Sun represents the father. The Moon is the more receptive, internal part of our expression (yin)  while the Sun is the more yang, outward drive. When these two energies oppose each other at a Full Moon, we can feel a push pull between our logic and our feeling. With Moon in Virgo both eclipsed and highlighted as it glowed red in the the sky, we are being thrown into the subterranean depths of our being. Time to learn how to swim.

Our world has become so over- focussed on outer achievement and goals, yet there is another side to life that is equally rich. This eclipses offers an energetic reboot so we can get more in touch with our creativity and ability to vision forward. This will soon be put to the test and in the meantime, trust the flow. Turn within. Allow the current to guide you in subtle ways. Practice peace. 

You know you want to.

Ps As we release the old ~ and embrace the new:  

"There's a collective purge unfolding, and experiencing it in real time can feel very different than simply knowing it was coming. Be gentle with your nervous system and your heart as you process what's surfacing.  At the same time, a rise of light and personal power is awakening for many. As old structures fall, something stronger and more aligned is stepping forward." Lee Harris

The Full Moon eclipse in Virgo was on a Collective Destiny Point ~ on the south node ~ a powerful release point. Virgo is the sign of purification. This is the 'collective purge' Lee is referring to, and its a prvate purge as well. Are you still carrying old grudges, anger, judgements?   Time to:

 

Focus on Compassion and Care, Healing and intuition. 
And Forgiveness. Make love not war.
You know you want to 

I can make a new beginning,
Or repeat the mistakes from the past. 
Silence and suppress some voices within,
Or integrate them all at last.
