Ah yes! Today at 12:26p PST brings us a Full Moon in Virgo, and along with it a much needed dose of substance and reality.
We are in the midst of an unusually water-logged Pisces Sun cycle with 7 major influences in water signs – there are 5 influences currently in Pisces (Sun, Mercury, Mars, Chiron, and the sign’s ruler Neptune) and 2 influences in Scorpio (Saturn and North Node). To add to the strangeness, both Mercury and Saturn are also in retrograde motion, awakening us emotionally from within as well as affecting us through our outer environments.
This 2013 Pisces Sun cycle is a time where our dreams, visions, emotions, and intuitions are the powers that be – a very liquid energy that demands that we go with the flow of its energy and allow ourselves to be guided to what we need to be, do, and know at this time. We are being asked to let go and let the Universe guide us from our inside out, even if it has to come from the outside first. Yet it all feels rather elusive if not downright imaginary – there isn’t much for us to hold onto or count on right now.
In fact, the only two influences currently in earth signs and giving us anything of substance are 1) Pluto in Capricorn, which is usually good at extremes, either strengthening or destroying the structures and systems in place, so it’s not a sure bet for keeping anything stable or secure; and 2) Juno in Capricorn, which is committed to getting results and achieving success, yet in this excess of water is having a really tough time figuring out just what those goals and ambitions are and/or how to go about achieving them.
Yet in the midst of all of this intangible emotional-spiritual ebb and flow, this Full Moon in Virgo helps us gain some sense of tangible reality. Not a lot, though. After all, we are dealing with moody and emotional Moon energy, and Virgo is a mutable earth sign, and the earth it provides is more like thick mud rather than really solid earth. Nevertheless, Full Moon in Virgo gives us something thicker than water, and that emotional substance is a very welcome presence in this ethereal Pisces wonderland right now.
The effects of the Full Moon in Virgo can be felt for a day or two before and after the Full Moon is exact. Make the most of this energy to make some markers to define your path. Of course, you may want to remember that you’re sticking these markers into mud – they are subject to change position.
That leads us to another reminder: The only true constant in life is change. So in the midst of the changes that are happening for each and all of us, now during this Full Moon in Virgo is a good time to ask yourself what you are awakening to about yourself and others as you move through this Pisces Sun cycle.
- What are you learning about your dreams, your visions, your emotions, and your spirituality?
- How are your feelings, thoughts, and visions changing in these areas of your life?
- And what are you realizing that you want or need to change in these areas your life now?
And one more thing: Even though it’s been very fluid, the water has been relatively clear. Even though your emotional-spiritual energy has been flowing very quickly and may have been overwhelming at times, it has also been providing you with great emotional-spiritual clarity in doing so. The mud of the Full Moon in Virgo may make the water rather murky, but it should remain just clear enough for you to recognize what is really changing in yourself and in your life. That recognition is the first step in embracing and allowing these changes to occur.
Let go and allow yourself and your life to evolve. Use the mud of the Full Moon in Virgo to help you slow your trip down the river rapids a little, and use the change in speed to actually shift your position and as result, your life’s direction.
It may not feel like it now, but mud can be very therapeutic and you may find that the changes happening for you now may be bigger blessings than you could possibly imagine.
Thank you for reading and sharing this post. Until next time…
