Full Moon in Pisces 2022

This year the Harvest Full Moon in Pisces occurs on September 10th at 2:58 AM PDT. The Sun in Virgo, and Moon in Pisces oppose each other at 17 degrees 41 minutes. This time of year is celebrated as the harvest for obvious reasons, but let’s take a deeper look at how we can celebrate the abundance our planet gives us.

First, we are looking at the culmination of hopes, wishes and DREAMS we set into motion when the New Moon in Pisces occurred March 2nd of this year. Roughly 6 months ago we looked at the balance or lack of it between these two signs, and now we see the results of our actions.

Pisces is a Mutable Water Sign. Mutable as it is the final month of the Winter Season, with qualities of the season it leads us into.

The ice is melting and breaking and the month shows signs of Spring coming. It is the last Water Sign of the Zodiac, making it very sensitive, compassionate and focused on faith. It inspires a profound outlook on life, from the inside out. This sign’s glyph is two fish swimming in different directions, showing the dual nature of the sign; either a creative and spiritually centered nature, or a need to escape from reality. Neptune rules Pisces and is feminine/passive energy. This is the planet that shows us the low road or the high road in life, and which path we choose to take.

With the Sun in Virgo, we are driven to seek order, look after our physical health, question everything looking for answers and solutions. Virgo, an Earth Sign, stays grounded in physical reality, while the Pisces Moon searches the heavens for clues to their spiritual reality. What did you set for your goal on the New Moon in Pisces? Was it to bring about changes in your world? Or to set spiritual ambitions as in learning meditation, channeling, creative writings?

The Virgo/Pisces axis relates to our material world and our spiritual world. These two signs are motivated to assist those in need. We seek balance now between these two. While the Sun encourages us to “clean up our act”, the Moon begs for our consciousness to grow and thrive.

On this Harvest Full Moon, the planet Neptune is conjoined with the Moon at 24 degrees Pisces. This is quite an event as Neptune rules Pisces, so we have a double dose of Spirit. The veil is thin between us and “All That Is”, and at this time we can truly seek guidance from the energies that usher us through our lives. Have you found your guiding light? It is a wonderful time to dive deep into meditation/contemplation on who you are and why you are here. We are not just physical beings, but are much much more.

Both the Sun and Moon are favorably aspected by Uranus at 18 degrees Taurus. With the trine to the Sun the unusual and unorthodox will appeal to you; you crave freedom, adventure, excitement and discovery, and are not afraid of change. With the sextile to the Moon rather than overly emotional, you’ll be spontaneous and may do something unexpected or funny in order to loosen others up. Change is inevitable, but with these aspects it is welcomed. Taking back your power can come through spiritual insights you gain at this time.

One difficulty can come through a T-Square between the Sun in Virgo, the Moon in Pisces, and Mars at 11 degrees Gemini. The square to the Sun inspires a direct approach, possibly leading to aggressiveness or being combative. You can feel restless, impatient and sometimes reckless. The square to the Moon makes for temperamental responses if your desires are frustrated. Since Mars deals with our physical bodies we must be cautious. The relief for this T-Square comes from Mars in Gemini. We can think ourselves out of these feelings, we can use our intellect to discover what needs addressing in order to calm the waters. Where Virgo and Pisces are looking at how to help others, Mars brings us back to how to help ourselves.

Also, with Mercury Retrograde from September 9th through October 2nd, this requires patience and a deeper look at all that has happened since the New Moon in Pisces. Remember, the Full Moon is a time of completion of what was set in motion last March. It is my hope that much has been realized, understood, and assimilated into our personalities that make us better people. Look at the results of what was set in motion and whether or not you achieved your dreams. After all, Pisces is the sign of our higher nature, our subconscious and our infinite connection with Spirit. It is truly a time to see what your dreams have brought into your life. Be all that you can be!

New Moon in Virgo 2022

On August 27th at 1:17 AM PDT, the Sun and Moon are joined at 4 degrees Virgo 4 minutes. Here we are setting our intentions for what we are creating, which will culminate on the Full Moon in Virgo March 7th, 2023. When we are bathed in this energy, we set our intentions according to this influence.

Virgo is a Mutable Earth Sign. It is signaling the last month of Summer, crops are finishing their life cycle and fully abundant, and hopefully your cheeks are sunkist! It is a glorious time of year with hints of Autumn in the air. It is an Earth Sign, grounded, practical and dedicated to doing a good job. No matter what the job may be, Virgo’s are perfectionists, and details matter. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, along with Gemini until another planet is found in our system.

Mercury is the messenger, ruling the mind and intellect, and Virgo’s tend to be dedicated to service and caring for Earth’s beings. The symbol for Virgo is the Virgin. Virgin’s are pure and right; and Virgo’s strive to be just that. The symbol also encompasses fertility and the process one must undertake to bear fruit, in the field and at home.

So the wisest objective at this time of our creation, is to see what a double hit of Virgo can bring us. It has to do with all that this sign rules; our health, our work, service to others, our habits and cleanliness, how organized we are. We know when we set a New Moon goal, it will marinate in our mind over time and bring results through the actions we take. The six months it takes from New Moon to Full Moon, in the same sign, informs us we can breathe, think clearly and make a plan. Look around you, what needs to be done, something you may have been putting off but would feel great to have it behind you? Any mental busywork, or cleaning out a room and reorganizing the closet, or tidying up the garden at the end of the season are healthy Virgoan goals.

One issue can be an exact square to the Sun and Moon from Mars at 4 degrees Gemini. This abundance of mental download can make one irritable, aggressive and impatient. You must watch what you say and do to others at this time.

The good news is this nervous energy can get you involved and stop putting off what needs attention. Just remember to speak to others how you wish to be spoken to.

The second issue is a T-Square between Venus in Leo, Saturn in Aquarius, and Uranus in Taurus. These fixed signs are stubborn and dug in. The relief here comes from Uranus in Taurus. Changes need to happen in our world, and these changes begin at home. There may be surprising money issues that force us to see life differently, or scarcity where there once was abundance. Not only the world needs to change, but our lives in the midst of it. If you prepare for any shortcomings you won’t be as affected by what comes your way.

We have an opportunity to consider what direction we are being pulled in. How can we improve ourselves and our surroundings in order to be a better person in the world? One thing to resist at this time is making excuses due to low self esteem. This critical sign (Virgo) can be a downer if you nitpick and tear apart any sense of goodness. Set doable goals for yourself and those you care about, and slow but sure implement them into your lives. Take an initiative that improves your health and well being, work on projects that bring you joy, and follow the Golden Rule. You will be better for it and those lives you touch will be too!

Full Moon in Aquarius 2022

On August 11th at 6:35 PM PDT the Full Moon in Aquarius arrives! The Full Moon is the culmination of hopes, dreams and goals set on the New Moon in Aquarius back in February of this year. Take a stroll down memory lane and observe what your ambitions were at that time. How did you do? That was a time of taking a chance, being open minded and creating without fear. Aquarius is the sign of groups and associations, and takes us in the direction of combining our energies with others for a common goal.

Aquarius is a Fixed Air Sign. It sits in the center of the Winter season, stuck in its ways but open to suggestion! This is due to it being an Air sign, intellectual and mentally astute. It encourages us to KNOW, not just pussy foot around a subject. Aquarians make great friends as they can be trusted. Astrologers say that Aquarius is an Air Sign of high humidity, meaning it is compassionate intellect. It is a teaching sign, an energy that has arrived at conclusions and wishes to share them. They make great professors and mentors. The planet Uranus rules Aquarius, and is the activator as planets go. It is such a restless energy that it seeks out our rigidity and frustrated spirit and shakes it out of its complacency. Without Uranus rattling our cage now and then we would settle into destructive and limiting patterns.

The symbol for Aquarius is the Waterbearer, or waves of water. The pouring of the water from a reliable source and sharing it with others is the meaning. The water nourishes, like knowledge. It is bringing people into the fold, like baptism. Aquarians share their philosophy willingly. The highest use of this energy is to open up to the profound and share it with good friends. To see the family of humanity we belong to and work towards our highest manifestation.

When we have this Supermoon in Aquarius, the last one of this year, we can expect to be looking at the conflict between our proud individual self (Sun in Leo), and our team player (Moon in Aquarius). The emotions, our point of view, and the situation we are in will beg attention. There are some planetary influences exaggerating this Fixed opposition between the Sun and Moon to look at.

To begin with, the Moon is conjunct with the planet Saturn at 22 Aquarius. This tight conjunction puts a restraint on the otherwise risk taking Moon by saying “let’s break through, but cautiously.” Rather than the quick response, take time to look things over.

There is a T-Square between the Moon and Saturn in Aquarius; Mars, Uranus and the North Node in Taurus; and the Sun in Leo. The outlet for resolve lands in Taurus. Where the Sun is afflicted with Mars bringing aggression and a Me First attitude, Saturn making you feel inadequate and full of self doubt, and Uranus making you feel restless and unstable things can get difficult! Add to this the Moon and Saturn feeling the pressure from Mars as impatience with a hot temper, and Uranus making you want excitement and change. The keys to remember here are Mars in Taurus is tenacious about setting goals and achieving them. Time to be reliable and productive. Uranus in Taurus rebels against repressive attitudes and wants us to be uninhibited. So, the pressure is on to let go before it turns into an explosion of emotions. Get out of your head and make some changes happen, free yourself.

Whatever your goals were back in February, look at your life now and the associations you have made with others. Did you say what needed to be heard? Have you dealt with your relationships with others and kept yourself as an individual? Or have you lost yourself in all the chaos and forgotten YOU? Time to see where you sit in this conflict, and what you can do to remedy it. Take the high road and admit to yourself the truth, without fear, shame or blame, and chart your course for the highest version of you!
