The September Full Moon 2021

On September 20th at 4:55 PM PDT, the Sun opposes the Moon. The Sun is at 28 degrees Virgo 14 minutes, and the Moon is stationed at 28 degrees Pisces 14 minutes. We are in preparation for the Autumnal Equinox on September 22nd; time to dig deep.

The New Moon in Virgo was a time to begin anew with your goals, after reevaluating and analyzing what needs altering to avoid the obstacles you may have encountered previously. Virgo is a very mental Earth Sign, scrutinizing data in order to find the best way to proceed. The

Full Moon in Pisces will show the results of these efforts, and encourage us to go inward to find the way to move forward most proficiently. As Virgo is very “left brain”; methodical, critical and precise, Pisces is “right brain” oriented. The Pisces Full Moon will light the way through our unconscious and subconscious minds; through our intuition and “inner knowing.”

On this day we are looking at this balance between our conscious and unconscious minds. These two Mutable Signs are very flexible and open to suggestion. After all, we are trying to improve ourselves, and our lives at a time where our freedom comes into question. Our conscious mind is telling us to investigate all we see happening, while our unconscious mind struggles with spirituality versus escapism. Pisces rules not only enlightenment and the ending of a cycle, but also rules escapism, addiction and drifting. Where do you sit in your life? Do you have the courage to KNOW the truth, or are you trying to flee reality? Are you struggling with fear of the unknown, or researching and probing into the darkness? This Mutable axis alerts us to truly look deep inside ourselves for the answers.

The Sun at 28 degrees Virgo is Trine Pluto at 24 degrees Capricorn. This blessed aspect brings courage and determination to the mix. Pluto is still on the path of transformation of all of humanity, first destroying what was and bringing in a new reality.

The Moon at 28 degrees Pisces is opposite Mars at 3 degrees Libra. Mars is the planet of Energy and how we use it, and in Libra we are working towards being socially active and in relationships that bring balance to our lives. The Moon is also conjoined to Neptune at 21 degrees Pisces; a very harmonious addition to going into deep meditation and contemplation. It directs our actions to be cooperative.

There is also a T-Square between Venus at 11 degrees Scorpio, Saturn at 7 degrees Aquarius, and Uranus at 14 degrees Taurus. These are all Fixed Signs, stubborn, determined and focused. The T-Square is a pattern created when opposite planets form a square with a third planet, forming the letter ‘T’. The squared point is the focal planet, here Saturn in Aquarius, serving as the referee of the two planets in opposition (Venus and Uranus). These three points can drive us to resolve a situation, or jam up the works. The answer lies in Saturn in Aquarius. This planet in this sign has an innate distrust of groups and/or a cynical attitude toward society that may leave you feeling out of step and unable to participate in activities with your peers. Overcoming a sense of aloofness and alienation from others is an important task for you at this time.

So while reality can appear to be gloom and doom; this combination of planets and luminaries are pushing us to “dig deep” for the answers we need. As in all Full Moons, emotions and feelings will be exaggerated, amplified. There is a lot to sift through here, and truly knowing yourself and your motivations is paramount. This need not be so difficult if we utilize our right and left brains in harmony. Embrace the opposition, and discover what lies beneath your fears. Stop feeding them and take the proper steps to discover what you can do for yourself and others.

This is a perfect time to create a quiet moment for yourself, be it in deep meditation or a walking meditation. Feel the ground beneath your feet, or seat, and call in Mother Earth and Grandmother Moon to inform you of a direction to take in your life. Where are you battling in life, and what do you need to succeed? What is your struggle and how can you overcome it? Surrender to these wise archetypes and ask for guidance. Then follow it to the letter, and don’t look back.

New Moon in Virgo 2021

On September 6th, 2021 at 5:52 PM PDT the Sun and Moon are conjoined at 14 degrees Virgo 37 minutes. This New Moon in Virgo is a good one, with many positive possibilities.

Virgo is an Earth Sign, grounded and connected to the planet. It is a Mutable sign, bringing flexibility and adaptability to our emotions. This sign has the warmth of summer, and the cool aloofness of Autumn. It is the last month of Summer, and time to organize and clean out our “stuff” before the Equinox and the changing of the seasons. Virgo wants perfection, and strives to work hard to serve others in its quest for our highest good.

Virgo is the second Earth Sign of the Solar Year.The Earth element brings concern for worldly matters, and will fight for the underdog against injustice. It’s energy inspires caring for our planet, conscious of cause and effect, and taking responsibility for our actions. The energy is grounded in conservation and practicality.

Mercury rules the sign of Virgo, bringing with it a mental acuity and thoughtful interactions. An analytical take on what is happening opens us up to seeing the details in a detached way, enabling us to step out of our emotions and seek clarity and truth.

The Virgin is the symbol for Virgo. Virgin’s are pure and right. The symbol also encompasses fertility and the process one must undertake to bear fruit, in the field and at home. It is the sign of the harvest, and this maiden is sharing her cornucopia with the world.

We have a blessed Trine between the Sun and Moon, and Uranus at 14 degrees Taurus. These two Earth Signs are well aware that our planet and her people are connected and are being reconstructed, transformed and rebuilt under new conditions. Uranus is the planet of change that brings freedom, inventiveness and a new perception. We are being forced into the proverbial rock tumbler; wearing off our rough edges and shining and polishing us into a new version. We will be much more beautiful once this process culminates. It will take perseverance as we are given the clues to our transformation. The good news is the sign of Taurus is determined and steadfast, with the energy to see this through.

So when celebrating this New Moon, it is time to give thanks for our bodies, our consciousness, and to ask Spirit to place us where we are most needed. There are many changes happening around us from Summer ending, to our world in chaos. It is time for those random acts of kindness with no expectation of reciprocation. As with the harvest and the abundance Summer has brought us, it is time to share, be generous. Consider we are all one humanity, and what goes around comes around. What do you have to share? Is it a talent or skill? An overabundance of garden fruit and vegetables? A warm conversation really listening to another and helping however you can? The Virgo energy urges us to simplify, as in cleaning out a closet. I bet there is something in there to share in a giveaway. One person’s trash is another person’s treasure, and there is always someone in need.

So on this beautiful evening, before the Sun sets in our time zone, it is time to build your altar with your “harvest”, be it flowers, fruits, crystals, rocks; all Earth gifts. Make it beautiful, a true inspiration, and let your creativity flow! Once you have set your sacred space, bring yourself into a deep contemplation, meditation. Breathing in and out deeply and slowly, allow yourself to feel the calm of gratitude, the inner peace of knowing this special moment is important. You are setting your intention of how to be of service to “all that is.” See yourself in a new light, a bright shining example of humanities best. You are full of love, full of creativity, full of ever growing wisdom. You see the possibilities of how to become an even better person once you admit to yourself that you are divine. A drop in the sea of Spirit. Part of the whole, yet an individual with purpose. Now, ask for insight and the discernment between what is your future and what lies in the past. Once you understand what lies clearly in the past, you can begin accessing the future. Say goodbye to the old and welcome in tomorrow. Let us all follow the old adage, “Love Thyself”, and bring our shadows into the Light!

Wednesday, September 22 is the Autumnal Equinox! More about that to come soon.

The Second Aquarius Full Moon 8/22, 2021

On August 22nd at 5:02 AM PDT we have our second Aquarius Full Moon. (Read the article on the first Aquarius Full Moon for insights).The Sun is stationed at 29 degrees Leo 37 minutes, and the Moon is at 29 degrees Aquarius 37 minutes. With this energy presenting itself for the second time, we have some loose ends to tie up.

Since the last Full Moon, we cycled through the New Moon in Leo, (Fire sign) quite different from the New Moon in Cancer (Water sign) that preceded the first Full Moon in Aquarius. That New Moon was setting up our family goals, being nurtured and nurturing others, and striving for compassion. This New Moon in Leo we had the opportunity to set our sovereignty over our own life, choices, and creative goals. The chart of the Cancer New Moon was a big trap to shake us out of our doldrums and require us to make changes.

This Full Moon has a very interesting chart. The Moon is joined by Jupiter, stationed at 26 degrees Aquarius, (Air sign). Jupiter lends its energy to expand, enlarge the Moon’s energy. Jupiter in Aquarius is the troubleshooter here, with many “bright ideas” of how to emotionally heal. Aquarius is an innovative sign, and the Moon is all about our emotional selves, so big progress can be made here; especially if we stay detached. Getting lost in emotions can happen on the Full Moon, but this one is more calm and collected, and mental.

With the Sun in its last degree of Leo, this Fire Sign is making a big statement in an aspect called a “Yod.” The planets involved are the Sun in Leo, Neptune in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn, both planets inconjunct the Sun. This aspect to the Sun is termed, “The Finger of God” as it points to the Sun as the fulcrum, the uncomfortable, incompatible energy in question. Neptune says to the Sun, clarity will come when you quiet your ego and listen to your small voice inside. Pluto says to the Sun, get grounded and off your high horse; cool off and start progress. The Sun replies, I wish to become a FULLY REALIZED HUMAN BEING. And so it begins.

With 5 planets retrograde, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, we are encouraged to review. These outer planets are the big chess pieces, and in order to move forward there must first be an exploration, a reconsideration of where we are in our lives and are we headed in the right direction? We are in preparation for the last month of Summer, with the Sun in the Earth sign of Virgo. That will be a different lesson, so with the last of the fiery days of Leo, examine your boundaries. Are you the center and source of your environment?

This Fire sign wants authority in their world, admiration from those in their “pride”, and respect. Have you earned it? Have you looked at your family, friends and others as dependents that you resent, or have you thrived in your creative pursuits and shared it willingly? These clues are to steer you into LETTING GO. Maybe up until now, you haven’t accomplished all that you have wanted to, but don’t beat yourself up for it! Take this moment to change your mind. There are always two sides of a coin, look at both sides of your situation and see where the door leads out. Follow the EXIT sign to the higher thought, brought about by Jupiter in Aquarius. You can find all the answers, as you wish to, through contemplation, meditation, and free yourself.

We are all swimming in the same sea of celestial energies, with the opportunity to upgrade. It takes courage and forgiveness of oneself to move forward. So, no matter what yesterday was about, tomorrow brings freedom and relief to those who look within for answers. Be the change you wish to see in the world.
