Full Moon Virgo/Libra

As we have probably heard this upcoming Full Moon is a "super-moon" meaning it's as closer to the earth than usual causing the moon to appear larger in the sky and cause higher than normal tides and perhaps increase likelyhood of earthquakes and other natural disasters. Solar Flare activity, which we have been having, also seems to correspond to earth changes so we have a do have a bit of a double-whammy on our hands. Remember though, there are about 5 "super moon's" a year and you have lived through lot's of "supermoons" before.

the moon will Appear to be quite large, especially as it rises over the horizon. The higher it appears in the sky the smaller it will appear. So if you want get a good look at the "Super Moon", go look at it comes up at 7:49PM PST.


The Solstice Full Moon also features the Sun's Conjunction to Uranus as it enters the first degree of Aries. Astrologically speaking, this is a wildcard as Uranus is the God/Planet associated with unpredictability, disruption, chaos as well as Genius, Liberation, collectives, Networks and the Promethean fire of Magic and Technology. Sudden reversals, unusual synchronicities or weird events are part of the Uranian influence at this time.

So as the transiting Sun conjuncts Uranus and "pours out the light into the moon" we could see some dramatic and critical events. That the Moon is at Perigee ("Supermoon") the amplitude of the energetic signature is especially high and emotions will be naturally be effected. Restlessness, nervousness and the feeling of being "Amped up" is common during these times. Sexual and psychic energy is high as well.

In terms of western Astrology it is the tense aspect between the slow moving planets Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Aries that is most associated with brakdown and restructuring of Civilization and it's infrastructure. Uranus was last in Aries during the Great depression and the build up to WWII, the Two clashing from summer 2010 through 2013 is about as dramatic and explosive as it gets. Pluto and Uranus were conjunct in the 1960's and the aspect they are making is a kind of Turning or maturation point of the energies and themes born during that time. The hippie ethos has percolated and matured and mainstream culture could see a new acceptance of what was once radical : home gardens, permaculture, psychedelics, values of indigenous cultures, hacky sacks.. ect

Neptune moving into it's home sign of Pisces on April 4th will be the "spiritual"element associated with these transformational times and will likely be expressed as people turning and REturning to spiritual traditions as the dominating paradigms come falling down. Uranus in Aries could also feature new technologies or scientific discoveries that give a fresh understanding to our spiritual traditions. Still others will cling to their passions and beliefs and may become more zealous and passionate about whatever paradigm they are attracted to. This could be the time of a subtle but powerful shift in consciousness so needed now.

Anyway, back to this powerful Full Moon,

With the Sun and Uranus Opposing the Moon on the Cusp of Virgo/Libra radical breakthroughs and disruption will be felt in areas of Health, routines, and service. Nervousness and restlessness can be a element of Virgo so naturally people are a bit worried about health issues right now especially with toxic particulates (Virgo rules particles as well).

With the Libra element added we can see issues highlighted in regards to relationships, balance and our sense of Justice. IMBALANCE can also be a theme and things, people, relationships, systems that require precarious balance may lose it, or there could be great effort in sustaining it.

One expression of the Virgo/Libra cusp is equal and fair distribution of important medicines and "particles" such as Iodine or the spread of Radiation in the atmosphere. Another expression my be the linkage of unlikely (uranus) friends (libra) at a time of crisis (Full Moon).

Remeber always, How all this aspects individuals will vary greatly depending on their natal chart.

This moon is powerful but the Eclipses coming this summer will be powerhouses as well and probably even more eventful and filled with dynamic tension and disruptive or transformational energy. There will be THREE back to back June 1st, June 15th and July 1st. Just a heads up on times to come.

Pisces New Moon

This new moon is relatively mild as it makes no significant aspects to the outer planets, unlike the past few Lunations however it is potentiated by 5 planets joined in Pisces underscoring it's "softness" but increasing the possibility to mislead or be mislead by illusion or fantasy. Mars is still nearby and Sextiles Pluto giving potential for claiming available power for spiritual pursuits or working behind the scenes. Mars is katabolic energy which breaks down as does Pluto, the higher octave of mars. Pluto in Capricorn is especially related to breaking down structures too rigid or unbending to the winds of fate. Together there is an opportunity to cleans and purify through surrender and perceive the unity behind the multiplicity of polarity consciousness. seeing the forest for the trees is easier now and staying grounded is more important as it is more easy to float away towards castles built in the air.


Neptune, ruler of Pisces is still in Aquarius and this new moon may herald insights into Neptune's passage into his oceanic home in April. Insights had now, through dream or revelation, may be a preview of what is to come later in the year.

This, and Neptune's transit of Pisces, will be a time where people will turn away from materiality and surrender to a higher form of being, which may be a form of religious devotion, mystical exploration or involvement with compassionate service of those who suffer. This will mark a turning point where technology and scientific discovery, along with enviromental/economic collapse pushes us to examine the big questions in life.

The stellium (collection of planets in the same sign) in Pisces make this a very watery lunation. Emotions and feelings may well trump intellect. With Saturn square venus aspecting the lunation by quincunx, there could be tensions between ideals and expectations that are challenging to incorperate with our deep feelings at the time and ideals (Pisces) may not mesh with expectations and duties (Venus, Saturn).
