Full Moon in Virgo: Time to Let Go of Perfectionism and the Little Details While Stepping into Alignment With Our Spiritual Sides

On Thursday (March 1st 2018 4:51 PM PST) we will be having a Full Moon in Virgo! This is a highly emotional time we've been going through,  where we can really get into our spiritual side with 5 planetary bodies in Pisces. At this Full Moon we are asked to release some habits and behaviors that don't serve us, so that we can heal and be more at peace. 

We have so much Piscean energy around right now, but at this Full Moon we are being asked to turn to Pisces' opposite ( Virgo) to look at some habits and energies to be released and some ways to balance the Pisces and Virgo polarity. 

1. We need to release criticism and perfectionism. 

We need to stop being so hard on ourselves at this time. Stop judging yourself so harshly and obsessing over not being 'perfect enough'. We can use the Piscean energy to heal these issues. On the level of spirit we are perfect. Think of yourself as a newborn baby. Would you criticize a new born? Deep inside there is nothing wrong with you, so start getting in touch with spiritual perfection and accept that the material world has it's flaws without getting too obsessed with them. 

2. It's time to release getting caught up in all the small details

Time to zoom out on your life! Don't worry about all the little things. It's time to get a grip on the big picture. Go with and trust the flow. 

3. Release routines that aren't serving you. 

Perhaps create new ones! Evaluate which routines in your life replenish your spirit. Perhaps you need to make some space to meditate or be out in nature on a regular basis. Going to bed earlier or eating healthier and changing your routines in that sort of way is helpful now as well. 

4. Time to heal. 

The Pisces and Virgo axis can deal with healing in different ways. Pisces is about spiritual healing and Virgo is about the health of the physical body. Full Moons are a time of release, so it's a good time to release anything that is holding you back from healing and being healthy. It's time to heal on an emotional and spiritual level as well as on a physical level. 

5. Balance spirit and matter.

When dealing with the Pisces Virgo axis we need to balance spirit and matter. Balance our spiritual life with grounding in the physical if we feel like we're lost in space or bringing spirituality into our everyday lives if we've been more focused on the material world. Whatever you learn and want on a spiritual level you should bring into your day-day life as well. Manifest in the physical what you've been wanting on a soul level. 

There are some aspects going on at the time of the Full Moon that I want to talk about as well. 

One is that the Sun will be nearing a conjunction with Neptune. This gives extra strength to the emphasis on Pisces right now because Neptune is the modern ruler of Pisces. Becoming in touch with the spiritual side of things is so important at this time. Allow yourself to see the bigger picture in life as well as connecting with the universe. Feel your feelings at this time with the emotional Pisces energy and let yourself feel compassion. Get in touch with your intuition and go with the flow. 

Venus will also be involved in some positive aspects at the time of the Full Moon. Mercury is moving into a conjunction with it (they're both in Pisces) and Venus will be exactly trine Jupiter in Scorpio. Love and relationships could be highlighted! Also, what we love and what brings us pleasure in general. 

The Mercury and Venus conjunction allows us to communicate our feelings to those we love/are involved with. Also, it can help us really speak from our hearts and higher selves in general. 

Venus trine Jupiter on the other hand is quite an exciting and big aspect! It's a lucky aspect as well because these two planets are the benefics in Astrology. This aspect brings lots of expansion! It's time to expand on the things we deeply desire. Expanding what we love and going after what we have been wanting on a soul level. This is great for opening and expanding our hearts as well. For relationships this is expansive and great. Wonderful time to grow further within a relationship. Or perhaps to get lucky if you are not in a relationship, but would like to be! Venus makes a sextile to Pluto a couple days before the Full Moon, which shows lots of transformation as well. Lots of positive change and growth around relationships and the things we love! 

💫Overall this is a wonderful, watery, emotional and spiritual time. We are getting more in tune with our spirits, and letting go of nit picky things that aren't serving us. We are also growing and transforming in terms of all the things we love. 💫

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius: It's Time to Share Your Authentic Self With Others

Get ready because on Thursday (February 15th 2018 at 1:05 PM PST) we are having a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius! We are starting a new cycle that will last until July. 

With the Lunar Eclipse two weeks ago we were wrapping up a cycle that lasted for almost six months. That cycle was centered around the North Node in Leo. It was all about stepping into our authenticity and true selves. Shining our light and following our hearts. 

Now it's about integrating what we learned with the Leo energy into the Aquarius energy. It's important that we do not forget everything we learned during the last eclipse cycle centered around the North Node in Leo. Now it's about sharing our authentic selves with others. Tapping into our inner light so that we can help others. We need to bring our real, true, authentic, powerful selves into all our relations with other people. We need to keep following our hearts, but now balance it with our heads as well. 

It's important not to get sucked into the side of Aquarius that wouldn't serve us, however. You could call it 'the shadow side'. Don't just follow the crowd or do things that every else wants you to do. Bring your authentic self into all your interactions. It's time for you to share the real you with others. You can give back and share your light with the world when you are authentic. Blending in and fitting in really doesn't help anyone. Aquarius's modern day ruler is Uranus, which is all about breaking out of the box and being different. So tap into the part of Aquarius that is zany and different and embrace that part of you that is unique. It's also important to not get too detached. Remember to be fully present and to follow your heart. Don't become too in your head. Balance the two. 

Mercury will be conjunct the Eclipse and making a sextile to Uranus. This is powerful because Uranus rules Aquarius like I just mentioned. Mental energy is high with the Mercury conjunction. Lots of ideas and out of the box thinking. Unexpected messages or news could accompany the Eclipse. Uranus brings the element of change. Change is in the air, we are starting a new cycle, so embrace it! This is a time of new beginnings. New beginnings built on things we learned about ourselves in the last six months. 

Venus wil also be making a sextile to Saturn at the time of the eclipse. This is good for starting to build the life we want and to commit to it. Venus in Pisces is an emotional energy that can help us follow our feelings and take them into account. If anyone is focused on relationships around the Eclipse it's a good time to commit and get serious. This can even just mean committing and getting serious about your dreams. 

One last thing to mention is that all the planets that have moved through Aquarius lately have squared Jupiter. This is a reminder about remembering to follow our deep desires and our feelings. Aquarius is a detached mental sign, but we are being encouraged to not forget about our hearts and feelings during this new cycle that's beginning. 

~Overall this is an exciting time of new beginnings! We spent the past six months stepping more into our authentic power and into our heart space. Now we get to share that with the world and connect with others! If you are familiar with your birth chart, whatever house has Aquarius in it/on the cusp is the area of life that will be a focus until July. I hope everyone's lives continue to unfold in beautiful ways. Remember to share the beauty and truth of who you are with the world now and with those around you~
