Pisces Solar Eclipse: Starting Fresh and Feeling Whole Again

Tomorrow, March 20th 2015 at 2:36 AM (PST) there will be a Pisces Solar Eclipse. This is a very powerful Eclipse and a great opportunity for everyone to start fresh. 

 We've been hit hard recently with some intense astrological events such as Saturn's retrograde and the Pluto and Uranus square that we've had going on for awhile. Perhaps there has been lots of turmoil in your life and stress as well. This Solar Eclipse may give you the opportunity to start over  though. 

There will be a lot of planets in Pisces at the time of the Eclipse. The Sun and the Moon of course, but also Chiron, Mercury and Neptune. Needless to say, the Pisces energy will be strong. This Solar Eclipse may help get some of your imaginations going. This could potentially be a really creative time. Dreams may be more powerful around this Solar Eclipse as well. Many of you could have vivid dreams and some of you may feel they contain important messages. Chiron is prominent in the Solar Eclipse because it is relatively close in degree to the Eclipse, although not close enough to make an aspect. Chiron's energy may make some of you decide to heal your wounds once and for all. Pisces is a water sign, so emotions may run high around the Eclipse. Whatever the Eclipse makes you feel, the Pisces energy should hopefully at least make you feel connected to source. This may make some of you feel a sense of wholeness you have not felt in a long time.

Overall, this Eclipse is a great thing. It will give us a new beginning that I think is very important and much needed at this time. It could give us all a chance at healing our wounds and feeling whole again. 

Virgo Full Moon: Releasing Feelings of Inadequacy

Tomorrow, March 5th 2015 at 10:05 AM (PST) there will be a Full Moon in Virgo. This isn't a super intense Full Moon, but the energy is still pretty strong. 

Full Moon's are always an important time to release and let go of what no longer serves us. With the Full Moon in Virgo the most important thing to let go of is criticism and the need to be perfect. Nobody is perfect and self criticism is not going to get you anywhere. The only thing these actions will affect is your self-esteem and not in a very good way. If you are constantly telling yourself that you are not perfect and you constantly criticize yourself and tell yourself you're not worthy, all you will do is spiral down into the abyss of self loathing. This is not a good thing and this Full Moon urges us to let go of those negative tendencies. The Sun in Pisces is at the other half of this Full Moon and Pisces has an energy that reminds us that at the core of our beings we are all perfect and loved. This Pisces energy is important to tap into this Full Moon if you have been having self-esteem issues. 

The Pisces Sun is also urging us to get out of our heads and to follow our hearts as well. This is a great thing to do and may also help self-esteem issues because when you are in your head perhaps you compare yourself to other people and start to feel bad about yourself. If you are following your heart though, you may realize that everyone is following their own special path and that you are special in your own right. The Pisces heart centered energy may make some of you feel creative as well. Creativity is a great way to release pent up feelings, so creative pursuits are always  good Full Moon activities

Pluto will be trine the Full Moon. Pluto is known as the most intense planet, but because it is trine the Moon it will be helping us out in a positive way. Pluto is all about transformation,  so on this Full Moon we must transform are thoughts and feelings and release those that are not beneficial to us. 

During this Full Moon the Virgo energy may help some of us become more organized and grounded as well. This is a good thing with all the Pisces energy going on! A Full Moon happens when the Moon is opposing the Sun, so there are always two energies pulling us in two different directions. With this Full Moon the two energies are that of Virgo and Pisces. The Virgo energy wants to help us become more organized and grounded like I said, but the Pisces energy makes us want to dream and lounge about. I personally have been feeling this tug of war the last few days. I've been making tons of to do lists as I've wanted to become more organized (Virgo energy), but I've had trouble pushing myself to complete everything on my to do list because I have literally wanted to lounge about and read poetry instead! ( Pisces energy). Perhaps some of you understand this current opposing energy. 

Overall this Full Moon should help us release feelings of inadequacy, help us to follow our hearts, transform our thoughts, to become more organized and also may help us to remember to dream and soak up the beauty that is life. This Full Moon will affect those who have Virgo in their charts the strongest, so look for where you have Virgo in your Natal Chart to see where this Full Moon will affect you. I wish you all the best and to remember that you are all already perfect and to stop beating yourself up if that is something you've been doing. Don't dim your light by thinking you're not good enough, own your light and shine it out to the world! You deserve it and the world needs your light as it is. 

Full Moon in Leo: A Little Bit of Luck is Coming Your Way

Tomorrow, February 3rd 2015 at 3:09 PM (PST), there will be a Full Moon in Leo. Full Moons are always a bit intense and emotional, but this one should be quite lucky as well. 

With the Full Moon in Leo people might seem to be more egotistical than normal. This is an important time though, to let go of any selfishness that you may have in order to see the bigger picture and get along with everybody. The Full Moon is always composed of the Moon opposing the Sun. The Moon is of course in Leo, which is the sign that wants to stand out from the crowd. The Sun however is in Aquarius, which wants us to get along with everybody and do what is best for the greater good. Some people might need to let go of selfishness during this Full Moon, but others may need to step into the spotlight and allow themselves to shine, it all depends on what your personal issues are. 

Leo is a very creative sign and Full Moon's are the time each month that it is important to release. Putting these two things together could result in releasing any feelings you might have through creativity. 

There are two big aspects to the Full Moon. The first is a conjunction with Jupiter. This is really lucky! Look out for a bit of luck coming your way. This is a particularly good aspect if you have been deserving of some recognition for something you have done, because under this influence, you just might get it! The second aspect is a trine between  Uranus and both the Moon and the Sun. Uranus always throws unexpected surprises our way. Sometimes the 'surprises' are things that aren't quite so wonderful. Jupiter's involvement in the Full Moon though, shows that any surprises we might get  could be really lucky and wonderful ones!

Overall this Full Moon looks pretty great in comparison to other more intense Full Moons. Jupiter and Uranus's involvement indicate lucky surprises, so look out for that and enjoy this unexpected lucky Full Moon! 

Mercury Retrograde: Time to Slow Down and Smell the Flowers

Today, January 21st 2015, Mercury has stationed retrograde in Aquarius. It will be retrograde until February 11th. Mercury retrogrades always get a bad rap, but they are really just an opportunity to slow down and reflect. 

Like the girl in the picture above, we need to take time to smell the flowers during this retrograde. Mercury retrograde has become frustrating in contemporary times because it is so incompatible with our fast paced, technology filled lives. If we allow ourselves to slow down a bit and to take in life during this retrograde things may not seem so frustrating. When it comes to communications and technology, the key is patience. In the old days when people communicated by letter and what not, I bet they weren't sitting around waiting for their letters with impatience and frustration as we sit around these days waiting for a response to a text or email we had only sent an hour before. If we have patience and are flexible, this retrograde won't affect us in such a bad way. Aquarius rules technology, so this retrograde may affect technology more than usual, so that's why patience is so important for this particular retrograde. 

Mercury retrogrades are such great times to turn inward and reflect. This retrograde in particular may give us some great new and innovative ideas since it is in Aquarius. This could be a creative time. It's just not a good time to start anything though, so wait to put your big ideas into action until the retrograde is over. 

Aquarius has to do with friendship and community, so during this retrograde we may want to re-connect with old friends or any community or groups you are part of. The emphasis though is on old friends or friends you already have as Mercury retrograde is not usually a good time to join a new group or make new friends. 

The first day of the retrograde Mercury is conjunct the Moon, so the retrograde may start off in an emotional way. The night before some of you may have had insomnia because there was a New Moon and then right after that the Moon linked up with Mercury. Your minds may have been buzzing with excitement or ideas and you may have found it hard to go to sleep. Mercury will also be opposing Jupiter for awhile, which may be frustrating because Jupiter may be urging us to grow and expand and try new things, but Mercury wants us to slow down. 

Overall this Mercury Retrograde shouldn't be too intense. Just remember to slow down, drink in life and reflect. Patience is a big key to this retrograde as well, so don't lose your cool. Patience is always a virtue during a Mercury retrograde. 

New Moon in Aquarius: Innovative Ideas , Friendship and Community

On January 20th 2015 at 5:14 AM (PST) there will be a New Moon in Aquarius. There isn't a lot going on with the New Moon as there are no aspects it is involved in. However, it is a Super Moon, which means that the Moon will be closer to the earth, so this New Moon may affect us more than it might otherwise. 

Aquarius is an air sign, which means Aquarius is related to the mental realm. Aquarius is particularly known for innovative ideas and thinking outside the box. This means that this New Moon may give many of us some great new ideas. If any of you have been stuck in a creative rut or been looking for a solution to a problem, this New Moon may be just what you need. 

Aquarius is a friendly sign, it encourages us to make new friends and to become part of a community.  This New Moon may bring some new friends or connections to some of your lives. If you want to feel a sense of community, but don't belong to one, perhaps an opportunity to join one will arise in your life. Perhaps some of you will be pushed to join a social media site or to become more involved on a social media platform you are already on. Social media combines technology, networking, and a sense of community. All of these things are related to Aquarius, so social media could be something that you feel more drawn to during this New Moon. 

Overall this shouldn't be a very intense New Moon, even if you feel some of the effects more strongly because it is a Super Moon. Aquarius is not a particularly emotional sign, so whatever happens with this New Moon, it shouldn't be too emotional. To see how it will personally affect you, looking for any Aquarius in your Natal Chart would be a good place to start.
