Virgo Full Moon: Time to clean up your Act!

We experience a Virgo Full Moon March 7th and the Moon in this intellectually driven earth sign is not always comfortable. Virgo is the sign opposite Pisces. This axis of the Zodiac Wheel deals with organization and creativity. Finding a balance between being too erratic and untethered yet not so strict that one misses out on the fun things in life is the focus here. Virgo likes order and hates messy emotions. Well, Full Moons bring big emotions here in Virgo a mental restlessness may be present for many.

Virgo is the second Earth sign of the Zodiac. All Earth signs are hard working and grounded. They are good at taking a step back and really thinking through their decisions. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, putting a focus on intellect with this sign. Virgo is a master at planning, thinking logically, and though they have a thirst for collecting knowledge like their sister sign Gemini, they are good at categorization when Gemini fails. This stable sign reminds us to take time to organize and clean up our lives, our thoughts, and even our closets.

This Full Moon in Virgo will bring some urgent energy to finish projects we have started with a square to impatient Mars. Collectively the energy may feel very urgent and the stuff we put to the side to do later, will pile up as later becomes now. The message here is to tend to what you have been ignoring. Virgo has big healing energy and reminds us to take care of our bodies, eat clean, look clean, be clean! Virgo is the Virgin after all! The nit picking Virgo often does with their loved ones is only because they see the potential for perfection on those they love. They only want their loved ones to see it to. So FFS wash your face, tuck in your shirt, and remember Virgo wants you to love yourself as they see you. Perfectly clean, nice, and neat.

This Full Moon will urge us to do some pre-spring cleaning. With the Sun, Neptune and Mercury currently in Pisces, however there is some creative energy int he skies. It is a good time to doodle in your sketch pad and write some poetry about how you are feeling. Virgo gets shit done while Pisces meanders about daydreaming and reminding us that life is a piece of art. Also a very healing sign, Pisces asks us to care for those around us with compassion and love. Virgo reminds us to turn that healing energy inward to our own needs. Cleanliness is close to Godliness when Virgo is involved. As we clean out homes, we should also take a peak inside ourselves and see where we may need to clean up our emotional baggage now also. It is a good time to gain clarity on what is serving you and what is bogging you down. Clean up your act this Virgo Full Moon!

Pisces New Moon: Follow Your Dreams.

Pisces is the last sign of the Zodiac. They have big hearts, big feelings, and big imaginations. Pisces is all water and likes to flow through life wherever the tide takes them. This soft and peaceful sign is ruled by Neptune and rules over the 12th house. Right now the Sun has moved into Pisces and the Moon has followed suit asking us t embrace the themes represented by this sign.

See that person over there. The one with the dreamy glint in their eye. The one doodling in their notebook. The one humming a tune they created on a whim in their head. Ya, that's Pisces. Known to be creative, Pisces can be found at any given time coming up with song lyrics in their head and dancing to their own tune. Show them a video of a puppy, a kitten, a llama and they will turn on the waterworks with all the compassion in their hearts often overflowing for those around them, especially those they care for. Pisces cares. Though their dreamy stare can sometime indicate detachment, trust me, they are connected to everything and all around them.

Pisces is the dreamer, the mystic and is associated with spirituality. The 12th house where this sign resides motes it to be. Lets be clear, Pisces is spiritual. Not Religious. Think that soul connection to source we all feel from time to time. This house represents that. The universal connection to the energy around us is seen here, with this sign. The 12th house also holds the downtrodden cast aways of society, that which is hidden from us, and our own self undoing. Often it is because certain traits and themes are stowed away in the 12 house we are unaware of them, and thus they become our own self-undoing. This is the house of bad habits. The house of addictions. The art of being aware is not a trait found here in the sign of Pisces. Check out Aries if your are looking for that.

This sign and the 12th house is not all doom and gloom however. Selfless, compassionate love is seen here. The art of doing good for others. The art of being a servant is seen here. Pisces, with their bleeding heart, gives all of themselves to good causes at their best. At their worst, they attempt to escape their bleeding heart with drugs, drink, or simply sleeping life away. Pisces loves to sleep. This sign rules dreams and the subconscious mind. During Pisces transits you can connect with your subconscious most readily accessing answers to questions you didn't know you had. These transits are a great time for meditation or dream journaling because of this. Intuition is found here as well. When we choose to tap in and go deep, as Pisces asks, we can find the secrets lying in our soul.

Ok, ok so lets get into this New Moon on February 20th in this dreamy sign. This new Moon will be rather sweet, I imagine. The emotional Moon is happy in this compassionate sign. We may all shed a tear or two when Pisces is visited by the Sun and Moon. We may see the point of view of others around us more clearly and empathize more readily. The only hinderance I see is Saturn sitting within 3 degrees of this Moon. Saturn is slow moving and has blocking energy. If interested in using this creative energy to start a new project as we often are encouraged to do with New Moons, you may find some blocks to accessing the imaginative vibes of this Moon. So It may not be the time just yet to start such projects. It is however a good time to come up with a disciplined, step by step plan for success. Saturn loves him some D. That D is for DISCIPLINE. Emotions may not be as free flowing now as we would expect with this Pisces energy and it will be hard to deny the pull to hold back. With Neptune and Venus in Pisces as well, the creative flow will come as the day goes on and the Moon moves closer to these two planets and away from Saturn's strict hold.

Some key ideas for the New Moon: Look at how you handle your emotions and the emotions of others. Can you gain some new perspective here to allow yourself to react to the needs of others AND YOURSELF with compassion and love. Allow yourself to lay in bed a little and dream. Self-love can include rest and the time to reset. Pisces season is about remembering to approach yourself with the compassion you give to friends, family, and your puppy. Go on give yourself some puppy love!

Full Moon in Leo: Find your courage!

Leo is the second fire sign of the zodiac. They are large, in charge and this Full Moon on the 5th of February will come in with a ROAR! Leo is ruled by the Sun, so this sign often has a lot to prove. They have no problem making a point known when they have something to say. Leo is at home on the stage and enjoys boldly making a statement. This confidence that many Leo's are born with is seen by others and is truly something I admire about them. It's as if the creator came from making Cancer, who is often so unsure of them selves, and had enough! They decided to make a sign very opposite of this, with the same love for family and the loyalty of a dog. Boom Leo was born and they are here to show the world what they're made of.

Leo women are often sexy, yet have a down to earth energy that allows them hang with the guys at the game on Sunday. They are able to shit talk, drink beer, and in their youth scrape their knees climbing trees. Then as Friday night arrives they do their hair, put on the tight dress, and hit the dance floor. Hello J LO! We see you Leo goddess! Leo men also have a bit of a dichotomy about them. Sometimes we see the Leo male in a suit, straight laced, demanding respect in the work place. Friday night comes and there he is, popped collar on his red button down shirt, turning heads as he gets out of his red Ferrari. Leo men know how to flex. They know how to flash, and they have swag for days. It is only logical the Ben Affleck is a Leo as well. It is as if J LO really was in search of her equal when she attracted him. The interesting thing I find with Leo men, is for as much swag as they have, they often have many female friends who they are able, somehow to get along with famously. Though of masculine quality, Leo men have a knack for making their girls that are friends feel appreciated, and understood. I find the same to be true for Leo women. They often have many male friends that they can kick it with as if they were one of the guys.

What does it mean to have a Leo Moon in your birth chart? The Moon in Leo, overall brings some drama to the way one expresses their emotions. The owner of this feisty Moon, has some spice to how they communicate their feelings. If you don't listen, then they will just scream louder. Till that scream becomes a cry. Then that cry turns to a bonfire that burns the place down. The emotional, sensitive, and soft Moon in Leo has a fiery temper. This Moon must guard against being too bossy, controlling, and slightly selfish. The one thing those with the Moon in Leo have is confidence in what they feel. Even if they fail to convey this in their huffing and puffing. They long for the same confidence in how others feel about them, so they will show off, to hear feedback that gives them the assurance to move forward. Leo Moon will put on a show if needed to get what they want. Praise is often what they need. They also need a lot of love. To know they are loved is huge for a Leo Moon. If you love a Leo Moon and let them know and truly prove to them how you feel, they will be loyal till the end. Leo Moons are also creative, with the ability to create beautiful things form their dramatic feelings.

This Leo Full Moon will challenge us to look in the mirror and see where we are lacking confidence and courage. Looking deep, we must ask ourselves, is there something we have wanted to achieve, but have placed on the back burner out of the fear of failing. Now it is time to muster the courage up to take the leap. With a tense T-Square occurring between the Sun in Aquarius and the rebel Uranus in Taurus, this Full Moon may be a challenging one. There can be some uncertainty about what we are feeling collectively now. We may feel anxious or restless at this time. Especially those with Leo, Taurus, or Aquarius placements. There may be some unexpected news that brings about surprising feelings for us. Addressing these feelings will be critical to moving forward and getting closure that may be exactly what is needed right now. The overall message I see here is: don't let fear keep you from looking in the mirror, examining your strengths, peeking at your weakness' at the same time, and learning to love who you are. With the confidence of a Leo!

This will be a rather social Full Moon that urges us to connect with our friends and loved ones. Leo is after all, a very loyal friend to have in your corner! Get out and have a night on the town. Surround yourself with those who make you feel confident. It is a good time for creative projects, singing, dancing, and performing. This is not the time to shy away form the attention on you. Put on the heels. Strut. Your. Stuff!
