Full Moon

Sun 13˚ 00' Pisces
Moon 13˚ 00' Virgo
The daffodils are in full bloom, the birds are really chirpy, there’s
blossom on the trees and the fresh green shoots of the hawthorn are
to be seen. The days are getting longer, the earth is alive and the
promise of spring is around the corner.
How’s everyone been coping with Mercury being retrograde? Yesterday,
the news came out about contaminated petrol although the first report
of it was on the 22nd Feb a few days after the last new Moon but we
are only just hearing about it now!!!!!! Saturn was opposite Neptune
for the second time. The luxury of hindsight - when it’s over we will
say “oh, so that what it was all about”.
I met with some other astrologers to honour Saturn/Neptune and we
talked about repercussions, health issues, lost dreams, escapism, fantasy,
responsibility and reality. All very Saturn/Neptune. The issue of the
environment kept coming up. In Hereford were l work, the local council
is planning on chopping down quite a few trees and l don’t get it.
Do they not realize we need the trees to help us breath, especially
with the present climate of what is happening to the earth? We need
to protect the trees not get rid of them.
The time of the full Moon approaches and this one is eclipsed, a very
important time the ancients would say. At the time of a lunar eclipse
the Earth, Sun and Moon are in a line and the Earth comes in between
the Sun and Moon blocking out the Sunlight that is reflected off the
Moon. Hopefully, if the sky is clear we will be able to see the earth
cast its shadow over the full Moon - what an amazing sight to behold.
We live in very interesting times and this chart is packed with lots
of activity. We have Scorpio rising with Mars, its old ruler, in Aquarius
unaspected. What does this mean? Is there nothing to stand in the way
of Mars????? Or will Mars not get a look in, due to the fact that all
the other planets are making contact with each other in someway. The
Sun and Moon are opposite each other; the Sun is conjunct Uranus conjunct
the north node, and the Moon is opposite Uranus conjunct the south
node.
To have an eclipse, the nodes always have to be involved. The south
node reflects where we have come from, the comfy slippers we like to
put on. The north node highlights were we are going. So, the Moon and
the south node are in Virgo in the 10th house - are we all seeking
perfection and stop ourselves from doing things because we think they
are not going to be good enough? The Sun, Uranus and the north node
are in Pisces in the fourth - maybe what we all need is a spiritual
wake up. What are our beliefs, what keeps us going when the going gets
tough? Virgo after all likes ritual and is very concerned with how
we give service, not only to others but also to ourselves. Pisces thinks
about everyone else and forgets about themselves. Both Virgo and Pisces
are mutable, so everything can change in the blink of an eye.
Mercury once again is quite hidden in this chart being at the lowest
point and moving back in the direction of Neptune. Often when Mercury
is retrograde, it feels like we are going over old ground. So, it is
a good time to catch up on communication that we have been putting
off although things will not feel clear until after the 28th March
when Mercury once again returns to 10 degrees of Pisces where it turned
retrograde on the 14th February.
So which planet out of Saturn and Neptune are we feeling the most?
Which one is shouting the loudest? l leave you with a quote which has
been in my mind all week:
'Life
is what happens while you are busy making other plans'
