Welcome to an insightful time at this Virgo Full Moon! While Virgo is the sign of organization and perfection, I would caution you not to be too hard on yourself or others... given that the Sun in the opposite sign of Pisces is also conjunct Neptune. What a wonderfully creative time this can be, especially in the arts - painting, music and photography are highlighted. Imagination and time spent with your inner guidance will help you sort out what needs to be done. Be aware that the downside of a Sun/Neptune alignment can show up in escapism, whether binge-watching TV or numbing-out under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. Burying one's head in the sand, knowing you need to take steps toward self-healing, would be a self-defeating exercise now.
The polarity between adaptable Virgo, an Earth sign and adaptable Pisces - Water is the healing axis of well-being. It's important to take/make some time for oneself for introspection and contemplation before making decisions. It's also necessary to realize that the Sun in Pisces is making a push to retreat, meditate or just go with the flow until clarity begins to break through. Once you've recognized what you already knew you needed, but had buried it for whatever reason... fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of having no control... (f.e.a.r. = false evidence appearing real...) then it's time to visit the Virgo end of the polarity and acknowledge, write down and begin to take steps toward reaching your goals.
Remember the Wish List you made at the Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse two weeks ago? How are you doing moving in that direction? Networking, friends and acquaintances all figure strongly in the chart of this Full Moon, given that the Moon is lodged in the 11th House. Loyalties may shift because every individual has her own concerns and the Moon is fickle after all. She's also adaptable! You have a larger pool of acquaintances to call on to help you reach your goals. Chose wisely who to align with, preferably persons not too emotionally attached to outcomes, and don't let ego, yours or someone else's... get in the way of taking care of yourself.
Another thing about this Full Moon chart is the Libra Ascendant being ruled by Venus, quietly directing things from behind the scenes. Venus loves nature, beauty and harmony, as well as having the resources to enjoy them. With the communication energy of Mercury in the same sign and vicinity as Venus, you can be a caring listener for partners needing uplifting. Venus is also moving toward a positive alignment with enthusiastic Jupiter in Scorpio, which brings opportunity for deeper connection and the healing of old wounds. Venus is moving away from a challenging aspect to Mars, co-ruler of Scorpio, reminding us not to let impatience or irritating circumstances get in the way of possible healing. This is a good time for uncovering resources, both imaginative and hidden. Let the magnetism of the harmonious union of Venus with Jupiter act as a healing balm for all involved.
Remember, keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground~

New Moon Solar Eclipse
The Moon comes together with the Sun at 4:05pm tomorrow in the 27th degree of Aquarius. We know that this is called a New Moon and it also happens to be a Partial Eclipse of the Sun, which we won't be able to see in North America. Why doesn't an Eclipse occur at every New or Full Moon? Because the Moon doesn't always cross the nodal point on the ecliptic at exactly the same time each month!
When the inner (Moon) and outer (Sun) energies, otherwise known as "the Lights" join together, they can work harmoniously toward a similar goal. The New Moon in Aquarius sets up a lunar month focused on connections, networking and groups. As a Fixed Air sign, Aquarius lives up to its' reputation for friendliness, independence and thinking outside the box. The Eclipse heightens the opportunities for change to happen sooner and more intently. Use this energy wisely. Be careful what you wish for!
The detached manner of this 11th sign of the Zodiac expresses itself by loving freedom, speaking up for the rights of individuals and being unconventional. However, Aquarians can get stuck in thinking that because they care about the group as a whole, they don't have to change their minds! Usually, when the Sun travels through Aquarius, we have the energy to focus on our goals and who can help us reach them. Progressive brainstorming and logical thinking come to the forefront in the lunar month ahead.
Looking at the chart for this New Moon, we see that Mercury, planet of communication and inquiry, aligns closely to the Moon and the Sun. Mercury is comfortable in Aquarius and brings the added ability to study and do research. All three of these planets are leaving a challenging aspect to Jupiter (expansion) in Scorpio (intense emotional connections), where we've been asking the question, just how much do I have to give of myself in order to get my needs met?! Another separating aspect they're making is a more positive sextile to Uranus, planetary ruler of Aquarius. Did you recently, last day or so... have an opportunity to make new connections or realign your focus for obtaining your own goals?
There's a thread here folks, one that requires you to look with fresh eyes at what may at first appear to be daunting, but in fact, leads to fulfillment of some of your hopes and dreams. You need to be honest with yourself first about anything that holds you to the past. Review tonight and into tomorrow, so you can let go of stuck thinking. Then make a new wish list of what you envision for yourself in the future. Then, after the New Moon tomorrow afternoon, you can begin (baby steps) to make connections, set up a website, take a class in technology, or join a group or committee where you can work with like-minded others for the good of the whole, whether it's an organization, a community or a special interest group.
Remember to keep your mind open... while your head is in the stars and your feet are on the ground.
