The Pisces Full Moon at 7:56am EST on Sunday, reminds us of the vulnerable process of healing. Virgo identifies the specifics of what needs to be healed in an earthy way and Pisces lets the feelings flow around the wound, whether physical, emotional or psychic. It's hard to imagine being open in the way Pisces wants us to be and not feeling wounded all over again, but we must... in order to wash it and release the hurt. Remember that old saying about salt water healing everything? Get in the ocean if you can, or fill a tub with salts and climb in. Be intuitive about what you need to release and immerse yourself in the letting go.
There are two supporting players in this cosmic dance that help to identify the necessity of this letting go process. One is Saturn in Capricorn offering us the chance to own our shortcomings, failures or wounds by sextiling the Pisces Moon in order to do this compassionate work. Uranus in Taurus also sextiles the Moon to show us where we can be free of past hurts by acknowledging a way out of negative habits. These two planetary energies in Earth signs are harmonizing with the Sun to create a flow of practicality and thinking outside the box. This doesn't happen often, so be sure to utilize the possibilities that this Full Moon offers.
The Sun in Virgo is experiencing some friction with Venus at the same time that the Moon is having to find a way to come to terms with Venus need for peace, harmony and balance. That can show up as financial struggle or a simple need to balance your checkbook. Interestingly enough, this chart shows the Moon in the same aspect to Pluto as the Sun to Venus and the same aspect to Venus as the Sun is to Pluto. Moon aspects involving Pluto are more internal and this one can offer a toehold for understanding your own motivations. The Sun/Pluto aspect is externalized and speaks to the lack of control we may be feeling in the world. While we can balance the checkbook, we don't have a lot of say about how the government is being run today or how politics is affecting finances worldwide.
Remember to breathe through the moments of your day, trust in your intuitive ability to know the next right step and keep on keeping on! Oh yes, also remember to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground~

Leo New Moon & A Partial Solar Eclipse
We are two-thirds of the way through eclipse season, meaning there's one more eclipse and that's tomorrow, August 11th. Not visible in the US, we will still feel the effects of this Solar Eclipse and I will look at that shortly. First, I want to explain why I didn't write about the Aquarian Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on July 27th. I generally write my blogs the day before a New or Full Moon.
On July 26th, I was traveling off island to be in Boston early the next morning at MGH (Mass General Hospital) to prep for a lumpectomy on Friday, the 27th. Yes... I was eclipsed by the Full Moon and having surgery to remove cancer from my right breast. I can report that just today, I received a call from the Pathology Dept. saying my margins were clean on the area removed and the lymph removed showed no cancer... yay!! Next step is a meeting with my oncology team to discuss upcoming treatment. Because the tissues (2 spots) removed were small, the diagnosis is good and I anticipate minimal treatment. I am very lucky to have caught this early and feel blessed that my situation is manageable, with an optimistic outlook! In the meantime, I am healing and dealing with a pinched nerve that started the week before surgery and has incapacitated my right hand. Massage, chiropractic and polarity therapy are helping somewhat, but writing is very difficult and picking things up is practically impossible.
Now, let's look at the New Moon in Leo and tomorrow's Solar Eclipse chart. The Sun and Moon come together with communicative Mercury in Leo, allowing strong emotions to come to light, and be spoken about. These can be feelings of love or the need for creative self-expression. They may involve children, a love interest or a deeply felt passion that needs to see the light of day. Sometimes, these issues are best dealt with in a therapeutic setting. Wherever Leo resides in your chart, is where you can be strong, without exerting too much of your will, be playful and express yourself!
Take some time to make a very important New Moon Wish List that involves those things you would like to manifest in your life. Remember to include all the resources that could be helpful, as well as the influential people (Leo/king...) you are connected with, to assist you on your journey to getting your needs met. Don't be afraid to dream BIG!!
Aspects from the Sun, Moon and Mercury to exuberant Jupiter and powerful Pluto bring a sense of optimism and a can-do spirit. Overindulgence can misinform you about the possibilities if you let it. There is a lot of possibility with this Solar Eclipse that can give you the inner strength to achieve your goals. Just remind yourself that Mercury and Mars are still retrograde and pace yourself. The eclipse energy will move in a six month cycle, beginning with awareness, opportunity to act, challenge followed by a time of balance and harmony, then adjustment and finally a clear look at where you will be standing six months from now. If you can imagine your best-case scenario, the future looks bright. If you imagine the worst, you will see only a dim, unfulfilling road ahead.
