The Virgo Full Moon on March 1, 2018, at 4:51 p.m. PST occurs at 11 degrees Virgo. This methodical Moon with its need to analyze and seek perfection opposes the receptive Pisces Sun, as well as a stellium of planets that include Neptune, Mercury, Venus, and Chiron.  Review your New Moon Aquarian dreams with the mercurial sharpness of Virgo, and you will spot where you may need to make adjustments or take your next leap of faith.  Believe in your quest! “There is a dance that only you know how to do.” ~ Gabrielle Roth

The Sun’s Piscean energy is at its best when committed to a dream or ideal involving the self.  The Virgo Moon is at her happiest when she can reveal her ideal form of communicating in an exacting, receptive manner.  The Moon is Perigee allowing her energy to more readily integrate the pathways of your inner world.  Powerful Neptunian energies may leave you feeling disillusioned, confused, or sensitive, or provide mystical insights for your vision.  Quiet contemplation may bring awareness opening the door for inner dialog as you brainstorm remedies to obstacles and ponder perfection to your dreams and inspirations.  “There is power and beauty when we listen to the whisper. ” ~ Madisyn Taylor

This earthy Moon will be working overtime to stay grounded with the stellium in mutable watery Pisces.  Virgo asks us to analyze, pay attention to detail, clean up whatever messes we have left behind, get fit and healthy, emotionally go inward, and be of service to others.  In contrast, intuitive, receptive, elusive Pisces, is where you seek the ideal. It is where you receive the gift of introspection, compassion, and dreams ~ where boundaries dissolve:  the veils are thin between reality and dreaming.  You enter the magical world of the psyche.  You are being asked to believe. Be open. Receptive. Imaginative. Intuitive. These energies oppose each other, like night and day, and the best use of them is to embrace their energy and integrate them.  Saturn in Capricorn provides the weighty structure and discipline needed for integration.  “Beginning is easy; continuing hard.”  ~ Unknown Japanese Quote

Mercury, the winged messenger, ruler of Virgo is providing Piscean intuitive communications to our emotional self.  Listen carefully.  A degree away Venus, exalted in Pisces, is informing him of her desires concerning any matter of the heart whether it is of the self or others.  Both planets trine Jupiter in Scorpio allowing expansion of deeper truths to be communicated.  Use this energy wisely now as Mercury will be going out of bounds by the next New Moon, March 17, 2018, making him unreliable, erratic, and perhaps even confused.  He stays out of bounds until April 7th.  “You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it is better to listen to what it has to say.”  ~ Paulo Coelho

The challenges of this critical Moon under siege by Piscean energy may best be navigated by creatively manifesting a receptive, open-minded mode of communication with yourself and the world at large.  Believe. Trust. Connect.  “Yes, you can.” ~ Unknown
