FULL MOON - AUGUST 26 2018

This will be a busy Full Moon cycle lasting approximately one month; it begins on August 26, 2018 at 7:58 a.m. EDT.  The Full Moon will be in the sign of Pisces at 3 degrees. 

This Full Moon placement will forms a Yod pattern with the focal point being the transiting North Node.  The Sun is also part of a Grand Earth Trine with Saturn and Uranus and the Moon will be the focal point of a kite formation, making sextiles to Uranus and Saturn.  I know ..a lot of Astrology mumbo-jumbo but many of my Astrology students will understand this.

A Full Moon often speaks of a culmination of events predating this period.  This is a time to harvest the seeds we planted earlier in the garden of life.  This Astrologer has found that it often speaks of what was “planted” when we experienced the New Moon in the same sign, some six months ago.  In this case, it would have been the new Moon in Pisces (March 17, 2018).  The Full Moon is the time when we should review what we put in motion at that time and either forge ahead further with these goals or let go and release what will not work. 

Pisces may deal with mystical undertakings, or taking care of someone who needs our assistance, as Pisces often produces a savior energy.  Much will now depend on if you have any planet (particularly by conjunction, square or opposition) to this 3 degrees of Pisces.

Yods often speak of turning points in life.  Under the influence of a Yod we have to carry out a mental evaluation and make an adjustment.  This may first appear as a fated turn of events and we learn something valuable from previous experiences.  Ultimately, the Yod energies can lead to spiritual awareness. 

Saturn can speak of serious confrontations sometimes with others but often with our self.  This can be a time of re-evaluation of life plans from an emotional perspective due to the influence of the Moon and the North Node.  We are often pointed in the direction that is best for us at this time and can sometimes be brought on through someone coming into our life and helping us along the way.  Saturn wants to formulate a plan of direction that will, over time, create a solid foundation and the Moon often speaks of a change of direction and always adds a certain amount of emotional flair to any situation.  The North Node is our path to follow in life.

The Grand Earth Trine suggests that opportunities are at hand with earthly matters.  This could relate to business opportunities, favorable conditions within the working environment, and/or prospects for advancement in a material sense.  The problem with a Grand Trines is that sometimes they lack motivation.  Things seem extremely easy and we tend to put little effort into anything.  What the Moon does in the kite formation is provide the necessary push to forge ahead and it helps us to push a little towards these opportunities.  Grand Trines can stagnate things while Kites push for advancement in the element of the Grand Trine.

This seems like a good time to make personal changes, to move ahead with any material plans that you have been working on and to make spiritual progress while maneuvering through life events.  Take advantage of these energies as there are many opportunities at hand.  This combination does not happen often.

LIFE AND LOVE

We are individual and yet one, co-existing within the framework of our consciousness, and always reaching to reconnect with our pure essence.   If we are all connected, should we not do our utmost to live in harmony with all living things?

As we mature into ourselves and reach further for our ultimate “being”, we build on this unity with the whole.  We are a spiritual energy dwelling momentarily in an earthly vehicle.  We are not our bodies.  We are not our thoughts.  We are eternal energy. 

We explore to learn.  We are linked to coordinate a universal, pure love.

Our essence also resonates on an internal level but reveals its self through an ongoing process only to those that are ready to experience its existence.  Remaining open to this eventual awakening, releases our bondage to the main focus of material concerns.  It is within our grasp to realize our true “being” and to help facilitate the ongoing awakening that is taking hold in our world.  We are the facilitators of peace; we are the facilitators of love.

We can open our hearts and radiate the love that is our core.  By doing so, we awaken the same in others.  We are not segregated or separate from each other.  We all share this life regardless of distance and we are molding a future for the next generation.

We are the facilitators and the manufactures of peace and love, regardless of our earth’s condition and what we experience through media and other external influences.  It is not hopeless unless you allow this expression to exist.  These are the early days of an evolution.  You are the pioneer.

Our purpose in this life is to keep the process moving forward regardless of obstruction and challenges that lie before us.  We push forward even in the face of adversity and regardless of the current conditions that exist.  These actually push us to work harder.

Live as an example and be the light for others.  Find your true essence simply by living through love. 

You are the light.  We are the light.  This is our essence and our purpose.  Live it; be it and above all else, believe!

SUN IN VIRGO, 2018

The Sun moves into the meticulous earth sign Virgo just before midnight (EDT) on August 23, 2018. 

Virgo is focused on duty and responsibility as well as service rendered.  Virgos wants to do things just right, have a ridged routine, are disciplined in their actions and seeks to improve on things.  Virgo enjoys order and needs things to be in their proper place. 

Ask a Virgo for their help and they will make sure that you get all the details, move along with a sense of direction and find a resolution to any problems by solving them in a methodical and structured manner.

Those with their Sun in the early degree of Virgo will be experiencing the transit of Saturn which is in Capricorn at two degrees (August 24).  Saturn will be making a trine to their Sun.  If you have your Sun in Virgo at approximately five degrees, you will experience this trine right to the end of 2018.  This trine will assist you in earth type matters, such as getting your bills in order, correcting any obstructions in the working environment and correlating any business material that needs to be put in order. 

You may find under this influence that you can work well within the organization and may even get recognition for your hard work and disciplined action.  The houses where Saturn and your Sun are located in will play a big part in defining what areas of life will be affected.  Use this time to get things in order.

Those with their Sun in the mid-teens to early 20 degree mark of Virgo in their birth chart will have the transit of Pluto which will be in Capricorn and making a trine to their Sun throughout the rest of 2018, all of 2019 and beyond.  This is a long transit.  Pluto’s energies want us to go below the surface and to bring anything that needs to surface out where it can be dealt with accordingly.  Pluto is sometimes affiliated with the shadow side of things and will transform and regenerate that which needs to be changed or transformed.  This could include fears that have been ignored or pushed aside for one reason or another.  They will now under this influence be dealt with in a serious manner.  These issues should be faced and then basically let go of in order for something new to take their place in a more positive and reaffirming manner.  Pluto tears things down so that things can be rebuilt.  Some things will perish if this is what is called for. 

Take a look at the house positions of transiting Pluto and your natal Sun to see which areas of life are being rebuilt and converted into something more appropriate for what is required at this time.  Anything that needs to be torn down or repaired will not escape the energies of Pluto.  Virgo will make sure things are done correctly and no steps will be skipped.

Enjoy these energies.  Acknowledge that these changes are beneficial, although they may not be simple.  Life as you know it will most likely be transformed significantly and restructured in such a way that after the process has passed by, an ending of sorts will have taken place if Pluto is involved and life will be more structured and solidified if Saturn is involved. 

Things will not look the same as they were but as you settle into the changes that take place, you will find that they were all positive although possibility challenging (depends how hard you resist).  Perhaps you will fight your way through these challenges or perhaps you may allow the events to unfold and you will enjoy the ride; however you handle therse energies, you will adapt to what is slowly manifesting.

WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS?

Specific monetary and material goals can become a fixation for some people.  They strive to monetarily achieve and often can become obsessive and relentless in their pursuit.  Material abundance or financial success becomes their sole objective and some individuals will stop short of nothing to achieve what they set out to do.

Financial security is not wrong or evil as some would want us to believe.  We currently do live a material existence and comfort and enjoyment are all part of this experience.  Unfortunately, for many financial rewards and positions of power only serve to pad their feelings of superiority and accomplishment. 

For many there is an excitement of accomplishing these material goals but an unhealthy relationship with money can lead us to believe that the more money provides happiness but far too often the financial rewards of “happiness” are short lived as are the feelings of security for some.  Nothing seems to satisfy the hunger for more and they are never satisfied for long.  This is when the drive for security becomes an obsession.

We can have a healthy relationship with money but for those who become obsessed, material success often comes with a steep price, (often at the expense of family relationships and the ability to truly live for anything other than increasing the bottom line). 

For those that have climbed the corporate latter, and when the time comes to retire, do they lose their identity and purpose?  Are their efforts soon forgotten by the corporation?  Does it matter?

During the accent of the corporate latter, many have mentioned a period of when nothing seems to satisfy them and an empty void was experienced that nothing in their lives seemed to fulfill.  This can be a lonely and empty place where gratification and happiness just cannot be found.  Perhaps this is when we begin to realize that material gain just isn’t enough.  We begin to look beyond this focus.  We begin to realize that happiness cannot be purchased.  We realize that happiness is an attitude.  We begin to realize that we can work towards security but we cannot make this effort the sole purpose of living. 

We certainly live in a material world and have come into this life to learn from each lessons we experience here.  Find security in whatever form it is representative to you. 

Be sure that your goals include the ability to feed your hunger to experience, to grow, to love, to be truly happy.

PLANET IN ITS OWN HOUSE

A planet in its own house such as Jupiter in the ninth house, (the ninth house is naturally ruled by Jupiter), is almost as strong as having a planet in its natural sign, such as Jupiter in Sagittarius.  A planet is at home in its natural house position and its energies are comfortable and expressed well there.  Of course, the aspects have an influence on this but if the aspects are more positive or easy flowing ones then the energies will be easily released.

It is important to take into consideration the house a planet is located in as this helps to define how the energies will be released and expresses what areas of is involved.  Having a planet in its own sign and also in its natural house position (Jupiter in Sagittarius and found in the 9^th house) will be very strong and the energies of Jupiter (expansion, good fortune, optimism and favorable outcomes) would have great opportunities to be released in a positive manner when a transiting planet makes an aspect to this placement and energizes the natal potential. 

The energies of the transiting planet as well as the aspects it makes will of course have to be explored; however, even when a challenging aspect or difficult planetary energy makes contact to the planet, the potential for a positive outcome is very high.

Having the Sun in Leo, for example, in the fifth house, would suggest that this individual is very self-expressive, probably has abilities either in the performing arts or through their creative expression and would undoubtedly have the best interests of others in mind, especially their children and lover.  The ability to move ahead in their endeavours and the opportunity to reach their goals would be enhanced. 

If, for example, Saturn was in square to this position (in our example) and in the second house, this individual would probably have to work a little harder at reaching these objectives, but would still likely reach these goals, and in turn potentially creating more inner stability and potential of making a good earn as well.  Their creative expression would be enhanced and they would easily sell themselves to others in a favourable manner.

Do you have planets in their natural house placement in your Astrology chart?
