The Heroic Lion’s
Roar ~>Awakening the Spiritual Warrior
“A hero is somebody who
voluntarily walks into the unknown”. Tom Hanks
The first month of the voracious and fertile Earth Sow year shows initial
promise bestowing magical light blessings that inspire and culminate with a fantastic
Full Virgo Super Moon, Tuesday 19th (or 20th) February at
16:53 GMT. This Full SuperMoon reflects
the light of the Sun in watery Pisces, and will look larger than usual,
impacting upon (emotional) tides for up to a week after Luna’s climax.
Should anyone offer you a metaphoric surfboard to ride overwhelming or choppy
emotional waves, it is a realistic Virgoan influence that makes sure you can first
swim before jetting through a rip tide with slip-sliding, groovy moves.
Whatever you are
doing over the coming Full SuperMoon, get ready to be super versatile,
especially when venturing into unchartered territory. At 0° Virgo, the Full
Super Moon has a changeable and versatile quality which highlights the feminine
strength of devoted LOVE WISDOM in action, a bit like an exotic temple filled
with Italian Mama’s making sure you have eaten, slept, and loved enough.
This Supermoon also spotlights collective undercurrents as well as personal
welfare and happiness – especially at work. As the sign of the Fish is
an all-consuming, all embracing collective sign, it’s possible many will also intuit
the imperative (Virgoan) need to heal underlying toxic turmoil. Pisces can be easily lost in artistic
creativity (or by hypnotised manipulation) and tends to spill-out, leaving the
environmentally aware and pragmatic Virgo to mop-up the mess. In any event, if
it all gets too much then this Full SuperMoon will provide the opportunity to
fill your life with meaningful activity, be of service and dedicate karmic
merit to the benefit of others.
As well as being deeply mystical, psychic Pisces is sensitive and compassionate,
poetic and oceanic in feeling, the Fish shows how we struggle on fuelled by
devotion (or confusion looking for confirmation and acceptance), while the
virtuous Virgo is compact, organised and, dare I say, almost perfect in her
nature.
·✰· To
help the Goddess on her quest for perfection, this Full SuperMoon also conjuncts one of four ancient ‘guardians’, Royal Fixed Stars, Regulus. A heroic ‘Lion
Heart’ star of the first magnitude, Regulus moved by precession into the sign
of the Sacred Goddess, Virgo, in 2012.
Planets conjunct Regulus indicate valiant courage and supreme success. Regulus
is the ‘Watcher of the North’, a direction associated with accomplishment and
recognition. The Moon with Regulus tends to make women ambitious, highly-spirited
and independent. There is, however, a caution to beware false friends and
enemies. Wherever 0° Virgo lies in your own individual horoscope, it is where honour,
wealth and brilliant feminine wisdom is often revealed and where there is also the
potential for unbridled success – but only as long as the intention is pure;
should the motivation be revenge or anger, any success is short-lived.
·✰· Another
interesting observation is how this SuperMoon is in the position of being another
‘Handle’ or ‘Singleton’. In fact, for the first four Full Moons of 2019, the
Moon is a stand-alone ‘singleton’ at these powerful solar-lunar moments, when
consciousness aligns with the subconscious. With the Moon representing our
sub-conscious, as a singleton it means sensitive but smart Luna intuitively
grips the rest of the ‘bucket-shaped’ horoscope. As such, memories are based
upon our feelings about certain events, people and/or things, which are held in
sharper emotional focus, in this case in order to be rejuvenated, restored and
revitalised.
In mundane astrology, the Moon represents ‘the people’, which is significant these
days politically. The mood of the masses can now reveal a helpful and sensible
feminine wisdom, also giving the general public enormous influence.
·✰· Also
coinciding with the Full Super are two major long-term celestial influences now
dramatically changing by leaving signs they will not visit again for 50 years –
and more. How these changes impact upon our lives will rely upon several
factors, including our ability to adapt and embrace alternatives and far-out
tech, as well as poetry, music, dreams, sky-dancing and nature as personal medicine.
Time now to implement measures that quickly adjust the perception we have of ourselves
in relationship, especially as an individual within our peer-connected friendship
circle, to that of the Spiritual Healing Warrior.
Chiron
in Aries
Check where Aries is
in your chart: that’s where a Spiritual Healing Warrior is currently making a
major shift, as asteroid Chiron flows from watery Pisces into fiery Aries.
Chiron is a mythical centaur, a wild Shamanic out-cast; half-man, half-horse, Chiron’s
wisdom is found in the healing arts. This astral alchemist will now stay in Aries,
as the Spiritual Healing Warrior, to direct self-healing for seven years,
leaving Summer Solstice 2026.
Now at 0° Aries, Chiron with Fixed Star ‘Sheat’ hones and trengthens the Shamanic
Healer’s intellect, to think logically and clearly about what needs to be healed
in our physical world, within the body, and psychologically, by how we present
our egoic selves to the world, reconciling personal identity with personal
values.
Noting now the Sun is
at 0° Pisces, and how the collective psyche is deeply affected as the Wounded
Healer leaves the sign of the fish. Although the negative side of Pisces is
viewed as the zodiac’s garbage can, conjuring a vivid a picture of 7 billion of
us disposing junk and whatnot into the sea, it’s bizarrely heartening that most
of the planet can now see the reality of insidious chemicals and plastic
polluting our precious water. Because now is the time for action, and to do
something about it!
Bear in mind how the
human body constitutes 65%+ water, and as the oceans become polluted so do we.
While no one in their right mind would intend to create these poisonous
environments, it appears we have accidentally and quite royally harmed ourselves
- and every other being in the natural world. Thus, it has been the wizardry of
the celestial Shaman, who has brought our attention to our dependency upon the
toxic and our carelessness with water, land and air. Now, however, with
Chiron’s move into Aries we can begin to rectify and heal our self and our
personal identity as human: indeed, when we heal ourselves, we also contribute
to healing the Earth.
There is a danger,
however, of overwhelm when Piscean energy pervades; when it’s all too easy to seek
oblivion and solace in drugs and alcohol etc. Beware of opting for the path of
the sleepwalker it leads away from your authentic truth. Know that when we are
willing to accept there are certain things we have no control over and just go
with our personal flow, we can more easily induce an enlightened and peaceful
state.
Uranus in Taurus
On the New Pisces
Moon, March 6th (The same day Mercury goes retrograde!) inventive
and revolutionary Uranus leaves Aries for 84 years, to move into the solid and
determined Taurus for 7-ish years (until April 2016), from where this crazy humanitarian
oddball will wield a dramatic and often extreme influence upon the simple
Taurean value system: food, love, Earth, nature, finances are all bound to areas
of sudden and dramatic change. And as Uranus is connected to technology, Taurean
nature and weird Uranian machinery could even begin to merge so that ‘virtual
reality’ itself develops a seriously mechanistic twist. Singularity, when
robots and humans merge, may not be far away, not just strawberry-picking
robots. Uranus is in detriment in Taurus, as the planet of invention and
electricity buzzes erratically, which will certainly present new-fangled challenges
for the more ordered and traditional Bull to consider.
Interestingly, dynamic Mars is in Taurus over this Full SuperMoon, acting as a slow
and thoughtful reconnaissance for both visionary Uranus, with whom he travels,
and his boss, the Sun, to which there is an easy opening sextile aspect that
also boosts warrior Mars. Mars in Taurus tends to be seriously unflappable,
even when immersed in the ‘wacky cult of busy’ Taurus finds the same steady joy
in breathing fresh-air as in holding hands with his or her honey, or counting
out money. Nonetheless, financial markets in commodities could start to see erratic
swings, either way, up or down.
·✰· Two more
planetary conjunctions also have an influence upon events over this Full Moon.
1) Mercury the messenger and dreamy Neptune
are in mystical union in Pisces, and with Fixed
Star, ‘Aschenar’. I have been watching this Fixed Star for a while now, as
Neptune has a long orbit it can stay in similar degrees for almost a year, and
conclude it brings up from the depths fast-moving events that can no longer
sustain an illusion. And while aware all life IS an illusion (from Buddhist
& Quantum point-of-view), we could still witness a threat of sudden endings
to long-held dreams. If that is the case, over the coming weeks there could be
an almighty scramble while Mercury goes retrograde from the 6th
March until the 29th March. Including shadow period, i.e. for the
next five week Mercury will conjunct Neptune three times, accenting the need
for compassion at every turn, including for oneself. Mercury-Neptune helps to
develop faith and breathe new life also into collective dreams. Rearrange thoughts
and schedules if you have to – and learn to let go of this, that, and the other,
which no longer serve higher truths.
2) The last astral
activity of note over this SuperMoon involves a stellium between Venus, Saturn and Pluto, as a power
trio in Capricorn (making an easy sextile to the above Mercury/Neptune
conjunction that offers an escape route should Venus feel hemmed-in). Venus is
the ruler of Taurus, the sign into which Uranus is moving, as such it’s key to
watch Venus with Uranus over the coming years, as issues of (women’s) freedom
and changes to our everyday values come to our attention. Venus is the planet
which creates balance and harmony; currently flanked by both authoritative Saturn
and Pluto, Venus likes to feel steady and holds with tradition, charming those
with sway and control with beauty and brains, experience and dedication. There
is also a mutual reception to take into account: Venus is in the sign of Mars’s
exaltation – Capricorn; and Mars is in Venus’s home sign, Taurus; the cosmic
lovers Venus and Mars can at least get along politely and connect diplomatically
over a glass of something smooth, even if there are other kinds of high tension.
Time now to generate the positive altruistic intention!
Bless YOU dear ones on this ‘Day of Miracles’!
With Love and Full Supermoon light,
