Full Moon in Pisces (Lunar Eclipse) - Thursday, Sept 7, 2006 - 2:42 pm EDT

Intuitive Message for the Pisces Full Moon:
Go Easy and You Are Free
by Julia Bondi

Sun at 15.00 Virgo
Moon at 15.00 Pisces

EASY. Easy is right. Begin right and you are easy. Continue easy and you are right. The right way to go easy is to forget the right way and to forget that the going is easy.

The times are hard, the battles are hard, the crises are hard, the politics are hard, the ethics are hard and living optimistically is hard. These times which so call for love, imagination, dialogue and reconciliation seem bleak. When our Virgo rational analytical mind focuses on the details, the realities and the seeming intractable realities there is no space for the faith of our Piscean inspiration.

In this full moon of Virgo/Pisces the music of our Piscean soul can lift us beyond the harshness of our inner and outer worries and problems. Remembering that we are divine and sacred is the doorway to seeing what is real. Life itself is sacred and contains within it the blueprint for progress, grand vision and transcendence. All our problems exist in sacred space and contain in themselves the key to their transformation.

As the analytical mind separates, divides and dissects to seek solutions it must also listen for the souls wise counsel to resolve these seeming problems. Virgo’s true task is to see clearly what is, to examine the reality to be resolved and then to soften into an expansive readiness and quiet to receive the guidance which leads to the right step forward. So often the mind is tempted to sink into blame, guilt, fear and worry. Virgo mind must find the right answer, the right action and be blameless. In this rigid state there is no ease. It all becomes hard and we tighten rather than soften thus closing the door to our Piscean soul’s resolution, the paradigm shift in which the problem is no longer a problem but a breakthrough.

2. Here's more...

September 7: Lunar Eclipse in Pisces

Full Moons are known for being times when emotions are super strong. When a full Moon is also in a lunar eclipse, emotions get dialed up even more. Add to that the fact that this eclipse takes place in Pisces, the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, and you can count on yourself and others feeling hypersensitive. This touchy full Moon has the dynamic, high-energy players Mars and Uranus involved. Independence and freedom are a big deal for everyone right now, and anyone feeling trampled upon won't be quiet about it. Help yourself by carving out some alone-time to create emotional tranquility. Watch a beautiful sunset or listen to a beautiful piece of music. The goal here is to put yourself in the state where you feel your connection to everything and to tune into your dreams. Because full Moons, and even lunar eclipses, represent a culmination from what you set in motion during the last new Moon, look back at the new Moon on August 23 for a review. Between now and the next new Moon later this month, which is also a solar eclipse, get a plan together to make changes that will make you feel more comfortable about things.

3. I had posted some commentary on another thread on Monday

regarding the eclipse and some other current inluences which I'll embellish further if I find the time to do so.

Though some of these aspects have passed I thought they might be worthy of a mention. . .

". . .Anyhoo, Venus will move into Virgo at 2:15 am EDT on Wednesday. Expect a plethora of pickiness for a while. Just prior to that she'll cross over that conjunction with Regulas (the refuted star of royalty) so we can all just momentarily, whilst stomping our feet on the collective floor, demand the immediate rental of the etheric or perhaps the physical "castle in Leichtenstein" just on sheer principle. I sure jokingly do so frequently though most unfulfillingly so. :( Kidding.

Neediness can most strangely within many, get out of control from time to time. This could be one of those times when the meme of . . . "Buy me, take me, show me, damn it. . . ". . . "or just shut the heck up" rears it's oh-not-so pleasant voice from the nasty center of some unfulfilled psyches. Watch out for that and perhaps acknowledge that there may just be a part of many of us that is truly insatiable.

On a not so lighter note. . .at 5:29 am EDT on Wednesday, the Moon will sextile Pluto. That can be cathartic, empowering, and amazingly restorative. Let's hope. Let's hope.

The Moon will potentially argumentatively oppose Venus which could impose and inspire outrageous romantic fantasies or total disconnects at 4:04 pm EDT. Enjoy! or just Bitch on. It's your choice. It's also easy to fall into a lot of "if only"'s and fall into momentary dissociative romantic junky-ism.

The Sun will happily and expansively sextile Jupiter at 9:46 pm EDT, hopefully lending us some hope, optimism and more than a little "joie de vivre" and momentary though perhaps significant or transitory spontaneity.

Then, the Moon will conjoin Uranus at 11:00 am EDT and that again is great for meditative revelations and breakthroughs in terms of comprehension and perspective. A bird's eye view never hurt a soul. "Eureka !!!"

The Moon will joyfully trine Jupiter at 1:47 pm EDT potentially leading us all to one of those collective "Ahhhhhh Ha. . .everything's gonna be okay" moments.

Then comes the much anticipated eclipse. . .

Occurring at 15 degrees of Virgo at 2:42 p.m.EDT, it's happening at the fulcrum of the sign of Virgo which represents the intensely and sometimes excruciating schism between spirituality and sexuality. This is more than a slight issue. The Virgin/Whore myth can become so yawningly tiresome. Yet in the grander scheme, it's really about selfless service to mankind. Talk about a sometimes tedious exercise in futility though at other times it can be more rewarding than anything. . .Still I've great hope.

It is around the degree at which the Uranus/Pluto opposed Saturn/Chiron back in the late 60's. It'll most likely speak to those natives of those years as well as many others who were moved by that epoch.

Here is the Sabian Symbol for that degree and I should have included quotation marks for the earlier quotation from that particular text. It was, as this is, from the most wise though long deceased Marc Edmund Jones. . .

"An ornamental handkerchief.

This is a symbol of man's self-quickening desire for allegiance to a reality higher or finer than himself, evident on the side of his aesthetic instincts. The knight in theory at least could never enter the lists of chivalry without his lady's bit of lace as a talisman of the spirit, and every normal person feels rather lost without some continual reminder of his better impulses. Objects therefore are of
value as they preserve meaning and help perfect action. The keyword is
GRACEFULNESS. When positive, the degree is an effective refinement of personal manner and a high achievement through and exceptional charm, and when negative, insinuating self-pretense and a pompous interest in trifles."

post script- I don't necessarily buy into this dualistic positive/negative stuff but find these interpretations greatly worthy of some contemplation and a modicum of reverie.

I'm on the fly but I'll try to post the imagery for it's opposing degree when I return.

4. Ah, (some) confirmation of my theory. For some of us, this eclipse

may be just as much about healing as loss, pain or heartbreak.

I am a bit too tired to tell the whole story, but today I received confirmation that I simply MUST manifest a better opportunity than the position I currently occupy because a) I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and goddamnit, people like me and b) I was shocked to discover this afternoon that not everyone everywhere in the company I (hopefully temporarily) work for is incompetent, a jerk, or an abusive psycopath. I found this out after I was involuntarily and suddenly "floated" to another warehouse owned by the company, where the other workers in the (supportive) work environment that exists at this other franchise politely pried my story out of me and when they heard what I've been going through over there and explained that that's really...not the way it works everywhere. It's kinda a "unique" issue with my warehouse and the frightening bullies who subsist there. The department I was helping out in today wasn't perfect, nor was I perfect in the job, but my co-workers were so nice even when I made mistakes. I think it's interesting that the Universe chose to remind me that my current job is simply horrible with a relatively pleasant, gentle nudge, not another jarring kick to the head. I hope the rest of you have similarly rewarding healing experiences with these eclipses, or at least this next one.

5. thanks for the link

Sounds like a little too much emotional energy zooming around the cosmos. I'm keeping my piscean cat inside for the next 2 days.

[BlueIris]

6. You know your cat's sign?

Hee. Well, I mean, I guess a lot of people do (Mr. Cheeps was obviously a Taurus, like me). Still--that's great.

[yellowdawgdem]

8. Yeah sure I do

Well, because she was born on a neighbor's patio. It's not a usual thing for me though. Usually I've no idea. That's great that you can sense Mr. Cheep's sign- or maybe that is past tense. oops.

[Why Syzygy]

9. Mine came from an adoption agency

but they have his birthdate on the papers. He's Aquarian, my fav, but are they ever bossy!

[yellowdawgdem]

11. great that you have his actual birthdate-

I wish I had the time of birth, too. Oh, well. Aquarians can be bossy, but plenty of them aren't- some are just spacey and drop things and trip over their feet. It's a wonderful sign though, one of the best.

7. In honor of the eclipse's pending occurance. . .

Here is the Sabian Symbol for 15 Pisces. . .

"An officer preparing to drill his men. . .

This is a symbol of man's self-betraying desire for a hierarchy of allegiances in which he can lose himself, evident on the side of the superficial life of everyday and its dismissal of all responsibility of consequence. Implicit in the symbolism is a challenge to make the bsst of the situations from which there is no immediate extrication, but to do so only with a determination to participate in some reality of more enduring importance. Living is vital to the extent each individual decides to motivate it. The keyword is PRECISENESS. When positive, the degree is a gift for bringing genuine efficiency and real adventure to common objectives, and when negative, uninspiring drudgery."

Happy eclipse !!! Aaand given that it's a Full Moon, consider juxtaposing this imagery with that of the 15 degree Virgo imagery and consider noting the distinction. Meditation is strongly advised.

10. Wow, was this right on !

" ... Virgo’s true task is to see clearly what is, to examine the reality to be resolved and then to soften into an expansive readiness and quiet to receive the guidance which leads to the right step forward. So often the mind is tempted to sink into blame, guilt, fear and worry. Virgo mind must find the right answer, the right action and be blameless. In this rigid state there is no ease.

:wow: :( Dang.
