Greetings family! Love, light, power and strength to you all. We are still pushing through these tough times in our world today. Pandemic updates are still the daily headlines and the virus of racial injustices continue to plague us. It is a lot to deal with sometimes. Many want to step up and out to play a role in bringing about change and solutions. Many have been protesting and forming new social justice movements. The NBA made a big move in boycotting the beginning of the playoff seasons. A lot of movement is indeed taking place. Some are still trying to figure out their role in it all. Add to this, children returning to school and work during the ongoing pandemic, it’s really a lot to deal with.
You know the vibes by now. Let’s look to the cosmos for some answers!
We are officially in Virgo season. Happy Birthday Virgos! Virgo is the second earth sign of the zodiac. It is a feminine energy ruled by Mercury, the planet of: communication, intelligence and reason. They tend to overthink and are also known as perfectionists. Also likened to the Virgin, Virgo energy also represents a purity of motive and willingness to support others well-being. With all that is going on currently in the world right now, we feel almost inclined to do something about it, we want to be of service.
Mars is also very active as it is preparing to station retrograde later on in September. Mars is the planet of action, energy, aggression and war. During retrograde, we will be given an opportunity to reflect, reanalyze and reassess the way we move to action, the way we spend our energy and how we manage our aggression. Mars also influences our sex drive. Over the next few months Mars will ask us to review these areas of our lives.
Before we get into all of that, we will have a Pisces Full Moon to bring in this new energy. Full Moon illuminates the present energy. Being in a direct opposite of the sign in Virgo, we will be feeling the need to act, but this can be clouded by Pisces dream state. Slow down, lean into the waters of Pisces gently. Pisces is the sign of: imagination, the dreamer and the visionary. The shadow side of Pisces however, can be illusion and self-deception. Pisces is also very intuitive and highly spiritual. The Full Moon will illuminate all these energies at the beginning of September. Take this time to plug out of the “matrix” and to lean into this Pisces Full Moon. Tune out the noise and lean into your intuition. Reconnect with your inner voice. Reconnect with spirit. Allow yourself to feel through all the emotions (water energy) and find the solution that serves and suits you.
Mars will slow down our movements. We might feel forced to make a move or a decision, but that might cause confusion. Take the lessons of the Pisces Full Moon. Imagine what your ideal solution is and merge it with practical, analytical Virgo energy to think it through before acting (Mars). Allow yourself to trust your intuition, strengthen your spiritual development, and serve yourself the love you serve others and the love you want from others. With all this uncertainty in the world today, your spiritual foundation needs to be stable. Boost your immune system, love on yourself and your children a bit more. Imagine your solution and work to bring it to reality. Don’t give up on your dreams! Be realistic, think it through and serve you!
