Virgo Full Super Moon: Blessed by the Sacred Goddess

astrologySuzy Olsen

Pisces season starts with a bang with the assistance of the powerful earth goddess: a super full moon in the sign of Virgo. Upon the sun entering the sign of Pisces on February 19th, we have the full moon in Virgo at zero degrees at 7:54AM PT. Virgo is the sign of the dutiful perfectionist and the sacred servant.She inspires within all of us to find sacred purpose in our work, our mission and our calling. The recent Aquarius new moon brought some exciting opportunities or ideas, and now we can begin to see the results in the earthly realm. 

This full moon is especially wonderful because it will be closest to the earth and will be conjunct the magnificent fixed star Regulus.  Regulus, living at zero degrees Virgo, indicates valiant courage and supreme success.  Because it is the moon joining this star, women will be feeling especially successful, ambitious and independent. Wherever zero degrees Virgo occurs in your own personal chart will indicate where honor, wealth and feminine wisdom exists for you. To use this full moon to the best of its capacity, however, our intentions must be pure. With Virgo, success only comes when our desires are of a high vibration and are for the good of all. 

Mars and Uranus make a trine to this full moon, ushering in even more bravado. These two planets may be motivating us or inspiring us to go further than we thought possible. At this time there may be unexpected breakthroughs and moments of genius. Harness this upbeat energy to further communicate an important message or to finally complete a large project.

Enjoy this glorious full moon energy while it lasts, as the tone will be changing a bit in the coming weeks.  As we move into March, our momentum may be slowed by Mercury stationing retrograde in the sign of the fish. Mercury will station on March 5th, and will be in Pisces for a total of two months. For some, this may mean plenty of confusion in communication or travel plans. All in all, however, I'm excited for the opportunity to go deeper with this Piscean energy. This is the perfect time to deepen a spiritual practice and get in touch with our intimate selves. Perhaps we may reach a new height in spiritual understanding, deepen our meditation practice or begin a new area of study in the realm of the occult. This time may also be packed with dreamy creativity, but we must harness our strength in our dedication to bring our Neptunian visions into reality. 

In Pisces, our options are limitless and our dreams are boundless. 

Cancer Full Super Moon: The Power of the Feminine

Happy new year's Eve! As we welcome the new year and say goodbye to 2017, a powerful full Moon emerges in the sign of Cancer. If visible, this full Moon will appear very large -- as it is a Super Moon and closest to the Earth. If you are a Cancer sun, ascendant or moon person, you will likely be feeling these watery full Moon vibes in the extreme. 

The full Moon occurs at 11 degrees Cancer. It just so happens that the ascendant of my own chart is 11 degrees Cancer, so this new year perhaps feels especially significant to me on a personal level. I'm feeling a little bit overwhelmed by how much is happening in my life right now, but I'm also feeling extremely blessed. I have so much gratitude to live the life I am living now, and I look forward to what 2018 may bring.

This magical Cancer moon energy is setting an intention for the entire year. Cancer is a feminine sign and rules the lovely Moon itself. With Cancer, we celebrate taking a softer approach to our lives, and realize the importance of love, relationships, family, home, and expressing our emotional selves. This year marks the power of the feminine. We are far more likely to realize our dreams and achieve happiness by harnessing our feminine qualities, rather than the masculine. 

Looking over the events of this past year, we are definitely now experiencing an energy shift. 2017 was a year filled with masculine vigor and pushing ahead with brute strength. Cancer, on the other hand, tends to be flexible and malleable in its approach. However, Cancer is able to accomplish quite a lot over a longer period of time and is perhaps more effective in the long run. 

In western astrology, the Moon ultimately holds the key to our individual happiness. This Moon centered year will likely bring many opportunities to bring more happiness and fulfillment in our lives. 




Happy New Year!
