Virgo Full Moon--The Big Dream (March 1, 2018)

March is the Month of Powerful Dreams & Imagination


Whether it's a vision quest or keeping a dream journal, March is the month for dreams. Dream interpretation, creative visualization, and hypnosis or even just getting caught in a fantasy appeal to us in March. This is because Juno, the Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus, and Chiron transit in Pisces. And then Mars in Vesta in Sagittarius square this stellium (Sagittarius also enjoys dreaming big) and the Virgo Moon pulls all those planets into a whopping Mutable T-Cross.

The Virgo Full Moon helps us come up with a plan. Sure, it's lovely to dream big. And I know that I've spent many hours of my life swimming through daydreams and fantasies. The downside of the Pisces Stellium is that we might look at the world with rose-colored glasses and ignore any warning signs. We might get involved with the wrong person because we get lost in a dream of soul mates. And we might ignore the advice of our practical friends and our therapists--even when dreams guide us in a more secure direction.

Mars and Vesta in Sagittarius act with compassion and servitude. But remember that saying, "Healer heal thyself"? Many of us dream of becoming healers or maybe we are already healers. We bleed compassion for others. And we get caught up in the dramas that surround us because someone told us that it is our job to fix other people's problems. But what if each of us cleaned up our side of the street? What if we focused on our own healing first and only then, teach others how to heal themselves? What if we stopped this co-dependent dance (Pisces and Virgo) and decided to become free spirits without the guilt? (A good example of an effective Pisces teacher/healer is Lisa A. Romano on YouTube).

The problem with Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces is that all three of these signs want to fix problems so that they can release themselves from other people's dramas. But when we fix other people's problems we do this at their detriment. Some people enjoy having people dependent on them so they set others up to fail. They promote the concept of martyrs and victim or they hold the purse strings instead of teaching others how to fish and take care of themselves--a worthy metaphor for Pisces. The other thing we must remember is that we can only lead by example.

So, if you want other people to change their diets, change yours and don't preach about it. When others see that you have more energy, that you never catch colds, and that you resemble a 35-year-old when you are over 50, those people will ask you about your diet. That's when you bring out the books and articles or take them shopping at a food coop. If you believe that exercise is the answer for others, then again, model this to the world. Actions speak louder than words.  When you look good others are going to ask about your secrets.

A bad example is someone who preaches the gospel of a particular diet and they looked ragged or are overweight. Who wants to take health advice from someone who looks frail or on the verge of diabetes?

If you suffer from an addiction, March is the month to get out of denial. And no, this idea of moderation is a false one. Smoking and drinking in moderation or taking drugs in moderation are still bad behaviors for the body. They cause the body to become acidic and this leads to disease. And denial is a road to nowhere. I used to say that denial is a good place to visit but not a place to stay. Denial is a Pisces trait and discernment is a Virgo trait. While Sagittarius gets lost in the bigger picture without considering the details. Thankfully, the Virgo Moon is trining Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn so we can bring in practical solutions and the next best step to our healing process.

The upside of the Pisces Stellium, Mars/Vesta in Sagittarius, and the Virgo Full Moon is that  we embark on spiritual adventures. We travel to sacred sites, walk a pilgrimage, or spend time in meditation that leads to life changes. We dissolve old unworkable situations and we end relationships that left us stuck in a co-dependent dance. If you have been involved with a person or people in denial about their addictions then now is the time for tough love (Virgo Moon). Cut your losses so that new healthier people enter your life and you learn about unconditional love. BTW, unconditional love is not slipping into denial about other people's dangerous habits. Unconditional love means that you accept another person's healing path and then leave them to it while having faith that they will get the proper professional help. And then you step away and heal your co-dependent behavior.

Mars and Vesta trine Uranus (who is also locked into a 5 degree orb square with Pluto) so more people put energy behind service. And service ranges from turning art into therapy, to volunteering with a charity, to giving a homeless person a leg up. Mars in Sagittarius wed to Vesta has an interesting flavor. I hear the words Peace Corps. And I see people flocking to environmental justice programs. Travel is involved. Overseas travel is involved. This is a time of great humanitarian efforts. We ask ourselves the best ways to serve the planet.

With that Uranus-Pluto square, we are seeing a people power movement. We are revisiting the Occupy Movement but on a smaller scale. We are demanding justice and transformation on the planet. And I see the beginnings or the launch of a youth quake led by younger folks running for political office, especially young mothers because they are concerned about their children's future. Pallas in Taurus in a square with the North Node in Leo (destiny and children) also promote these causes. (This is already underway).

Finally, Jupiter in Scorpio trines the Pisces Stellium and sextiles the Virgo Full Moon. This could bring a large-scale epidemic but if it does, it also brings healing with people opening their hearts to compassion and love for their neighbors. And scientists and researchers could very well come up with cures now to infectious diseases. We might even hear about a cure for AIDS. If you are in therapy, that goes well now too. I like the exact trine with Jupiter and Venus which brings powerful love partners and Jupiter is also in a tight trine with Chiron and Mercury so heal those old wounds and watch doors fly open.

Theses transits are also asking us to take a look at our values. Are we living those values? Are we walking our talk? What are our truest dreams and how can we best serve them? Ideally, our dreams would be in the highest and best for humanity and the planet. Dream big this month but create a plan of action. Much healing takes place now as we travel to distant shores.

(Consequently, look for a wet March with record-breaking rain and powerful storms. I also see an oil spill and problems with the oil industry. People have had enough of polluting industries and we give birth to alternative solutions and practices now).
