Full Moons are a time of releasing.  It is a time of releasing the old that is no longer working. Go deep into yourself, your foundations, your old perceptions, your Soul and observe what is no longer working for you.  What is no longer vibrating where you are now vibrating?   It is a time of purging and releasing in all areas of your life.   

 

With all Full Moons (remember Full Moon energy is a day and half on each side of the peak), we have the Sun exactly opposite the Moon.  So with the Full Moon in Virgo, the Sun is in Pisces.  The Sun and the Moon are in opposition, and an opposition in Astrology asks us for an adjustment, a balancing, a compromise of the opposite ends, in order to obtain positive growth.  In this case, the Full Moon is in Virgo & the Sun is in Pisces.  Virgo sees the details and Pisces sees the whole picture on all spiritual levels, Pisces is in dream land, and Virgo is in real land.  Virgo is in the head, and Pisces is in the heart. Virgo is in the physical realm, and Pisces is in the Spiritual realm. Balancing Heaven/bliss (Pisces) and Earth (Virgo).  With this Full Moon we can bring in the incredible amount of Piscean energy through meditation and dreams, creativity and manifesting,  and bring them down to Earth, with the Virgo Full Moon, where we can ground the energies and use them in this reality.  Be aware however of the grey side of Virgo, which is too much detail, putting things off because you think that you don’t know enough yet, or because it isn’t perfect yet, holding yourself back.  The grey side of Pisces to be aware of … is addictions and getting lost in the fogginess of the Piscean energy, procrastination, and being ungrounded.

 

Ever heard people urge you to meditate? You know, become quiet and still your thoughts? Wonder why so many urge this practice and what is to be gained? Becoming quiet and devoid of active thought (thinking about the electrical/gas bill, his graduation, her dance recital, etc.) is easiest at night before slumber and gives us the opportunity to listen to ourselves.

Meditation is defined as “to contemplate, or ponder” or take time to consider an idea. Most people think the meditation requires sitting with crossed legs, arms resting on your knees going Ohm…but that’s really not the case. You can “pose” for meditation, but I’ve done some great meditation while driving! (Not in city traffic however!) Meditation can be performed anywhere and any time you are able to stop active thought, at the beach, at home or whenever you can just still your mind. That’s what spirituality is…listening to your spirit and meditation allows that listening to happen.

What will you hear? At first..nothing, absolutely nothing. But the longer you are able to keep your mind quiet, the more conscious you will become of YOU and what you really are! The real you is not concerned with  dinner tonight, or getting the car serviced. The REAL you is all about LOVE! As more time is spent listening to yourself, you will gradually discover the real meaning of life, the really important stuff that life is really made of…peace, joy, and LOVE!

The more you listen to yourself, the more you will inherently know just who YOU ARE. I AM not the middle-aged woman who lives in the mountains of Arizona. Meditation has helped me discover I AM a fountain of LOVE who is able to watch the antics of the world without fear. This self-discovery has been described as “self-awareness” by psychiatrists and it’s true! When you are self-aware, your spirit in a human body needs no outside “support system” to prop you up or solve your problems.
