“Your Complete Full Moon Guide”
by Ruby

“How does the ‘Full Moon’ affect you, and how do you utilize its potent energy?”

During a ‘Full Moon’ you have an opportunity to bring about some positive changes in your life, if you use this energy wisely. It either can increase the positive energy around you or it can be an emotional wrecking ball…the choice is yours. This guide is a helpful reminder, about how to work with the ‘Full Moon’ and it’s energies.

Remember a ‘Full Moon’ disperses a lot of energy, and that energy pours into each and every one of us. So the key to achieving success during a ‘Full Moon’ is to stay calm, and embrace its positive effects. Whatever is going on with your mind, body and spirit will certainly be felt much stronger during a ‘Full Moon’, and our emotions can seem extremely intense. A ‘Full Moons’…

The Moon is Full in Virgo on February 22nd at 10:20 PST. This Full Moon completes the cycle which started on the Virgo New Moon of September 13th, 2015. If you’re feeling this Moon hard during the ramp up, it’s not your imagination. This Virgo Full Moon is part of a Thor’s Hammer with those famouse shite stirrers, Uranus-Pluto.

Opposed by both Neptune and Ceres, this Virgo Full Moon asks us to examine our ideas of service, health, abundance and escape. Are WE being served or is it all one way so we don’t have to be vulnerable? Are we considering our emotional health when we analyze situations? Are those seeds planted last September growing as they should or do we need to adjust? And finally, are we escaping in ways that enhance our connection to the divine, such as creation of art, or are we dissolving into the identities…

It feels and looks like spring might be close, even early this year. I am not going to hold my breath however because I know how quickly things can change. My daffodils began to bud over a month ago and are still in the bud state. The almanac said this winter would be wet and it has and is. It is raining now and will be through Wednesday. I need to read the almanac my friend handed me the other day to see what summer will look like.

We are firmly footed in Pisces energy now and several people around me have commented on how much more calm they feel. They also comment on a feeling of being dazed, fuzzy headed, or in a dream like state of mind. All these are characteristics of Pisces. For me sleep has been important and I have felt the need for lots of…

On February 22^nd, 2016, the moon will be full in Virgo. To understand Virgo’s full moon, the reflected light of the sun in Pisces should be more carefully examined. I keep reading about Pisces as a sign of a state of blissful oneness, which I feel does not do justice to this sign at all. Where Virgo makes up the mundane world, Pisces is all that is invisible. As complex and varied as the visible, just not perceived with the senses. Because the invisible world has no “solid” boundaries, it could be easy to lose one’s separate sense of identity in such a place, but that doesn’t make such a reality a massive blob of oneness and unity. In reality it pertains to an infinite place of inner worlds, dreams, feelings, intuition, ghostly presences, mystical experiences, archetypal reality, images, symbols, etc. This particular sun will be conjunct Neptune…

From Mystic Mamma,

“Grandmother Moon in all her Fullness comes glowing forth on February 22nd at the axis of Virgo the Virgin and Pisces the Dreamer. She brings illumination and heralds a sweet surrender to what is, the perfection in the imperfection. A shift in perception…

Here are the MYSTIC MAMMA Astral Insights from our beloved circle of featured astrologers and guiding lights. First from the deep and wonderful SARAH VARCAS from Astro-Awakenings.co.uk:

“The Moon is full in Virgo at 6:21 p.m. UT on 22nd February. Occurring as Jupiter retrogrades across the solar eclipse degree from 13th September 2015, this Moon illuminates in fullness events of the past five months, their complex tapestry woven through our lives in ways that may have been hidden up to now.

“Life, in all its often hectic confusion, can sometimes feel like a million individual plates we must keep spinning simultaneously or risk unbounded…

As I write this, I contemplate the many synchronicities that brought me to Kauai during this Full Moon.

The Hawaiian Islands are thought to be the archipelago left above water after the ancient continent of Lemuria sank into the Pacific Ocean some 12,000 years ago. The Polynesian story-tellers talk of a land called Mu, where the inhabitants, highly spiritual people connected to the land and functioning primarily through the use of their Third Eye, worked with crystalline energy to preserve ancient knowledge underground.

Today’s Shaman’s still have access to this information, and all Aboriginal civilizations surviving to this day are ancestors of the Lemurians.

So while I have been watching the moon approach its fullness the last few days over the South Pacific, I have been able to connect with guides new to me, and gather insights about this very special Full Moon occurring on the magical number of 2/22…

The Sun entered Pisces on February 19th at 0:34 a.m. EST. But what does that mean? Well, for starters, Pisces is a water sign – one of three with Scorpio and Cancer being the other two – and, like all water signs, it’s considered to be feminine in nature. Because it comes at the ending of a season (like Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius), it’s considered mutable or adaptable. Pisces energies are more open to change and will adapt to it better than signs that are considered cardinal (the beginning of the season: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) and especially better than fixed signs (those signs which are smack-dab in the middle of a season: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius).

The planet ruling Pisces is Neptune, but before the discovery of Neptune, Jupiter was considered to be the ruler of this sign. There are still some astrologers who see Jupiter as…

In my blog post concerning the upcoming solar eclipse, I wrote that, according to William Lilly, we should expect a natural catastrophe and/or the death of a prominent man. Similar occurrences in history also seem to indicate the possibility of an assassination.

If we cast our minds back to the last solar eclipse that took place on 13 September 2015, we may also remember that it was followed by the shocking Paris terror attacks, on 13 November. In a blog post, published last August, I wrote about the solar eclipse, predicting the likelihood of murder to take place in Paris (see the original article here). Sadly, this turned out to be true.

 The bi-wheel above shows the solar eclipse chart (inner wheel) and the chart for the moment the attacks began. We can clearly see that Mars and the lunar nodes are activating the solar eclipse chart (see…

Monday Feb 22nd

Full Moons can go well if you learn how to work with the energy they put out, so ask yourself the following questions for this month’s Full Moon in Virgo.

Are you Organized?
Are you getting things done?
Are you being of service to others?

The Full Moon is the time to let go and move on from the things that aren’t working anymore, or that are no longer serving you… or that are blocking you and your joy. So it’s time to let go of that fantasy in your mind, which you probably have already decided is never going to work out anyway.

This month’s Full Moon in Virgo has a strong Neptunian energy to it, Neptune is a dreamy planet but when in a challenging or tense aspect it has major side effects, like us feeling dizzy, foggy, and often it can cause problems with…

Teri’s interest with astrology lies with helping people see how following a practice of intention and self-awareness leads to a fuller relationship with Mystery. Astrology is a wonderful tool for this. Her weekly column orients readers to the seasonal energy of
each month’s Sun sign in order to set magical/mindful intention for the lunar month beginning at the New Moon.

Each week Teri will write about the unfolding energies that support and challenge our intentions. The ebb and flow of the lunar cycle resides deep in our souls. Through following the phases of the Moon, we remember the natural cycles that guide us.

It looks as if the Sun in this chart is lost in a dream with Neptune (the Dreamer) and Ceres the Earth Mother. The Moon will have to hold her own in practical, earthy, Virgo. But this is not necessarily about contradiction, even though the luminaries are in that full Moon position of opposition. The agitation we feel at the time of the full Moon is the excitement of contradiction, which is attempting wholeness.

Pisces Sun might ‘envision’ (Neptune), a dream of the Earth Mother (Ceres) honored and acknowledged. The Pisces characteristics of victimization and martyrdom dissolve in the full Moon’s light, much as The Hermit, who corresponds to Virgo in the Tarot deck, shines his light on weary travelers as they make their way to the place he holds for them. For humanity to survive on the planet, we need both the dream of Pisces/Neptune/Ceres, and the practical…
