Jupiter Remains Retrograde in Virgo

The Moon waxes Full today at 1:20 p.m. in the astrological sign of Virgo. The Sun just recently transited into its Solar Month of Pisces and in keeping with the Full Moon dance of Moon and Sun in opposition, the tension generated is one of staying true to the imposed tight budget that Mother Moon has put into place despite Father Sun wanting to splurge on those in need. This energy is one of contraction (Virgo) and expansion (Pisces). This also means that with the Moon at the peak of her power and light of expression, every little penny will be accounted for and the necessary adjustments made to get the budget back on track.

Now, the additional support that this Virgo Moon has is that of Jupiter stationed Retrograde in the same sign- Virgo. Jupiter’s natural…

February brings the full cougar moon, also known as the grandmother moon.  This lunar phase should be a time of great reflection.  Not so much on oneself, but more fixated on the lineage of our creation & the abundance of influence that family plays on our existence. Our ancestors have bestowed upon us a great deal of character, find the greatness that you have descended from using the power and energy behind this full moon. What this means to you will vary. Whether you break out a family recipe, tradition, or trace your lineage-  acknowledge the karmic legacy you live and appreciate it’s blessings.

The renewal of spring has not yet come, but it’s imminent arrival is overwhelming.  It’s easy to get swept up in the anticipation of spring, but take time to be gracious for the wonderful elements of winter. The outside world is eerily silent, and wild winds…

Your weekly horoscope for February 22nd, 2016

Aries (3/21 – 4/19): You’ve been looking for a fresh start and the opportunity will finally come this week when hackers completely empty your bank account.

Taurus (4/20 – 5/20): The best way to deal with your greatest weakness is to turn it into your greatest strength, unless your greatest weakness is that you’re racist, which if you are then forget you read this.

Gemini (5/21 – 6/20): Early this week you might feel a little more closed-off than usual. I promise this quarantine will only last for as long as it takes to find a cure or for you to die, whichever comes first.

Cancer (6/21 – 7/22): You will start off this week feeling highly motivated, but end this week losing your right hand to a debt collector.

Leo (7/23 – 8/22): If you’re ever feeling unmotivated this week then reflect…

Full Moon in Virgo 
By ~Ruby

A Full Moon in Virgo occurs on Feb. 22nd around 12:30pm. It’s also known as the “Snow Moon”. This sets up a new chapter or new beginnings in your life. This Moon brings in change and with Mercury finally done with a painstakingly long Retrograde phase, this Moon will definitely represent closure for many of you. However, starting Feb 28th we can start to feel the push and pull of the incoming “Eclipse Season” energy.

A Full Moon is a tense meeting between the Sun and the Moon called an opposition. It makes us feel tense from the inside out, but for some it can be downright exhilarating! Hence why people act so crazy during the Full Moon, any nurse can tell you what folks are like during a Full Moon.

This month’s Full Moon is in practical, reserved Virgo, and you’ll probably notice…

and there are things unknown
and in between are the doors.”

A Full Moon occurs today, at 1:20 PM ET. Under Virgo’s Moonbeams, the focus is on taking care of business, creating order, efficiency, and wellness. But don’t get it twisted, this Virgo lunation is hardly boring! Neptune in opposition is casting spells while setting an intoxicating mood…

The Sun in  Pisces is opposite Moon in Virgo today. Depending where this falls on your birthchart, you can feel a compulsion to tidy up, or in the opposite end, just give up and laze around if the Pisces end dominates. Virgo – Pisces polarity is an interesting mix of trying to bring order out of chaos versus surrendering to the unknown that can mean chaos. The key, as always is to find balance, other things in the chart confirming. Sometimes, you need to tip the balance from one to the other for you to start moving forward in life.

Those with Virgo Sun, Moon, Ascendant, strong sixth house or Mercury feel this aspect more strongly. Pisces placement are also affected strongly – Gemini and Sagittarius, the other two mutable signs can also feel this if they have planets or points in the exact or near exact degrees.

To find out your…

This period holds a challenge of insecurity resulting in martyrdom because you aren’t getting true recognition.

To keep in balance don’t cling to the past, move steadily forward in the face of adversity. Oh, and stop comparing yourself unfavorably to others.

A new trend for the next couple of months is to adapt and relax in order to feel more solid.

With the Moon Full in fastidious Virgo the lunar light illuminates the area of our life where we tend to make order out of chaos.
What area of your life needs a tidy up or a decent health reboot?… Now is the time and there is no denying because you know and we know that you know, exactly where and what that is.
Attention to detail can be key. ‘Take care of the pennies and the pounds look after themselves’ as the saying goes. This isn’t a time for broad brush stokes. Look at what’s right in front of you, appreciate your environment and look at how you can work with that to achieve perfection. Start from where you are.
