Remembering 9/11 Under the Pisces Full Moon

“Be silent, like a fish. “ ~Rumi

As we celebrate 2011’s Full Moon in Pisces, when the collective swims with the endless possibilities of The Fishes, we are equally in deep reflection of the 10th Anniversary of the fateful day of 9/11/2001. As a whole each one of us are undeniably within this present lunation bringing forth the energy of resurfacing the past: something Pisces is well noted to do. The most positive attribute Pisces brings to our choices is equally the ability to heal in our retrospection.

So how can the fullness of Pisces ultimately help us heal and engage in helping align our emotions at this time? Think of their symbol the fish, as they swim in the myriad of choices within any given ocean. How do you think they make the right choices for themselves, in the course of nature? The Fish, as do many of our animals and any non-speaking living being, keep it real simple. The Fish takes in a LISTEN to know what to do.

Listening is a skill that we are introduced to learn early on in our lives, and it is one skill that carries on through the end of any life. While we are told to be SILENT, we are in essence being ask to LISTEN. You really can’t really do one without the other.

Pisces is a tricky energy however to ideally be still within. When you have the planet of emotion -the Moon- transiting through a mutable water sign and allowing release here, one most certainly may feel the last thing they wish to be is still. However, finding a place to be in a LISTEN to the intuition to what silence can bring anyone is a remarkable experience. Whether it is a Full Moon in Pisces or not, how often can you look around and say you are absolutely SILENT?

So, the time is now, to not only honor the Pisces area within our birth charts, but that of what requires empathy surrounding us and collectively LISTEN to what is happening here. When you give yourself the time to be SILENT; then see what comes in when you ask for insight and clarity for the best choice to make here. As you then ENLIST IT and LET IT IN, the mystery remains to unfold as the ocean continuously brings its’ endless possibilities.

What’s even most favorable is the potential of numerological energy than can unfold when one decides to ENLIST IN a SILENT LISTEN. It is a blessing to be in the presence of the 21 and the gifts of ‘The Crown of the Magi” are bestowed upon any of these three intentions. As the Chaldeans so deeply understood: “21 is pictured as “The Universe,” and also is called “The Crown of the Magi.” It promises general success, and guarantees advancement, honors, awards, and general elevation in the life and career. It indicates victory after a long struggle, for the “Crown of the Magi” is gained only after long initiation, much soul testing and various other tests of determination. However, the person or entity blessed with the number 21 may be certain of final victory over all odds and all opposition.”

Undoubtedly, as we reflect upon all that has transpired in the last 10 years, there are many conclusions we are asked to arrive at as the Universe grants this present 9/11 anniversary in 2011. Time in silent acts allows us to heal the tests of our soul and any odds and opposition we may have encountered. As the tragic and somber memories of the past swirl around in our emotional landscapes, remembering to be still is one of the most beneficial choices any of us can make.

We can find amazing gratification down here below when we honor the Universe’s gifts from above. This Full Moon in Pisces presents us with a tremendous opportunity to receive inner guidance if we let it.

I don’t know about you, but having a LISTEN, and choosing to ENLIST and LET IT SIT IN a SILENT time sure sounds worth it to me.

Namaste Dear Stars.

FULL Moon in Pisces

Releasing Imagination

While the current energy of our Sun urges the cultivation of logic and fussing over details, the collective’s emotional focus points to the exact opposite, one of a sympathetic nature as we celebrate this months’ luminous light show in the gentle sign that brings us imagination and sentimentality. Where are you meant to find conclusions and release a powerful instinct in the two weeks ahead?

Moon enters Pisces 3:26pm EDT 10 Sept to 2:39am EDT 13 Sept

When our Lunar Lady takes a swim with The Fishes deep, imaginative, and ever-active feelings are brought forth. Our present Yang Sun now plays with the logical choice of health and being of service to others while in Virgo. With the Yin Moon’s energy entering in Pisces, ultimate completion is available by where the enthusiasm for sympathy and understanding is the pull back for reflection.

Full Moon, 12 Sept 5:27am EDT, 19 degrees Pisces

When our Full Moon shows itself in the dreamy energies of Pisces -the sign that consciously aims for understanding- there couldn’t be a more auspicious time to receive impressions that open up our intuitive natures in pure abundance. One word of caution is to not fear the psychic energies that are born when the Moon swims with The Fishes- for if we ignore them and try to drown them out, we are missing such important information meant to be assimilated into our beings.

Be sure to check the Piscean House, in particular the 19-degree Pisces spot, in your personal birth chart to see where a conclusive energy is ideally meant to unfold. This is the area of life that requests a release in the next two weeks to follow. What you ultimately shed in this section of your Zodiac pie until the next New Moon upon 27 September is bound to make the necessary room for what is next to come.

For the Collective

There is the possibility of restless feelings that may create some waves, so make sure you stay swimming in safe waters. When susceptible energies are around, it is easy to gravitate to indecisive, weak-willed, and lazy tendencies. There is great power in cultivating clarity and concentrating on instinct during this passage. Be cautious however of deceptive, self-indulgent, and chaotic feelings.

What is of interest to note is the square that formulates from the North and South Nodes at 18 degrees Sagittarius and Gemini upon this lunation. Interlocking with the degrees points of our Sun and Moon at 19 degrees Virgo and Pisces, the ability to feel a structure formulate where the mutable and communicating signs exist within our birth charts is intensely strong. As focus upon the Sagittarian area of life is requested, look to Pisces to unleash the instinct necessary to naturally let your Gemini part of life take care of itself, as Virgo logically casts the light that ideally is of service to everyone.

Aquarius: There are some values you originated some time ago that get you in the mood now to take stock of your personal possessions. Take a look around at these and see what you should part with. You also may find the way you earn your dollars is about to shift, as you find yourself reflecting upon ways to improve this area of the life as well.

What you sense about your self-sufficiency takes focus, and what you may have recently been pioneering here comes to a completion, now seen in it’s fullest light.

MERCURY RETROGRADE, 02 to 26 August, 2011

Being Mindful Under Mercury Retrograde

Mercury REtrograde, 02 to 26 August, 2011

Retrograde: Any planet’s reverse movement which results in an opposite direction to that of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun, or of the Moon around the Earth.


Known as the Trickster, Mercury lives up to his nickname especially when he cruises in reverse for a mere three weeks approximately three times per year. The collective undeniably senses the fluxes within our communications, movements, mechanisms, and mentalities. When in retrograde, one all too often wonders within all the zany craziness: What in the world IS going on lately?

Yet, as we also know, Mercury Retrograde periods are never to fear. Surely though you will see those unawares typically getting aggravated and frustrated by Mercury’s typical bag of tricks he draws from over this period. Human error is the highest under these passages than during any other time of the year.

Ultimately, these 3 weeks are best spent adhering to any word with that begins with RE: such as: redo, reassess, read, revisit, rejoice, realign, rest, review, and by all means RElax! Yes, your eyes do not deceive you in how you can truly REceive REward within Mercury’s “tricks.” Being the norm that “no one pays attention in August,” it couldn’t be a better time for REflection!

Mercury Retrogrades in Virgo back to Leo
11:50m EDT 02 August to 6:03pm EDT 26 August

As our Messenger Mercury touches upon Virgo, the collective is granted valid, diligent, practical, and discriminating energies within communications and mental capacities. While efficient, well-structured, articulate, and detailed-oriented methods of expressions are the natural course of energy that can emerge, these ideals now become challenging to meet. While revisiting in Leo after 08 August, it is wise to examine how authority, creativity, dignity, and humility live where the heart of the Lion rests for the remainder of the passage.

For the Collective Horoscope
We have a quick and easy guide that pinpoints where Mercury’s energy’s will outwardly affect you, and where you are best to put your reflective and responsive cap on within.

Remember, your natal chart is the other vantage point you will wish to consider as well, where 01 deg Virgo to 18 deg Leo precisely sits. This is the area of life where personally you’ll also see those communication, mechanism, and movement related mishaps, changes, and delays the most; as well as seeing a restructure of some sort unfolding within the next 3 weeks. Take special note of any natal planets you may have placed within these degrees, as these will also be energized by this transit.

TO DO or NOT TO DO under Mercury REtrograde…
REmain in the eye of any possible storm around you…
These handy tips can help bring ease over this upcoming period to allow personal success to be reaped!

DO:
*Expect CHANGE: in travel, routines, communications & schedules to occur suddenly

*Give yourself extra time to get where you’re going

*Spend time in the RE’s: Relax, Revisit, Reflect, Redo, REcharge!

*Have Plan B (and Plan C if necessary) ready to go

*Gravitate to REsponding vs. REacting!

DON’T:
*“Freak out” when changes come up

*Rush: speaking, driving, doing anything!

*Sign important documents

*Initiate or buy anything new that you wish to have long-term success with.

Keep in Mind…

Try not to question everything at this time. And if you do, REflect in the actions and thoughts leading up to your doubt. Remember the Sun will also be shining in Leos’ and then the Virgin’s light, so there is a positive energy to gravitate and choose from at any time. The more we can be flexible, the better results we see. Sometimes, it is taking that pause for a SILENT LISTEN that saves us.

Approach: Began 14 July

The last day Mercury was at 18 deg Leo. You may have already started to see the things emerge that will be under Mercury’s review during this time.


Shadow: Ends 09 Sept

The next time Mercury reaches 01 deg Virgo going Direct. Should any important decisions have to have gone forward under the Retrograde, this is the perfect time to rework them and make sure any errors are then corrected and cleared up.


Lexigrams and Mercury Retrograde

One last piece of star secret advice comes from the wisdom of Lexigrams, the art of phrasing the anagrams we can derive from any word, name, or in this case, title. What we are best to do under this passage can readily be seen as the letters within Mercury Retrograde equally wish to tell us the real tale of the Trickster’s request.
