Virgo Full Moon March 16: Endings & Beginings

"Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending."
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow~

There comes a time in life when a door closes to allow another door to open. This Virgo Full Moon signals the end of the astrological year, and on a personal level, the significant end of a life chapter.

Kathryn and I have been in relationship for almost 14 years. We met at a Dolphin Mediation Night here in Hawaii back in May 2000. "Hi I'm Kathryn" were her first words, as she extended her hand to me. That wondrous meeting set in motion a most amazing ride...one with many twists and turns, ups and downs and much growth. And now sadly the ride has come to its conclusion: endings and beginnings.

In part, Gemini is the "lovers", "twins", or "troubadours" sharing information and raising consciousness. We created Gemini Awakening in 2002, reflecting our desire to share astrological news and tandem healing services with the world in new and innovative ways. Our creative expressions through imagery and video have been a wonderful way to reach out and connect with many people. We thank you for supporting the expression of the life we love to share.

In the realm of completions, and being aware of what this coming Virgo Full Moon offers (more below), the other day we returned to the place where we married in Hawaii...Pu'u Honua O'Honaunau...the City of Refuge. There, we created a 4 direction design made from plants from our land. Through the symbolic nature of each offering, (Ti leaf, fig, noni, herbs, fruits etc) we acknowledged how that energy had been expressed, and been an integral part of our lives together. Amazingly, especially as we were in a remote part of the Refuge, someone appeared unexpectedly (how Uranian) to give us a donation and tell us how much he appreciated all that we generously share in our astrology work. Perhaps he was a Universal emissary for everyone who has been the recipient of our healing work over the past 14 years? We were deeply touched by this unexpected gesture, and "out of the blue" Uranian visitor.

Kathryn has now created her own web site where you can contact her at KathrynAndren.com.  There, Kathryn now features her "Cosmic Collage" Gallery, Astrology Consulting and Insights, and Massage and Bodywork services. Check it out here. You can also "Like" her new Facebook page: Kathryn Andren Art.

In the the meantime, I'm continuing to post under the Gemini Awakening banner. However, this too will change over the coming months. I am creating a new web site with greater integration between my Astrology, Bodywork, Photography and Creative Expressions. You'll receive notice when this is
complete.

Our time of closure has been affirming, inclusive, sad and a host of many other feelings. As we surf these many waves of emotion, we affirm the gift we are to each other, and hold a supportive vision for the new adventures that await us individually. We ask for your prayers and support during this time of transition. Mahalo!

Here's the Full Moon chart: 

This Virgo Full Moon at 26° represents the last Full moon of this astrological year. It occurs for much of the world on Sunday the 16th: 7:08 am in Hawaii, 11:08 am on the West Coast, 5:08 pm GMT, and on the 17th from Thailand east to the international date line.

Virgo is opposite Pisces. Where Pisces embraces everything, Virgo focuses on specifics. They are 2 sides of the same astrological coin. Virgo helps bring the Pisces vibe to completion. Pisces adds emotional depth to Virgo's matter of fact approach.

Virgo is task oriented. It also honors life's rituals. This Full Moon is a powerful time to honor through ritual your life flow over the past astrological year, and to begin to sow seeds for the new season.

Come March 20th, the Sun enters Aries, signaling the start of a new astrological year. Aries carries the vibration of something brand new...exciting, raw, primal, edgy and full of life. Avail yourself now to the building vibration of closure. Mercury enters Pisces the day after the Full Moon supporting your expressions through the Piscean channels of empathic feelings and imagery in this process of completion.

Remember too, Mars is now retrograde in Libra. All matters of relationship are now under the retrograde microscope of re-examination and renewal. This sets the stage for The Cardinal Cross of April through early June. As we have written previously, this a profound and intense energetic cycle. More information will be shared in the next update for the Aries New Moon on March 30th. The changes we now experience personally and professionally are examples of these major change cycles. Learn more about these epic cycles in our Gemini Awakening 2014 Update: Life at the Crossroads, available in its entirety ($20.14), or individual segments ($7.99). 

Conclusion: The unwinding of 14 years together takes time. You will be hearing from each of us over the next 2 months about our future directions in astrology, art, imagery and healing service. Virgo Full Moon illuminates health and service to others. Thank you from both of us for providing us an opportunity to serve you together over the years. Equally, we look forward to sharing our gifts with you in new and innovative ways.

Aloha from Hawaii Island
