Aries Full Moon Sept 29 2012: The Door Opens

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds meet.
The door is round and open.
Don't go back to sleep. 
Rumi

Aries Full Moon arrives on the 29th setting the stage for a potent October and November. Aries is the most "now" focused sign of the zodiac. Neither past nor future are of concern. This Full Moon occurs at 5:18 pm in Hawaii, 8:18 on the West Coast, and on the 30th in Canada's Eastern Maritime east to the International Date Line,

This particular lunation includes a very intense connection with the Uranus Pluto square as the Moon positions almost exact to Uranus in Aries. The last time the Full Moon conjunct Uranus was in September 2008 in the sign of Pisces.

As a theme builder, the Moon adds a potent emotional content to this transgenerational duo, raising their energy to palpable levels over the next 2 weeks. I expect events and weather on the world stage, which have been intense over the past few months, to continue at the same level or higher.

New Moon in the Earth sign of Virgo occurs in Hawaii on September 15 at 4:11 pm; 7:11p on the West Coast US; and on the 16th from eastern South America, east to the International Date Line. This New Moon amplifies and accentuates all qualities of Virgo.

Virgo, one of the Earth signs, is about everything we can touch, taste, smell, or connect to physically. Virgo is about the body, health, analysis, traditions and sacred rituals, and being mindful of details. What habits do you follow to create a healthy lifestyle? What stories do you tell yourself about your health or daily habits?

This Virgo Full Moon is at 23 Virgo, with Virgo’s planet ruler, Mercury nearby at 28 Virgo. Sun, Moon and Mercury together in the Virgo vibration suggests clear communication.  "How can I communicate clearly and efficiently?" is a question to contemplate. especially as Virgo Moon and Sun create a wide square to jovial Jupiter at 15 Gemini. Jupiter is expansive and says

Current Astrological Update from Kathryn Andren Mina

Pisces Full Moon is August 31, the second Full Moon this month! Pisces Full Moon illuminates an experience of boundlessness and Oneness.  This month’s Gemini Astrology Update is a combination of personal reflections related to Pisces with suggestions on how you can align with planetary patterns in the coming month.  Pisces, after all, dissolves boundaries.

In August, we were blessed with visits from family, friends and Brian and Jenny Lumb’s facilitation of an amazing program, Bloom.  Prior to Bloom, some of us had the opportunity experience the wild beauty of the island at Volcanoes National Park, and also swim with many spinner dolphins the morning of the
