Virgo Full Moon March 19: Awakening a Deeper Service to Humanity

"I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you."  Oprah Winfrey

"Service...
Giving what you don't have to give.
Giving when you don't need to give.
Giving because you want to give."
Damien Hess, Musician

Pisces New Moon March 4th: Dreaming the dream

"A Chinese philosopher once had a dream that he was a butterfly. From that day on, he was never quite certain that he was not a butterfly, dreaming that he was a man."
Unknown

"I have heard it said that the first ingredient of success - the earliest spark in the dreaming youth - is this: dream a great dream."
John Alan Appleman, Author & Poet

Pisces New Moon arrives on the 4th (or on the 5th for points east of Iraq to the International Date Line). Symbolically, as the last sign of the zodiac, the water sign of Pisces represents completion and transcendence on many levels of consciousness, especially those accessing dream states and the transpersonal. It also places added emphasis on the realm of emotions and feelings.

New Moon energy is further intensified by the presence of 4 potent planetary energies in Pisces: Mercury (communication), Chiron (healing), Mars (assertiveness) and Uranus (quick change). These archetypes signal the old ways of connecting are coming to a close. With a very strong line-up of Aries energy waiting in the wings around mid-month, we now witness a passing of the torch. Life is evolving

Leo Full Moon: February 18 Aquarius Express

"Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart."
Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC)

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life...most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition...[you] already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." Steve Jobs, co-founder, Apple Computer (1955 - )

Leo Full Moon occurs late on the 17th in Hawaii at 10:35 pm, and on the 18th from the West Coast US (12:35 am) east to the International Date line (GMT 8:35 am). This potent Full Moon, along with the March and April Full Moons are the closest Full Moons of 2011, occurring near perigee (closest point to Earth).In other words "think big".

Full Moon at or near perigee brings an intensification of energy on many levels, including emotional expression and reactions. Also, this is the 4th of 5 consecutive Full Moons positioning at the end degree of an astrological sign.These "Master Full Moons" carry an added emphasis all their own. Combine perigee position and mastery influence, and you have in short a "pay attention Moon". Visually, the Moon will seem larger than usual.

Readers Digest Version - this Full Moon further amplifies this past month's on-going Aquarius themes of freedom and social equality from oppression, heavy handed governmental rule, and economic struggles. At this Full Moon, Sun (fuel), Neptune (vision), Mars (assertivness), and Mercury (communication) in Aquarius position opposite the Moon (see chart below).

This Aquarian dynamic points to catalytic like vibrations surging through Middle East countries such as Tunisia, Egypt, Liberia, Libya, Bahrain, and Algeria, creating social upheaval and in some instances quick, unexpected change of long standing governmental oppressive rule. In my estimation, this is the opening wave of similar waves to come in other areas of the world.

Full Moon in fire sign Leo promotes expression of courage, access to heart's desires and support for expressing creative passion. Add the aforementioned Aquarius line-up,and Moon's perigee and Master vibrations to the mix, and the potential occurs for more quick
