Here in the North Country it was a crisp cold night and the sky was clear of Cloud People. Snowy Owl and Shooting Star knew the exact Full Moon was the following morning but they always loved seeing Sister Moon in her glorious fullness. They decided to go to the meadow close by as it was the best place for viewing the sky. There had been a heavy snow storm just days before and the meadow land was covering in white. It was very beautiful. By the time the sisters reached the meadow darkness had fallen and Sister Moon had already risen in the east. She was a magnificent golden silver orb hanging there in the indigo sky. Her brilliant light cast golden shadows on the snowy meadow.

As the young women settled on rocks at the edge of the open space Shooting Star noticed a very bright Starry One travelling with Sister Moon. Even though Luna was exceptionally luminous the Star was very visible. Sister Moon spoke “This Starry One is the heart of the lion in the sky. It promises honor and success but only if revenge is avoided. This Star is the guardian of the compassionate heart. The focus for this Full Moon is healing, forgiveness, completion and release. Forgiveness releases someone from the need to retaliate. It allows one to respond to life with Loving Kindness for all”.

Sister Moon continued. “This Starry One who travels with me is known as the Watcher in the North. The North is the place of stillness, patience, honor and respect. It is the place of the Wisdom Keepers. This Full Moon offers you the opportunity to cross The Rainbow Bridge of Healing into Wholeness. That is the path to Wisdom.”  

Snowy Owl and Shooting Star watched as Sister Moon and the Starry One continued to sail the sky together. They felt the specialness of the cosmic dance they were being blessed by.

Full Moons are always visually stunning. This one even more so. Sister Moon is closest to earth than at any other time in 2019. We have had a series of Super Full Moons since the Jan 21 Eclipse and the final one for this year will be on March 20/21 which is also the Equinox. But this Virgo Moon is the closest. She is blessing us with healing, forgiveness, and completion. The Moon is at 00 degrees Virgo 42 minutes and the Sun is at 00 degrees Pisces 42 minutes. Astrologically at Full Moons Luna is travelling with the Earth. The healing promised is for our precious planet and all her kingdoms.  The Starry One travelling with the Moon is Regulus, located in the heart center of the Constellation of Leo, the Lion. It is an important Royal Star of Persia and offers us the opportunity to lead by love rather than needing power over others. The Tarot Constellation that is activated is The Hermit, introspection and personal integrity. The Hermit holds a lantern to illuminate the dark path ahead but his head is turned to the past. This Full Moon asks us to forgive the past so we can step onto The Rainbow Bridge of Healing into Wholeness (Virgo/Pisces). 

Full Moons are completion energies but this one holds the promise of new beginnings if we choose to heal. On Monday Feb 18 the healer and problem solver Chiron entered Aries at 4.10 am EST. He is reminding us that we have the key (the glyph for Chiron is a key) to open the door to inspired new beginnings (Aries). From April to Sept 2018 he was visiting Aries and asking us all to transform anger into loving kindness. Chiron will be in Aries for the next eight years. Also on Monday (5.52am EST) Venus (love and relationship connections) met with Saturn at 16 degrees Capricorn (personal responsibility) giving us the strength to make a difference in the world. At 6.04 pm EST (Feb 18) the Sun entered Pisces (healing, completion, and release) setting the tone for his journey through the 12^th sign.

We also have a union of the rulers of this Full Moon. The Sun in Pisces is guided by Neptune at 15 degrees of Pisces (illusion or illumination). The Virgo Moon is guided by Mercury at 16 degrees Pisces (our spiritual perceptions). Their exact meeting was at 1.37 am EST Feb 19. This is an unusual occurrence to have the Sun/Moon rulers joined in unity. It is a blessing if we choose the path of Healing into Wholeness. Venus/Saturn in Capricorn (strengthening our spiritual foundation) are sextile (easy opportunities we create for ourselves) the Neptune/Mercury union (Mystical connections). Chiron is the spiritual ruler of the Virgo Moon which strengthens the theme of healing. Chiron is inconjunct the Moon. This aspect is 150 degrees and asks us to let go and release what is not working so we can come into alignment with the new. When something ends something new is waiting for us to embrace.

Our Animal Totem guides are Brown Bear, introspection, healing, and The Healer (Moon in Virgo) and Cougar, spiritual power, and Wolf, the teacher who guides us through change and transformation (Sun in Pisces). They are reversed for the Southern Hemisphere Medicine Wheel. For all of us the Clan Mother for Virgo is Setting Sun Woman.  She is the keeper of tomorrow’s dreams and goals and the guardian of Mother Earth’s resources. She is the Mother of the proper use of will. She teaches us how to live the truth. The Clan Mother for Pisces is Weighs The Truth. She is the keeper of equality and the guardian of justice. She teaches us how to use personal integrity to find healing solutions to life’s challenges. She teaches us how to accept the truth. You can find their stories and the Medicine they carry in The 13 Original Clan Mothers by Jamie Sams.

This Virgo/Pisces Full Moon activates the 6^th Ray of Idealism and Devotion. But we must avoid dogmatic doctrine and the limitation it creates. Our Archangel Guides are Uriel, peace and love, and Aurora Grace, balance and harmony. These astrological signs are also found on the 2^nd Ray of Divine Love and Wisdom with Archangels Jophiel, creative vision and Divine Power, and Constance Christine, inner perception and spiritual illumination.

This Full Moon gifts us with the opportunity to heal the separation between mind (our thoughts and ideas) body (our physical/emotional well-being) and spirit (our joy). When those parts of self are in alignment we are guided by our Soul’s Wisdom.

Namaste and blessings,

Dale
