get full moon chart

Here in the UK so much rain has fallen on our land, covering the fields with lots of water and despite the fact that the earth is getting saturated, nature carries on growing and supporting us. The days are getting longer and once again the ground is being carpeted with the white gown of snowdrops. Golden catkins hang from the hazel and the birds are becoming more active. How blessed are we, to live on such an amazing planet.

The night skies have been a delight to observe, with Mars, the red planet, being there for all to see and in the morning Venus is still adorning the heavens just before dawn.

The full Moon chart.
This is the time of the Suns passage through the sign of Aquarius with the full Moon falling in the opposite sign of Leo. Aquarius is very humanistic encouraging everyone to become the true individual they are, although they can have high ideals of how everyone should be. Leo, on the other hand, is very proud and easily hurt if not acknowledged and appreciated. The position of the Sun and the aspects from Uranus to the Sun and Moon shows there is a very unpredictable aspect to this chart.

Mercury is very strong in this chart as it is the chart ruler and is also elevated at the top of the chart. We are being asked to be aware of how we appreciate our friends and how we communicate this to each other.  Conversation could be vague; creating frustration. Words can have so many different meanings which can lead to misunderstanding. The Mars Pluto opposition asks us to remember patience is a virtue and everything comes to those that wait. Maybe all has not been revealed yet and it’s easy to jump to conclusions.

The use of energy is in the news in many different forms. Our philosophical values are being changed through personal experience and many of us are having to look at how we assert ourselves, being challenged to redirect our energy. The rising cost of fuel, electric and gas are an increasing concern, reflecting issues around the use of transport and the means to travel. How mad is it, that it’s still cheaper to fly than catch a train.

Pluto leaves Sagittarius.
Pluto enters Capricorn on the 26th January, visiting this sign for a short while. The mutable sign’s of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces will all breath a sigh of relief. Since 1995, they have been going through lots of transformation especially in the areas of religion and communication. We will not see the full affect of this until Pluto has  gone retrograde back into Sagitarius in mid June and then finally leaves the mutable sign’s and again enters Capricorn in November.

Saturn in Virgo.
Saturn will only fix what’s worth fixing and Virgo exemplifies the efficiency of the earth.

Saturn is retrograde in Virgo reflecting the condition of the nation and our eating habits, highlighting the state of the food industry, a theme that will be with us for a while. Virgo likes to be self-sufficient and asks how sustainable it is to be able to buy two chickens for a fiver. Cheap food has its hidden costs. For some people, this is all they can afford and it’s difficult to buy good food when there’s not much money. Saturn rules fear and Virgo rules nutrition, so there could be a dread of not having enough. Jupiter trine Saturn can imply that there is a lot of discontentment. However on the whole, people have an amazing amount of patience, giving us the capacity to set some realistic goals.

I leave you with a quote:
