Full Moon in Virgo March 12 2017: Order out of Chaos
Every Full Moon is full of gifts and blessings, and this one is no exception. Virgo is an earth sign, which means it helps us to ground into our bodies and the physical realm. Ruled by Mercury, the planet of the mind, it also helps us to ground our thoughts and ideas into a structure and organization that can aid us in finding greater balance.
Balance and integration is critical right now, since there is an abundance of planets in the more transcendent sign of Pisces including the Sun, which opposes the Virgo Moon.

The Moon is at her most powerful at the Full Moon, when her light outshines the light of the Sun and the instincts and emotions of the Moon dominate the Solar consciousness. The Virgo Moon is in her ascendance now, and anchors us to the earth as we try to fly beyond it. This can create a sense of imbalance and perhaps even inner chaos as we strive to find the clarity of ordering the mundane details of our lives (Virgo) in the midst of an explosion of creative power (Pisces).
There is a tight conjunction of planets to the Pisces Sun right now, including Chiron (wounding and healing) and Mercury (the mind and communication). Chiron facilitates our deeper wisdom and knowledge of our own emotional motivations, and Mercury opens the mind to greater clarity.

Virgo’s co-ruler is Chiron – Chiron perfectly fills out Virgo’s roles in service and health. Virgos resonate strongly with the story of Chiron as do planets in the sixth house.
The point in the previous thread about the more positive aspects of Aquarius are well taken, so here are a few more points about Uranus:
He was born by Gaia to be equal to herself, hence the connection with equality and justice.
Uranus is the starry sky of the heavens and thereby […]
