Full Moon in Virgo: Intricately Woven Dreams

Sun joins watery Neptune in Pisces as the moon reaches fullness in Virgo on March 9 (12:48pm, CT).  Pictures and images of reality intertwined with fantasy come to fruition.  Surrealness bends the lines of what is possible and makes it seem dreams are reachable.  Discoveries demystify situations that don’t align with truth. 

The same day Mercury ends its retrograde, rubbing the sleep out of our eyes upon waking from slumber. Insights and epiphanies come to light, making sense of what the subconscious resurfaced over the last 3 weeks. 7 planets are in the element of earth this full moon. Abundant earth asks for the physical and tangible to be paid attention to. Is the soul music of internal life matching the external world? Discordant notes show up for re-tuning. How can the “real” world better match visions of imagination?

Saturn moves from Capricorn to Aquarius on March 21.  Before it changes signs, Saturn sits in the late degrees of Capricorn, heavily emphasizing those traits.  Capricorn is practical, ambitious and rule-bound.  These traits can be useful but also function on over-drive during the culmination phase of Saturn’s time in Capricorn that began in late 2017.  Though Saturn ingresses into Aquarius in March, it later retrogrades back into Capricorn July 2020 to December 2020.  More on that later . . .

Mercury retrograde rewinds and replays past situations and in the sign of Pisces could facilitate reconnection to heal the past.  That said, 4 planets are in Capricorn: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto.  Saturn in Capricorn shows what separates people from each other, with the effect of re-inventing healthy boundaries but also building up overly protective and confining walls that block connection.  A dichotomy exists in the urge to merge with others and the trend of separation from those deemed “other” or “unsafe”.
