Full Moon :: March 7 2023 :: 6:40 am CST :: 16 degrees Virgo

A Unicorn dances with you in the moonlight.

This time is flush with symbolic wisdom. Your dreams and inner guidance are strong, but it may take time to unravel the meanings of the messages. Dance with the unique and weird images that come your way. Take a little time to drift and dream. See things you’ve never seen before. All of this imaginative processing can give you respite from the intensity of reality.

A Full Moon holds the tension of opposites. The Moon in Virgo is opposing the Sun in Pisces. Virgo asks us to deal with the most practical factors of our existence, while Pisces leads us into the spiritual side of things.

It’s so hard to get perspective with this Full Moon. Virgo brings us into the small details and Pisces flings us so far afield that we are no longer in the Earth realm. How do you maintain a consistent and objective view of your current reality with these forces at work? It’s very difficult to plan or get a clear mental perspective.

Saturn and Pluto are both changing signs in March 2023. Today, on the Full Moon, Saturn is leaving Aquarius, where it’s mostly been since March of 2020. And on March 23rd, Pluto is leaving Capricorn, a transit that begin in 2008. Obviously there’s a lot to say about these shifts, but for the sake of this post, imagine that we are collectively standing in a cosmic doorway, saying goodbye to old energy and hello to the unknown. This Full Moon underscores the big rally cry of these shifts. To me, it’s as if everything feel big, symbolic, a bit overblown, like a pattern that never ends and wild with possibility at the same time. It feels as if everything must be resolved NOW, but there is no good plan or solid ground to walk on. The best advice I might offer is to prioritize and remember that nature is slow.

And! As if all of this isn’t enough already, Jupiter and Venus are benevolently dragging you through the healing Chiron mud. Wow! I would objectively say that the current astrology is A LOT. Relationships or values may feel especially mucky. When relationships are tenuous, it’s hard to relax. And when your values are in an upheaval, it’s harder to make decisions, focus and stay balanced. Processing your old emotions is hard work, but now is the right time for it.

Big takeaways: 

Moon in Virgo - Bow down to the mundane, do what needs to be done.

Sun, Mercury, and Neptune in Pisces - Embrace your blind faith. Don’t try to plan, just trust.  Where it’s possible, enjoy the magic of the moment. Enjoy the sunlight as it streams through the window and notice your shadow on the wall.

Saturn and Pluto changing signs - Remember that these are high-energy times. A lot of content is finishing up and new themes are beginning. You need to prioritize so that you don’t burn out on all of this. Refer to the Virgo and Pisces advice above for help with this. Take care of the mundane details and have faith if possible.

The wind changes direction and the sailor must plot a new course.

Stay sensitive to fresh opportunities, breakthrough ideas, changing relationships. A sailor in a small boat must stay alert and become comfortable with movement and speed. This is a great way to respond at this Full Moon. Allow the swell of the waves. Allow for movement. As you loosen up your expectations and open your mind you may discover a fresh perspective.

In a fantasy garden oversized fruit hanging from every tree. Flowers drip with vibrant color and . If you choose to step into the garden, time stops and reality fades away. The garden offers both rest and creativity. But will you get swept away and lost in the daydream of the beautiful garden?

This Full Moon invites you to lay down on a flower bed, relax, and make space for emotions. But if you do, you might worry that your responsibilities lurk untended in the background.

Like the butterfly embodying a new form, a New Moon offers a fresh beginning.

At this moment, we are drying our wings and waiting, just before taking flight. We are waiting to finish the transformation process. We need to think about what we just went through, and start to get excited about the new places to which we will fly. Wait here and hang on to the side of the chrysalis while new hope and possibility emerges.

Scorpio or Scorpio Rising

A wall of snow slides off the edge of the cliff, exposing the rock underneath.

A big transformation is upon you. It might take awhile for the snow to settle so you can see your path forward. The brunt of this avalanche is affecting your understanding of relationships. Notice what’s moving and what’s being shown. Try not to get swept up in drama. You are ready to change how you trust and engage in power dynamics.

Underground rivers create new caverns.

There’s something moving below the surface. You can decide not to question it, and just carry on with your daily life. But there would be an inescapable and stressful feeling that something is off.

Or you could try to follow the subterranean river of emotion. Where is the source? How mighty is the current? What new spaces are opening up within you?

Running on a track, jumping over hurdles. As you leap over the last one, you effortlessly take flight, soaring through the sky.

This Full Moon can give you lift off. There are hurdles that you need to work with on the ground. Maybe the hurdles are thoughts. Thoughts that separate you, are impulsive, or are emotionally charged by past experiences and wounds.

Jump the hurdles like a track star.

Have you ever stood in the surf and felt as if you were going to be pushed over by the waves, but then found that if you dipped down under the surface you could avoid feeling swept away?

The deeper you go, the more control you have.

The more that you resist intuition, dreaminess and the Unknown, the more overwhelming it becomes.

My metaphor for this Full Moon is …

Digging up the garden to plant a late summer crop.

The first attempt had its value. Those plants had their day in the sun. It might seem late but it’s possible to start over. Say goodbye to what was birthed, what died, what was eaten and the opportunities that were lost. Now it’s time to let go of your ego, cut the stalks down to the roots and start a new crop.
