And now, a few bits from ECLIPSE:

24 February Pallas opposes h.Zeus and the Earth quincunxes Uranus. The tone may be one of fighting what we really want, insisting that the material encourages all the ‘wrong’ things in us, and persisting with the notion that smart money will be anywhere but invested in those things we want. Where did we get this nonsense? This may be a result of the soon-to-be conjunct Mercury retro-Mars meet-up in Pisces; the two of them get together in the sign of the Collective and convince us that the only possible acceptable response to things is to deny the individual Will in favor of some Cosmic ‘what the Collective needs’, and with our mental faculties tied up in knots, we may accept these notions as correct ones. Instead what we might do is consider how truly wise our ambitions really are, and whether they are attainable in this world by ourselves as the individuals we are. May bring forward a startling ‘discovery’ or two, and gives us a fresh lay of the land for the Merc retro period.

25 February Venus enters Pisces later in the day (somewhere between 6 and 7 PM Pacific time), but until she does, she sits in 29 hellacious degrees of Aquarius, stressing the intellect with all the jealousy, envy, wish-listing, want, appetite, and insistence on having relationship (even if the other party doesn’t want to) that can make a goddess cry. Finances, too, take a beating, as Venus is oh-so-likely to believe she can buy her way out of anything (or toward happiness). Ignore the tantrum-throwing child inside you, leaving all Venusian matters to which we might want to make changes as they are, for now.

Full Moon occurs on the 25th at 12:25 PM PST at 7 Virgo 23

Though we see old wounds clearly (Sun moving to conjunct Chiron) we are done with these; accounts are closed, criticism put to bed. Now reflected, positive light (the loving support and feedback of others) encourages development of and use of new talents and skills. These will change the view of one’s own individuality; what we saw as uniquely ‘us’ will have to change, as will our relationship to the social circle. Though Full Moons represent endings (to the old hurts we spoke of earlier), this one will also represent a beginning, as the shift in abilities exhibited, change to the Self-image, and the adjustments to interaction with (and probably status within) the group mark the start of a ‘new’ Self, possibly with a new role.

The Full Moon, 28 Feb 2010: Wise Conclusions

The Virgo Full Moon occurs on February 28th at 8:36 AM PST at 9 Virgo 58. Full Moons typically bring culmination of energy expression related to the matters of the natal House where they land for each individual, and we have a clue about the conclusions we may reach in the Moon/ Earth conjunction quintile Pallas in Scorpio. It’s the only aspect, other than an opposition to Jupiter, which is conjunct the Sun within 11 minutes of exactitude; the opposition, thanks to Jupiter, amplifies the Full Moon, exaggerating the power of the Sun which, of course, provides the reflected light that ‘powers’ the Moon’s shine (See ‘What You Won’t See on the Blog’ for February’s Full Moon in the Winter issue of ECLIPSE for more on Jupiter’s role http://dogandsunflower.wordpress.com/eclipse-in-depth-astrology-for-the-21st-century/

I would describe the quintile as ‘the spark of genius’ aspect; in the individual chart it seems to suggest something acutely perceptive and well-developed linked to the combining of the energies involved. In the mundane or event chart, it may imply we are all temporarily infused with the qualities of the energy in aspect to the Moon, in this case, the wise guidance, the knowledge and skills, of Pallas Athena. In Scorpio she uses her wisdom to sound the depths, to understand secrets and what lies below the surface, to take the old and make it new again (she is, I think, the goddess of re-cycling, when in Scorpio!) and she is representative of the exercise of commerce, business at its most practical (and in Scorp, likely the goddess of hostile takeovers and forensic accounting, the ‘slick deal,’ the business that hides something, such as the noodle shop that launders mob cash), as well as the exercise of our learned and practiced skills–not our talents, necessarily, but those skills we can adeptly and consistently employ (those things we can reliably call on, the abilities we could fill in our Universal Job Application with).

These Pallas qualities can be applied to endings and conclusions offered by the Full Moon; our investment in matters of the House where this falls for each of us will bring us our end result, whether reward, wrap-up, or termination of the matter. The Sabian symbol for this degree (found here http://www.cafeastrology.com/sabiansymbols_degreemeanings.html) is itself mysterious: ‘Two Heads Looking Out Beyond the Shadows’ What could this mean?

The duality included in the image is intriguing; we don’t often consider that every sign is in effect a duality, not just those that feature their dual nature up front (such as Gemini and Libra). ‘Two Heads’ –well, we’ve all heard that’s better than one–to me this implies the intelligence of unity, whether that’s among colleagues or the co-operative, or within the individual–so in essence, this may be a symbol of the acceptance of the duality of Oneness, with an emphasis on the way this can encompass opposing points of view or interests.

‘Looking Out Beyond the Shadows’ suggests far-sight, and the ability to see past any darkness that may surround us. Considering the quintile the Full Moon makes to Pallas, what we may be seeing in this image is a reflection of Pallas in Scorpio’s qualities, their ‘genius,’ applied to the events of the Full Moon. The image contains symbolisms appropriate to Pallas: intelligence, and  far-sight and the ability to see past human or earthly shadows (Pallas’ ability to guide wisely). What we are offered, then, is intelligence and wisdom applied to our Full Moon conclusions; this suggests that whatever occurs is ultimately the wisest outcome–there may be excavations, secrets revealed, changes and transformations, but in the end, the Universe is offering us a big dose of her wisdom, her smarts, her most divine expression, a Virgo Full Moon accounting–we need to accept and try to understand whatever comes forward as, ultimately, the best outcome for all.
