March 2020 Full Moon Report

The Virgo full moon on Monday, March 9, 2020, has a generally positive influence but there are some potential challenges to be aware of.

The March 2020 full moon is opposite Neptune which can cause confusion, deception, and scandal. This challenging aspect to the planet ruling illness and infection may also increase fears about coronavirus which may be well-based if a pandemic is declared. A trine aspect to Jupiter brings the potential good fortune, trust, and faith. However, this generous aspect to the planet of growth could also increase the spread of the virus.

These aspects to the March 2020 full moon activate Jupiter sextile Neptune. This idealistic and spiritual enlightening aspect gives the March 9 full moon its overall positive influence. It also means hope, faith, and moral integrity from Jupiter can overcome any fears, suspicions or secrets from Neptune.

Fixed stars conjunct full moon March 2020 also have a mixed influence but again, a generally positive one. They bring the potential for regrets, disgrace, and misfortune. But also the strength, courage, and spiritual force to combat fear and deception with faith and honesty.

Full Moon Challenges

Full Moon opposite Neptune can increase your emotional sensitivity so much that you could become confused about your own feelings and misunderstand others. You could also give the wrong impression to others.

A tendency to over idealize someone and ignore their negative character traits could leave you vulnerable to deception and scandal. Being misunderstood, victimized or rejected could lead to fear, disappointment, isolation, and self-pity. So be very clear and honest about your intentions and avoid gossip.

Your intuition may become negatively influenced by your subconscious fears and be unreliable. You could imagine things that are not real, experience strange feelings or have nightmares. Paranoia, hypochondria, weakness, guilt, and shame are possible. Take extra precautions if you are not feeling well as you could be more susceptible to illness and infection.

Full Moon Solutions

Full Moon trine Jupiter brings good feelings and happiness. It helps you share your feelings with openness and honesty to reduce the deceptive influence of Neptune. It also improves mutual respect and understanding to reduce the confusing influence of Neptune.

Increased self-awareness will help you better differentiate between truth and fiction, reality and illusion. The fortunate and generous Jupiter aspect helps bring out the more positive traits of Neptunes like imagination, creativity, and compassion. Wealth, success, popularity and friendship are possible.

Jupiter sextile Neptune brings harmony, kindness, hope and good fortune. This spiritual enlightening aspect gives a good overall perspective of who you are and your place in the world. You can better align yourself and your goals with your spiritual philosophy or religious beliefs.

You can be generous without sacrificing your living standards. You can grow spiritually without throwing away your material possessions. Optimism, good intentions, and moral integrity make this a good full moon for professional advancement, business, and legal matters.

Full Moon Aspects

Full Moon trine Mars gives the courage and initiative to make the first move and take the lead. You will intuitively know what you want and how to get it. This is a good full moon for acting on your instincts. You can be direct and assertive without looking bossy or rude, and instead, be admired for your honesty and sincerity.

Full Moon quincunx Neptune increases your emotional sensitivity but too many, or conflicting emotions, can lead to confusion and tension. With Mars amplifying your emotions, relationship tension could escalate to a critical point when you either have to escape or have a meltdown.

To reduce tension and avoided a crisis point, find the right balance in your life. A balance between a social drink and alcoholism, balance between health consciousness and hypochondria, and between service and sacrifice. The key to finding the right balance is trust and faith, in yourself, in others and in the universe/God.

July New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Cancer

Cancer New Moon

We’re now approaching the new moon solar eclipse in Cancer. This potential big shake-up on the home front may already be felt as we draw closer…and start of eclipse season, a window of 3 eclipses over three consecutive new and full moon creating a prolonged window of accelerated growth if we embrace the lessons. 

During a solar eclipse the moon moves in front of the sun obscuring the light of the sun. What does that mean? Unexpressed emotions will be felt and expressed catalysing shifts based on the truth of our deepest feelings. And Kali Ma, the Dark Mother will surface calling out unconscious patterns of behaviour…coming ready or not!

This first eclipse in the sign of Cancer is likely to highlight situations that are not honouring of our emotional body. i.e. relationships where we feel emotionally unloved, unsupported or unwelcome since Cancer highlights our core need to belong.

This eclipse may evoke mother issues that are impacting your ability to form emotional attachments and risk emotional intimacy and resentments if you feel like you’re not receiving the same level of nurturance and support you give to others.

And for those of you with planets near 10.37 (round it up to 11) degrees Cancer get ready for big life changes, particularly to do with home, family and community! 
 
So whilst new moon in Cancer may see us wanting to snuggle on the couch with movies & comfort food in response to this intensity, it’s helpful to remember ‘in-tense’ encounters are an opportunity to accelerate our transformation.

So long as we stay in the present tense & feel what’s surfacing. The more present we are, the more available we are to take responsibility & process anything that’s being triggered.
