Full Moon in Pisces Alert - August 24, 2010

The Sun is barely in Virgo and this Full Moon event on August 24 so early in the opposing sign of Pisces, we know that there is a whole lot of sump'in going on. A lot of planetary transition at the zero declination over the equator is one reason for the tense feelings.

The Mercury Retrograde in Virgo is one more reason. The remainder of the Cardinal T-square configuration is another. The Grand Square of August 6/7 continues to reverberate its messages each time the Moon transits over the Cardinal Point. The next Cardinal Point transit by the Moon will be on August 26/27.  Thankfully, we have lots of work and activities to keep us distracted. One key to navigating through this Full Moon will be staying alert. We need to focus on our own work load and clearing that up first. Keep the gossip to a minimum or it could bite us in the buttocks.

New Moon in Leo Alert - August 9/10, 2010

The New Moon article is available online at Lunar Living Astrology on the "articles" page. Tomorrow's New Moon in Leo stands alone in one corner while the Cardinal T-square continues to confront our idea of fun and pleasure.  The August 6 Grand Cardinal Square was formed while the Moon transited into Cancer. It demonstrated the powerful pull that the Square has on our lives. We should feel somewhat relieved as the Moon joins up with the Sun; we get a little reprieve from all the seriousness.  Read Lunar Living's New Moon article to discover how to take advantage of this opportunity to re-focus on the Leo energies. On August 12/13, the Moon moves into Libra, joining the Venus, Mars and Saturn post of the T-square.  On August 19/20, the Moon joins the Pluto post in Capricorn. And again, on August 26/27, the Moon joins the Jupiter post in Aries. By this time, Uranus will have ingressed back into Pisces and the Venus/Mars conjunction in Libra will have moved beyond the square. Finally, on September 3, when the Moon moves back into the Cardinal Grand Square post in Cancer, the only remaining planets in the Cardinal T-square will be Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. It's enough to make another important statement, but not quite as powerful as the August 6 Grand Square.

Grand Cross Reverberations

Cardinal Signs

Although the aspects of the Cardinal Grand Cross from the Moon's interaction is mostly over, the T-square of the other planets continues. As the Moon transits over those points, we will continue to feel the reverberations of the Great Squared energies. The Moon will transit over the T-square placements on August 12, August 19 and August 27. Another, less potent Grand Cross will occur on September 3/4 with the Moon, Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter retrograde. By this time, Uranus will have moved into Pisces (although it will still be conjunct to Jupiter) and the Venus/Mars conjunction will be in the later degrees of Libra. This should round up any messages that we are receiving from the Grand Cross. Read more about the Cardinal Grand Cross (aka Grand Square) influence at JAstrology.com
