Full Moon Astro-Tarot Forecast – March 16, 2014

Today, March 16, beaming bountifully upon us (8:08 p.m. UT), we have a Full Moon in the earthy, mutable sign of Virgo.
 

Diligent and conscientious Virgo often gets a hard rap. People like to pick on the painstaking, practical sign, ironically calling the Virgin “picky.” Well, without the attention to detail and process-oriented grounding of Virgo, gardens would never get tended, children wouldn’t get off to school on time, kitchens wouldn’t get cleaned. Dog wouldn’t get walked, new computer programs wouldn’t exist, and screenplays wouldn’t get edited.

I love Virgo industriousness. Perhaps it’s because I have three planets in the Sixth House of Service, ruled by Virgo, so I’m a worker bee by nature. The challenge (as with any sign's qualities) is when Virgo “doing” modality runs amok. Then, it’s like a virus out of control, and as my double Virgo sister describes it, she enters the relentless realm of "the Hamster Wheel": the doing never ceases. There is always more to accomplish. But that’s über-thorough Virgo out of balance.

At this Full Moon time, we can make the best use of our pruning, sheering, tending and focusing energies to serve Life Itself. That may mean serving our work by completing a project, handling the numbers of our taxes, or finally cleaning out the fridge.

"How May I Serve?"

 

The best approach to service is the selfless way, called seva in Sanskrit/yoga philosophy. Service is vital to healing; only through service can we keep what we’ve gained in life – by giving it away. It is the ultimate reward. We see it in the happy panting of a dog we’ve just walked, the blissed-out gaze of a partner whom we’ve just massaged, the appreciative hug of a neighbor you’ve just driven to a doctor’s appointment.

All of this is made juicier by having zero expectation of receiving something in turn. The ‘tit for tat’ approach does not apply in selfless service. The reward, like karma yoga, lies in the doing itself – action for action’s sake.

Results and returns? They’re the cherry on top.

On action alone be thy interest,

Never on its fruits.

Let not the fruits of action be thy motive,

Nor be thy attachment to inaction.

Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2

Now, without further ado, let us look at how this Full Moon cycle is affecting you!

For best results, as always, be sure to read for your Sun, Moon and Rising Sign.

If you love these forecasts, why not show your support with a contribution? It's good karma!

Erin Reese’s channeled Astro-Tarot messages

Full Moon in Virgo

Sunday, March 16, 2014

After purifying my super-charged Universal Waite Tarot deck and calling upon my guides, here are my channeled messages for the Full Moon in Virgo…

UNIVERSAL CARD (for everyone):

XII – HANGED MAN

The Full Moon in Virgo falls while the Sun is still in selfless Pisces. Here we focus on giving without expectation of reward. We’re all amping up our spiritual bank accounts. Who’s keeping track? Life itself. Keep investing by sharing what you have, whether it be time, money, love, or mentoring. You are embodying holy seva.

 ARIES:

FOUR OF CUPS

Contemplate your next move, Aries, before flying off the handle and executing tasks, half-cocked. Your action plan is going to take some time to implement, Better to take 25% more time to plan before you begin; it will all proceed so much smoother.

TAURUS:

FIVE OF CUPS

Transiting Saturn in Scorpio has been opposing your Taurean Sun since October 2012. You may feel challenged by Life more than ever the past year. If you trust that losses leave room for new gains, your mood will brighten immediately. Keep your eye on the sunny side.

GEMINI:

NINE OF SWORDS

Uh-oh, the ‘thinking monster’ might be attempting to infiltrate your busy brain space, Gemini. Especially at night. These thought patterns are NOT you! They aren’t even true! Practice ignoring mind chatter and focus on calming your nervous system. Get ready for bed much earlier.

CANCER:

NINE OF WANDS

It’s time for you to call off the struggle. If you try to do too much, your mood will just go south. If you are cranky or crabby, maybe you’re trying to prove your worth by doing too much. You are whole and perfect exactly as you are, not as you do!

LEO:

THE EMPRESS

Spring weather is here and you are LOVING it. Use some of the Virgo Full Moon energy to plant a garden or do some deep spring cleaning and nurture your home. You have so much love to share with the rest of us, and you do it with your own special blend of shining your light on your loved ones.

VIRGO:

THREE OF WANDS

Keep your eye on the big picture, Virgo, and have a great big overview in mind so you don’t get lost in the details. Imagine you’re on a mountaintop looking down on all your life projects. Prioritize. What is most important and what needs to happen first?

LIBRA:

SEVEN OF WANDS

Your job is to stay balanced in head and heart no matter what flurry of activities is flying in your direction. Learn to stand your ground and be firm in your conviction. Focus on the most important tasks, projects, and values to avoid distractions that whittle away at your energy.

SCORPIO:

HIEROPHANT

You are being called to give a bit of volunteer service to a group you are involved with. Serve a school, church, spiritual group, or community activity. Your power and commitment are needed. It will be good for your soul.

SAGITTARIUS:

THE DEVIL

As a Sag, you love life sometimes to excess and hedonistic qualities might be rearing their heads. Where might you tend to overdo it? At this time of high Virgo energy, we are asked to remember: all things in moderation (including moderation). Add a bit of clean-up committee to your daily habits. Just a wee bit!

CAPRICORN:

SIX OF CUPS
Serving the kids and gardens in your world is a wise use of Virgo Full Moon energy, especially during the springtime. Even planting a small crop of flowers, or herbs like basil, or a bush of lavender – small gestures make a big difference to the earthy Sea goat. Show a young person how to care for the earth.

AQUARIUS:

TWO OF SWORDS

Should you apply your ingenious skills and energy to this arena or project, or that one? Where to begin? What choice is BEST? With so much to DO, it can be easy to get confused. The best advice now is not to think. When in doubt, just act. Period.

 

PISCES:

THREE OF SWORDS

Sometimes Life taketh away and says ‘no’ to us, or ‘not right now.’ This is a good exercise in trust. Yes, it can hurt sensitive Piscean hearts. See what you can do to have compassion for other humans right now. By serving those creatures less fortunate than you, you will feel enriched and healed. You’re so good at caring. Start with your self, Fishy Fish!
