The Full Moon in Virgo occurs on Sunday, February 28, 2010 at 11:38am
 EST/ 8:38am PST.
 The Moon @ 9 degrees 58 minutes or 10 degrees Virgo
 This full moon has Jupiter opposite it conjunct the Sun which
 amplifies the good will and positive energy of the Sun in Pisces and
 makes this a lovely lunation to celebrate. do something to honor the
 full moon in whatever way you feel appropriate.
We have the opportunity to put work and service into effect along with
our compassiona nature of Sun conjunct Jupiter in Pisces.
The on going Health Care Reform debate, is perfect during this time…

 
 Politics and greed still stand in the way, but that is the on-going
results of  Pluto in Capricorn…It still gives us a glimpse into the non-leadership qualities of our Government,  and the continued push for  the monetary aspects.

I was trying to find something positive to think and say about the country and our state of affairs,  except for Mars going direct,  and it has been difficult.   We can all meditate, pause and reflect for a higher consciousness level and  plan for a higher standard for all our fellow Americans.   We can meditate for a higher Universal love, but I think we have to do more in the coming years.   I found this explanation of Saturn/Pluto from “stariq”, that I can live with and work towards.  It gives me a better understanding of these planets.  “”Balance Fear with Intellect.”    “Face Facts”

Saturn and Pluto,  are the two heaviest planets in astrology

 The necessity (Saturn) of addressing
 destructive forces (Pluto) will become clearer. However, instead of
 freezing with fear or panicking, slow-moving Saturn in logical Libra
 is a reminder to stay cool and think our way through the crises we
 face.

 Saturn square Pluto forges new tools for addressing complex matters,
 both personally and collectively. The key is to balance fear with
 intellect and mistrust with communication.

 The beauty of this powerful aspect is that we are not required to have
 answers right now. As long as we are willing to ask tough questions
 and work diligently with what we find positive change is possible.
 When we don’t turn away from the unpleasant truths that undermine our
 security we are rewarded with insights to guide our actions. It is
 vital, though, that we learn to trust ourselves. This does not require
 purity or perfection but an honest willingness to do our best. A
 mature recognition that we are powerful agents of change turns fear
 into actions that will make us midwives of a better world to come.

A slow but steady buildup of coalitions of unlikely allies can replace
 fear with effective activism.

All I can think about right now is Mars turning Direct.    It will do so,  on March 10, 2010.

We have to  make  progress, and move forward.   This has been the longest period of mediocre, and  stalling, that we have had in years.    We have too many problems, in this country,  that cannot be acted up fast enough…

A few more weeks,  just more time, for patience !  WhichI am running out of…..

The New Moon today,  February 13,  in  Aquarius at 25 degrees and 18
 minutes is conjunct Chiron (healing ) and Neptune  (spiritual growth )– with all  conjuncting  the U.S. Moon in Aquarius.   I hope this time, brings some togetherness for the country.   During this New Moon, each
 one of us is especially challenged to  access the unique,
 individualistic part of ourselves,  and we receive   the added boost,
 of healing  and a renewal of spirituality  from  the Chiron/Neptune conjunction

 Venus  will conjunct Jupiter, in Pisces, 7 degrees 25 minutes is in effect on the 14th, 15th, and 16th.  These are exceptionally  days,  for  bringing spiritual,  social, and financial blessings  It is a great time  too,  for reconciliations, and cooperation. Everything starting off right should  have a  high degree for success.

I cannot help but think of New Orleans, and their Super Bowl win.  What a wonderful time of blessings to be bestowed on a city.   It has all the ingredients for these planetary conjunctions.  It is a unique place that is healing and growing, and we are all loving it together,  as a country.

Don’t forget to look up,  always,  but now we can catch the Venus/Jupiter planets, close together.

I found this poem about Obama————————–

 Obama,
see yourself.
Obama,
show yourself.
You said to people,
‘bring change’.
You said to people,
‘yes we can’.
Obama,
now,
say to yourself,
bring change.
Say to yourself,
yes I can.
Obama,
save yourself.
You rode on change
which always looks pleasing
from afar.
Now you will have to
confront the nearness.
Don’t get down now,
don’t rest content
with color change in White House.
Tame the change,
make the change.
Let people say,
‘yes he did’.
Let people say,
once more,
four years down,
‘Welcome again,
The Same Change.’

The Saturn/Pluto square that was exact Sunday, January 31st.
 has a lingering  heaviness  and  is unearthing deep
 crevasses around structures in our lives and our  Government,  that
have outlived their purpose,
 and are no longer working.   We have to face  transformations of
what needs to go and what
 can possibly stay,  what needs  to regenerted,  and  asserted with
new beginnings.      This is the world of Pluto.
Looks like,  hanging on to the past, and the status quo, is only
causing more chaos.
Changing,  can be extremely difficult, but we have Love going on in the
month of February,  that is a good start.   Gotta have that “loving
feeling” .   Enjoy this month, because we have big jolts of reality
to deal  with,– coming up!
