No time for a prayer

On the eve of this Full Moon, a news story breaks of a Syrian father rushing, under cover of darkness, to bury his nine year old daughter while unrelenting bullets pierce their world. Neighbors came with shovels, hurriedly digging the small dirt hole. The father running toward them, carrying his child wrapped in her white burial shroud, still a target. No time for prayers here, the reporter lamented. Or was it all a prayer?

The Leo Full Moon today at 1:54 PM, PDT*, sets the stage for that most needed of all journeys, the 18 inches from your head to your heart. The Aquarius Sun is the great humanitarian thinker, rallying the neighbors. The Leo Moon is the courageous heart, loyal and true, willing to go the distance for love.
The Force of courage under fire is with you.

Warrior Mars rules Tuesday, February 7, 2012

Aries (March 20-April 19)
While you were sleeping, messenger Mercury plugged into the Aquarius Sun’s power. Thoughts that come flying through your head today will likely go flying right out of your mouth, without much censorship! Heavy mental activity and messengers will be about important matters since this occurs with the Full Moon in your harmonic sign, Leo. Expect issues to come to a head, and be resolved. Pace yourself, for the next 26 days are fast and sweet when Venus moves into Aries at 10:01 PM, PST. More on this tomorrow.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Be very kind to yourself today. The Leo Full Moon at 1:54 PM, PST will be in stress aspect to Taurus, meaning you’ll have some “crisis” that tests the validity of something you’re working on. Challenges are coming from something that you set in motion about three months ago. Expect to have lots of conversations with lots of people, perhaps about your challenge, but probably about their own concerns. Messenger Mercury is in full-on combustion. Try some enlightened selfishness, and gear the talk toward culminating projects that are before you now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Not that you need it, but you mind is super stimulated today. Some fast-paced messages are popping in and out of your head and your mouth. Talking will likely reveal solutions to problems that have been brewing for a month, since the last Full Moon. This is an important time of culmination when you’ll reap the rewards of what’s working, and let go of what’s not. The Full Moon at 1:54 PM, PDT, is in Leo-Aquarius, adding fire to your creativity and a cool refreshing breeze for your thoughts. Love is on your horizon when Venus moves into Aries tonight at 10:01 PM, PST--stay tuned tomorrow for more on this.

Cancer (June 21-July 21
When it comes to aligning your head with your heart, you have no problem! It’s your gut reactions (fear) that throw you into your shell, where you miss the fun! Today’s Leo Full Moon may have you questioning the sanity of many of your friends or family who have the tendency to overheat. This Moon has a flare for drama and your mission, should you chose to accept it, is to hold the homestead together through acceptance and love. Focus, but don’t withdraw. You have the goddess of love on your side. But Venus moves into fiery Aries at 10:01 PM, PST, so take advantage of her last day. Look at all the love she’s brought, including more compassion for yourself. (Hint: she likes to be thanked.)

Leo (July 22-August 22)
You can be a good judge today of whether or not the Lunar Effect actually effects you! Just minutes before the Leo Full Moon arrives (1:54 PM, PDT), the winged messenger planet Mercury gets in the game. He passes a ball of emotion your way. It hits your pre-frontal cortex and logic gets covered in feelings--probably from the past. This works to your benefit if you use it to bring something you need to say out in the open. All your messages, sending and receiving, are solar-powered. You may express yourself with more juice than you intend to, but you can get your point across very forcefully.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Venus has been pulling you into cooperation and empathy for the watery Piscean love that talks in poetry, sympathizes unconditionally, and never put organization first! They’re pretty much all forest, while Virgo is big on the trees. Venus has wanted you to love this Piscean part of yourself, which usually hides out in your “blind spot.” Tonight at 10:01 PM, PST, Venus moves on to Aries, where there will be a few irreconcilable differences. So take today to write your love. Do it under the courageous Leo Full Moon. Tell everyone how deeply connected you feel toward them.

Libra (September 23-October 22)
Something you’ve been working on all month will come to a successful conclusion under the power of today’s Full Moon in Leo at 1:54 PM, PDT. Messages will be flying faster than you can read them, and the data will carry some weight since it’s occurring on a Full Moon. The Messenger planet is precisely paired with the airy Aquarius Sun, which is a triple whammy of good news for Libra. If you need to get your point across to someone one, this is the time. More good news, in the romance department, arrives at 10:01 PM, PST, when the goddess of Love sails into passionate Aries. Stay tuned.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
The sweetest thing you’ve ever known, Venus in Pisces, is leaving tonight at 10:01 PM, PST, for the impetuous grounds of Aries. The past 25 days have blessed you with deeper, more compassionate and empathic love relationships. You can bet that anything new, or anything that shifted, was in your best interests. Even though it’s not your style, talk to those close to you and let them know you “see” them. The passionate energy of the Leo Full Moon will propel you to take a romantic risk. Put away the cloak and dagger and show your beautiful self.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 20)
The Leo Full Moon is an excellent boost to your courage, your creativity and your love of your family. The golden fire triangle of Sagittarius-Aries-Leo is activated and acts like a fan belt turning revving your engines. Watch for communications to come flying at you with a bit too much emotion, clouding your reason. Even so, you’re extraordinarily effective in selling your ideas. If you have something you need to get off your chest, do it early today, before your circuits get overloaded. Tonight it gets even hotter when Venus moves into Aries. Stay tuned tomorrow.

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
Make the most of the last day of Venus in your compatible sign, Pisces. She’s had great lessons in love to teach since January 14th. Exalted forms of artistic expression and carving a deeper well of compassion for your heart to tap into. Although the Leo Full Moon today is in air & fire signs, you duck any fallout of anxiety by just staying focused and keeping a hose on impetuous fires. This Moon offers a break from structured routines, and some breathing room. Communications are fast and full of energy from your humanitarian neighbor, Aquarius. It’s a day to just put one foot in front of the other. No running!

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
Sunshine’s on Aquarius today when the Leo Moon is in direct opposition to you at 1:54 PM, PDT. This Full Moon carries important news and events. It’s a time of high energy achievement for you. Full Moons are the harvest, the culmination of month-long efforts. It’s also natural time for something that’s not working to end. Since it’s from Leo, it will relate to matters of romance, creativity and children. Messenger Mercury is exactly paired with this Aquarius Sun, ensuring that you will be very involved in communications now, including calls and emails, but the biggest effect is your increased ability to get your point across. If there’s anyone in your life that needs convincing--call them now.

Pisces (February 18-March 19)
Today Venus finishes her stay in your sign. Spend some time looking back on all she’s brought you since January 14th. It’s wrapped in universal love, and deep empathy and the higher capacity to know how others feel. The Full Moon today is a closing out of the month, harvesting the rewards of projects that are working well for you, and letting go (your life long lesson!) of what no longer serves you. Messages will be traveling a light speed, so take notes to think about later. The pace is fast, and will be even quicker when Venus moves into Aries at 10:01 PM, PST.

*For your viewing pleasure, Moon rise is 5:55 PM, PST. Watch the sky directly opposite the setting Sun (5:40 PM, PST). Mercury will be traveling right next to the Aquarius Sun, but invisible.
