Dancing your prayers

All Full Moon’s are a finely tuned dance of yin and yang. Today the yin Moon in Virgo is opposite the yang Sun in Pisces, carrying the tension between honoring your inner being while engaging in relationships in the outer world.

Virgo Moon is all about health and healing the body, and doing it with organized precision. The opposite pull is the Pisces Sun, enveloped in an artistic dream world of self-forgetting.

Compatible opposites? Virgo adds practicality to Pisces’ dreams. Pisces inspires Virgo to dance. She buys the right shoes, he supplies the music. Together, they create healing prayers that spiral through them like whirling dervishes.

The Force of dancing is with you.

Aries (March 20-April 19)
Your inner being relies on being well fed, both nutritionally and emotionally. Diet is very important to you under this Virgo Moon. You understand the sublime alchemy of the “taste” of emotions, as seen in Like Water for Chocolate. Your yang energy challenge with today’s Full Moon is to notice where your actions do not match your conscious intentions, and pull out the hidden, old conditioning. Today is step-by-step, not your favorite speed!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
By the light of this healing Full Moon in Virgo you feel very nurturing and deeply emotional about your loved ones--perfect yin energy. Your inner being is ready to say, “have a good look, this is who I am!” Front and center stage where others can enjoy seeing you glow. The yang energy of the Pisces Sun calls you to cooperative work with groups, for that is where you shine right now. Watch your interactions with others, noticing how you fulfill each other’s needs. This is not a time to go off on your own, nor to spend time alone. Be a groupie!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today’s Full Virgo Moon is affecting your whole emotional outlook. Your inner being is strongly tied to the happiness you derive from family. Your nurturing yin energy is spreading its wings protectively over those you love.

You put your inner well being first, and ambition will serve, not dominate, you choice.

Cancer (June 21-July 21)

There is good fortune ahead from the goddess of love around March 14th. You have every reason to be optimistic and thinking expansively.

Leo (July 22-August 22)
Under today’s Full Virgo Moon your yin energy wants to be surrounded by the familiar, the meaningful objects that speak about your life values. Think of it as a values clarification exercise for your inner being. What is important to you? The yang element from the opposing Pisces Sun encourages you to experience life on a feeling level--out of your head and into your heart. Your head may worry about taxes, but your heart knows those “values” hold no meaning.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
You are very much in step with yourself, with your loved ones, and with this Full Virgo Moon today. You are “right there” for others, with that healthy Virgo healing hand. Your inner being wants to belong. The yang energy of the Pisces Sun is directed to making and nourishing partnerships. This is not a time to go it alone. It’s a time of union and joining.

Libra (September 23-October 22)
The light from today’s Full Virgo Moon shines on your intuitive gifts. Your inner being (yin) wants you to exorcise your fears and trust your intuition. Repeat often--I am lovable just as I am. The yang solar energy of the Pisces Sun is spotlighting your work, suggesting you postpone immediate rewards in favor of buckling down more efficiently to the tasks at hand. It’s not a glamorous Full Moon, but one that can build a solid footing. Tomorrow the Moon sails into Libra at 8:50 PM, PST. You will feel more balance and grace. Stay tuned.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
You will feel your love and your need for friendships very strongly under the light of today’s Full Virgo Moon. Your inner being is emotionally satisfied when you touch or are touched by a friend. The yang energy of the Pisces Sun is simply full of happiness to see you express yourself freely! Today you set your own priorities, and do what you want to do. If you have a friend to do it with, you will be fulfilling the mission of this Full Moon completely.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 20)
Under the light of today’s Full Moon in Virgo your inner being (yin) is in complete openness, like the lovely lotus unfolding. You are more empathic than usual, with an intuitive sympathy toward others who naturally gravitate toward you. Your solar yang energy from the Pisces Sun suggests taking time away to meditate. You want to let the past go, however by not looking at it, it is preserved. You can learn an enormous amount about your psyche if you talk things through with a sympathetic friend today.

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
This is a powerfully helpful Full Moon for you, even with your lack of tolerance for dull routines--restless leg syndrome! Your yin energy under Virgo’s influence naturally inclines you to the comfortable and familiar, at the same time encouraging you to explore new worlds. You feel emotionally generous and imaginative. The yang solar energy of the Pisces Sun is encouraging you to listen, rather than pour out this solar powered forcefulness without taking anything in. The tempo of your life is cranked up several notches.

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
The yin energy of the Full Virgo Moon is heightening your psychic sensitivities. You just “know” things, which contributes to making your encounters with others more powerful and emotionally intense today. The yang solar-power of the Pisces Sun asks you to examine your resources and possessions, asking whether or not they serve you. You will also stand up in defense of your values. What contributes to your happiness? That’s worth keeping.

Pisces (February 18-March 19)
The Full Virgo Moon today is shining her spotlight on your marriage and partnerships. They will feel much more important to you, and the security they bring satisfies the deepest longings of your inner being. The yang energy of the Pisces Sun opposing the Moon encourages you to have an “enlightened selfishness.” You’ll profit from spending some quiet time today asking yourself, “What do I really want?” This is a subjective outlook, which you need now. Just for a day, put yourself first.
