In the Vortex of Change

March 7, 2020 Super Full Moon in Libra at 9:35 PM CST

The Super Full Moon on Tuesday, March 7, 2020 will be very powerful, adding to the monumental energies we have already experienced this year. This will be the largest Super Full Moon of 2020, when the moon will be the closest to the earth of any full moon this year.

Two powerful planets, aggressive Mars paired up with serious and restrictive Saturn are both squaring unstable Uranus. Look for big explosive, restrictive and unexpected events. In addition, the Full Moon squares the very strong Jupiter Pluto conjunction. This lineup of heavy hitter planets together with the biggest Super Full Moon of the year results in big energy and big emotion!

Full Moons are about our emotions and around the world people are feeling anger, grief, despair, confusion, uncertainty and depression; some are hopeless and see no path forward out of their great loss. Thankfully we are now getting a few breaths of Aquarius energy which will lighten our experience, bring hope and more positivity.

The Full Moon in Libra calls for emotional balance, harmony and justice and is exactly opposite the Sun in warlike Aries. There is a push pull between the need to calm the emotions, represented by the Moon, and the desire for courageous action, represented by the Sun.

As mentioned earlier, this Full Moon squares the powerful Jupiter Pluto conjunction, releasing more energy for big and permanent change.

Jupiter and Pluto are conjunct three times this year at about the same location in Capricorn, most recently on April 4 and in the future on June 30 and November 12. Pluto represents the power behind the power, and can result in often painful transformation, and the dredging up of secrets that must be brought out into the light of day. Jupiter brings expansion and the desire for freedom and truth. Jupiter is the Great Benefic, ultimately providing protection against the ruthless but necessary transformation of the Great Malefic, Pluto.

Thankfully both Mars and Saturn are now in humanitarian Aquarius, making us think more about each other and what is best for all. There is a yearning for freedom and justice that comes with Aquarius as well as a desire to build and a vision for the future.

It is important to note that Mars, the Moon and Mercury often act as triggers for world events. With Mars square Uranus we could see aggression and rebellion, especially against any type of tyranny. Uranus always brings the unexpected and in Taurus can continue to shake up the earth as well as the financial world.

The Saturn Jupiter conjunction in January seems to have initiated this tsunami of big change we have been experiencing. Saturn Jupiter conjunctions often herald the falling of kings, especially those that enslave others.

The United States’ Chart and the Super Moon

Using the Sibley Chart for the United States, July 4, 1776 at 5:10 PM in Philadelphia, PA and looking at the transits of the SuperMoon on April 7, there are some interesting aspects to consider:

Transiting Moon is square natal Sun (the President and the government) and conjunct Natal Saturn (the elderly and conservatism) in Libra in the 10^th house – signals that Feelings are high and the President and the elderly want truth, harmony and justice.
Transiting Mercury (communication and commerce) opposes natal Neptune (socialism and drugs, poisons) in Virgo in the 9^th house (foreigners, legal system religious organizations) – communication about the pandemic and foreigners; the truth is obscured
Transiting Mars conjunct natal South Node in 2^nd house & oppose natal North Node in 8^th house– karma, something from the past must be released in order to move forward to lead from the heart, economy, social security and finances are being activated
Transiting Mars (Conflict, initiating energy) and Venus (arts, finances) are trine the Midheaven – positive energy for moving forward and finding peace and harmony
Transiting Saturn (elderly), Jupiter (Clergy, high courts) and Pluto (nuclear power, terrorism, upheaval of governments, powerful elite) oppose natal Mercury in 8^th house of national debt, mortality rates, insurance and social security and conjunct natal Pluto (2^nd house) – Issues around the elderly, involving the clergy and high courts and possible terrorist or power behind the power revelations. Secrets must come out. Economy should improve.
Transiting Uranus is over the 5^th house of the stock market and square to North Node (karma) but positive aspects to Venus and Jupiter – stock market will be erratic all year, expect unruly events

Conclusion

It is true that our world is already vastly different than it was just a few months ago. The year has just begun and the changes have just started. We are experiencing the beginning of the Great Awakening with Uranus (ruling Aquarius) shaking things up and snapping us out of our trances. We may feel confused, lost or afraid of the unknown that lies ahead. We are headed into a new way of being and we are now in the midst of the whirlwind of change.

It is important to pull up from the lower emotions and listen to the message of the Libra Full Moon. Find harmony, balance and center yourself during this transformative time. Just as the health care workers, truckers and others who are working hard to keep all of us going, you can do your part to help humanity by raising your consciousness through prayer, meditation and love. Walk in nature, appreciate your loved ones, listen to or create music. Participate in a group meditation or prayer chain – many are available online. Come out of fear into a place of harmony. As you do so, you raise the energy of the whole and provide a sense of calm and comfort for those who are suffering.

Update on the U.S. Economy and COVID-19

2020 will certainly be one of those years that goes down in history. If you are alive on planet earth, you have chosen to be here at this very disruptive yet transformative time. So relax the best you can, remain calm and make an effort to stay positive – try not to feed into the panic and negativity that is now whirling around these topics.

It continues to amaze me how accurately Astrology explains things, be it an individual, a country, a question or event. To quote Hermes, “As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul…”

Here are some fascinating indicators that reflect our current experience. I am using the Sibley Chart for the United States.

Money and the Stock Market – Transiting Uranus in Taurus (Taurus rules money and Uranus brings shake-ups) conjunct transiting Venus (money) over the United States’ 5^th house of speculation, stock market and the feelings of the public.
Karmic Events – Transiting Uranus and Venus are square the US Nodes (8^th house of death and 2^nd house of Money), signaling karmic events. The transiting Nodes (karma) are connecting to the US’ Venus (money and values) and Jupiter (expansion, for good or ill).
The Public – The transiting Moon (emotions) in Libra (justice) is passing over the 10^th house of the public and conjunct the US’ Saturn (restrictions, lessons and the aged).
Business, Money and Big Change – Four powerful planets (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto) are lined up in Capricorn (business, institutions and the aged) over the 2^nd house of the United States’ money. Transiting Saturn which brings restrictions and lessons along with transiting Pluto which brings powerful change and sometimes destruction are conjunct the United States’ Pluto. Saturn and Pluto move slowly, so this effect is in play for most of the year.

Need for Healing – Transiting Chiron (representing wounds) is going over the US’ 4^th house of the homeland.
Disease, Hysteria and Foreigners – Transiting Sun and Neptune in Pisces are conjunct and oppose the United States’ Neptune in Virgo bringing disease related to poisons, along with hysteria, delusion. In the 9^th house, this indicates foreigners and the country’s relationship with other countries.

Remain calm, strap in and get ready for a year-long ride through a quite tumultuous time. Use the higher octave of this Pisces energy to make and sustain a strong connection to your Divine Source. Remember, all of this change is necessary to prepare the way for new potential. This is the tilling of the soil which will nurture the new seeds of the future.

Super Full Moon on March 9, 2020 in Virgo

This Super Full Moon in Virgo is powerful and brings energy for healing and overcoming fears. The Full Moon opposes Neptune which is conjunct the Sun in Pisces. This can expose scandal and can increase deception, delusion and confusion. This is a Super Moon, meaning it is especially close to the earth and will be very bright in the night sky.

The Moon in Virgo is about healing yourself, emotionally and spiritually, as it aspects Neptune. It calls us to find peace in the midst of chaos.

Positively, Neptune rules spirituality, mysticism, inspiration and dreams. Negatively, it rules deception, delusion, addiction and treachery. It also rules poisons especially those coming from animals such as the Coronavirus which is now believed to have originated from bats, snakes or pangolins, and there are also rumors that it may have been created at a nearby Wuhan biotech lab.

Whatever the source of the virus, this Full Moon is likely to exacerbate fear and reveal new information about the Coronavirus now named the 2019-nCoV.

Meanwhile in the background, the ongoing conjunction of Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn from early January continues its serious year-long impact. This energy should result in major restructuring of old foundations, as secrets are dredged up into the light of day, tilling the fields for a new transformational time in the future. On an individual and personal level, this energetic lineup is urging us to take responsibility and make mature choices.

At this Full Moon, you may be more emotional than usual since Neptune is so heavily involved. Be aware that these emotions may go negative, showing up as paranoia and worry. However, beneficial Jupiter brings protection and a softening of the negative impact of Neptune’s shadow side. It is important to remember that sometimes Jupiter expands things (to our detriment), so we might see an increased spread of the virus or increased media attention and fear at this time.

What can I do?

Connect to your Divine inner guidance and practice heart-centered compassion for others always, and most especially during this time of great uncertainty while those around you may be fearful and lashing out. Choose love rather than hate. Remember that we are all connected in the One Source, we are just temporarily caught in the illusion of separateness. Pray for the highest good for all and you will find and expand peace.
