This has not been your garden variety full moon. Rising in Virgo there was high likelihood of forces grounding us for good, anchoring us to home and hearth. Instead the lead up to this full moon just peaked was an extended player in whose strange grasp (thank you tail end of Aquaria) we found ourselves jolted. Tales of unexpected news, sudden changes in circumstances forcing us to move from the comfortable place we have been occupying, all manner of left field tangents and hidden truths bubbling to the surface.

She has certainly been a revealer this cycle as her blazing gaze demonstrated precisely how we respond to shocks to our system. Learning to manage your panic, waiting and watching for the story to play out is a ridiculously handy life skill. Finding meaning in the inconvenience of the eye of the storm even moreso. And how do we learn best? By doing. This is the very real practice of our life.

From this point forth we may do well to anticipate further rumbling as our first eclipse season begins to yawn and stretch in front of us. Use the laser focus of the Virgo lunation to cut through the drama and sift meaning as you deftly stop, drop and roll. It is only once the dust has settled and the aftershocks have ceased that we can see with any degree of clarity. In hindsight the path always weaves and we craft uncommon sense from the trickiest of tangents and the most debilitating wallops.

Until that time, sipping cocktails at sunset recounting your tales of woe that end with a laugh and a wink, write your story well. And for the love of the green goddess, keep your feet firmly on the ground.
