More Burning Man photos by Jim Urquhart here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Pisces Full Moon peaked Friday morning, just before the holiday weekend here in the United States. Saturday night was “the burn” at the Burning Man festival in Nevada, another peak of energy. The Moon is in Aries as of 1:37 am EDT Sunday, and made square to Pluto and a conjunction to Uranus between about 2 and 4 pm EDT, which also feels like a high-energy peak. At the moment, however, all of this is settling down.<\/p>\n

The Moon is in waning phase (heading for a New Moon in Virgo on Sept. 15). In the immediate vicinity are a series of aspects that might be from the ‘mixed emotions’ files — including forming a T-square with Venus and Saturn. Said another way, the Moon, Venus and Saturn are in a T configuration: Moon in Aries, Venus in Cancer and Saturn in Libra. This can have sobering feelings, well timed with not wanting to go back to work after the holiday weekend (if you got one).<\/p>\n

Though it’s also one of those aspects that’s about the need to be emotionally centered and conscious of what you consider a need. Without saying whether something is or isn’t a need, or defining the difference between a need and a desire, this particular aspect is saying focus on your needs. This is from both the Venus in a square to Saturn, and the Moon in a square to Venus; plus the two combined.<\/p>\n

When you consider the signs involved — the Moon in Aries (focus on self), Venus in Cancer (sentimental feelings) and Saturn in Libra (perceived limits on relationships) this is an aspect that might have the subtle or not so subtle feeling of being out in the cold. Aries Moon square Venus then opposite Saturn can feel like everyone else has what you want.<\/p>\n

That’s unlikely to be true, though the feeling does represent something, which may be that it’s time for you to put some extra energy into getting what you want, and by that, I mean what you really want on the emotional and closely related sexual level of feeling and experience. My astrological prompt for this is Mars in Scorpio, which is collecting all kinds of energy from Neptune and Chiron in early Pisces.<\/p>\n

If all this Moon-Venus-Saturn stuff feels a bit whiny, Mars-Chiron-Neptune is open, bold and sensual. Though note that these are characteristically male planets expressing themselves through feminine signs; there is a risk of vulnerability involved. Getting what you want is not so much a matter of it coming to you but of you taking advantage of an opening and going to, or for, it.<\/p>\n

I recognize that there are some people who like to think that’s not their style. There are too many risks, especially for those who prefer to be the ones who do all the rejecting.<\/p>\n

Since this is about taking the steps and going through the opening to get what you want, knowing what you want matters, as does being honest with yourself. But you might have to pass through a haze made of the feeling of not having, and it will be worth it. As ACIM suggests, “I am never upset for the reason I think” and the thing you think you want, or rather, the thing you think you’re missing, may not be what you want. So feel that one through, and maybe think it through, and make some choices. You still have time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
