Intuitive Message for the Pisces Full Moon:
Hand Over Your Burdens to Your Soul
by Julia Bondi

Overwhelmed, over stressed, overworked, overextended… these and many more words beginning with "over" dominate our modern thinking, discussion and reality. Our world has too many problems, too little cooperation to solve these problems, too much fear and too little hope. How will we ever get everything done that needs doing? How will we heal our partisan bickering, rebuild our job market, fund everything that needs funding and be civil with one another? The litany of questions, concerns and problems is long, the way forward is unclear. Despair is growing.

After 40 years of the outer planets in Sagittarius, everything is bigger, but not always better. At this full moon, the Sun in Virgo reminds us that small is right, simple is right, a step forward is right, today is the day to begin. Rediscovering small is crucial to resolving our modern dilemmas. Rediscovering "right" is the first step. The archetype of Virgo celebrates "right" as the way. It is time to "get right" with ourselves, our lives and our world. It is time to do the "right thing", to slow down and look around.

The Buddha stopped all that he was doing to become enlightened. He stopped all the rigors of struggle and seeking. He sat, he opened and he trustingly waited to receive. Enlightenment came to him; he did not go out and get enlightenment. He invited enlightenment to come to him, created the moment to receive it and embraced it. The Buddha’s life is a story of many archetypes; his way is the way of Virgo simplicity.

At the Pisces full moon it is time to put down our schedules, our problems, even our anxieties. It is time to listen to the archetype of Pisces whispering inspiration to us. Only in the peace of Pisces' inner quiet, inner listening can we begin to hear the guidance we are constantly being given, feel the embrace of our spirit and the spirit of life itself. This is where the answers are, where the potential is, where we will find renewal.

The story of the prodigal son who has lost his way is a metaphor for the Virgo in all of us who have erred, lost our way, made mistakes, need assistance, are near despair. Only when the prodigal son returns home to be received by his family, to be forgiven, to be cared for and accepted back into the fold does he find solace, find himself and begin his life again. Our spirit is our true home where forgiveness waits, where love waits, where guidance and inspiration wait, where we can let go of our Virgo burdens.At this full moon of Virgo/Pisces we once again have the opportunity to hand over our burdens to our soul, to go home to our soul, to rest inside and find our way again.
