VIRGO FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE MARCH 14 & MERCURY RETROGRADE MARCH 15: REALITY CANNOT BE IGNORED!

Astrologically Speaking with Sheri

https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking LISTEN TO SHERI HORN HASAN’S NEW PODCAST which drops today, March 14! This Virgo Full Moon lunar eclipse opposing Saturn, the Sun, & Neptune—all in Pisces—reminds them that numbers don’t lie and that you cannot ignore, or hide, or “disappear” the facts!
Mercury’s Virgo’s about analysis and the Virgo archetype has a strong affinity for numbers, often as in dollars and cents. When we look at what’s going on now in the U.S.--with an algorithm system having been given more credence than quality of life--we can see what kind of mess the U.S. is in right now. As jobs & services—particularly those related to health & human services--“disappear,” the Virgo Moon reminds the Pisces Sun that facts DO matter when it comes to quality of life.
In essence, the Virgo Mon reminds the Pisces Sun—gathered together with rigid Saturn & often confused Neptune—of two things: 1. That you cannot ignore facts or make them up to fit your wishful thinking (or delusional) plan; & 2. That it’s time to ground this plan in reality using a strictly analytical “just the facts, ma’m” methodology.
However, this is not what is happening now as the U.S. governmental foundations implode under their own weight and the balance of democracy itself weighs in the balance. While everyone seems to agree that Virgoan efficiency is necessary to cut out waste & fraud, no one seems to have derived the proper methodology to calculate the correct numbers and to create a viable plan that doesn’t shock everyone into a rebellious stance.
Let’s not forget that Mercury's Virgo rules the 6th House in what’s known as the natural chart in western tropical astrology. And the 6th House rules service, health, & work, in terms of what we do on a daily basis. The Virgo Moon at this lunar eclipse reminds the Pisces Sun & his friends Saturn & Neptune that you cannot simply fire people en masse with little notice & zero compassion and expect a positive response.
There is an irony at this lunar eclipse, however, which is that the Virgo Moon conjoins the Virgo SN at this lunation, which means it’s opposing not only the Sun, Saturn, & Neptune now, but the Pisces North Node as well. And in evolutionary astrology, we are to move away from the shadow side of Virgo energy & toward the more empathetic spiritually healing energy for which Neptune-ruled Pisces is known.
As evolutionary astrologer Steven Forrest put it in his recent newsletter: “…the south node of the Moon represents the gravity of old habits which are holding us back, while the north node symbolizes the remedy that can liberate us...Right now,” he continues, “the bottom line is that we are all collectively beginning to experience the pressure of any unresolved “Virgo karma” we may be holding onto--and hopefully looking to Pisces for some answers, resolutions, and a new direction.”
But the U.S is experiencing now its already triggered Pluto return, which means we’re in the process of evolving, though no one knows yet what this nation will evolve into. And right now we’re at the beginning of a fight against the extinction of democracy as we’ve known it these past 250 years. With Pluto now transiting through Uranus-ruled Aquarius—both planets & sign representative of social upheaval—these next few years are not going to happen without a struggle to evolve. Why? In order to survive.
What we know right now, according to traditional astrologer Bernadette Brady in her “Predictive Astrology” book, is that the theme of this series of eclipses—both this lunar eclipse now at 23’57” Virgo and the upcoming 9-degree Aries solar eclipse on March 29—is that they both involve physical change.
We also know, as per astrologer Ronnie Dreyer, that the energy of the current lunar eclipse will be prevalent at least until the transiting nodal axis hits the 23’57” Virgo degree mark, circa early June. AND that, because the transiting nodal axis already hit 9-degrees Ares circa July 22, 2024, we’ve been dealing with this upcoming eclipse’s energies since then.
Find out more about these eclipses and how the Virgo Full Moon lunar eclipse falls in the U.S. Sibly birth chart’s 9th House of higher education & the 3rd House of elementary learning as the unelected billionaire Elon Musk & his sidekick President Trump seek to destroy the Department of Education now.
And that’s occurring as Mercury stations retrograde in Mars-ruled Aries March 15-April 7 (where he joins Venus retrograde in the same sign now.) The Virgo Moon’s position in the U.S. 9th House of higher education, law, immigration, & religion at this lunation, along with Mercury’s retrograde in the Sibly’s 4th House where he joins Venus retrograde there augurs an ongoing & upcoming review of whether current policies protect our families—or harm them.
This lunation is already giving rise to judicial reviews of 119 lawsuits filed against the government’s current layoff mandates ordered under Musk’s DOGE & the damaging off-and-on-again tariffs ordered by President Trump, and more. And given the current recession territory now entered into by the stock market--along with the attempt to deprive a green card holder of the rights to which he is entitled under long-established U.S. law, well, let’s just say there’s a lot of Astro News You Can Use goin’ on right now!

And how, if that’s not a recipe for revolution…well…tune in for more! Namaste…
