What exactly is a Full “Crow” Moon, you might be wondering? The Native Peoples gave it this name to denote the last Full Moon prior to the Spring Equinox (March 20), as the cawing of the crows alerted them to the end of winter. Interestingly, in many cultures still today, the crow is associated with omens, protection, birth, magic, secretiveness, and sacrifice — all of which are symbolic of crow’s deep black color. Believed to be a messenger between realms, crows have great importance in Vedic Astrology.
This Full “Crow” Moon occurs in the sign of Virgo — purification and integration of body, mind, and spirit. Virgo is also a Earth sign, signifying a special affinity for all things related to our planet. She’s often depicted holding a staff of wheat, emphasizing the sacredness of Earth’s bounty. The word Virgo is Latin for virgin, which means “whole and pure within oneself.” Therefore, whenever Virgo is highlighted, an increased motivation for improvement and refinement will occur.
Full Moons occur when the Moon moves into an opposition to and reflects the light of the Sun — in this case, Pisces. When Virgo and/or Pisces is highlighted in your horoscope or in the heavens as they are under this Full Moon, you will want to give special attention to how you’ve been caring for your body, mental constructs, and spiritual practice. If any one of these areas is ignored, an unconscious personal crisis might occur in order to get your attention.
Pisces is the sign that envisions our dreams and desires into reality. With this potent Virgo Full Moon opposite the Sun in Pisces you can intend to identify your imaginative dream world and integrate it with the down-to-Earth reality of Virgo — unifying spirit and matter. Encourage your Piscean inspirations and dreams! Embrace the Virgo integration of your body, mind, and spirit! Celebrate your contribution to the magnificent blossoming and awakening that is occurring during this time in your individual evolution.
Let this Full Moon inspire you to become more organized and meticulous with the details of your life. Use Virgo’s talent for analytical thinking and discrimination to generate new ventures that align with your desires. These qualities are especially helpful if you want to enhance or change your daily work routine. Pay attention to your personal nutritional requirements, thought processes, and spiritual needs. If any one of these essential areas is out of balance in your life, this Full Moon is the time to set goals for improvement.
With their often loud squawking, Crows are constantly reminding
us of the creation and magic that is available everyday. Let them
help you shapeshift your life — call upon crow to assist with
your intentions under this Full Moon and expect magic!
Virgo Key Words: Analyze, Discriminate, Daily Work, Vocation, Diet, Purification, Overall Health, Mental Constructs, Spirituality.
Body: intestines, nervous system, hands and feet.

Dare to dream!
If you did not have the capability to make your
wildest wishes come true, your mind would not have the capacity
to conjure such ideas in the first place. — Anthon St. Maarten
The second New Moon of 2021 is falling in the liberating sign of Aquarius making a total of six planets in the sign of the Water Bearer — wow — that’s a lot of Aquarian energy! Interestingly, this lunation is also the cause of the 2021 Chinese New Year celebration — the Year of the Ox. Known for diligence and dependability, Ox’s have a strong and determined nature. They are often stubborn and politically minded.
Chinese New Year and the Ox aside, Aquarius is the celestial sign that bestows the universal cosmic waters onto humankind and our planet. Although Aquarius is an air sign, it is known as The Water Bearer and this connection through the healing element of water symbolizes an ability for the celestial guardian to spread cosmic gifts of giving and restoring life to humanity.
As you may remember, the New Moon, is a time for renewed hope, rebirth of creativity, and a time to begin new projects. It is the best time of the month to assert positive affirmations, chants, and visualizations. It is an optimal time for hope and support for those seeking freedom. It grants courage, fortitude, and strength on our quest for liberation: spiritual, emotional, or mental.
Aquarius is the zodiac sign associated with revolutionary change. It seeks to restructure any outdated constructs in an effort to create a more just world for all. Aquarius dreams of a world where all people and sentient beings are honored and treated with respect for their unique contributions to the whole. It is the sign that seeks to improve conditions for all Earthly inhabitants by investing time and energy to mobilize large groups, affect politics, and utilize futuristic innovations to evoke transformation.
Along with the planets — Mercury, Venus, the Moon and Sun — Saturn is also in the sign of Aquarius. And, for the next several years, Aquarius’s ruling planet, Uranus, is transiting through Taurus — the sign that is associated with resources and security. These two planets (Saturn and Uranus) are currently creating a disruptive aspect that highlights radical change in both our personal lives and our collective political arenas. These much needed changes can bring about deep insecurities. However, if we embrace our impulses to grow, we will creatively manifest powerful shifts and a new sense of vitality.
Therefore, this New Moon, which is in effect through Sunday, is a wonderful opportunity to take inventory of what you can do right now to create unprecedented change and transformation in your life:
– What are your hopes, wishes, and dreams?
– What is it that you need to discard so you can embrace these desires and
manifest a new reality?
– How may you serve others using your unique talents to make the world a
better place?
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius,
power, and magic in it. Begin it now. — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Dec. 17, 2020 – Mar. 8, 2023
Note: During 2020 Saturn moved into Aquarius for three+ months
(March 21 – July 1) before retrograding back into Capricorn until Dec. 16.
The planet Saturn begins its journey through your Astrological horoscope at the moment of your birth. Its complete cycle through the zodiac and the 12 houses of your Astrological chart takes roughly 29 years. The Saturn Return occurs when Saturn passes through the sign it was in at the time of your birth and will be in effect for approximately two-and-a-half years. You will likely experience the Saturn Return at least twice in your life, typically around age 28–30 and again at 58–60. If you were born during 1992–95 or 1962–64 you were born with Saturn in Aquarius and are currently experiencing your first or second Saturn Return.
When Saturn returns to its natal position in your chart you will undergo one of the most intense maturation periods of your life. In general, Saturn Returns are precursors to strong and sometimes painful yearnings for change. During this period you will be divinely guided to relinquish anything in your life that does not support your future life goals and purpose. You may find yourself feeling compelled to prioritize your objectives and activities so you can make the best use of your abilities for the next 29.5 years.
This can be a very stressful and trying time because the security of the past is familiar and safe, whereas the future is still unformed and therefore uncertain. Among many things, Saturn represents karma, responsibility, and accountability. This will be a critical period requiring you to act with extreme integrity.
The Saturn Return brings about endings and new beginnings. The universe will unveil unhealthy and incongruent living and working conditions that can no longer be tolerated. This recognition can bring about enormous change, which may at times feel completely out of your control.
If you resist your personal nature and desires during your Saturn Return, the next 29.5 years could cause distress. If you willingly embrace Saturn’s courageous force then the transformation you make during this period can bring long-term stability and future security.

The Birthing of a New Cycle
January 12, 2020
22°46′ Capricorn
The impending rendezvous between the two game-changing planets, Saturn and Pluto, has intensified over the past two years. It’s important to note that the last time Saturn met up with Pluto in the sign of Capricorn was over 500 years ago. During that crucial period, humanity underwent great change. There was religious upheaval, groundbreaking scientific findings, and the discovery of new astronomical bodies. As we embark on the current Saturn–Pluto cycle, we are witnessing the birthing of a new era of evolution on our planet, during which, humanity stands at the precipice of catastrophic global challenges. Are we ready? Many life-changing and life-saving discoveries are occurring daily — will they be enough?
The planet Saturn represents structure in all its forms, particularly in relationship to social political and religious establishments. When Saturn is operating from a state of balance, we govern from a fair, responsible, and ethical place. We are accountable for our actions and seek to learn from our past. We recognize that all of Earth’s life forms are intricately connected and that one cannot thrive without the other. We maintain a dignified respect and reverence for differences and seek to build supportive structures and alliances, which are open to periodic change when it’s necessary for the growth, welfare, and evolution of all.
When Saturn is out-of-balance it becomes controlling. Control is essentially based on intense fear (a Saturn word!) of losing control. If this occurs, life and societies can become stagnated and crystallized. Those who govern will seek to control, usurping life from others so they can remain in power. They don’t take responsibility for their actions and prey on others’ weaknesses.
Saturn is associated with restructuring that which no longer serves the greater whole. This need will occur in our personal as well as our collective lives. If an area of our life, has outgrown its purpose and is no longer fulfilling our higher wellbeing, it is time to embrace change so something better can replace it. Letting go and accepting change is applicable not only to our personal lives, but also the social-political spheres.
Pluto is the planet that is associated with power and transformation. When we feel disempowered, the process of becoming empowered is amazingly transformative, for us personally, as well as others. When Pluto acts from a place of balance it can transmute energy into something that supports strength and holistic wellbeing. Therefore, Pluto can be likened to the practice of shamanism: The ability to transverse the underworld and face the demons and shadows wreaking havoc, so we can bring harmony to the dark-and-light aspects of our inner-and-outer worlds. When Pluto is involved, it’s imperative that we face our innermost demons so we can transform. Otherwise, and often without our cooperation, a cataclysmic episode may occur in order to bring about any intended and necessary change.
With Saturn’s approaching conjunction to Pluto, we are realizing what needs to change in our personal lives and even in governments, both at home and abroad. Despite an unknown future, we are being called to act responsibly and to commit to personal empowerment and transformation — to remain hopeful instead of fearful.
