Saturn in Pisces / Virgo Full Moon - Protection for the High Seas?

 

As I write the Moon is Full in Virgo, emphasizing the Virgo-Pisces axis. Within the hour, Saturn will ingress into the watery sign of Pisces and likely will already be there by the time you read this. 

We might expect that our seas will be in the news and indeed, yesterday the United Nations announced an historic agreement aimed at protecting marine diversity in international waters, those parts of the ocean known as the 'high seas.'

High seas, in maritime law, refers to all seas and oceans around the world that are not part of a nation's territory. By default, it is ocean without 'borders.' Of course, Pisces is about free flowing, open water and Saturn is all about borders. Saturn sailing through Pisces is going to be interesting. 

Here is more on that story, but before you go, check out the AOAUK's latest podcast where Rod, Marcus and myself, discuss today's Full Moon and Saturn in Pisces, where we predict (figuratively), a sea change (the video is below). 

By the way, our channel only needs 11 more subscribers to reach 1000, so we would love it if you helped us reach that milestone number.

But before you do that, a reminder that I'm currently offering discounts and lovely extra bonuses on personal astrology consultations  

Here's a testimonial from a recent client:

"It was my first astrology session and I did not know what to expect but Mandi was really helpful and explained everything in an easy way. She has answered all my questions and was very understanding when I shared my personal issues.  The session was super interesting and I took a lot from the discussion that will be useful for the future. I would recommend Mandi to anyone."

Love and Full Moon Blessings, 

Mandi

Pisces New Moon - Surrender and Acceptance

Here in London we are being treated to beautiful morning mists which give way to gorgeous late winter sunshine. It's perfect weather for the season and for being in nature. Signs of spring are on their way. A bunch of pink crocuses have come up in my garden, their petals opening and closing with the sun. A single snowdrop has joined them.

Just over a year ago I adopted a very gentle cat. His name is Misty and yes, he loves the morning mist. His name came to me in a dream and then I was guided to my local cat shelter. A week later we brought Misty home. It was meant to be and together we have healed each other - him from the trauma of losing his former home and me from the grief of losing my beloved cat Milton.

I've been on a very Piscean journey these last few years, with several years of Neptune in Pisces transits to my mutable planets and points. There has been much loss and a long illness, but also a complete re-set of my life and my purpose. As a Capricorn Sun, letting go of the need to be productive and hard working, to control outcomes and to have a plan, was difficult. In the end the universe gave me no choice but to surrender to and accept what is, with the side effect of letting go of a lot of the grief, fear and anger I was barely aware I was holding. 

Eventually, a strong sense began to come through that divine guidance has been supporting me all along and trying to point me in the right direction. Which is not to say I am in any way special, because this is available to all of us. In my case, I just wasn't listening for a long time, or perhaps didn't given myself the space to hear it. 

It became easier when my secondary progressed Sun moved into Pisces, closely followed by my secondary progressed Moon in Pisces, my progressed New Moon. Which brings me to the upcoming Pisces New Moon on February 20. Perhaps part of the message of this New Moon is to look for where we might need more acceptance in our life, to accept that we can't control everything and might be better to go with the flow for a while.

A couple of weeks ago, I got together with the AOAUK team and we discussed the Pisces New Moon as well as the current transits around it. The link is below.

Very recently, I was guided towards healing modalities and I listened, after hearing the message a number of times. I was attuned to Reiki level II in 2007, and Reiki level I around a year before that. It was finally time for me to take the next step and I recently completed level III and am now a certified Usui/Holy Fire Reiki® Master. It was such a wonderful, life and spirit enhancing experience. I will shortly be offering Reiki treatments and distance healing, so watch this space.

In the meantime, I have some exciting new astrology consultation offerings, with opening discounts and special bonuses. See here for details: Astrology Consultations with Mandi Lockley

As always, with love,

New Moon in Aquarius - Review your 2023 Resolutions!

Is it too late to wish you a Happy New Year? I think not, because January 21 brings the first New Moon of the year, which to me, is the 'real' start of the year because New Moons are the start of a new Moon cycle and a time for reflecting and setting intentions. 

So, this New Moon (the Lunar New Year in Asia) is a much better time to make any new year resolutions, or review the ones you made on January 1. Especially so, because on the first of the year both Mercury and Mars were Retrograde and by the time of this New Moon, Mars is Direct and Mercury is stationing Direct. Both are still moving slowly, but at least making forward progress and so can you.

In my most recent podcast with Rod Chang for the Academy of Astrology, we discuss this, along with our thoughts, feelings and suggestions about the major transits that accompany this New Moon. 

Scroll through to 22 minutes in for the New Moon content.

FYI, in Chinese Astrology, on January 22, we move into the sign of Rabbit, which stands for longevity, peace, and prosperity. And for this year, hope. It's predicted to be lucky for those born under the sign of the Ox, Tiger and Snake in particular.
