The March 12th Full Moon in Virgo (22 degrees) will be exacting.

The Pisces Sun conjoins Pallas and Chiron, casting light on the wound, plus healing strategies (Pallas). The Virgo Moon will indicate the solution or improvement that addresses the issue. As described in this week’s horoscopes, information pertaining to this Moon will start to trickle in around March 6th, when the Sun conjoins Mercury. As Mercury goes on to meet Chiron and Pallas (March 10th) more details about what hurts, and what you can do about it, will emerge. 

So far, so good. The kicker will be an exact square from Saturn in Sagittarius to Mercury (ruler of this Moon) in Pisces, on March 12th (27 degrees). The vague idea or unproven solution will not be good enough. You will have to prove it. Or, you may have to sift through the extras until you narrow it down to just one. Virgo means precision, and Saturn square Mercury formally defines and limits an idea. Standards will be high, and analysis will be a huge part of the results. Nothing will be communicated casually. This could be an official declaration, that leaves zero room for compromise. 

You may doubt the results, or worry about your ability to deliver. A Saturn square does not instil confidence, and as far as Virgo is concerned, nothing is good enough. But you can use this friction to your advantage. Ensure that what you’re saying/writing is top quality, and absolutely true. You’ll have to take your game to the next level – no half-assed efforts or omissions allowed. But if you can meet Saturn’s challenge with focused intent, while taking full responsibility for your words, you could net some impressive results. And if you get unpleasant news, you’ll know exactly what to fix. 

This Moon does trine Pluto in Capricorn (19 degrees) so there’s your support: power from an ongoing transformation. What’s happening around 19 degrees Capricorn in your chart? That’s where you can dig in to find the resilience and deep commitment needed to meet Virgo’s standards. 

This lunation also features two, sticky inconjuncts:

1. Jupiter Rx in Libra (21 degrees) makes an inconjunct to the Sun, amplifying illusions and expectations. The big hope will be out of alignment with what’s actually going to happen.

2. Uranus in Aries (22 degrees) makes an inconjunct to the Moon, jarring the need for precision, with urgency. It may feel like an emergency, with results expected ASAP. But you can’t rush the analysis. There may be a push to break some rules/take some short cuts. You just can’t, especially with a Saturn square in the works. You will have to deliver results (Uranus won’t allow you to wait) but you’ll have to do it carefully. 

Not a mellow Moon, for sure. But, when confronted with strict Virgo/Saturn, you have to rise to the occasion. Keep your eye on the problem, take note of the solution, and do what needs to be done.
