Mercury, the Lord of the eclipse, is traveling retrograde in Pisces, Virgo‘s opposite sign, indicating, as does the north node in Pisces, the final sign of the zodiac, that the highest purpose of this eclipse is to illuminate what needs to be released, revised or reconnected with. The Full Virgo Moon and Pisces planets are receiving support from Jupiter retrograde in maternal Cancer, echoing the need for some major recalibrations on the home and family fronts. It is time for an epic karmic re set that will allow us to move into new emerging dreams and visions. Saturn and Neptune in forward thinking Aries, are marching forward to a bright new tomorrow, as the Pisces planets invite us to release what is standing in the way. The weeks following this eclipse will be wonderful for all forms of release, purification and re-organizing, to prepare for forward movement in the spring. For today, increase meditation, and be of service, both are acts of purification that clear the way.
