Good news, readers:
Maybe - just maybe - the energetic tensions are letting up a bit... kind
of... sort of... almost... Or
maybe we’re just settling into the tension, getting comfy with the
discomfort. Perception being
relative, it’s difficult to know.
This, however, is certain: as we approach an Aquarius full
moon, it’s a good idea to remember that perception is indeed relative. Yes, you’re a brilliant point of light,
& your way of seeing things is a valid & unique truth, but that doesn’t
make it the only truth... unless of course you’re the author of an astrology
blog (ha, ha).
Get out, & have a good time on this full moon
night. Let off some steam with
others in playful & creative ways.
Mars has been stirring up anger, resentment, impatience, violence &
trouble by applying tension to that longterm Pluto/Uranus square, & this
full moon is the perfect opportunity to channel that energy into a positive,
creative, community-building experience.
This full moon, aligned with retrograding Mercury & enhancing that
Pluto/Uranus square, offers opportunities for learning something deep, hidden
& potentially eruptive about yourself, so keep your ego in check & pay
attention! See homework below for
more clues...
The full moon chart shows Mars moving from one activating
position to another - he’s approaching a conjunction with Saturn. This means it’s time to put the pedal
to the metal in any projects & relationships you’ve been developing since
autumn of 2009 & summer of 2010.
By October, when Saturn moves into Scorpio, relationships, relationship
patterns, personal belief systems about relationships, & any projects that
have been major foci in the past 2-3 years will come to a conclusion or turning
point. I’ll be teaching some
Saturn workshops in & around the Pacific Northwest in October. Contact me for details, or if you’d
like to buy the T-shirt: Saturn tour, 2012! That is a joke, & perhaps not a very good one. What can I say? I was possessed by the exuberance of the
Sun in Leo.
Your two threads of homework for this full moon:
Which relationships & projects have I put the most
effort into since autumn ’09 & summer ’10? Do I need to let any of these people or projects go? How can I commit more deeply to those
people & projects that continue to hold meaning & promise? How can I evolve my own beliefs &
perceptions so that I can be in right relationship with others? Are there any instances in which I’m
putting all the blame on someone else?
How can I own & therefore empower myself so that I can shift my course
in relationships? What limits do I
need to accept in my current relationships so that I can activate the actual
potential inherent in those relationships?
How can I express myself authentically to my community or
beyond into humanity? Who is the
right audience for my expressions?
What do I really want to create & communicate, & what is truly
possible in the time I have on this Earth in this particular body? How can I increase my capacity for
experiencing & inspiring joy?
How can I shift my mentality so that I spread love & quell my
tendencies towards judgment?
Perhaps those were ropes more than threads of homework. Moving right along...
About a week later, Venus enters Cancer & Mercury
stations direct. Venus offers
opportunities to nurture family relationships & build trust in your other
relationships through the first week of September. Also during that time period, artists will have more ability
to heal themselves & others through channeling deeply felt emotions through
their respective media.
As for Mercury, remember it’ll be another week before he
gets back up to speed, so don’t expect things to run smoothly until around
August 15th, when Venus moves into a T-square relationship with Pluto &
Uranus, & both the Moon & Mars conjunct Saturn. So much for things running smoothly. Even if you do not identify yourself as
an artist, you will be greatly helped if you take up pen, crayon, paintbrush,
voice, tambourine, or dancing slippers, & let yourself express - &
therefore make known - any buried fears & insecurities that will otherwise
erupt in destructive ways, & probably at the wrong people. If the truth is avoided, power &
authority will be misused. If
hidden truths (fears & desires) are faced, however, this configuration
offers profound healing & transformation.
These questions may help you navigate mid-August with a bit
more grace:
How is fear affecting my ability to relate with others? What desires am I hiding from
myself? How can I evolve desires
I’ve held in my subconscious since childhood that confuse my actions as an
adult? In other words, take an
honest look at your mommy issues, your daddy issues, your sexuality, & your
hunger for power & being in the limelight, & how all of these issues
interlock.
Disturbing stuff, I know. The truth is we all have shadows, & if we pretend we
don’t then we do bad things & allow bad things to happen to us. If we know & accept our shadows,
then we can utilize them in profound & healing ways.
If you need help locating & dealing with the skeletons
in your closet, schedule an in-person or over-the-phone astrology consultation
with me, come see me for an Alithesis session, begin a mentorship with me, or
work with any of these other fine practitioners.
