The Moon will be Full in Aquarius again this month, bringing a strong focus to the energy of this new age we have entered. It's a good time to take a look at the last month from that viewpoint to see how you are doing with integrating the new behaviours, concepts, perspectives, and values of Aquarius in your life and in yourself. How well do you embrace diversity? How willing are you to work for equality? How humanitarian are you? How well do you contribute your individual talents and skills to a group for a common cause? What organizations do you support with your time, energy, or money? How rational are you -- and let's not forget that Jung taught us the true definition of rationality -- the perfect blend of thought and feeling....not exactly the way we understand the word here in the Western culture. Tuesday night, CDT, the Full Blue Moon brings us the opportunity to celebrate freedom and uniqueness. How free are you?

The Sagittarius Moon of the last two days has given way to Capricorn this morning, and the morning news informs us that a federal judge has blocked a slaughter auction of 500 wild horses from a roundup. Sagittarius rules horses, the wilderness they love and thrive in, as well as the wildish, untamed landscapes within our own psyches. Freedom and movement, expansion, and connection with the Divine through the magnificence of Nature are Sagittarian experiences. By juxtaposition, Capricorn rules the structures, rules, laws, and institutions where we find government and judges. When we fail to preserve the wilderness outside of us, we fail to protect the wild and unfettered parts of ourselves. Without sharp instincts kept intact, we are naïve and easy prey. Without intuition and self-awareness, we are quickly and deftly caged. Without wide and untouched inner pastures and the bliss of creative inspiration, we deafen and deaden to our own lives. Pluto in Capricorn is working even now to transform the major institutions and structures that we have created to give shape and limitation to our world. May that transformation lend itself to support forour need and our ability to run free. The Moon continues in Scorpio today and tomorrow, walking hand in hand with Saturn, the great masculine and the great feminine together. As we all know, this kind of closeness can lend itself to many extremes. Passionate is the language they speak to each other and the fulfillment of their desires the subject matter. Think of their union as the lover who asks, "What do you want? What do you desire the most?", for this truly is the question put before us. We've all heard the saying, "If God called you this afternoon and said you could have anything you want....anything at all....would you know what to say?" What would your life look like if you had the resources at hand to create what you truly, passionately, perhaps madly, desire? Do you have those resources? Do you know how to get them? Do you know how to build the castle of your life? What could your life be if all that is unimportant, all that is unnecessary, all that is meaningless, all that is superficial, all that is obsolete in you suddenly disappeared? These two lovers, Saturn and the Moon, Strength and Softness, sneak off into the forest to dream the answers to these questions. Somewhere in your life, if you listen, you can hear them whispering to each other as they explore and solve the greatest mysteries of all. We start the day with the Moon in Libra and end it with the Moon in Scorpio, a transition from the airy expressions of the mind and speech to the deeper pools of desire and feelings. Right now, with Saturn in Scorpio, these days each month when the Moon joins him on the cliff overlooking the raging falls are so important. From tomorrow evening and into Thursday morning, emotional clues can be mined and understood as markers for the serious work of the Soul still going on during the 2 1/2 year cycle. Pay attention to your feelings for the next few days...watch what triggers them, what you do with them, how much power they have over you, how you utilize or transform them. Remember that Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) is always peering into us looking for what needs to go into the trash bin. If Libra isn't healthy, it leads us easily into a black-and-white viewpoint.....a real set-up for moving straight into the extremism of Scorpio. Try to start the day with a conscious sense of emotional balance and cool-headed perspective. And watch to see what happens then in the second half of the day. And don't forget to check in with your Inner Child, making sure to provide acknowledgement and safety. That's one of the most vital points of balance you can create. |
