Today we wake up to an industrious Moon
in Capricorn in sextile to Neptune in Pisces (11:12 AM). This sextile
can soften Capricorn's edges. Or, if you have planets in early
mutable signs that are being transited harshly by Neptune, you could
receive a feeling of grounding from our Saturn flavored Moon.
The Moon will meet up with Pluto
tonight via conjunction at 6:49 PM. Softness is replaced with depth
and we are in full swing on our way to our Full Moon tomorrow.
The Full Moon in Capricorn occurs at
7:25 AM EDT at 20 degrees and 3 minutes on the axis of Cancer and
Capricorn. The Sabian symbols for the Sun and the Moon are:
Sabian
for 21 Capricorn: A relay race
Sabian
for 21 Cancer: A prima donna singing
The success of a team in a relay race
is dependent upon its individual members. Whether you run with 4
runners or 8, the way you decide who runs when is to determine who
has what skills and decide which one fits best in each leg. This is
teamwork in action which conspires to bring immediate results.
A Prima Donna singing pulls upon her
own talents and strengths in an effort to entertain a crowd. This
calls for cooperation in a way too. The audience is not going to do
their part if the singer does not address what is entertaining to
them. If they are there to watch an opera, they aren't going to take
kindly to her deciding to sing country music. There is an interplay
there just like in the running team association above.
But, these Sabian's don't tell the
entire story. While the Full Moon is perfecting, there is a whole
different show happening over in Libra territory. Vesta, Ceres and
Mars are all piled up at 23 degrees Libra and sitting right next to
our North Node in Libra at 24 degrees. That's pretty interesting
given the Sabian Symbols for the Full Moon sound rather Libra-ish to
begin with.
For
24 Libra:

Bovee gives you this tip to consider
when encountering this degree, “Is it fulfilling?”
For
25 Libra:
Information in the symbol of an autumn leaf
Bovee says the theme of that degree is
Interdependence...just like our team of runners in the Capricorn
symbol and just like the singer's interaction with her audience. In
Interdependence we each hold accountability for our stuff and our
actions while accepting that others have stuff and mess up sometimes
too. When one member is down, the others pick up the slack and when
the injured is back up they come back to a supportive group. Ideally
that is how it works but constructing something like that is harder
than it sounds...obviously...since we have been inhabiting this
planet for a long time and on the whole HAVE YET to figure it out :)
So this Full Moon first becomes an
observation and assessment of all these factors (our plans for the
future vs who we are working {through friendships, working
relationships, etc} with on that journey)
Ceres and Vesta bring what
relationships make us feel alive and what relationships we feed to
the fore. In our assessment of our plans moving forward, these
relationships come into play. We are asked to employ (Mars) the
lessons we learned during Saturn in Libra and weigh what we are
feeding which offers no return (draining relationships) vs what we
feed into that brings us that feeling of livelihood (supportive and
invigorating relationships). It is brought to our attention that what
we feed (Ceres) grows according to the energy we feed it...for better
or worse. Are you feeding what makes you feel alive (Vesta)?
With Mars in Libra involved (at his
highest expression) we are motivated to partner effectively and bear
in mind the consequences of our actions upon others. At his lower
expression, we become overly competitive and possibly resentful.
Our current nodal axis prompts us to
KNOW AND MASTER THYSELF (SN in Aries) and use that knowledge to build
fulfilling and successful partnerships (NN in Libra).
And, all of this energy culminates at
the Full Moon quite nicely. It is a good time to assess what the
Sabians are beckoning for you to do.
However, if you have been continually
railroaded or knocked down over the past few months, this Full Moon
can bring you the opportunity to stand up and say, “Ok, enough is
enough.” There is enough energy here to prompt an emergence from
the ashes followed by a slamming of feet on solid ground and a solid
firm voice that says, “I'm back.”
There is a time of emergence coming.
Jupiter in Leo...a force to be reckoned with. Mars in Scorpio..that
IS the Phoenix. Saturn direct in Scorpio. And what is Scorpio
teaching us? How to rise and how to forbear/survive.
Also, bear in mind that our NN's ruler,
Venus has been quite the busy girl lately. She squared off with
Neptune at the end of June. She is finishing a square with Chiron in
Pisces as we speak. She is about to join forces with Mercury and jump
over into the sign of Cancer where she will square Uranus and oppose
Pluto. There is a Venus purge a'comin. This Full Moon and the
assessment of teamwork, self-motivation and relationships (in terms
of Mars/Vesta/Ceres NN) is quite timely! Gosh, it's almost as if it
were set up that way on purpose!
