Yesterday, I was trying to figure out
why in the world the middle to the end of August was so crazy for me
on a personal level. Not just this year, every year. I mean, the most
dramatic experiences of my life have typically happened in August. I
had a horrendous car accident in August 1989. I died twice in the
same day in August 2005. My first grandchild was born in August 2009.
Twice I've been married in August. Once in 1994 and once in 2010.
My descendant is in Leo. No way just
having the Sun transiting that spot would result in such looney
dramatics and pivotal experiences. Then, the lightbulb came on.
Each year when the Sun is at 5 degrees
Virgo, it is my Personal Full Moon. No wonder I feel like a lunar-tic
at this time every year. Because, I kinda of am.
Personal Full Moons occur when the
transiting Sun is opposing your Natal Moon. It is a time of
culminations, high emotions and, sometimes, lunacy. It is an annual
thing. It is the halfway mark in the current emotional (Moon) cycle
of maturity. It is of benefit to keep track of your personal Lunar
cycles. The period of your Personal New Moon begins when the Sun
transits your natal Moon by conjunction. The First Quarter is when
the Sun first squares your natal Moon. Full Moon, as above, is when
the Sun opposes your natal Moon. And the waning Last Quarter, of
course, comes with the final square of the Sun to your natal Moon.
Each of these phases can mark yearly periods that are emotionally
challenging. The “easier” times are typically when the Sun is
trine or sextile your natal Moon which also happens several times
through the year. Knowing your personal rhythms helps to keep you in
your “flow”.
Today, though, my Personal Full Moon is
over by one degree. But, the Sun in Virgo does perfect in opposition
to Neptune in Pisces at 10:33 AM EDT. Ego can soften and become
nebulous. Overnight, the Moon in Libra opposed Uranus (1:31 AM). At
Noon, she makes a sextile to her current ruler Venus and then reaches
Void status.
In the US, lots of folks are taking a
four day weekend to celebrate Labor Day. Today does seem fit for
dialing it back and relaxing. Moon will remain Void until entering
Scorpio at 4:53 AM tomorrow. I'd suggest spending one last summer
weekend at the lake or at the beach or in front of a VERY tall
Margarita. Yeah. I'd say we all deserve that. Wouldn't you?
