Well...this looks like an interesting
day! Is it a bad thing when an Astrology write up starts like that? I
can say that it isn't all bad. However, it is pretty clear that the
road to Full Moon emotional intensity starts heading uphill today.
We begin with the Sun in Capricorn
squaring off with Uranus in Aries overnight (3:40 AM). Then the Moon
in Gemini finds Jupiter in Leo by sexile at (4:14 AM) and Mars by
trine at 6:56 AM. See, that doesn't sound like it feels bad. Yes, the
square from the Sun to Uranus could be harsh and it could prompt some
people to flip their lids. But, it could also be that ethereal
“push,” the catalyst, that prompts us to take on those tasks we
have been avoiding and attempt to move forward.
The trine to Mars leaves the Moon Void
until entering Cancer at 8:08 PM. While the lights are out on the
Moon, Venus enters Aquarius at 9:49 AM and the Sun meets Pluto by
conjunction at 6:31 PM. Given that these last two planetary movements
do occur under a Void Moon, it's likely that we won't feel their
effects until the Moon is active. But, Sun to Pluto could likely have
been brewing before it's actual perfection since it has been waxing
in for a few days. At this point though, we don't really know what is
going on. But chances are as the Moon enters Cancer we will likely be
able to feel that something dark is looming in the distance whether
that sense of foreboding is aimed at an outside entity or is looming
in the back of our psyche. I call this feeling “Something wicked
this way comes” and it can be quite nerve wracking. Anticipation is
building as we move closer to this Full Wolf Moon.
In some instances, this incoming Full
Moon could equate to the wolf being literally at the door or stalking
around outside our homes. The ego could be pumped full of a sense of
powerlust, paranoia and fear. There is also a feeling of depth and
intensity that waxes into this day.
It may feel like events are set to pop
at any second. They might. In the long run, however, this incoming
Full Moon does not occur in a vacuum and it's events are not solely
isolated to the Sun and Moon perfecting in opposition. It's pretty
obvious that this Moon fits into a broader schematic of transition
that feeds into our lives at least until Spring.
After the Full Moon tomorrow, Mercury
enters his shadow on Monday. He turns retrograde, officially, on
January 21. That means some of the themes we see emerging in regard
to information in the days to come, will be revisited during
Mercury's back tracking. We are already getting a shift from Venus as
she moves into a new sign. Mars will shift on January 12th
and slip into Pisces. Then, at the New Moon in Aquarius on January
20th, Pluto perfects in square to our Nodal Axis. In this
Universal shifting, we also collectively shift. As above, so below.
As within, so without.
People will be shuffled and, in some
instances, their trajectory toward the future could be altered. I'm
not saying this is a bad thing. As a matter of fact, there is energy
supporting change and positive movements forward within all this
flux. But, it's still change and that is quite uncomfortable for some
folks. Life paths may be altered. Some by choice. Some by
circumstance. On the path from this Full Moon to the next New Moon,
this begins to become more and more apparent. The whole time we are
ushering out the old and sweeping the doorsills, the looming of
“newness” and “the unknown” can be felt just around the
corner. I encourage you to keep deliberately letting go. If something
or someone tries to leave let it. Heck yeah, that can be scary and
sad.
But, the alternative is desperate and does very little to help
the situation but sure does a number in making you miserable in the
long run. Let it go. Mourn, worry about how it will fare without you,
walk through every emotion that presents itself bravely but don't try
to hold on to whatever it is through manipulation, strong arming or
codependent emotional displays. It is not yours to control.
At the same time, if you are person
trying to leave a situation, know you may encounter some of this
backlash (manipulation, strong arming and codependent emotional
displays). If you are sure this is the way you want to go, keep
walking. Use the power of Sun to Pluto to help you cut ties and
endure moving forward even in light of someone else's detachment
shock. If it's for the best, it's for the best. But, take the time to
be sure. Ties that are cut here stand a chance of being irrevocably
severed or at the very least, drastically altered. There will be no
going back to the way it was once these events start to unfurl. I can
think of many instances in which that can be a good thing. So, endure
what you have to and keep moving if you've determined that this is
the best track for you.
At the same time, these aspects can
catalyze events that actually deepen and strengthen relationships
especially when people pull together to endure storms instead of
erratically break apart. Is it worth it to hang in? Only you can be
the judge of that. And, we, collectively, will have to draw upon many
of the lessons we acquired through Saturn in Scorpio to figure it
out.
Today, we could begin to feel bloated.
Particularly by morning as the Moon begins waxing into trine with
Neptune (6:33 AM). The Moon really looks pregnant at this time and
physical bodies may very well respond in tow with feelings equivalent
to those fostered by high hormones and overall discomfort. We may
feel clingy and paranoid at times. We know a big change is about to
be birthed and there will be some who cling to “what is” in fear
of it slipping away. In light of that building pressure, I encourage
you to lay back and practice your breathing and calming techniques.
Open your hands as if you are physically letting something go but
know that those open hands are also open to receiving what presents
itself. Pause, breathe deeply and feel what you feel and then, see
yourself letting it go. Let it go whether it is a physically tangible
thing or an over-boiling emotion. Just let it go. You can even open
the door for it to leave so the it doesn't swing back and hit it in
the rear...but, let it go.
