So, there's a Full Moon
tonight. Have you heard? It's a little intense. Since it is conjunct
Pluto. Just a little. Let's begin at the beginning.
This morning the Moon
resides in Capricorn and makes no major aspect until about 6:05 PM by
way of a sextile to Neptune. The Moon is waxing. Emotions are high.
They can soften or stream from the eyes as the Moon passes by
Neptune. It's a release point in which we are given opportunity to
purge, create or just relax a bit from the heightened state. Water
and Earth mix to form a metaphorical creative energetic clay. At 6:45
PM the Moon squares Jupiter and emotions rise again. Wherever we are
emotionally during Moon/Neptune expands under Moon/Jupiter.
Just after midnight, the
Full Moon blossoms at just a little over 17 degrees extending from
Cancer to Capricorn. The Moon officially meets Pluto by conjunction
at about 2 AM.
Aside from feeling broody,
seething, paranoid, angry...this Full Moon offers a powerful point of
release. Wherever the Moon and Pluto reside in your Astrology chart
points to the place where you need to aim your purge. Full Moons are
for release. Culmination. Completion and the beginning of clearing
the decks in preparation for a new Lunar cycle. This Moon opens a
huge pit for your to toss garbage into. It could be that something
usurps your power in the house of the Full Moon. Or, perhaps there is
a block there that keeps you from fully accessing and commanding your
power. Perhaps you are being emotionally manipulated, abused and/or
controlled and that is just now being revealed to you under this
Moon. Either way, there is room for deep excavation here but in order
to that, you must face off with yourself, your fears, your shadow and
bravely look at what it is that you need to let go of. It's a great
Moon for severing negative attachments, releasing malefic habits,
disconnecting from abusers, manipulators or merely ditching outdated
standards that could work to block us more than support us at this
time.

The Moon does seethe and
brood a bit. It is conjunct Pluto. And, with Moon/Pluto emotions are
no light affair. They can be spicy, saucy and erotic but light? Not
so much. And, speaking of erotic, releasing at this time can be an
orgasmic energetic experience. Bringing forth feelings of euphoria
and relief once the tremendous weights are shed.
May remain and will continue
to be, concerned about the happenings in the world. But, this Moon is
a highly personal affair asking us to peer deeply into the personal
constructs of our lives and yank our power back in an effort to live
more freely and less inhibited by doubt, fear and the ways in which
we or others may block us from even realizing we may have power to
begin with. Because we do. We all do. The question is not whether or
not we have it. The question is whether or not we can recognize it
and put it full conscious and responsible use toward our goals.
That being said, this can be
a true mark of exacerbating power struggles...internally or
externally in which the dynamics of power need to be more evenly
balanced. In that, we are looking for a mixture of Cancer and
Capricorn energy that best supports the balance of power instead of
putting too much weight on one end or the other. We are called to be
the ideal parents (which we may not have experienced as children) to
ourselves. To be supportive. Realistic. Protective. Nurturing. And,
gently guide ourselves in a way that allows us to step gently into
our own power and then put that to proper use.
The Sabian Symbols for this
lunation read as follows:
For the Sun at 18 Cancer: In a
crowded barnyard a hen clucks among her chickens. Gossip.
At times, spreading unverified information in an effort to deflect
attention from oneself. Social chatter. Enjoying local company.
Conversations that happen at home. Devotion to issues that directly
effect matters of home and family. Airing of grievances or worry.
Simple and/or mundane aspects of life.
--you can keep clucking about what everyone else is doing wrong and use that as a distraction from your own problems...but, your problems, until directly faced, are going to continue to exist after the clucking ends
For the Moon (and Sun's
ruler) at 18 Capricorn: The Union Jack Flag flies from a new British
Destroyer. Ownership.
Patriotism. Standing off in defense of home and country. Pride.
Challenge to competition. Signal or symbol of established norms.
The
Moon remains active through the night. That could stir some
restlessness or insomnia. Such potential exists under any Full Moon.
We are essentially looking at transforming, shedding snake skin,
purging and releasing things that may manipulate, abuse, usurp or
block our access to our own power. The place to begin in the search
for things that may need to go begins within. Point your focus there
and bravely stand off with yourself in an effort to gain more
conscious control over your life. Use the waxing Sun/Pluto opposition
to keep hacking away at and recognizing these things. We are able to
release/purge solidly and effectively for the next two weeks before
we begin rebuilding our more free and authentic identity and
self-expression under the New Moon in Leo. Then, once we've
metaphorically cleared the decks we can use the waxing Mars/Uranus
square and subsequent square from Sun to the same in an effort to
step into our lives under a stronger sense of freedom and personal
authenticity while wearing our gentle source of power consciously
like a crown.

The
Full Moon is crested and now waning. All that is left is to
recuperate and deal with the potential of emotional hangover. Moon
drunkeness. Hysteria. Lunacy. Or, to self-care following a
particularly heightened emotional state.
At
11:41 AM, the Moon opposes Mars which can birth ambiguity but is best
used toward acts of self-care and perseverance. Mars is motivated by
the Moon right now. The Moon resides in Capricorn. It is your job to
take care of your health just as much as any other job. Aim
productive efforts at doing just that in an effort to appease and
balance out this opposition.
At
10:13 PM, the Moon meets Uranus in Aries by square. As this aspect
waxes in, we may feel anxious and nervous. Reactive. It does bridge a
gap between the waxing Mars/Uranus square which can be indicative of
these inclinations rising in the background. If you reverted to
self-care efforts and were mindful of dietary and stimulant intake
throughout the day then this may go more smoothly. However, if you
were restless in sleep last night and overloaded on stimulants in an
effort to “get back in the game” it's likely you are frazzled and
agitated by the time the night sky unfurls. Ground out excess
physical energy or anxiety through movement. Work to rise
independently above swamping emotions instead of flailing in them.
Evoke emotional care expertise (Moon/Uranus) and breathe through the
adrenaline that may surge to help over-come the tendency to be
erratic or reactive. This is also the point where we can take our
first few steps toward emotional independence from whatever we
decided to purge or banish from our life under the Full Moon.
The
Moon sextiles Chiron at 11:17 PM. She reaches Void status here.
Meanwhile, the Sun perfects in opposition to Pluto in Capricorn. We
are encouraged to focus into the deep inner wells of identity and
continue to remove blocks or dissolve attachment to things that may
stop us from accessing the root of our power. Folks may still come on
strong for various reason throughout the day as this aspect waxes in.
There could be power struggles, disagreements, angst and fatigue to
deal with. The Cardinal cross created by the Moon/Mars/Uranus finds
outlet in Libra. There is not much in the way of Air or Venus in this
sky (other than the contact with Uranus). Tap into these outlets in
your natal chart and seek your Venus. She is the light creature in
the sky right now that can help boost us above more swamping emotions
while Libra reminds us we can negotiate, detach, compromise and be
fair in dealings that may include conflict in relationship.
It's
an intense weekend overall. However, there is definitely room for
banishing or purging elements in our life that drain, manipulate or
block you from full self expression or may be hindrance to your access to your own power. The suggestion is to face off
with yourself in regard to these issues and deliberately release them.
In a laser like focus. Rather than worry about what Sally across the
street or Jim at the grocery store may or may not be doing. That's
just a distraction from dealing with your own life. Maybe burn any
tendency like that first.
