We are not even fully “into”
this Full Moon yet. Mars does not officially meet Pluto until the
26th But, the happenings in the World are already
illustrating what this is about. The Beast. The one we project onto
the face of the other. The one that resides within our own selves
that we deny. The insidious kind of temptation that comes with
extraordinary hunger and..lust. From the recent Huddle House
shooting to the rented truck incident in Toronto and million other
little relevant stories in between. It is scary. We can never
consider these acts as “normal” everyday occurrences. Cannot
allow ourselves to become accepting of that. Because, it is frankly
NOT acceptable regardless of how routine they seem to be in our world
at this time. I don't know what the answers are to the problems
around the globe. In that flux there is only one little bitty thing
that I have truly have any control over. Myself. I suggest you direct
your attention to the same.
The Full Moon occurs across
the Sabian Symbols for 10 Taurus/Scorpio. These read as follows:
For the Sun at10 Taurus: A
pretty red cross nurse hurries on an errand of mercy. Natural
unrestrained pouring of self in service to one's fellow persons.
Self-expression through compassionate understanding.
There are two folks in my
circle of close that have planets here. Both are rescuers and provide
compassionate care to others in different capacities. There is no
question with these folks. They are here to serve others. It's just
how they are built.
10 Scorpio: A fellowship
supper reawakens unforgettable inner ties. Companionship rooted in
past performance. Group personality emergence. Fraternity of ideals
uplifting individual efforts.
There could be reunion-like
affairs that bring old comrades back together to re-share their
collective past experience. The roots of our bond are re-feathered or
severed..but remembered either way. Who were we in this group? Was it
who we truly are? Could this reunion of past contacts bring parts of
ourselves back into our awareness that we have left behind? Pieces in
need of reclamation? Or did the group bear influence that we
responded to by leaving the truth of ourselves behind in spite of
ourselves. Does the interaction of the group seem different now? Or
is there is sweet nostalgic twang that welcomes everyone back to the
table? The reactions will likely vary because even though this is a
remembering of “collective” experience we still each perceive and
recall it a little bit differently. With a group or not, we are
reminded of ourselves in another time. Even though slated as a group
affair, we should be focused much more about the personal effects of
that experience. Perhaps revisiting this time or the actual people
involved could inspire us to re-write that history through more wise
and weathered eyes from a safe distance.
We have both the traditional
and modern ruler's of Scorpio just separating in their conjunction in
the sign of Capricorn. Mars moves toward 23 degrees and will soon
enter his retrograde shadow. Pluto is retrograde and now travels
toward the 21st degree of Capricorn.
Mars at 23 Capricorn: A
soldier receives decorously two awards for bravery. Reward offered by
society for the fulfilling of individual responsibility. Recognition
of worth; unearned good fortune.
Pluto at 21 Capricorn: A
relay race. Each runner springs eagerly into place. Extreme
cooperation and give-and-take in life relationships. Full surrender
of self to service. Planned group-behavior.
In the Symbol for Mars, we
see rewards for bravery. Bravery cannot exist outside fear. The very
definition of bravery is a willingness to face fear and to keep
moving forward anyway. Fear is not the issue. Allowing it to stop us
in our tracks or do something we would not ordinarily do otherwise is
where the issue resides. For Pluto, you get a hint at everyone at the
ready with their “collective service” job. Not too long ago, at
first while Jupiter was Leo, then again as the nodes moved from Virgo
to Leo, I mentioned finding your impact zone. Your role/job/skill in
that realm of influence. All of which could be discovered in acts
aimed at uncovering the truth of yourself and what it is you have to
contribute to a stronger, more healthy and more widely encompassing
world. Here we are pulling together ready to engage within those
roles as one large cooperative movement. Bravery meets with
self-knowledge and the ferocity of cooperation toward a common goal.
There is power in numbers that align with a common intent. And, we
say this in regard to praying and religion all the time. That a
collective voice...many singing in unison or praying for the same
end...raises the power that resides within the intention making it
all the more potent. So though we may feel cast out during this rise
of the Beast within due our own feelings of repulsiveness, rejection
or self-loathing...we are still shown as necessary and intricately
woven within the whole. Our specialized skills sets needed. We all
have thorns. That need not stop us from engaging with our humanity.
Takes courage to face that and to face off with ourselves. But once
we do and release our grip on this stuff...we are ready to take our
place at the starting line. Stronger. Determined. Focused. And, not
alone.
The Moon and Saturn are in
strong sextile here is which is great for self-direction, boundary,
adherence to long terms goals as well as good grasp on our own
feelings of responsibility and accountability. This Moon does likely
prompt us to consider our individual roles in this existence quite
deeply. This sextile, however, also makes a loose Yod with Venus in
Gemini. How we feel is upheld by our level maturity while being well
boundaried and steady...though emotions run very deep despite this.
Those two things together (an intimate knowledge of self, a clear
vision of future goals, firm grasp on boundary) points straight to
what is important (Venus).
Of course, Saturn trines the
Sun as well also supporting us in being self-accountable and
self-directed. The nodal axis is now officially conjunct Ceres in Leo
and the whole of that configuration creates a fixed cross with the
Full Moon. What blossoms here, sticks. Has permanence. May be hard or
impossible to change in the future let alone forget. As a matter of
fact, I definitely see the next two weeks putting markers on the
timeline of world history that we do deem as “unforgettable”
events. Taurus and Scorpio are not known for forgetfulness, anyway
(plus, the Sabian for the Moon mentions this word specifically).
Taurus and Scorpio (particularly Moon or Mercury natives) have
lengthy and detailed memories. Plus, with the nodes involvement, I'm
hearing echoes of past and prelude to future eclipses..this Moon
marks the halfway point between those eclipse seasons.
Other relevant matters in
this chart include Uranus at the 29th degree of Aries,
where he will hang until dropping into Taurus following our New Moon
in May. Plus, Juno conjunct Chiron with both newly in Aries is not
something to just gloss over, either. Commit to your own healing.
Start there. This is how the world heals by each of us focusing on
what we need to heal ourselves with that energy rippling out across
the whole of the collective.
Jupiter is in position to be
a linkage point between Neptune and Pluto. As time moves forward,
this three planet configuration will tighten. Jupiter and Pluto will
meet by official sextile again in the Fall at 18 degrees of their
signs. Neptune will be at 15 degrees of Pisces..so we are looking at
a mere 3 degree orb there and a drawing together of energies which is
subtle but resilient. Strong, powerful and goal oriented but
compassionate, empathic and creative. Something to look forward to
but likely an ongoing type energy that will peak and wane from now
until the end of the year mixing all this outer planet power together
in one massive...swirl.
Of course, it is a Full Moon
which is geared toward release. What rises within us? Our very own
type of beast. The ugly underbelly we would like to forget. Feelings
of resentment, guilt, remorse, regret, fear, powerlessness, envy,
greed, gluttony...splattered across the sky. Those things that we
hold on to in the quiet dark spaces of our souls emerge like thorns
that have been embedded beneath our skin for decades. So long it has
become part of us while poisoning our core with its infection at the
same time.
It's time to pull out the
thorn. Release the toxins safely. Soothe and tame the beast within.
Allow the beast to heal.
This is not an emergence
that is quick, either. These are slow and sometimes painful or
infuriating conclusions we come to. Point being so that we can rid
ourselves of them or at the very least become aware of how the
infection may affect how we feel, operate or even create relationship
and make decisions. How, though it typically lays latent, it still
threatens to turn us putrid as if we held rot in our insides.

Along the axis between Taurus and Scorpio, we find natives with the strength and endurance of Atlas. These are those that forebear, carrying the worlds burdens and karma across their back. Due that enduring energy, some may try to bear the weight of this beastly energy. Endure it. Walk with it. Continue on with the infection and luggage that we could, instead, choose to free ourselves from. Yet, the sign of Scorpio can be both sadistic and masochistic. Some may choose to inflict the others with their poison. Others may slay themselves with it because pain is the only sensation that helps them feel alive. But, if you choose to begin releasing it, you will see that this is not something we have to continue suffering from. We can walk away. We can release our grip on it and lay it down. Suffering, on some levels, can end here. Or be made worse, depending on our individual choices which is the absolute ONLY thing we humans really have any control over.
You don't have to carry
this, pilgrim. Turn it back over into the soil. Forgive it. Forgive
yourself; but, let “it” go. Let it die. Decompose and enrich the
soil for new and less cumbersome life. Learn what you have to learn
from it. Sure. But, squeeze out all the pus that surrounds it so that
the spot of the thorn can regenerate with new and healthier tissue.
Scorpio and Pluto have this
tendency to act as drawing substances. Pulling from our core the
insults to our flesh and tender souls. Allow the detoxification to
occur without need to take physical action upon it with the exception
of releasing our grip and laying of hands toward healing. This feel
of a drawing salve bringing toxins for our release to the surface,
again...doesn't occur in one day. We are in this right now and the
energy will likely continue across the course of the next two weeks.
Keep letting it surface. Keep rendering it to the dirt allowing
yourself the healing space you need. It is an experience with easily
discernible individualized stripes. But, taking the whole in
perspective, it also marks a large sweeping collective movement in
which a resounding cry of “ENOUGH” is strong enough to make the
Earth quake. Slow but steadily building in resonance. Heavy and
cumbersome...trudging and forlorn...bearing down upon us until we
have reached the cusp of our ability to tolerate it. Casting it down
upon the floor. Rising anew and less encumbered...and a choice coming
forth unto the collective that is met with the stomp of “NO MORE!” If you join a group movement, ensure you hold true to your own independent thoughts and identity without getting sucked into a sea of group think.
No More. Welcome to the
Beast.
