This morning we wake up to Astrological
depth, richness, fullness and an umbrella of potentially heavy mental
energy (Mercury is opposite Saturn). The World is hungry. Tonight, we
will experience the Full Flower Moon at 11:42 EDT.

| I'm not thinking you want to bend over and smell THIS flower... |
The Full Moon is in a waning trine with
Neptune, square to Jupiter and waxing sextile with Pluto Rx in
Capricorn. The fixed t-square between the Sun, Moon and Jupiter has
an outlet in Aquarius. We have to think about what is best for the
“whole” moreso than what is most desirable for ourselves.
However, with the Moon in potentially blood-thirsty Scorpio, some
folks may be selfishly gathering up resources for their sole use or
pushing the agenda toward self-serving means. There could also be a
lot of effort put forth to try to “tame”, control or even
suppress other parties involved. (Watch out for bullying). None of
these expressions are of the higher energy found in this Full Moon.
In order to reach that height, we must overcome ourselves (our egos,
our personal philosophies, our desire to be right and always get our
way) in an effort to help the entire group involved. No one's opinion
should be squashed or oppressed. All voices need to be heard. But,
before that can occur, the foundation must first be laid. The
connection must be built. Before we can even consciously engage in
building that connection, we are going to have to hack our way
through some rather dense, rough and raw terrain first. Then, we are
going to have to work on building the floor upon a foundation of
trust which means...yeah, we are going to have to be truthful both
with ourselves and others. Sometimes the truth is ugly but it is the
truth none-the-less. Sugar coating it, attempting to manipulate it or
blaming it on someone else is pretty fruitless. It is what it is. Our
job is to deal with it and move forward from here while realizing we
can ONLY move forward. We cannot change what has already occurred no
matter how much we may want to. We can change our perspective but the
truth will remain solid regardless of how we look at it. We can
change how we look at it (and are strongly encouraged to practice
doing so) but truth is static...it ain't movin.
But, there is even MORE going on under
the surface of this energy. Eh, that's kind of par for the course
when discussing Scorpio, is it not? You see, Jupiter is highly
involved in this Moon. Of course this has the potential to bring
emotionality to an over the top extreme. But, also, Jupiter is in a
crucial spot right now. He is inconjunct to Pluto Rx who is also a
player (as ruler of the Moon and in sextile to the same) at this Full
Moon. At the very same time, though, Jupiter is also inconjunct to
Vesta in Pisces. This creates a Yod with Jupiter in Leo right at the
tippy top. Shooting right over that Yod is the opposition from the
Sun to the Moon (aka: the Full Moon in Scorpio). This opposition lays
across the Yod making what kinda looks like an anarchy symbol. In
that, I feel that many folks want to truly make a difference or
foster a change (Pluto Rx) in an effort to feel more fulfilled
(Vesta). In doing so they will try to express themselves through
various means by drawing upon their personal philosophies and
theorems. And, a lot of this happens publicly. Voices are heard and
exerted. Things are said. People express themselves outright and with
abandon. There is a public outcry and that outcry has varied
perspectives. Yet, underneath that is a common “pull.” The draw
toward self-expression is catalyzed the same way. But, because we are
speaking of Jupiter in Leo at the apex of the Yod, the expression of
self is going to vary since we are NOT all the same, you know? These
are personal truths being expressed here and all voices are
expressing a varying personal views and perspectives.
On top of that (yes, there is more),
BML in Virgo is inconjunct Uranus in Aries. Talk about freaking wild.
This is about as wild as it gets. Untamed. Unbridled. Rebellious and
potentially destructive especially if the shadow energy of BML and
Uranus are channeled. The highest expression of this configuration
comes when we have the ability to act independently in a way that
doesn't care what the status quo says is the “right thing to do.”
Instead, we rely on our own sense of justice in an effort to serve
the needs of others. Yes, there is potential for vigilante actions in
response to this energy. But, the higher expression is less concerned
with our egos and more concerned with what is best for the collective
as a whole. Is the action we plan on taking actually going to help
the situation? Or is it simply a reflection of the destructive energy
we are currently seeing. Two wrongs don't make a right, folks. Just
because you are experiencing violence and oppression from the outside
world, that doesn't give you an excuse to be violent and oppressive
in return. It's the same energy and it sucks no matter how you look
at it. No, the call here is to go about things differently while
disallowing yourself to be catalyzed otherwise. Boundaries need to be
tight and we all need to adhere to our ability to hold ourselves on
center and keep gently walking our truth while aiming to truly help.
Truly helping involves giving everyone space to time to have their
voices heard while staying on point and not getting distracted. Folks
may need to be re-oriented to the true issue instead of going off
track on topics that have nothing to do with the problem at hand.
That's going to be tough because this Moon in Scorpio draws a lot of
ugly to the surface that may have roots that run more deeply than
current circumstance. This sky reaches so deep that it pulls the ugly
right out our heads from the very bottom of our feet. If you get
quiet enough, you may even be able to feel this pulling.
In the meantime, we are hungry.
Appetites are voracious and it may feel like we simply cannot get
enough sustenance. Heed that call and fill your body with solid
energy producing food instead of opting for stuffing your face with
empty calories that will leave you falling flat later. High emotional
times call for energetic support of our load bearing bodies which are
growing more easily wearied as Mars moves out of his sextile with
Pluto Rx.
We are also given the opportunity to
feel compassion and empathy for our enemies through the trine of this
Moon to Neptune. Forgiveness is a gift to yourself in this instance,
otherwise you are going to waste a tremendous amount of time and
energy seething and going for the jugular. Just because you kill your
supposed enemy (literally or metaphorically), that doesn't resolve
the problem. It may seem like a simple answer at the time. But, I
promise you, if this is something you are meant to deal with
effectively in this lifetime, then the energy will come back through
someone else in a different set of circumstances even if the original
transgressor is no longer capable of affecting you. Deal with the
underlying problem more than aiming to simply take out the
perpetrator. Taking yourself out of the equation or trying to avoid
whatever situation you are in is not going to work either. There is
strong pull toward engagement at this Moon and much of what is
occurring is acutely personal. In that, it is the strong desire of
the ego that must be tamed because, in reality, this isn't all about
you. It's about what is best for the world. Know that any negative
expression of energy impacts the entire Universe so be aware of the
ripples you are putting into the ocean of the collective because they
WILL come back to you more violently than they were originally sent
out. Actions have consequence so make sure you can live with what you
are putting out there.
Aim to do things differently while
realizing that violence and oppression are not new. Compassion is
truly the more radical and progressive energy of our times. Surprise
someone with that and you can end up inspiring them to do the
same..or not, that's really not your problem to worry about. I just
know that I'd rather deal with building rebound compassionate energy
rather than building rebound “I'm going to kill you and all your
ancestors” energy. You know? If you want to impact a situation, aim
to impact it with love instead of hate. It's going to be hard in some
situations because there are pockets of folks who could certainly
justify a violent response to what they are experiencing. But, we
need to realize that in doing so, we are becoming our
enemies...mirroring their oppressive and violent behavior rather than
truly combating it. In that, there will be times when we will need to
assess when it is a good idea to stand our ground and when it is a
good idea to just let go of the struggle because nothing positive
could possibly come from it. This assessment will be very personal
and will require a good bit of introversion and soul searching.
In the meantime, the day works like
this: We start out under a primal (and hungry) Scorpio Moon. Personal
demons threaten to rise to the surface. As they rise our business is
to expel or exorcise those demons once and for all rather than
allowing them to take over. Don't you love the smell of fire and
brimstone in the morning? Meanwhile, some folks will become greedy
and fall mercy to these subsurface demons while others will shrink
completely...disappearing into the depths as the Moon finds Neptune
by trine at 4:03 PM. Emotions continue to build and at times it may
feel like something is about to pop wide open. As the evening
progresses, this may literally happen in our personal spheres or
potentially, even, in the public arena. The Full Moon perfects at
11:42 PM. The Moon officially squares off with Jupiter just past
midnight and finds Pluto Rx by sextile at about 3 AM. Meanwhile, the
Sun officially squares off with Jupiter at 5 AM on Monday morning.
The energy from this Full Moon has hang time. In that, we are being
called to channel the positive energy of Jupiter which has nothing to
do with being selfish, self-important or greedy. The positive call of
Jupiter is future-minded, highly educated, generous and benevolent.
It aims for the truth in a situation and that extends beyond personal
truth. However, personally is exactly how we experience it. It's hard
to act fortuitously on personal truth when that personal truth is
being directed by personal demons who are busy grabbing up all the
resources for themselves. Ask yourself, is that truly the kind of
world I want to live in? Do you really want to live in a world where
everyone is desperately and violently grasping out for gratification?
Or would you rather live in a world that shares resources evenly
regardless of a person's status within the social construct. Your
answer to that should direct your actions in whatever personal
situation you find yourself in. Want to end violence? Then don't
allow yourself to be violent. The solution to our collective problem
truly lies in individual and personal decisions. Decide to be part of
the solution instead of being part of the problem. That's the best
work you can do under this Moon.
One thing to bear in mind is that all
energy has extremes on either end. Often, Scorpio forgets this often
opting for one extreme end or the other. The solution to what you are
experiencing most likely falls in the middle of those extremes. It
doesn't have to be kill or be killed. There IS a middle ground and
our North Node in Libra expects us to know how to balance that out by
now. While all this occurring, the North Node whispers the message
from her current Sabian Symbol: Three “old masters” hang alone
in an art gallery. Efficient cohesion of the three “souls” of
man; of mind, feeling and instinct. INTEGRATED WISDOM. Act wisely,
rely on your acquired knowledge of what is effective and what
isn't...release your personal demons, engage consciously in
forgiveness and move forward with the needs of the collective (not
just your own) in mind. The whole world needs to be fed, not just
you. Making that happen is a collective grassroots movement of which
we all play an integral part. Sign up for your supportive role in
that whether it is through recycling efforts, food drives, resource
sharing or working to come together to find a solid mutually
supportive ground.
