Blue
Moon in Libra: You, Me, and the Co-creative We
Moon
opposite Sun @ 4-19-19, 6:15am CDT
There
are 3 types of Blue Moons. There is a Biological Blue Moon...which
is the third of four Full Moons in a season (there are usually only 3 Full Moons every season). The next of these Blue
Moons will be a month from now, and the last was May of 2016. The
Biological Blue Moon (also known as the seasonal Blue Moon) is a moon
where we can tap more deeply into the Mother Mind of our Earth and
know her rhythms and how she moves us.
There
is also a Sociological Blue Moon...created somewhat recently, but no
doubt integral to our current folklore. The Societal Blue Moon is
the 2nd Full Moon within a calendar month. The last of
those were in January and March of last year. The Sociological Blue
Moon (also called the monthly Blue Moon) can help us tap more deeply
into the flow of our societal stories, the Societal Mind, giving
opportunities to interact and shift some flow into a new direction.
The
3rd type of Blue Moon we’re experiencing now is an
Astrological Blue Moon...which is the 2nd Full Moon within
one sign of the Zodiac (in my work, I use the tropical zodiac). Last
month’s Storm Moon in her fullness was in the 1st degree
of Libra, on the day of the Equinox. This month, the Seed Moon is
full in the last degree of Libra. That means this is an Astrological
Blue Moon. This Blue Moon works on both the biological and
sociological levels...but also co-creates something beyond that by
our relationship to the cosmos. These are the ‘once in a Blue
Moon’ opportunities to tap more deeply into how the Universal Mind
moves us through the Music of the Spheres.
This
is our Seed Moon...co-creative in our relationship between Self and
Other. The Aries-Libra axis that Sun and Moon are in now is about
how one relates to another. This can be in any kind of
relationship...though it is often most dynamic within intimate
relationships, when people get right down to the core of who they are
with each other. Yes, our intimate partnerships will be in full
light in this moon. But so will the ways we bond, relate, and
interact with others. What are we agreeing with others to co-create
in each interaction? The deciding question, at this time, might
be...is it productive???
Sun
in Aries 30- Sabian Symbol: ‘a duck pond and its brood’
 |
| Are we excluding any part of ourselves that we consider the 'ugly duckling'? There is actually beauty to embrace in that shadow. |
What
we know of as our singular identity can actually be thought of as a
close-knit family of energies working as one. Within this holarchy
(though for many, it may be a hierarchy within)...what takes care of
the whole brood? And what parts are guided along by what directs the
pond’s inhabitants? Also, how open are we to letting something new
come in and change the dynamics? Is the very thought of it
unsettling or exciting? Either, or both, can be the case with Sun
applying to a conjunction with Uranus in Taurus. In between them is
the asteroid Hygiea, though, named for the Goddess of Preventative
Health...so there may be something to arise that leads us to holistic
healing.
How
we each are designed uniquely to fill a certain space (a body...made
of mostly water)...and how we interact in ways of survival,
self-bonding, self-reasoning, and self-understanding...is the essence
of this final degree of Aries. This is where we can come to a
certain mastery of self-realization which provides us direction. Of
course, Sun is only illuminating this degree for a day before moving
into Taurus...so we shouldn’t expect the full extent of this
mastery all at once. But this Blue Moon will be reflecting this
Sunlight for us to tap into at this time.
Moon
in Libra 30- Sabian Symbol: ‘three mounds of knowledge on a
philosopher’s head’
 |
| 'The Philosopher's Head' by David Delruelle |
Any
Moon in Libra, including last month’s, relates to the building of
relationships. In the first degree of Libra last month...we were
relating to how another is displayed on the surface, and what we can
learn from this. Now, Moon illuminates the mounds of knowledge we
can grow from a full experience of others.
Like
the 3 types of Blue Moons...there are 3 ‘mounds of knowledge’ in
these Libra Mysteries. One is biological knowledge...how the
individual relates to the Earth and all life upon her through the
Body. One is sociological...how we relate to other people through
the Mind. And one is astrological...how all of our energies combine
with the cosmos as a co-creative relationship through Soul and
Spirit. This Seed Moon is a thoughtful one. And hopefully it will
inspire you to make manifest the best of those thoughts.
Juno
in Gemini 30- Sabian Symbol: ‘bathing beauties on a beach’
 |
| 'A Bloat of Hippos' by Bruce J Robinson Maybe you were expecting women in bikinis? Hippopotamus Medicine is much more aligned with Juno in this degree. |
The
asteroid Juno, named after the Queen of the Gods, is in beneficial
aspects to both luminaries at this time. In this Full Moon’s
mythic storyline, she is acting as midwife to this Sun-Moon
opposition and assisting the initial seed planted at New Moon (April
5th) to flower. Her husband, Jupiter, is opposite her in
Sagittarius, and helping in his own way of expanding the vision
inward...but he is also retrograding away now, and into a space of
preparation for opposition with Mars on May 5th. It is the Bona Dea
(the Good Goddess) who is most influential at this Full Moon. And
when Juno is at work...she brings up themes of commitment in
partnership and feminine empowerment to balance out the patriarchy.
Watch
women work together now in ‘Blue Moon’ ways to bring equality in
partnership to an even more conscious level of engagement. What we
need to be conscious of, within ourselves, is that this isn’t a
competition with others. This creative flow and good rapport with
Juno is about how we communicate and create networks within our
environment. This is the last degree of Gemini at play...so it has
the potential to connect in fascinating (perhaps even curious) ways.
May
you all have a blessed Blue Moon!

and Gratitude,
