<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In the fullness of eclipse
season, this penumbral lunar eclipse has plenty of intensity packed into a very
slight shadow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If it’s stirring up anything
significant in your natal chart, you may be surprised by how emotional you’re
feeling lately.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And since this eclipse
is at the south lunar node, there will still be more to purge from the active
confrontation of shadow that began this lunation (April 19<sup>th</sup>).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Two weeks ago, the Aries New
Moon was pushing for a definitive ending to something that had run its course
in our lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, as we reach the Full
Moon in Scorpio, there is more clarity about what that is. But there are likely
some unanticipated turns in the path of letting go.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

after opposition with Sun, is an opposition with Uranus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Uranian energy awakens, stimulates, and
progresses things in unpredictable ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Opposite Moon, it can bring up new insights about the past, accelerate
our emotional waves, or flip us out of our comfort zones to make changes in
routines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">This is not a day to insist on
consistency, or to resist out-of-the-blue adaptations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Leave some wiggle room in your plans so you can
move with the offbeat, get weird with it…and probably shock some squares in the
process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Embracing the fun in the
unfamiliar can help to mitigate the nerves of realizing what’s beyond your
control.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5Z3frFDJoaPPwDdiDxQPsdAiRDCRdAaYlSjlDE_bdj8WVZca_m6i3fTdaqeGSKJTRjm1f1NJgsPFQtuvHQ0CogzirOye72V-9hlcYT9d-VRlXrC57fvepZVuEm9VUAaVjVwoG2cMLMQbHojzsgDTDYqjGMZu9SflMRGcEbTKvSqPbvEP5Pmc/s2048/going%20gets%20weird.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1115" data-original-width="2048" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5Z3frFDJoaPPwDdiDxQPsdAiRDCRdAaYlSjlDE_bdj8WVZca_m6i3fTdaqeGSKJTRjm1f1NJgsPFQtuvHQ0CogzirOye72V-9hlcYT9d-VRlXrC57fvepZVuEm9VUAaVjVwoG2cMLMQbHojzsgDTDYqjGMZu9SflMRGcEbTKvSqPbvEP5Pmc/w400-h217/going%20gets%20weird.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Beginning this lunar cycle,
Moon was in Aries…the diurnal fire sign of Mars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this Full Moon midpoint of the cycle, Moon
is in Scorpio…the nocturnal water sign of Mars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And Mars has been in Cancer throughout this time…the sign of the
Moon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So Moon and Mars in mutual
reception is a key theme within this whole eclipse season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">As mentioned in the New Moon
post, mutual reception is usually a good thing between planets…but it’s pretty
tricky between Moon and Mars, especially in this combination with Scorpio Moon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sure the Moon and Mars can still help each
other navigate through these waters…but they’re both susceptible to falling
overboard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the growing trine between
them can amplify both the depth and the choppiness of the waves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">During New Moon, the
luminaries were square to Pluto…highlighting Plutonian themes like
transformation, rebirth, and uncovering things hidden below the surface.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This time, Pluto is prominent too, but for a
different reason.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Earlier this week (May
1<sup>st</sup>), Pluto stationed retrograde.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>During a planetary station, as the planet appears to slow down to a halt
to shift directions, the themes associated with the planet tend to saturate the
Kairos (the quality of time).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For outer
planets like Pluto, the station endures well past a week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This suggests there’s more that will be
unearthed and stirred into this Eclipse Cauldron.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">At New Moon, the goddess
Astraea was highlighted…inviting us to let go of something we’d been holding to
for too long.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this midpoint in Moon’s
cycle, Hygeia comes in with some preventative medicine to ease the
tension.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may feel some pressure to
make healthier choices while the luminaries move to square off with
Hygeia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is some necessity for a
cleanse or detox of some sort…either physically, mentally, emotionally, or
spiritually.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGVGJdHNnG3VLEFfuLrXWr_Fe09dc_6gW-0XEq1o43UIAmGwxh7sboMskD_FKohYi-r9XVXje9CvOrp52LeVl41fU2yYS1kuQZ8CkGoYXYDOXNrUejdWxcObmWPOg5lbFfudBI8qsdQIvc0DMFtHkT_Mlp-FSr-v9QLLXnJNonlLzmoICstJ4/s900/hygeia-gustav-klimt-3633149991.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="623" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGVGJdHNnG3VLEFfuLrXWr_Fe09dc_6gW-0XEq1o43UIAmGwxh7sboMskD_FKohYi-r9XVXje9CvOrp52LeVl41fU2yYS1kuQZ8CkGoYXYDOXNrUejdWxcObmWPOg5lbFfudBI8qsdQIvc0DMFtHkT_Mlp-FSr-v9QLLXnJNonlLzmoICstJ4/w278-h400/hygeia-gustav-klimt-3633149991.jpg" width="278" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">'Hygeia' by Gustav Klimt</td></tr></tbody></table><br /></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Every year around the 5<sup>th</sup>
of May, Sun reaches 15 degrees of Taurus which marks the midpoint between March
Equinox and June Solstice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is known
as Solar Beltane, or Astrological Beltane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Though most celebrate Beltane (from Scots Gaelic ‘Bealltainn’) or
Bealtaine (Irish pronunciation, ‘bee-YEL-tuh-nuh’) from the evening of April 30<sup>th</sup>
through the day of May 1<sup>st</sup>, I’ve come to prefer the cosmic timing to
the calendrical dates.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Bealtaine/Beltane, which means
‘bright fire’, is both a Gaelic name for the month of May and a cross-quarter
holiday that marks the shift from spring to summer in the Northern
Hemisphere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It leads into Summer Solstice
in June, which is referred to as ‘Midsummer’. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">This is a time to celebrate
the fertility of the earth and the warmth of the growing daylight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of the traditional customs of this
holiday have to do with protection…especially for the family and
livestock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Walking the boundaries of
your land while singing or humming, picking and placing yellow flowers/petals,
jumping the bel-fire or walking your animals around it counter-clockwise…just
some of a few traditions that work as protective spells.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguWp0eFTMRd-4fXpdwB5c6Z8ZVBzcsPlwhRoliOcn2bk6G1xGJ5VOhteBaO0R80bCdzj24SWJXKitJpH9BQL1mb9k5QHYIPq7iDNSxBwrVzYbRxTqJaEQheqx_d5bRmMdszZd8s6tPJKAzQLExLC4Cf4s3foZxml-vz1MMX4O0oLt7AFT7dEM/s960/174003319_10158101254576146_361661917907509239_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguWp0eFTMRd-4fXpdwB5c6Z8ZVBzcsPlwhRoliOcn2bk6G1xGJ5VOhteBaO0R80bCdzj24SWJXKitJpH9BQL1mb9k5QHYIPq7iDNSxBwrVzYbRxTqJaEQheqx_d5bRmMdszZd8s6tPJKAzQLExLC4Cf4s3foZxml-vz1MMX4O0oLt7AFT7dEM/w400-h400/174003319_10158101254576146_361661917907509239_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Our son, Felix, at the maypole during his blessing ceremony</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></p>

the Flower Moon, is the Full Moon of May.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It just so happens that both Lunar Beltane and Solar Beltane happen on
the same day…with less than an hour between them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is quite a bit of magic in the air at
this time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you feel you need some
protection or some luck on your side, you may want to leave some milk and honey
out for the fairies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">So that ‘bustle in your hedgerow’…this
is a good time to address it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not sure
what the phrase means?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Consider that a
hedgerow is a border of bushes meant to mark a boundary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A bustle refers to movement or activity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So it refers to a part of one’s life that
they didn’t think would move (or change) that is now becoming active.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Very simply, it is an opportunity for change…one
where things get shook up just enough that a new path might be chosen as a
result.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be open to moving beyond your
current boundaries and trying something new.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Rather than reacting with alarm to changes…you may be able to see that ‘it’s
just a Spring Clean for the May Queen’.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaOKjPFTrQALJD9Si7MxFRovYPQMZ9iwlAdWmvnpb4k6sOGw6wvtW0hfrp0y4uybAsgvnsvPQddHbFDnL0Kqi7MGoKwHTDbtgIjQ6WgMrlDeq_w1I3MLVn_FACtlGZPJnnlq5Jil8-hfgNUnr44iTIhMPAbyD-1vGBUDnAf8TcG30zWmjmnes/s322/181194343_10158101249296146_1233053555012651601_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="322" data-original-width="320" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaOKjPFTrQALJD9Si7MxFRovYPQMZ9iwlAdWmvnpb4k6sOGw6wvtW0hfrp0y4uybAsgvnsvPQddHbFDnL0Kqi7MGoKwHTDbtgIjQ6WgMrlDeq_w1I3MLVn_FACtlGZPJnnlq5Jil8-hfgNUnr44iTIhMPAbyD-1vGBUDnAf8TcG30zWmjmnes/w398-h400/181194343_10158101249296146_1233053555012651601_n.jpg" width="398" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My husband and me, playing the May Queen and the Green Man</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></p>

with a call to clear out what is destructive in our lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Such an imperative can bring up some

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Aries is the diurnal domicile
of Mars, who guides this eclipsed lunation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mars is currently in the water sign of Cancer…a sign where Mars has the
most trouble performing the actions he does best.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In general, the nature of Mars is that of a Challenger
or a Warrior…and those confrontational, combative skills are not so easy to use
in Cancer, where emotional bonding and protective nurturing is key.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In an emotionally sensitive sign like Cancer,
we often seek the comfort of what is familiar, nourishing, and safe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mars often needs a mission…something to go
after.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So Mars transiting through Cancer
can create a tendency to turn against those closest to us, sever emotional
bonds, or push away nurturance to deny the vulnerability of need.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">This is not the only way of
Mars in Cancer…it is more of a triggered reaction to feeling vulnerable in the
shadows of this season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we don’t feel
safe or cared for, defenses come up quickly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Cancer is, after all, a very protective energy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And in this Aries New Moon, overshadowing the
Sun, feelings of inferiority or invisibility may quicken our self-defensiveness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Mars is also a strong protector,
ever-ready to defend a cause.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In those
who were born with Mars in Cancer, there is a natural impetus to protect the
vulnerable from harm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But by transit,
Mars in Cancer gives us less time to figure out how to best use the energies we’ve
been feeling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This can bring up a lot of
frustration for anyone, no matter what sign your natal Mars is in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mars energy is often too restless to sit in
an inactive feeling like frustration until it passes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It needs somewhere to go, and something to
do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So anger often becomes the
activation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It can play out like an
emotionally volatile cycle, especially as Mars is in Moon’s sign (Cancer) and
Moon is in Mars’s sign (Aries).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mutual
Reception like this is often a mitigating influence…but with Moon and Mars in
mutual reception, it’s a tricky combination.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Pluto squaring off with Moon
and Sun during this eclipse brings up another uncomfortable necessity in all of
this emotional turbulence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re going
to have to go deeper…way deeper…into what is surfacing from this eclipse shadow
to uncover the real truth of what needs to be laid to rest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">We may not have the full story
of what we’re feeling the need to lash out about just yet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After all, Mercury is slowing down to station
retrograde this week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ll likely be
re-thinking soon what has been said in the past couple weeks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And in this emotional mix of energies, some
of us may have already said some things we’ll regret later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you’ve managed to hold your tongue and
just sit with your frustrations lately, good on you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Either way, it hasn’t been easy to do so.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWmA2ESHtic_Rq_CfRqce97P93sHoWDiV2GBfP474k4I6y5RwDmOcYv8ba4GY2PrhiHUJxtVRvLbxhvSbjn-q236310FoeASKKtVHM98d0-OrqlA0U-2yi588aKBNnuc5-wUGov1oFJE-QCREgDGKQaJgM0VPVS-6Mnk3Hogrcx9XpzAtjuLk/s300/222435669065654459_XlWwpEcc_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="185" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWmA2ESHtic_Rq_CfRqce97P93sHoWDiV2GBfP474k4I6y5RwDmOcYv8ba4GY2PrhiHUJxtVRvLbxhvSbjn-q236310FoeASKKtVHM98d0-OrqlA0U-2yi588aKBNnuc5-wUGov1oFJE-QCREgDGKQaJgM0VPVS-6Mnk3Hogrcx9XpzAtjuLk/w247-h400/222435669065654459_XlWwpEcc_b.jpg" width="247" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span><p></p>

be more empowered to create the kind of magic we need for necessary changes in
our paths ahead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Confront the shadow you’ve

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Imbolg is a Gaelic name for
the cross-quarter fire festival celebrated at the midpoint between the December
Solstice and the March Equinox here in the Northern Hemisphere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This holiday is also called Imbolc, Candlemas
(the Festival of Lights), the Feast of St. Brigid, or (especially in the States)
Groundhog Day.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Though the meanings of Imbolg
and Imbolc refer to different things, the pronunciation is the same (both are
pronounced ‘IM-olk’).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of many old Gaelic
language rules is that G is only pronounced like a G if at the beginning of the
word…elsewhere in a word it is pronounced as a hard C.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take the Scottish Gaelic word for Gaelic, for
example, which is ‘Gaidhlig’ and pronounced ‘GAA-lik’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, the B in Imbolg/Imbolc is silent (or a very
subtle touch-and-release of the lips without a plosive sound), as in the word ‘limb’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Imbolg refers to ‘In the belly’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only is this the 1<sup>st</sup> of 3
Spring Holidays, when seeds are stirring within the belly of the Earth and the
first signs of life begin to spring forth, but this is also traditionally the
time of year when dairy animals begin to give birth…such as the start of
lambing season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because milk is
plentiful at this time, dairy is often featured prominently in Imbolg feasts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, as far as human births go, if one was
conceived in the lusty month of May (Bealtaine/Beltane), then they would be
born around Imbolg.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Interestingly, the last
name ‘Robinson’ comes from such traditions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Because it was common for the mother of a child conceived in the throes
of passion at Bealtaine to not know who the father was, the baby was said to be
fathered by ‘Robin Goodfellow’ (one of many names, such as Puck, for the Pan-like Trickster of the Forest)…thus ‘son of Robin’ becomes ‘Robinson’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Imbolc refers to the word ‘folc’
which means to bathe, wash, or cleanse…a term that mirrors the purification and
purgation roots of the Roman month of Februarius.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As such, Spring Cleaning or House Cleansing
rituals are also ways to honor this time of year, as a way of sloughing off the
stagnation of Winter in preparation for Spring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Candlemas refers to this time
of year having many associations with lighting up the home with candlelight. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In celebration of the light of the Sun
increasing in the Northern Hemisphere, householders would light a candle in

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">And as Brigid/Bride/Brigantia
(Pan-Celtic Triple-Goddess of healing, smithcraft, fire, fertility, midwifery, and
poetry) is the Goddess of Imbolg, she was eventually syncretized to Catholicism
as St. Brigid…and this time of year, then, is also called the Feast of St. Brigid.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Imbolg is also traditionally a
time of weather divination.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is said
that when the weather is bright and sunny on this day, the Cailleach (Winter
Witch/Hag Goddess) awakens to gather firewood for the rest of winter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If she wants winter to last another 6 weeks,
she will make sure it is a clear and sunny day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If the weather is otherwise, it means she slept in and winter is almost
over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most times, Punxsutawney Phil (of
Pennsylvania’s Groundhog Day traditions) agrees with the same pattern on
February 2<sup>nd</sup> each year:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>seeing his shadow means 6 more weeks of Winter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year, Phil ‘saw his shadow’ on this
bright morning…heralding an extended winter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

heralds, one of the names for the Moon (and my favorite of them) is the
Quickening Moon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year, the
Quickening Moon is full on Sunday, February 5<sup>th</sup> (12:27pm CST)…less
than 2 days after the Imbolg Cross Quarter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>All that was seeded at the contemplative Aquarius New Moon of January 21<sup>st</sup>
is in full bloom with the expressive fires of Leo on Sunday. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Square to this Sun-Moon
opposition is Uranus in Taurus, adding much need for improvisation in tangible materialization.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Balancing the head of Aquarius air with the
heart of Leo fire requires an innovative approach now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And Uranus can bring some unpredictability to
any quickening, especially through the necessity of a square.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It can feel unsettling, so grounding is also
necessary to keep your balance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

brilliance to burst forth from the solid intentions of two weeks ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Mars-Chiron sextile in Gemini and Aries
offers a subtle, but substantial, safety net for any risk Uranus may incline us
toward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The key to this benefit is in
communicating actional healing to guide the best possible expression of this
quickening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With this more harmonious
approach, self-care can act as a bit of a shock-absorber for Uranian electricity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

to celebrate the cross-quarters according to the Astrological midpoints when

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">If you’re a word nerd like me,
and you love etymology, you may have noticed that the names of September
through December follow the sequence of the numbers 7 through 10. The Romans
who named these months originally considered Winter to be a monthless period,
so it was a 10-month calendar from March to December.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It wasn’t until around 713 BCE
that Numa Pompilius added January and February as the last two months. February
remained the last month (even more truncated back then, with an intercalary
month occasionally following February to realign the year with the seasons)
until about 450 BCE. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Under the reforms that
instituted the Julian calendar, January became the 1st month, so February was
thereafter the 2nd month…but it still remained the shortest month and held the
additional day every ‘leap year’. The Gregorian calendar reforms made only
slight changes, so February is still the shortest month to this day. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Being long ago the last month
of the year, February derives from Februa which refers to instruments of
purification and purgation. Therefore, the (former) final month became a time
of cleansing in preparation for the growing season. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In the early years of
Februarius, the patron God of the month was Februus (‘the Purifier’) who was a
personification of February’s cleansing festivals. And because of the
association with the February festival of Parentalia (which honored the family
ancestors), Februus was also a God of the Dead and was a chthonic deity equated
with Pluto (‘Dis Pater’, meaning ‘Rich Father’), who was a combination of the
Greek Gods Pluton (God of the Underworld and Afterlife, a.k.a. Hades) and
Ploutos (God of Wealth, as mineral wealth was found underground). So February,
holding an ancient association with finality, was also a time to celebrate the
dead.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Later, the month was also
associated with Juno (‘Bona Dea’, meaning ‘Good Goddess’), for which she
carried the epithet Juno Februa (or Februtis). This epithet referred to her
aspect of being a fertility goddess, the patron of midwifery and the
purification processes involved in childbirth. In this respect, she represented
the fertility and creativity that comes from clearing out the old to make way
for the new. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Interestingly, many of these
same associations are still alive today in the Celtic pagan traditions of
February being the month of Imbolg (meaning ‘in the belly’ and referring to
fertility and childbirth) or Imbolc (derived from ‘folc’ which means ‘wash’ or
‘cleanse’, referring to purification and purgation).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">And…now you know even more

the Cancer Black Moon seed of this cycle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">How have we grown to this
midpoint? From swimming in the deep with Dark Mother Protectress…to calling in
the wisdom of the Crone Goddess through Capricorn, we are finding the inner strength

Moon teaches much resilience through overcoming obstacles with measured
steps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It isn’t the easiest sign for Moon

of Capricorn Mysteries.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It may all be hitting very

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">What is your personal call to
action?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The one that your Ancestral

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Moon in Capricorn reflects the
wisdom of the Crone because this Cardinal Earth sign is guided by Saturn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Saturn, often referred to as Lord of Time, is
the planet of elders and senescence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Saturn teaches responsibility, respect, and regulation through rules and
restrictions that are meant to promote maturity and sustainability through the
tests of time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes, Saturn’s
lessons may have us feeling like we are enrolled in the School of Hard Knocks…because
they rarely come with ease and the rewards are rarely gained fully in the
immediate moment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Saturn would suggest
that the lasting effects of change take time to cultivate and bring to
fruition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With Saturn, we remember the
old adage ‘patience is a virtue’.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But this Capricorn Moon is
also working closely with Capricorn Pluto, and aspects to Mercury, Ceres,
Uranus, Neptune, Juno, Eris, and the lunar nodes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a bit of a ‘safety net’ if we should
fall while balancing on this Cancer/Capricorn axis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the strong trine from Venus to Saturn
suggests that the strength of our relations, and our responsibilities within
relationships, are supportive at this time for whatever it may be that we each
are being called to realize.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Moon’s apogee is called Black
Moon because it is not a celestial body, and it cannot be seen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is nothing physically there, unless the

is really done when young men massacre women and children, or adult men
sexually or physically abuse women and children, or governments dominated by older

women and children.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

contempt, hostility, blame, shame, disgust, rage, fear, banishment, or the

steal them from her and change them to suit their comforts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unlike what we see most from men, the Dark
Mother is a Destructress but her destruction is not purposeless.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She does not destroy just to destroy or
dominate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She destroys to create.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, in her cycles of growth, death, and

the re-membering of the Dark Mother in our world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is Creatrix and Destructress…and, wholly,
she is Protectress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>May more and more of

of War, or the planet of action.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In this

a challenge, and one of the main challenges Mars will be working with is easing
the extremes of emotion the Scorpio Moon will be navigating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Scorpio is Mars’s nocturnal domicile, where
Mars teaches a more measured way of action that focuses in on the underlying
motivations rather than immediate results.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And, through Pisces, the water trine vibration from Mars-Neptune to Moon
can suggest benefits from energetic healing of the emotions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In some cases, a practitioner of such healing
may be called upon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In other cases, we
may wish to find our own ways of moving the emotional state from crisis to
catharsis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Either way, such internal
movement is necessary to dissipate whatever muck we may be stuck in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While the opportunities for wise use of Mars’s
benefits will be subtle, there is no shortage of this offering of flow.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

reality checks in store for you at this time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If you’ve found yourself more inclined toward resistance (by your own
volition or not), you may find an opening into the abundant blessings through
addressing what has been holding you back from receiving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whatever you may experience in this Venusian
opening of Eclipse Season, you’ll likely feel that your values are changing at
an accelerated rate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Uncomfortable as

if we should need to sever some ties to old patterns during this eclipse

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Pluto, discovered 92 years ago
by Clyde Tombaugh in Flagstaff, Arizona, is the planet of Collective
Metamorphosis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Essentially, Pluto transits
are processes of development that span many years in the lives of Earthlings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Such metamorphosis is transpersonal in
nature, though it can feel very personal depending on the planets or angles Pluto aspects in your natal chart.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">A Pluto transit can also
incline a whole nation into dramatic transformation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While no human lifespan reaches its own Pluto
Return (Pluto has a 247.686 year orbit), nations or empires can reach that
point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rome went through 2 Pluto Returns
before it fell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>England has gone through

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Because of Pluto’s distance
from Earth, these returns are best understood in an arc of years that spans 10
degrees on either side of the exact conjunction (though, truly, we are in the
thick of it now…from 2020 through 2024).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So, from 2017 to 2028…the U.S. is going through the Pluto process of metamorphic
crisis, challenging our country toward a renaissance if we can rid ourselves of
some of our systemic, underlying toxicity. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">We could even feel the first
rumblings of our social, economic, and political structures breaking down when
Pluto first entered Saturn’s earth sign of Capricorn in 2008.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And our elders/ancestors felt the long,
grueling strain of the half-return (when Pluto was in Cancer) during the Dust
Bowl and the Great Depression.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At each
turn of its cycle, Pluto challenges us to ‘live through this crisis and thrive
through renewal’.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Pluto deals with the sometimes
very dark truths lurking below the surface of our awareness…often the secrets
we’d rather keep hidden so they won’t destroy us (or our reputation).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, many times it destroys us from the
inside out when we hide the truth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So as
our country goes through its Pluto Return Rite of Passage, the tight control
that has kept our nation’s dirty secrets mostly guarded (usually through
cover-ups, scapegoating, deflections, or carefully timed and planned distractions)
are spilling forth from apertures in the dark underbelly of all our structures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even when our attention is directed outside
our borders to vilify others, it can’t stop the shadows from leaking out here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><b>Pluto and the Wars for Wealth
and Resources<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Large-scale power plays to
assume or regain control are often a theme during these times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the closing square of our 1<sup>st</sup>
Pluto cycle (when Pluto was in Libra), NATO’s Able Archer war scare of 1983
brought the Cold War dangerously close to full-blown nuclear war.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Able Archer was an exercise that simulated
nuclear war with the Soviet Union.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Soviets genuinely feared that this was a prelude to an actual U.S. first
strike, and prepared to preempt it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Fast forward to recent news,
and preemptive measures between Russia and U.S./NATO have once again fanned the
flames of war.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On February 21<sup>st</sup>,
Russia recognized the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic and the Luhansk
People’s Republic as independent states (on the eastern border of
Ukraine).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the 22<sup>nd</sup>, Biden
said he believes Russia’s latest deployment into these areas foreshadows a
larger war and announced new sanctions that would target two Kremlin-backed
banks and restrict Russia’s government from trading its debt on Western finance
markets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Biden also promised to impose
sanctions on Russia’s elite and their families, as well as authorize the
deployment of troops and equipment to Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (three
former Soviet republics that are now members of NATO).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And since the 24<sup>th</sup>, Ukraine is now
under full-blown attack from Russian forces invading from the South, East, and
North.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Putin has made it clear that
there would be ‘catastrophic consequences’ if Western leaders intervened to
help Ukraine, which poses the threat of Russia using its substantial nuclear arsenal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the moment, it appears that Ukraine is
left to fight alone in this battle although they are seriously outmatched.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Where all of this is heading
and how much more involved the U.S. will become, we (the people) really don’t
know.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Under the Pluto Effect, there are
always much deeper motivations and plans at work that are hidden from the
public and left out of corporate media coverage…long-running power dynamics
that lead to consequences that intensify situations and impose both economic
and psychological damage on the people of the countries involved.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">What this particular part of
the discussion should be about is what the people of the Ukraine want and need,
without being influenced by the desires of superpowers outside (and now also
invading) their borders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, this
whole piece is to focus on the U.S. Pluto Return.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So it’s important to note that as far as the escalation
of this conflict goes…the U.S. desires for domination of wealth and resources has

Western Superpowers and Eastern Superpowers, as well as the front of the Savior
Archetype to justify interventions from both sides, is a very old game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In our country, corporate media propagandists
paint the picture like Russia is the only one to blame for what is happening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To be sure, the Russian military responses to
the threats of an encroaching West are of open, blatant blame.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But little is mentioned in our country of the
U.S. strategies, aided by the International Monetary Fund, that seek to open
Ukrainian markets to foreign investors so that giant, multinational
corporations can control their economy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Pressed to integrate with the
Western economy, a previous Ukrainian president (Yanukovych) decided in 2013
to restart economic negotiations with Russia instead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Months later, he was ousted in the Maidan
Revolution which was supported by the U.S. through the National Endowment for
Democracy (which is dedicated to installing and defending U.S. friendly regimes
worldwide).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">There is much more to all of
this, but the point is that neither of the superpowers most heavily involved in
Ukrainian affairs truly care about the Ukrainian people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The U.S. government, just like the Russian government, is only concerned
with their own economic and power advancements.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">What is likely is that these
are just the beginning stages of a war with a long game that U.S. and its
allies are already prepared to fight. Perhaps they're giving some time to
ensure that Putin looks like the sole aggressor so that the West can bank on that savior role?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But big as this all is

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">What we can glean from the
Astrology of the U.S. birth chart is that much of this Pluto process we’re in (and
have been in) has a lot to do with a large-scale metamorphosis in our traditional
structures around money, resources, and values (Capricorn Pluto Retrograde in
the 2<sup>nd</sup> House).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What comes to
pass through the Pluto Return of a nation is that key components of its
foundation must die to be restructured or reformed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Though much of the structure
of our U.S. government was modeled after the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois
Confederacy) Great Law of Peace, powerkeeping was more important than
peacekeeping to the white, male landowners/slaveowners who made up the
government in those days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For example,
the Haudenosaunee were matrilineal…but women were left out of the vote at the
founding of the U.S. government (and for a long time after).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, one of the great pillars of the earliest
American democracy…the Council of Grandmothers (Clan Mothers)…was conveniently
left out of the white man’s version of democracy that has carried us through a
whole Pluto cycle since.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, of course,
slavery went against the very foundation of the Great Law of Peace…but that was
conveniently overlooked as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Inequality and slavery are woven into our original foundation, even with
constitutional amendments added later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both
are systemic, and tearing us apart from the inside out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As such, it is something we must keep
revisiting and addressing until we can fully release the toxicity of it…something
that a Pluto Return process inclines us to do.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><b>Pluto Opposing U.S. Mercury<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Also prominent in the U.S.
chart is Mercury Retrograde in 8<sup>th</sup> House Cancer opposite our Pluto
Retrograde in 2<sup>nd</sup> House Capricorn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The two retrogrades signify that these planets promise some revision and
‘clean-up work’ for our nation to do over time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The opposition indicates that there is tension between these energies in
our foundation, and that a balance between them is necessary to maintain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The houses where these planets reside show
the areas of life where this revision and maintenance is needed (2<sup>nd</sup>=
House of Resources/Values/Money/Possessions, and 8<sup>th</sup>= House of
Shared Resources/Inheritance/Power Dynamics).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And while the U.S. Pluto has to do with our deeper (often hidden)
motivations, the dark underbelly of our societal foundations, and the soul
crises that urge us to transform…the U.S. Mercury has to do with how we think,
communicate, and engage in commerce.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">If we, as a nation, were on
the higher end of the spectrum of how this opposition could present itself…we
might find more value in the sustainability of renewable resources (Pluto/2<sup>nd</sup>
House/Capricorn) and balance this with thoughtful, caring commerce practices that
share such resources amongst the many families that make up the voice of our
people (Mercury/8<sup>th</sup> House/ Cancer).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, we seem to have some more retrograde revision to do in that
respect.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The current transformation brought
on by Pluto revisiting this Mercury-Pluto opposition of the U.S. is emphasizing
a strain on resources and commerce as well as media control and thought control
through propaganda.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It challenges the
voice of the people to stop bickering amongst ourselves and re-establish our common bonds (Mercury in Cancer) so that we can be heard in our full power,
demanding real change (Pluto in Capricorn) for the generations of descendants
who will follow us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhaPV33MMtZ1MI2V_d5hExy_03mZl2BFhFuY0LrE1AnEsaOFgm1QdMECcA98TSPnnOJ2240Wg0X6ZSzYzbfOYXP5BxxONELWV0xz1XrxxxwoIV_-Z7eHyZ2GLJDmcITsPXh9rfjR6Vuyj3qZ1TpNVf1Ve_F1kGChdDSbL4JPdFPb1ypfs45Rnk=s520" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="393" data-original-width="520" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhaPV33MMtZ1MI2V_d5hExy_03mZl2BFhFuY0LrE1AnEsaOFgm1QdMECcA98TSPnnOJ2240Wg0X6ZSzYzbfOYXP5BxxONELWV0xz1XrxxxwoIV_-Z7eHyZ2GLJDmcITsPXh9rfjR6Vuyj3qZ1TpNVf1Ve_F1kGChdDSbL4JPdFPb1ypfs45Rnk=s320" width="320" /></a></div><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span><p></p>

consensus in what needs to change so our country can be rebirthed in these
years?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Haudenosaunee structure advised
continued communication with each other in Council until consensus was reached…as
unanimous consensus amongst everyone in the confederacy (not just distinguished
members, and not just men) was central to their decision-making process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And their ideas of democracy are just as

also joined by Pisces Neptune’s opposition with the U.S. natal Neptune in
Virgo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Neptune is the planet of
Collective Mystification, and a myriad of deception and smoke-and-mirrors
tactics are part of the way this whole time period is being handled on a large
scale.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only thing definite in this
time is a national resistance to the necessary transformation that must occur

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Ah, but Neptune isn’t simply
about making everything confusing or deceptive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It just tends to be how big government works with Neptunian energy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s also that which blends seemingly
disparate parts into a whole…the notion that All is One…and is essentially a
creative and spiritual process supporting this Pluto metamorphosis we’ve been
moving through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Neptune energy may not
have a lot of definition in our more rational ways of viewing ourselves or the
world, but it invites us to connect with the ineffable to dream new ways into
being.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The whole combination of the
U.S. Pluto Return with the U.S. Neptune opposition can be seen in one of my
favorite processes of transformation…the metamorphosis from Caterpillar to
Butterfly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I mention it often in my
writings, as it is an apt metaphor for the kind of changes the outer planets
incline in our world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like Pluto, the
whole process of that dramatic change is guided by Natural Law.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Caterpillar grows and grows as an avid
consumer of leaves…until it cannot consume anymore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then it dances into its Chrysalis stage and
dissolves…nothing left of the Caterpillar structure but an indistinguishable
pool of goo, really.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Does the Caterpillar fight it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh yes, with every cell that identifies as
Caterpillar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, as Natural Law goes,
the process is a must.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">And then, after what appears
to be certain death (Pluto)…the imaginal cells (Neptune) take over and create
the new structure we call Butterfly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
being is transformed from a pudgy, crawling consumer of convenience into a
lightened, winged nectar-sipper with a seemingly impossible journey ahead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once fully-formed, the Butterfly breaks free
of the Chrysalis of Transformation, strengthens its new wings, then flies from
everything it previously knew…taking in the sweetness of life as a new being
with renewed purpose.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhCjRXs52lery3A3Fh0FSronk_RpKLQB7tq-JvYhXoNFQU8dn7FTnxwS3jElZIiUOIj7puSbSkn6XhCt6c7QYoQgcdlJV2dre3WJWWB3G6KRPVFlMZvc2YsMHo1AY-ZTZs-FwDAkscti3gpqXcjgn_Oky8VLwpFGrm5ZJt0gny1HvMuNbQS9wk=s403" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="403" data-original-width="403" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhCjRXs52lery3A3Fh0FSronk_RpKLQB7tq-JvYhXoNFQU8dn7FTnxwS3jElZIiUOIj7puSbSkn6XhCt6c7QYoQgcdlJV2dre3WJWWB3G6KRPVFlMZvc2YsMHo1AY-ZTZs-FwDAkscti3gpqXcjgn_Oky8VLwpFGrm5ZJt0gny1HvMuNbQS9wk=s320" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span><p></p>

evokes imagery of a large community of birds of many types, shapes, colors, and
preferences…all living together in relative (and very communicative)
harmony.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As such, learning the
transformative value of community and common welfare is integral to the collective

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The U.S. people inherently
feel community as being able to express and network their individuality in ways
that support the group (U.S. Moon in 3<sup>rd</sup> House Aquarius).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a subtle opportunity to integrate
this into our transformation, as the U.S. Moon is in a semi-sextile (30

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It is our diversity, not our
sameness, that allows us to thrive through the many crises of dramatic
change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But there is also a necessary
understanding in this to be reached…that every individual contribution affects
the whole.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In communing with each other
to bring about some much-needed change in our country (because the U.S. metamorphosis
will come from US), we need not manipulate or coerce each other toward
sameness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We must, instead, uplift each

this time of year is called Imbolc or Imbolg (both are pronounced with a soft ‘b’…similar
to the silent ‘b’ in ‘limb’).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Imbolc
refers to the washing or ‘Spring Cleaning’ after Winter dormancy, while Imbolg
means ‘in the belly’ and refers to the births that happen around this time of
year if you conceived at Beltaine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
holiday is widely celebrated in the Northern Hemisphere at the beginning of
February each year with fire festivals and feasts of purification, as the first
stirrings of Spring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is also known as
Candlemas or Christianized as The Feast of St. Brigit (Brighid is the Celtic
Goddess of fire, smithcraft, poetry, and healing that has been honored at this
time since before Christianity). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
United States and Canada have come to adopt Groundhog Day traditions (from the
Pennsylvania Dutch) this time of year, but these traditions carry remnants of
Gaelic lore as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Specifically, the
tradition of weather prediction is similar to Cailleach, the Gaelic Winter
Witch known as ‘the veiled one’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Imbolg is a cross-quarter
holiday where we celebrate in the midpoint between Solstice and Equinox.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And Astrologically, the midpoint between Sun’s
Capricorn Ingress (December Solstice) and Sun’s Aries Ingress (March Equinox)
is when Sun is in 15 degrees of Aquarius.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This year, that happens on the evening of February 3<sup>rd</sup> (or the
4<sup>th</sup> , depending on time zone).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So this New Moon is ushering in this time

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">However we each may celebrate
(or not), this New Moon in Aquarius is conjunct the planet Saturn and the
Asteroid Astraea…which may heighten a feeling of responsibility in all of
us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While Saturn inclines feelings of
responsibility that have to do with structure and sustainability, Astraea (the
Star Maiden of Justice) inclines feelings of responsibility that have to do
with fairness and providing hope for when hope seems lost (like the figure in
the Star card of the Tarot).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Together,
they take measured steps to ensure both survival and advancement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Saturn, in particular, may incline a
necessity to slow down some of this quickening Aquarius energy…as we may have
been collectively going ‘too fast, too soon’ over the past year on an
unsustainable track.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">This Aquarius stellium is also
at the apex of a T-Square pattern, feeling the necessity to take action on the
tension between Taurus Uranus and Scorpio Hygeia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This opposition between Uranus (sudden and
revolutionary change, shocks, innovations, rebellion, and unusual occurrences)
directly challenges Hygiea (named after the Goddess of preventative health and
hygiene).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These days, we are seeing this
pattern on the global scale with revolutionary energy inspiring protests that challenge
the current narrative of Tech-Pharma-Government and its control over
people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a clear demand for freedom,
choice, and a focus on truly preventative physical health measures rather than
industrial health protocols focused on financial incentives that have done more
harm than good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the dynamics of what
is stirring and awakening the world has been rather polarizing and
stressful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This lunation will no doubt
bring necessary change, but Saturn’s influence at the apex will demand that we
handle it all responsibly and with more careful orchestration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Individually, these dynamics
may bring awakenings to our own responsibilities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whatever tasks that need to get done can no
longer be procrastinated or avoided.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This lunar cycle will quicken our efforts to tackle that mountain that may
have seemed insurmountable in the past. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This may invite us to start on some cleansing/purification
efforts (that go along with the season of Imbolc)…either in the home, the body,
or even our mental state to reinvigorate our lives in some way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It may also increase our response and
engagement within our communities, bringing in Astraea’s Aquarian connection
with helpful humanitarian efforts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Whatever it may be for you, the Aquarian nature of this time offers a
glimmer of hope for the changes we are making now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">The symbol highlighted by our
luminaries at this New Moon has much to do with planning for our future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As Dane Rudhyar wrote of this symbol, it refers
to ‘the ability to discover basic natural facts that allow us to plan in
advance for action’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like with the
Groundhog or the Cailleach, we are determining the weather of what is to come
and preparing for it…but in a more scientific way (like checking the air
pressure of the barometer).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The science,
here, refers to Natural Law and its causal relationships…not human-made,
societal laws.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In ‘checking the science’
of this symbolic barometer, we can better determine what is actually happening
and what will come of it…so that we can make changes that incline better preparedness
and prevention as we move forward.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the Moon’s nodes shifted from our last lessons of the Gemini/Sagittarius axis
to the lessons of Taurus/Scorpio. The Lunar nodes, in scientific terms, are the
points where the orbit of the Moon crosses the ecliptic (which is where eclipses happen). The astrological
implications of the lunar nodes are about soul encounters, karmic lessons, the
relationship between the outmoded past and the creative future, and the
necessary balance between what we’ve already learned and no longer need to
focus on (<i>The Dragon's Tail: South Node in Scorpio</i>) and what we must learn
now, however uncomfortable and uncharted the territory, for the growth of our
souls (<i>The Dragon's Head: North Node in Taurus</i>).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="background: white; color: #222222; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

of us has our own natal nodes and lessons, which are a significant part of the
answer to the age-old questions, ‘Why am I here?’ and ‘What is my soul’s
purpose?’ But the positions of the Nodes in transit affect the collective
soul’s growth of our entire global community. So while we are each
having our own soul’s intentions directing us one way, those lessons are also
being influenced on a global scale by the current position of the
Nodes. Those who were born with North Node in Taurus will be having a
Nodal Return during this transit, which happens approximately every
18-19 years. At these initiations, the soul work that arises brings
us back to re-alignment with our soul’s path and offers us significant growth
in our journey.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

helps to better grasp the meaning behind the lunar nodes if you liken it to the
digestive process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Dragon’s Head (North
Node) consumes what the soul needs, and the Dragon’s Tail (South Node) releases
what needs to be processed out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What we
take in at the North Node can be nourishing, as long as we practice
moderation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And while we don’t want our
habits at the South Node to be like a crutch we become dependent on…we’re not
just getting rid of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The process is
more like composting, so that you can give that South Node knowledge to others
in ways that help them grow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the
center of this process, what we may call the Dragon’s Belly, is the digestion
necessary to keep it all moving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because
when this process becomes blocked (too much consumption at the Head, too much
retention at the Tail)…we tend to find ourselves in Soul Crisis. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span>There was quicksilver, mutable information flying at us from every
direction, especially through the media mainstream. The media was our main
source of information during a nodal journey through the signs of communication
and belief. We were all consuming it in some way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was unavoidable, because even if you shut
out the media entirely…the Global ‘Game of Telephone’ was retold to us through
almost any encounter with others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many
of us were soaking in as much information as was made available, in hopes we
could find answers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But ultimately, we were
collectively blocked from effective answers (to fundamental questions like ‘what
can I do immediately to protect my loved ones?’).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In this block, as information cranked up to

see in what areas of life this shift affects you personally, look to the houses
in your natal chart where Taurus and Scorpio are. The last time the
nodes were in this axis was between 2003 and 2004. Try to remember what
was going on in your life at that time to get an idea of what is to come now,
after maturing since then. Astrology follows patterns, and recognizing those
patterns can help you to work with the energies when they come around again.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="background: white; color: #222222; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p><br /></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">The first Full Moon of 2022
illuminates the watery lunar realm of Cancer, where Moon feels most at
home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Resonating with the womb wisdom of
this sign, Moon shines the fullness of her caring protection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Connecting with the Full Cancer Moon is like
receiving a familiar hug, especially if you were born under a Cancer Moon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Difficult as Capricorn season
can be for many of us, this is a time when the hard-work of Saturn brings us back
home to our inner circle of loved ones for comfort and emotional support.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It may have been uncomfortable in the past
couple of weeks to let down our guard and just be vulnerable amidst so many
changes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Going inward has been a
significant part of the process we’ve been navigating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But Moon in Cancer shines her light on the
emotional bonds that sustain us through hard times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This Full Moon is a celebration of the
nurturance that comes from those who are close to us.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">There is much physical
separation inherent in this time, but Moon calls to the memory of our own
waters…which can communicate to and from anyone through feeling, even if many miles
away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With Cancer Moon’s psychic energy
on high…the stronger the bond, the more connected we feel (no matter the
distance).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your own memories may call
you to call up a loved one and check in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Or you may find that everything you need at this time is right there at
home with you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wherever you find
yourself during this Full Moon, remember to nurture yourself with as much care
as you nurture others.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh1OGQgFeT9RGilnbz3Hl_sgbLtL_MyUC9jvSe-PvYdYupXZ6SDMdHsVb53DGgtFUHoi_XiitTrATEO9T1XCihWxZTKS3wJ4I1g3xk1CFQTnnKPXvkunFGUQpoMOgr6nzTtapnDx6n3EPleO4MzIe0IP3-weUjskqou0jbDJX4gH3u6Z9SK2_c=s494" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="440" data-original-width="494" height="356" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh1OGQgFeT9RGilnbz3Hl_sgbLtL_MyUC9jvSe-PvYdYupXZ6SDMdHsVb53DGgtFUHoi_XiitTrATEO9T1XCihWxZTKS3wJ4I1g3xk1CFQTnnKPXvkunFGUQpoMOgr6nzTtapnDx6n3EPleO4MzIe0IP3-weUjskqou0jbDJX4gH3u6Z9SK2_c=w400-h356" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Art by Lisa Evans</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">To help in this opportunity
for nurturance, Moon is in a supportive sextile with Ceres and SednaRx in
Taurus and Moon’s North Node in Gemini (transitioning to Taurus).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Soul encounters as we connect with others
bring benefits of feeling cared for after crisis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This also strengthens the protective nature
of the nurturance we’re receiving from this Moon…where even if things have been
looking bleak, we are comforted now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Moon is also in good
relationship with Jupiter in Pisces at this time, through a 5<sup>th</sup>
Harmonic aspect called a bi-quintile (144 degrees).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This subtle aspect brings the celebratory
feel of this Full Moon, because it increases the possibility of arriving at
creative solutions to issues that were previously problematic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A little positivity goes a long way.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Because what were feeling most
is Moon’s reflection of Capricorn Sun conjunct Pluto and Juno.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re nearing the end of Capricorn season, as
Sun will ingress Aquarius in a couple days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And Capricorn season is a time each year when we focus on our
responsibilities and how we can improve upon the ways we provide security and
structure for ourselves and others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re
often trying to get organized from Solstice to mid-January, working on prioritizing
the things we can no longer let slide.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Venus
has been retrograde in Capricorn too, helping to revise what is truly valuable
in our lives.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">So Sun conjunct Pluto and Juno
is highlighting the deep dive into lessons of commitment, especially in
partnership.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ultimately, Juno with Pluto
works to empower us through crisis…but this is not without the difficult task
of letting go of some of the things that just aren’t working for us
anymore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re changing, after all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re becoming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And we can’t become what we’re meant to
become while still clinging to all that once was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">For some, these tests of
commitment during transformation will strengthen partnerships and bring people
closer together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For others, the very
test they are going through is saying farewell to relationships that have run
their course.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This has been the theme
lately, and the theme endures beyond this lunar cycle…but Cancer Moon at her
fullness reminds us that we’ll be okay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Scary as it can sometimes be to change, and painful as these growing
pains can be…we must remember to be gentle with ourselves in the process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">As this story opened, Mercury was
in the middle of a stellium conjunction between VenusRx and Pluto in
Capricorn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just days away from 2021
becoming 2022, and our minds were fully engaged in the deep transformations of
heart and soul through crisis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of
us were being pulled beyond our will to let go of things we have loved or
valued for some time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Out with the old, in with the
new…we have gone back and forth with this expression for two years now as the
planets continue navigating their shifts between Saturn’s signs of Capricorn
and Aquarius.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes we have really
gone deep into our history, dusting it off and reworking it like new.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Other times, we’re on a fast track with the
new systems being incorporated into our lives, and even a couple years ago is a
long-distance memory.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But this particular Mercury
Retrograde journey may take us through more of an ‘out with the new, in with
the old’ perspective before we can fully move forward with a sustainable
mindset for 2022.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So be ready to
question everything you thought was real when this story began.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Along with Mercury, we’ll be
re-thinking those Saturnian societal structures of Capricorn and Aquarius in
our lives…getting very thoughtful about it…and then moving forward again with
what we’ve learned. On January 2<sup>nd</sup>, Mercury’s initial ingress into
Aquarius has felt like new ideas of togetherness after separation…but the
Cosmic Storyteller is slowing down now to help us rediscover something important
we may have missed along our way.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Mercury stations in the 11<sup>th</sup>
degree of Aquarius, where the Sabian Symbol is ‘during a silent hour, a man receives
new inspiration which may change his life’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Of course, we may only get a glimpse of that inspiration surrounding
this station.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re not quite ready for
the full understanding of it yet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ll
have to retrograde back from it first before returning to it on February 23<sup>rd</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The collective mental pause of
Mercury’s station on the 14<sup>th</sup> is a cue from the Storyteller to focus
our attention before we rewind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m
sure, if you’ve been following along with Mercury’s retrogrades, you may have
noticed humans (including you and me, at times) being a bit more
scatter-brained than focused during Mercury’s shifts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Out of every living creature on Gaia’s earth,
our attention is the most variable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have
surrounded ourselves in so much human-made stimuli that it can become nearly
impossible to focus our own minds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But that’s precisely where
Mercury’s magical trickery comes in for these retrogrades…pointing out our
thoughts, our ideas, and the way we’re communicating…then flipping the script
on us so we can refocus and revise. At the initial station, we are often
riddled with all the mental matter accumulated from one Mercury cycle (this one
began in Libra on 10/9/21).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re now
ready to begin releasing all that has been on our minds so that we can create
some space for the next Mercury cycle (beginning in Aquarius on 1/26/22), where
new thoughtseeds are planted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">As we release, we return to
the sextile opportunity between Mercury and Chiron that was first introduced on
the 9<sup>th</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This sextile offers
healing communication that can get to the heart of a wound and clear it
out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be aware of the teachers around you
(with Mercury, these teachers may even be quite young)…they have some healing
wisdom to share with you if you are willing to listen, observe, or engage.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">On the 23<sup>rd</sup>, when
MercuryRx begins a new cycle, open yourself to the messages you’re
receiving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Sabian Symbol of the
degree for this solar conjunction (AQU 4) is ‘a Hindu Healer’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tuning into the spiritual realm will help to
clear your mind for what piece of the Collective Mind wants to come
through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Now, with a new mindset…we
re-enter the realm of Capricorn with MercuryRx.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Something we’ve seen before (perhaps time and time again)
looks…different.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s the magic of
looking at things with fresh eyes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re
beginning to pick up on things from the past that we overlooked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From this retrograde perspective, we’re much
more observant. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">A second trine from MercuryRx
to the North Lunar Node may bring us to soul encounters that deepen what we
experienced the first time around (1/2/22).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is closely followed by MercuryRx returning to a conjunction with
Pluto that deepens the internal thought process, uncovering hidden gems we sped
past during that initial conjunction (12/30/21).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Deep thoughts are where we will find
ourselves over the couple of weeks surrounding Mercury’s direct station while
hovering near Pluto.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For some, it may
feel like mental crisis…but it is all part of the process of freeing the mind
through necessary change.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Mercury stations direct on
February 3<sup>rd</sup> in the 25<sup>th</sup> degree of Capricorn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Sabian Symbol here is ‘an oriental rug
dealer’, a symbol that blends spirituality, tradition, and commerce.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We return here, in the degree Mercury first
visited more swiftly on 12/29/21, to slow down and take some time to rediscover
what the mind needs to move forward again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There is great comfort in something woven with time-honored wisdom that
calls us toward practical spirituality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is something we can use wisely now as we journey forward with
Mercury.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But first, sit for a spell on
this magic carpet before we wrap up this retrograde story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Soak it in. Pause with Mercury to think about
the journey we’ve been on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve come a
long way since the end of 2021, and we learned something quite valuable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The week following this
station brings us to a 3<sup>rd</sup> and final conjunction between Mercury and
Pluto.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What first came across our minds
on 12/30/21, then we revisited on a deeper level on 1/28, now has the
opportunity to be integrated into our lives in transformative ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We may return to some deep thoughts we’d
previously been mulling over, but we have new perspective on it that we can
move forward with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Soon after, Mercury
is trine the North Lunar Node one last time to amplify the soul encounters that
can aid our transformation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">By the 14<sup>th</sup>,
Mercury is back in Aquarius to move the progress forward…connecting our own
pieces of the New Mercury message with others in collaboration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This opens us into the growing healing
messages that can spread when Mercury revisits the sextile with Chiron on the
23<sup>rd</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The life-changing inspiration,
that we caught a mere glimpse of in the retrograde station, returns with more clarity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re ready for it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve now journeyed thrice over these 16
degrees of Capricorn and Aquarius with Mercury, and these lessons are fully
integrated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now it’s time to really use
what we’ve learned, and let inspiration guide us forth.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

beginnings of 2022, where our luminaries align to initiate our Capricorn

nights of Winter or the long days of Summer in your hemisphere, Capricorn (as
Saturn’s nocturnal domicile) is inherently a cold and dry kind of energy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is what is known as a ‘melancholic’ temperament…which
necessitates movement, circulation, and cleansing hydration to keep from
getting stagnant or brittle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Capricorn
is a cardinal sign, so the initiatory energy of it is there…but those
initiations move through solid earth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So
Capricorn beginnings also necessitate practicality and a little more time investment
than the other Cardinal signs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As you

a flowing earth trine from our luminaries to Uranus in Taurus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Uranus is infusing this New Moon with

yourself on what you can accomplish this month if you put the Saturnian effort

Moon, is not averse to forward-thinking progress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So even though the Saturn-Uranus square is
still actively involved in the struggle between the old and the new…we’re no
longer able to fully cling to the ‘old ways’ of doing things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is apparent we must move forward and

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">This is a very soulful process
we’re all feeling, especially as it relates to our values and our
relationships, but it also intensifies the necessity of releasing that which is
dying, served its purpose, and run its course.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Past relationships often resurface during Venus Retrograde times, as
well as past transgressions in these relationships.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This one, with Pluto’s influence, might bring
up some particularly heavy or even traumatic parts of our past to be worked
through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This part of the long-running
transformation that has been happening in Capricorn since 2008 (when Pluto first
entered this sign) may require a change of heart in all of us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, individually, that will look different
for each of us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, collectively, we’ll
be seeing a dramatic alteration in traditions that were once valuable to us but
no longer reflect our collective values.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Already, we can see some of
these processes unfolding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For one example,
what once held the derogatory name of Squaw Mountain in Colorado is now being
renamed Mestaa’eahehe Mountain (pronounced mess-taw-HAY) in honor of an
influential translator and mediator in the early 19<sup>th</sup> century, also
known as Owl Woman.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Venus, as the
quintessential feminine planet, often venerates women’s roles in relating,
bringing things (and people) together, and reconciliation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Venus in Capricorn also highlights the crucial
role of the Wise Woman or the Council of Grandmothers who are important pillars
of our society that have often been degraded (such as in the term ‘squaw’) or dismissed
(such as the ageism that plagues our elder women) in modern society.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this time, we’ll see more and more
instances of them rising up to reclaim their power to guide us into values that
are more sustainable.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEicMTxm_9Pd92OPimoC9-Jx6SpoJ2VFeBqCw2Nz6w6pgwl6IuppIzDSaALVC_TDZdEqzKE2h3Ta2hDKOMhKtDqrX8V9kjTjk0uH-2_fEXOlSgilJsTWv_SO2kDZaZKLGDtutXFp5qC_q2OahwfZT2vVpMDr89mku58vJK7RX2m0dRPirK0MBZc=s960" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEicMTxm_9Pd92OPimoC9-Jx6SpoJ2VFeBqCw2Nz6w6pgwl6IuppIzDSaALVC_TDZdEqzKE2h3Ta2hDKOMhKtDqrX8V9kjTjk0uH-2_fEXOlSgilJsTWv_SO2kDZaZKLGDtutXFp5qC_q2OahwfZT2vVpMDr89mku58vJK7RX2m0dRPirK0MBZc=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Venus entered Capricorn on
November 5<sup>th</sup>, but it was November 17<sup>th</sup> when she first
entered the degrees of Capricorn that she will soon be retracing through her
retrograde.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From that day until December
19<sup>th</sup>, we were going through our first introductions of the kinds of
changes she means to inspire in us throughout the course of this transition
(which will come to a close in early March 2022).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">This introduction has already
brought up some difficult matters of the heart and soul.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Pluto is in the mix, things can feel
heavier, more intense, or more crucial.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
the higher octave of Mars (which has much to do with the will to act), Pluto has
to do with the deeper actions of rebirth that are beyond the will.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In other words, Pluto inclines the
transformation processes that will happen whether we are willing or not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is the inner workings within the chrysalis…or
the phoenix reborn from the ashes.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj8nbThgU3hRtNbF_gp_qm7LdLvY6Z7RG1ucrJXaPXXN39w_XlFsLKCcUAbo1SvqDqLykaTgnO3__DpEpxnXZSX1bvrb4vupNCgSmBdcwibvExo_mJaxeI7NN1ODOIOeWWIGUDcfCcS0nphwnavgacEZRQiwpqMq6PwaYfIxekfHZAs2gKyFcg=s600" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="318" data-original-width="600" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj8nbThgU3hRtNbF_gp_qm7LdLvY6Z7RG1ucrJXaPXXN39w_XlFsLKCcUAbo1SvqDqLykaTgnO3__DpEpxnXZSX1bvrb4vupNCgSmBdcwibvExo_mJaxeI7NN1ODOIOeWWIGUDcfCcS0nphwnavgacEZRQiwpqMq6PwaYfIxekfHZAs2gKyFcg=w400-h213" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">'From the Ashes', artist unknown</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></p>

largely terrified by the idea of losing anything we know well and surrendering
to the life-altering changes that restructure our lives into ‘something
else’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It becomes a crisis, and often
those crises bring us to total collapse before we can begin to rebuild what is
necessary from all that has changed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
yet, when we must…we must.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">We may be in a process of
saying farewell to something we held tightly to in the past, whether it was
good for us or not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of us may find
ourselves questioning the longevity of certain relationships in our lives, or
even our own ways of relating with others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Ideas, concepts, or structures of love, money, beauty, or anything that
we may hold as valuable…any of it could be up for review as Venus slows down to
retrograde and shift our perspective.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The thing about Capricorn (or
any sign of the Earth element for that matter), is that anything that expresses
through Earth is concerned with practicality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Capricorn, in particular, is an Earth sign that administers practicality
through objective orchestration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Capricorn way is ultimately one that works to provide practical changes that
will endure the tests of time. Sustainable change doesn’t often happen
overnight (especially during a year where Saturn square Uranus is the dominant
theme).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is an incremental process that
addresses what is systemic in the roots of a thing, and that requires some wise
and careful planning and implementation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Therefore, much of the Capricornian change is happening ‘underground’,
so to speak.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that on the surface, we
may wonder if anything is really changing at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This can bring us humans, who have largely
been conditioned to value both convenience and immediate gratification of our
desires, into worry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The worry is that
the rot that threatens our roots is quicker and more powerful than our potential
to reverse the damage done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But the
Capricorn way is often to be prepared for any challenge…making its way from sea
level to mountain top one sure-footed step at a time.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiasFHq8AdPtS0idbSf1NPGK4hPmJsAEJ-hB-7vJ2nUYOaM4Za-DHPlwjyaDHiILW9DjpDXJ8NqptCwrBVPUJr-cRZ9owTf6ppFygHIBltYRmxM7gizsr3iiiRVFi8U55F7nUrDhqkpm-CFgQ4tIDmun3KZotfNTQd6_wot8ENoBVjN2j3W0-A=s1200" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiasFHq8AdPtS0idbSf1NPGK4hPmJsAEJ-hB-7vJ2nUYOaM4Za-DHPlwjyaDHiILW9DjpDXJ8NqptCwrBVPUJr-cRZ9owTf6ppFygHIBltYRmxM7gizsr3iiiRVFi8U55F7nUrDhqkpm-CFgQ4tIDmun3KZotfNTQd6_wot8ENoBVjN2j3W0-A=w400-h266" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">'Capricorn' from Cyril Rolando's Dancing Zodiac</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></p>

lessons have been important for the whole world to experience on a deeper level
since 2008, but they are even more crucial for the people (and the government)
of the United States to learn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
country was founded when Pluto was in Capricorn (27 degrees tropical Capricorn,
or 5 degrees sidereal Capricorn).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pluto
reaches 27 tropical Capricorn in February 2022 and 5 degrees sidereal Capricorn
in 2024…which is a two year window where the U.S. is building up to its first
Pluto Return, a significant Rite of Passage for any nation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">On either side of this
national Rite of Passage, transmutations (beyond the will of the country) will
happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a long and often grueling
process that leads to a completely new expression of our national soul through
crisis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have been through a couple
years now of the Separation phase of this Rite of Passage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And for the next two years, we will be
Crossing the Threshold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then in 2024, we
will be in the Integration phase of this Pluto Return, where we gradually begin
to express the deeper meaning behind this Capricorn change through Pluto in
tropical Aquarius.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">So with Venus showing us how
to rebirth in Capricorn at this time, her dance with Pluto is wise medicine for
the resilience of heart and soul through hard times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we Earthlings dance along with our sister
planet, we celebrate the beauty of these Solstice days we are entering and the shifts

Earth, this Full Moon shines bright blessings to guide us beyond the strong
pull of eclipse season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a Grand
Air Trine between Moon (Gemini), Jupiter (Aquarius), and Hygiea (Libra) that
forms a Kite pattern…anchored in the Sagittarius fires of Sun aligning with the
center of our galaxy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This pattern can
be rather uplifting, especially with Jupiter involved.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And it is ultimately communicative and
friendly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Gemini is Mercury’s diurnal
sign, so a Gemini Full Moon is naturally a time when we feel like
communicating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Messenger planet is
currently in Capricorn, inclining our communication to be practical and
useful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And yet, the Moon is reflecting
the light of the Sagittarius Sun conjunct Galactic Center…where an abundance of
information is pouring in right now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So
the invitation is to determine what of the many messages we are receiving now
carries the most practical wisdom for each of us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Jupiter’s trine facilitates
amplification and growth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hygiea’s trine
facilitates health and well-being practices that prevent illness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And with this Grand Trine in Air signs, the
focus of these positive energies is on our mental health.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may ask yourself at this time, what can I
do to strengthen my mental health while preparing for the holidays and the
coming year?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The inclination is to reach
out and connect with others, share ideas, and spread some happiness
around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a chance to lighten things
up a bit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sagittarius, the anchor point
of this Full Moon Kite pattern, is Jupiter’s diurnal sign.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And Jupiter, the planet of Luck and Expansion,
is ultimately a jovial influence (a bit like a Cosmic ‘Santa Claus’).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjBW-6LBxHLNOw5KvhejM-Ms2B-hxmUF8S_OPytb5CRvThC4jSs2E7G9RHD60sWwWpBMmOhg-MfGUZ4rV2TKkgw8jm8QpaaFi8ymCIH0rNXUjTNvDwqCOb_Tx2s-RssotHmwLgB3l-n2rQuDACAOwClbiAtCQTiaRmTHd3QFvAjY45s3zCcx1s=s789" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="789" data-original-width="526" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjBW-6LBxHLNOw5KvhejM-Ms2B-hxmUF8S_OPytb5CRvThC4jSs2E7G9RHD60sWwWpBMmOhg-MfGUZ4rV2TKkgw8jm8QpaaFi8ymCIH0rNXUjTNvDwqCOb_Tx2s-RssotHmwLgB3l-n2rQuDACAOwClbiAtCQTiaRmTHd3QFvAjY45s3zCcx1s=w266-h400" width="266" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo Art by Amy Lynn</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span></p>

medicine right now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, it usually
is…but the current cosmic climate indicates that its effects are even more
potent and far-reaching.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So even if you
have been riddled with worry or overwhelmed with sadness lately (or you have

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">While the totality of this
Solar Eclipse will only be seen from Antarctica, it will still have a strong
pull on the rest of the globe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Moon
is very close to our Earth (perigee) right now, and we’re feeling that
proximity to the Mother Mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the
same time, our luminaries (which are also conjunct Mercury and Vesta at this
New Moon) are conjunct a faraway intergalactic destination called ‘The Great
Attractor’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So dispatches from the ‘Great
Beyond’ are contained within the seed of this Solar Eclipse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It has proved difficult to
define the Great Attractor, which goes right along with the way of Sagittarius.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This mutable fire sign expands our vision
into the ‘Big Picture’ view rather than focusing in on the details and
definition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What we know of the Great
Attractor, though, is that it is a gravitational pull point in the Laniakea
Supercluster (a vast collection of superclusters of galaxies that includes our
own galaxy).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The GA is a gravitational anomaly
in that it functions like a black hole (it warps space, time, and light) but,
unlike a black hole, it has no event horizon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It also appears to be pulling galaxies toward it (Milky Way Galaxy
included)…hence the ‘attractive’ name.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>GA
falls within the ‘Zone of Avoidance’ (where objects in that direction of our
sky are obscured by the galactic plane of the Milky Way), making it difficult
to observe directly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However,
observation of the motion of galaxies and their peculiar velocity as they are
drawn toward the GA shows the anomaly is a localized concentration of mass
millions of times more massive than the Milky Way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Astrologically, when our
luminaries or planets are conjunct this area of our sky, we are drawn into the
gravity of something we aren’t even completely conscious of (if we are
conscious of it at all).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We may act out
the anomaly in our own lives in various ways, often becoming fixated on
something that is inherently mutable and in motion…a moving target, as it often
is with Sagittarian goals explored.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
with the Moon obscuring the Sun at this total solar eclipse, we may be faced
with a fixation on some shadow material being revealed to us in our natal house
where Sagittarius resides.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">As Mercury is also conjunct
this Great Attractor Solar Eclipse, there is an intergalactic invitation to release
old thought patterns that have only served to hold us fixed when we are meant
to move.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is an eclipse near the
South Node of the Moon, so the shadows revealed to us now may go far into our
past.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And with Mercury’s more personal
influence bringing messages in from the more transpersonal influence of the
Great Attractor, things that were once hidden in our own ‘Zones of Avoidance’ may
be observed in both our own thoughts and in the way we are communicating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

conjunct Vesta, revealing some of the shadow effects of what we have previously
been devoted to and inviting us to dedicate ourselves to a new way of serving
in our rapidly changing times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With a
supportive sextile to Saturn in Aquarius from this Sagittarius Stellium, we
will see our best potential when working constructively with others to build
sound foundations from our ideas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
the square to Pallas Athene in Pisces from this Sagittarius stellium further
highlights the necessity of changing our patterns of avoidance or escapism…facing
them instead as a path to wisdom.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

what it is like to experience a South Node Total Solar Eclipse conjunct the
Great Attractor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eclipses, in general,
tend to bring up the notion of karma in some way…that something already set in
motion returns to be addressed and (hopefully) resolved.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And if we attempt to avoid it or escape it,
it only pulls us in stronger…not allowing us to fully move forward unless we
face it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the symbol, the widow’s past
is ‘brought to light’ so that she may move forward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This happens with a solar eclipse too…where the
light of the Sun is momentarily blocked by the Moon, then Moon passes through
and the light returns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Essentially,
shadows of our past return to be dealt with…momentarily obscuring our usual
state of consciousness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By bringing such
things to light, we may resolve those issues and move forward into something
new.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

one arc minute away) the Ascendant of our country’s natal chart (the Sibley
chart).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So while the visible path of
this eclipse does not go through our country, the energy of this eclipse has a
direct effect on how we are showing up in this world right now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In essence, the shadows of our U.S. history
are rising to be seen in what we, as a country, are showing to the world…whether
any of us like it or not…through our response to our current global

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The Earth’s shadow upon the
Moon’s surface shows us our own shadows at each lunar eclipse, reflecting them
back to us through the strong emotional pull of the Mother Mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During this lunar eclipse, Moon is close to
her apogee (where she is farther from Earth).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So, while some of us with natal planets aspected may be feeling it very
personally, this lunar eclipse has more association with a broader collective
shadow we need to address.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Bringing in even more farther-reaching
associations, this lunar eclipse will be close to the Pleiades from our earthly
view, conjunct the fixed star Algol, and conjunct the trans-Neptunian dwarf
planet Sedna.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is those last two
conjunctions that will have a significant effect on how this eclipse
acceleration plays out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">There is quite a lot of symbolism
in both the mythic storyline of Medusa (Algol is the ‘eye star’ of Medusa’s
head in the Perseus constellation) and the mythic storyline of Sedna (the Inuit
Goddess of the Ocean).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where the stories
overlap is that both Medusa and Sedna were mistreated, cast aside (from society
or from family), and ultimately used as Scapegoats for the protection of others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another overlap is that they were both scorned
women who threatened the established order of things, but became even more
powerful once they were transformed (Medusa into a Gorgon, Sedna into the Ocean
Mother).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">As one of the Behenian stars,
Algol is a potent influence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a
binary star where, every 69 hours, it dims in magnitude for 10 hours before
returning to brightness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So essentially,
there’s a light side and a dark side to Algol’s influence…but it’s that dark
side that is often dwelled upon most (because, especially to the men who
proliferate patriarchal tales, there is nothing scarier than a woman scorned
having power).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And so we often hear how
violent, destructive, and unfortunate Algol’s influence can be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ultimately, Algol contributes a great deal of
passion and protection (especially to oppressed minorities, outcasts, and
exiles).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But this star can also incline
rage and victimization.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Essentially,
whether literally or symbolically, there’s an increased chance that someone (or
many) might ‘lose their head’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sometimes, it’s even a ‘Head of State’ or person in a powerful position
becoming demonized or falling out of favor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When things go wrong, the inclination is to find a Scapegoat to carry
the ‘sins of the sinners’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX411NskNkDKwzl-9ivfCOBI1CtR_4ry4AheKcL4Hl7mVl-jycj7ieOjyrmny2XjJhPEJ5mKj4BuMSQHtSLAxh30TWLAKcDLNIuZisLQTgG1zadET8pyA1KKqBdPwvbcOV7IbVYg/s1346/257778999_10159345635065622_1411899402115035677_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1346" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX411NskNkDKwzl-9ivfCOBI1CtR_4ry4AheKcL4Hl7mVl-jycj7ieOjyrmny2XjJhPEJ5mKj4BuMSQHtSLAxh30TWLAKcDLNIuZisLQTgG1zadET8pyA1KKqBdPwvbcOV7IbVYg/w321-h400/257778999_10159345635065622_1411899402115035677_n.jpg" width="321" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Salvador Dali, who was born with Mars conjunct Algol,<br />paints Medusa's head on his wife, Gala.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Afterall, Medusa really didn’t
do anything wrong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was Neptune who
raped her in Minerva’s temple. But Medusa was transformed into a monster, forced
to carry the blame.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As the fearsome
Gorgon, Medusa’s gaze was so petrifying that it could turn one to stone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The enduring shadow of this eclipse may have
a similar, symbolic effect…where the ‘freeze’ response to what arises may
temporarily halt us from moving forward on something.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And as the eclipse lifts, Algol’s gaze may be
turned toward another monster (as it was when Perseus held Medusa’s head to
petrify the Sea Monster, Cetus (the ‘Kracken), sent to kill the innocent
Andromeda, who is just another Scapegoat)…a more destructive monster that has
been lurking beneath the Scapegoat story we’re fed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is where the protective nature of Algol
becomes apparent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">What Medusa’s story can teach
us at this time is that victimization, and victim blaming, can have a
disastrous effect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be wary of it where
you see it (in your personal experience or in the news)…and turn Medusa’s
stone-cold gaze upon it to stop it in its tracks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">This Lunar Eclipse is also
conjunct Sedna, bringing back many of the issues of our human impact on the
rising sea levels that were highlighted during the Blue Moon in August this
year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For a recap about Sedna’s growing

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The elites recently finished
their COP26 Climate Conference in Glasgow with little to nothing to show for it,
even after such unprecedented events occurred at Greenland’s ice sheet summit
this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And this eclipse may show the
accelerated shadow of such indecision.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">This may bring us back to
another part of Sedna’s mythic storyline that correlates with Medusa’s…the
betrayal of Sedna.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To make a long story
short, Sedna was forced to marry a ‘Bird-Man’ that mistreated her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her father, feeling guilty for his role in
this decision, came to rescue her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, when Sedna swam to her father’s boat…the Bird-Man was enraged
and created a storm so fierce that Sedna’s father became afraid for his
life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So he cut off Sedna’s fingers that
were clinging to his boat…and she sank into the Ocean.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her severed fingers became the ocean animals
and Sedna became the Mother of the Ocean.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy0qlH01pLXydWDY9tXPpwWIkTaUZQ-A9oFNpYck_bTIaj5VMsvMwftPmgJpPoXTIful95oa5Z072SfZjcIZVV-b6Rm7K3z6NNJLtioWW5vgMztY-KUk8PPfZz6hYq30fryE2_Jg/s600/Sedna+by+Genevieve+Cseh.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy0qlH01pLXydWDY9tXPpwWIkTaUZQ-A9oFNpYck_bTIaj5VMsvMwftPmgJpPoXTIful95oa5Z072SfZjcIZVV-b6Rm7K3z6NNJLtioWW5vgMztY-KUk8PPfZz6hYq30fryE2_Jg/w400-h400/Sedna+by+Genevieve+Cseh.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">'Sedna' by Genevieve Cseh</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Sedna was betrayed by men who
were supposed to love and protect her, and she became the Scapegoat for the
sins of her father.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Clearly, the Ocean
Goddess is still being betrayed and cut off from the human world…and in the
Blue Moon post, her response to such mistreatment is laid out (along with our
path to righting those wrongs).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With
this eclipse showing our collective shadow more clearly, we have to face it one
way or another.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">One more thing about this
Lunar Eclipse in Taurus is that it is in Venus’s earth sign, where Moon is
exalted (which means the Moon is well supported to do what the Moon needs to
do).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Venus is currently in Capricorn,
the earth sign of Saturn, where she takes on the role of Wise Woman and orchestrates
actions that are both structured and sustainable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Venus is also currently out-of-bounds from
the ecliptic, so there is still quite a bit of out-of-the-box expression to her
influence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Creative ideas for structure
and sustainability are more likely to come from places that are ‘off the beaten
path’, or collaborations that might seem out of the ordinary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our planet of relationships is now in the 12<sup>th</sup>
degree of Capricorn where she will return to through her coming retrograde…so
much of what she is showing us now will go through a process of revision in the
months to come.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

sign, Capricorn, to set forth a malefic directive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mars energy thrives with a solid Capricornian
mission…but along the way to where we are heading (the Closing Square), this
initial agreement became a bit (well, a lot more) volatile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioEE-MX_5YsG4NKVaMVWFY-pbRwlR6b6Ncv4cyxRl8jHp7VVdsQBh7Re00dxVHpW9sz0wAFDsNQgBX1PyRon6S_uw_1FeSL0q6ypPMWzkvC40qudSRgaQITvXnhUCtZYGNEX-UQA/s500/R.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="366" data-original-width="500" height="234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioEE-MX_5YsG4NKVaMVWFY-pbRwlR6b6Ncv4cyxRl8jHp7VVdsQBh7Re00dxVHpW9sz0wAFDsNQgBX1PyRon6S_uw_1FeSL0q6ypPMWzkvC40qudSRgaQITvXnhUCtZYGNEX-UQA/s320/R.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Mars and Saturn were in
agreement until their Opening Squares in August and September 2020, then with a
final opening square in fixed signs by January 2021.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a long transit through Aries, extended
by a retrograde, Mars was strengthened by his diurnal fire energy and said ‘to
hell’ with Saturn’s rules.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So by the
time the two malefics were in fixed signs (Mars in Taurus and Saturn in
Aquarius), the resistance had firmly set in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But the volatility of the
malefics squaring off was amplified into unusual territory once Mars brought
Uranus in Taurus to the fray during the 1<sup>st</sup> month of 2021.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By the Mars-Saturn opposition in July this
year, all the tension between the malefics was pooled into Uranus in Taurus (at
the apex of that T-Square).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the true
grassroots of rebellion grew in that stirred-up Taurean earth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we make our way to this closing square
(November 10<sup>th</sup>), Mars has been reborn with the power to fully
challenge the Saturnian societal systems that more and more people are fighting
to rise above.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It’s the position of being ‘underneath’
a ‘power over’ that brings the ‘power of many’ to strike back and demand change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can see this in the union strikes
happening all over the world…from nurses to production workers and all manner
of strikers in between.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s likely
happening within you individually as well…with whatever that internal battle
has been for you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There’s a ‘last straw’
feeling to it…and it’s being incorporated into this New Moon so we, the people,
can really FEEL it throughout this Lunar cycle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The difference now is that the
luminaries are in strong opposition to Uranus in Taurus (closest to Earth in
its orbit that it can be, even visible to some naked eye sky watchers).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is an opposition that Mars is heading toward
now too (November 17<sup>th</sup>).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Individually, we can do much
to ground ourselves and use this energy in innovative ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But collectively, things can get volatile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Still, that volatility can also enact real
change if we learn to harness it together and put it into progress for our
progeny.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The voice of our youth in these
larger battles will also be amplified as Mercury conjoins Mars in Scorpio (November
10<sup>th</sup>, during the Closing Square of Mars-Saturn).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So it’s best to consider our children (and
their future) as integral to our motivation to rise up from underneath the
weight that’s been holding us down.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The pressure from the
Scorpio-Taurus oppositions this month is challenging the Saturnian
establishment to make a choice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we
can wisely tap into this demand for change, we have the upper hand right now to
make it imperative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One can only hope
that this will all go well for the collective…because there will be some unanticipated
Uranian ‘curve-balls’ thrown in to respond to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But, clearly, something’s gotta give to make way for new trajectories.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

involved, the need to try out experimental methods to reveal a truth is at
hand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We become very resourceful and
inventive in the moment, sometimes even shocking ourselves with such spontaneous
ingenuity and revelation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So the combination
of Moon, Sun, and the asteroid Minerva (Goddess of Wisdom) in this degree,
opposing Uranus, highlights the need to explore all the patterns merging together
as an awakening of deeper wisdom coming forth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>To harness the power within this time for something that brings progressive
change to our world…we must also approach this with some humility.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are forces at play that are far beyond
our human scope and desires, and as we employ our own free will to explore what
they have to reveal to us this month, understand that those cosmic forces are
more timeless than our mortal lives can claim as our own invention.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">This Full Moon will no doubt
be a dynamic one…it’s why we’ve been needing so much rest leading up to
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The dwarf planet Eris, named after
the goddess of strife, is conjunct this Moon in Aries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is opposing Mars, who is conjunct the Sun
in Libra.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And this opposition creates a
T-Square with Pluto in Capricorn at the apex (where all the tension from the
opposition pools and demands action).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Eris and Mars (Ares) are
warrior siblings, usually working together on the battlefield…but they are
currently at odds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And this opposition heightens
the enduring Pluto-Eris square that has been exact 5 times between January 2020
and this month.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The added Libra element,
this time, puts more pressure on Pluto in Capricorn to respond with dramatic alterations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">When Eris is in the mix (and
she’s been stirring the pot for years now), an element creeps into our
unassuming lives to wreak all havoc (you know, like a virus that changes
everything).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s not that Eris seeks to
destroy, though.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her intentions are to
reveal what is false about the status quo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And there’s nothing like a bit of chaotic crisis (which is at the crux
of this long-running Pluto-Eris square) to show us how out of integrity we
humans have become.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQO2-_O4ewlg868t8epX9EAiiZpNAiEGrb9ovcfYUYGQ6U76Xjbv1FpF1gEl-plSS9XkC69KCJ0Ph_e0_YZzK3Yi39MdHdeLnLAKEBsyd_svY_GYMs-O27HsgP0eqLadK_cYZUQ/s564/2a4fff191beb6cc434e6366139ac7e68.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="398" data-original-width="564" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQO2-_O4ewlg868t8epX9EAiiZpNAiEGrb9ovcfYUYGQ6U76Xjbv1FpF1gEl-plSS9XkC69KCJ0Ph_e0_YZzK3Yi39MdHdeLnLAKEBsyd_svY_GYMs-O27HsgP0eqLadK_cYZUQ/s320/2a4fff191beb6cc434e6366139ac7e68.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Eris and Hades from 'Hercules'</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Consider that pre-covid, many
of the strongest supporters of ideas like ‘my body, my choice’ were on one side
of the partisan spectrum while the other side was vehemently against that idea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now consider the most polarizing issue at
hand these days…covid vaccine mandates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again,
we’re hearing ‘my body, my choice’…but the opposition to that call is now
predominantly coming from the same political side that championed choice in the
abortion debate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eris, Mars, and Pluto are
suggesting that we all take a good hard look at the underlying motivations and
influences behind our often wavering ideas about choice.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In any conflict, Eris is a
champion for those who are being ostracized or exiled from society in some
way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She knows what that feels like, and
she’ll make it her mission to expose the injustice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Her brother, Mars, though…he’s
more of a dutiful warrior.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If his orders
are to oppose his sister, as they are currently, he’ll put aside his feelings
before entering the battle and go for the glory.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The problem is, both sides of
the conflict believe they are acting in the best interests of the greater good
and protecting the rights of the people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And yet, the square to Pluto (from both sides) suggests that hidden
motivations are influencing the conflict on both ends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And our luminaries at this Full Moon are
illuminating the underlying Plutocracy controlling the controversy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Pluto at the apex of this T-Square
suggests that we, the people, need to take back our power to initiate total
transformation of the societal structures that have been crumbling under their
own weight for over a decade now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes,
it’s a heavy imperative we’re facing…but that’s what a Pluto square presents us
with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In this, it comes across as a ‘do
or die’ kind of choice…which doesn’t feel much like a choice at all.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Now, that is the global
picture…but what of this influence on the more personal, individual experience?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That all depends on what you are personally
battling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An illness?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An imbalance in your life?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A fear?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A bad habit?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A soul-crushing work
environment?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A more personal injustice?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The key with Pluto at the apex
is to look deeper into your own motivations, transform them if they are out of
integrity with who you truly are, and reclaim your hidden power that has been buried
underneath it all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Easier said than
done, I know.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But that’s what’s up right
now.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOOFLHEPAG74ltEBIu0fVMi-Jjpx9-iD4TWF9GVsyXzzaYk08PHx4CBo74Wyfj90OHOEgQoukqg5mKNfFncf2FB4GquWpfp61P9Z1JFHsV-PlHF1V_tuBZtovLXlYp5x4w4ueuDw/s2048/girl-bird-phoenix-fire%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1042" data-original-width="2048" height="204" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOOFLHEPAG74ltEBIu0fVMi-Jjpx9-iD4TWF9GVsyXzzaYk08PHx4CBo74Wyfj90OHOEgQoukqg5mKNfFncf2FB4GquWpfp61P9Z1JFHsV-PlHF1V_tuBZtovLXlYp5x4w4ueuDw/w400-h204/girl-bird-phoenix-fire%255B1%255D.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span><p></p>

</span>This benefic influence brings a subtle opportunity for release of the

brings us back to the degree of its previous retrograde conjunction with Sun to
wrap up the story arc of this character.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>During the Retrograde Story, the sea captain had much to learn about
relating to others, himself, and his environment in new ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gruff as he may have become after being long
at sea, he experienced a softening element to his interactions in retirement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Awkward as the transition was at first, he
learned to adjust to a less critical pace and gentler exchanges with
others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the end, he was better able
to convey to others the wisdom of his experiences…building new friendships on
solid ground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What have we learned of
relating to each other after our own high pressure experiences of the recent
past?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We might liken our journey through
lockdown and social distancing as being ‘out to sea’, navigating through a
storm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The return has been a slow (and
somewhat awkward) process…many of us forgetting how to relate to others after
so much distance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like the story of the
retired sea captain, Mercury encouraged us through his retrograde to find our
footing.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

this last square with Pluto.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is
when all the symbolism we encountered, the hints that Mercury dropped for each
of us personally, really come together and illuminate the whole process we went
through during the retrograde.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While we
endured the focused heaviness of this square throughout the beginning of the
retrograde (at Mercury’s retrograde station, toward the end of September), some
of us may have thought the point of this story had something to do with death…or
some kind of ending at least.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sea
captain thought so, at first, as he had to settle into his retirement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He watched the waves of the sea from his home
on land and thought ‘this is the end of my journey’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But the apparent death of an autumn leaf is not

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In times of multiple
retrogrades, there are starts and stops and changes of perspective.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It all ends up being rather necessary,
whether these changes are welcome at first or not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, when we’re being busy people in
societies that don’t stop…changes often throw us for a loop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How we deal when things get loopy often determines
the outcome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">At this New Moon, two of our retrograde
planets (Pluto, then Saturn) are approaching a full stop to station
direct.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pluto is already stationary,
turning direct not long after this New Moon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Saturn has significantly slowed already and will station direct at the
end of the weekend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During any planetary
station, there is an amplified focus on all things to do with that planet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">With Plutonian vibrations
amplified this whole week…we may have already been thoroughly haunted by the
underneath we didn’t ask to see.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now
Pluto urges us to shift our perspective and integrate whatever shadows have
reappeared over the last 5 months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These
are matters of the Soul, when Pluto is prominent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Denying the urges of the Soul can lead to
crisis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead, you may want to take
some time out to meditate on all the ‘heavy’ that has hung over you, what
treasure can you unearth from all the wreckage?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You may sit with Pluto and ask the ‘why’ to reveal itself…pay close
attention to the symbols around you that show you the deeper meanings of that lesson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghWPzQDIinxRz-8kFqNRsL5DQztSa4r8CQOOT8wzieSAuO_jFyurk0q8Xk1DBMZAltMebt0B14Ti7MWsY4Qhb3ty84IN3Rk6eI4l8QNO-0xhoMK9oHpxu8zYXgYdku8yjCZ-THKw/s1024/e3eef3f2af89568b4a9759bf7a70b988ce642395.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="1024" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghWPzQDIinxRz-8kFqNRsL5DQztSa4r8CQOOT8wzieSAuO_jFyurk0q8Xk1DBMZAltMebt0B14Ti7MWsY4Qhb3ty84IN3Rk6eI4l8QNO-0xhoMK9oHpxu8zYXgYdku8yjCZ-THKw/w400-h225/e3eef3f2af89568b4a9759bf7a70b988ce642395.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Art by Jan-Niklas Bogatka</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">And with Saturnian vibrations

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Is it easy to take a break
when all the heavy seems to have so much weight right now?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not really.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And yet, it does often bring us to a state of being worn out…necessitating
the rest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether you’re riding the
chill out vibe willingly or have only found it through exhaustion, it happens
to be the medicine at this New Moon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>With Warrior Mars at the end of a journey, future battles can wait.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is meant to be a time of renewal…even
though it may not be the most comfortable sleep we’ve ever come to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mars doesn’t ever really ‘relax’…even after
he’s expended all his energy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The drive
to keep going is still there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So in
Libra, with our luminaries as well as Mercury Retrograde, Mars may have us feel
like fighting the call to relax before the new Mars cycle begins (less than two
days after this New Moon).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Libra is the diurnal air sign
of Venus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Venus brings a challenge to
the Libra Stellium of Moon, Sun, Mars, and Mercury Retrograde through a
semi-square aspect from Scorpio.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Scorpio
is the nocturnal water sign of Mars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Venus and Mars are in mutual reception (in each other’s signs)…but there’s
a bit of static in the reception.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While
Scorpio Venus brings up the underlying motivations of how we’re relating, Libra
Mars is irritable about the inequalities and injustices in our societies and
relationships.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Venus wants Mars to
soften into her Libra ways of maintaining peace, but she’s a bit edgy herself
in Scorpio right now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hidden behind the
Sun, Mars may not be fully conscious of all that Venus is intimating at the
moment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Venus is better able to reach
this Libra Stellium through the subconscious world of symbols…so she’ll call in
a favor (through harmonious trine) from ‘Mr. Sandman’ himself, Neptune.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>‘Let Mars dream a little dream of me.’ She says
to the Dreamtime planet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It takes some force to get
this Libra Stellium to relax while in an irritating quincunx with Uranus in
Taurus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But Venus does have authority in
both these signs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A quincunx from Mars
to Uranus alone is an unsettling vibration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Venus is pooling all the power she can muster while in Scorpio just to
transmute that unrest to rest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But this
is also a quincunx from Moon and Sun to Uranus…and though both luminaries would
prefer to rest into this lunation’s beginnings, they are just as bothered by a
noise they can’t see.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Uranus, of course,
is just trying to shake up the fixed earth of our expectations in Taurus…but
none of the other planets are really in agreement with those upsets right
now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pallas in Pisces supports these Uranian
shocks through a sextile, aiding Uranus with some wise strategy…but both of
them are in quincunx with the Libra Stellium.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This points a ‘Finger of Gaia’ pattern right to the Stellium, so Libra
shows the way.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqqyCOdOaEr-5Wjty-NRVI_48iFImFNWxkuByVQ7gDzsWWc4G8jiUpD79v8q75hBdULa02J_3QPXv_ecuRFl1iCb2cqwinJVgpSUPUF6h2nwH5QgPGjo3fVFnDtQ-6ipmKxWliEg/s450/db98efdbbda83ae1127abfcb710706bb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="448" data-original-width="450" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqqyCOdOaEr-5Wjty-NRVI_48iFImFNWxkuByVQ7gDzsWWc4G8jiUpD79v8q75hBdULa02J_3QPXv_ecuRFl1iCb2cqwinJVgpSUPUF6h2nwH5QgPGjo3fVFnDtQ-6ipmKxWliEg/s320/db98efdbbda83ae1127abfcb710706bb.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">'Finger of Gaia' pattern</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Essentially, nothing very
revolutionary is likely to be accepted at this time (sorry, Uranus…you’re time
is coming soon enough).</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">The Libra
Stellium is just trying to maintain some balance as they begin multiple new cycles
throughout the coming days.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Upsetting
the ‘apple cart’ at the moment isn’t the wisest use of this energy…doing
something reactionary while irritated is the expected route for humans.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Pallas sextile Uranus suggests there is
wisdom in doing something more unexpected (like taking a ‘time out’ even while
you feel things aren’t settled yet).</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The stellium is also opposing
Chiron in Aries…showing where we need this balance, this cooperation, to ease
some tensions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Chiron is the mentor, the
healer, in the diurnal fire sign of Mars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>‘Healer, heal thyself’ is Chiron’s mantra in Aries, where self-reliance
is key.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And yet, all of that Libra
energy has been focused on others…maybe even on how we perceive others to be
complicating the healing process, or how our need for others seems to distract
us from what we need to do for ourselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Can we let go, even just a little, to trying to solve all of our problems
(and everyone else’s problems) for a bit?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Maybe sit for a spell…give it a rest…relax into the idea that the
adjustment we need (in order to avoid more of a dilemma) is to just take a
break?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The significance of this ‘noon
siesta’ symbol does go deeper than ‘taking a break’, of course.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Noon is the height of solar activity, a time
when (if we take a break from activity) we can better digest all the
information we’ve taken in throughout the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As we transition between multiple planetary cycles, and feel the first
stationing shifts from retrograde planets, we do have plenty to digest before
moving ahead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sounds like we could all benefit
from a rest to digest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

shifting the Collective Mind look like in our human lives on Earth?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is it upsets in schedules, mechanical and
electronic issues, and communication breakdowns?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We humans tend to live in a hurried pace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of us don’t pause to slow down that pace
until something happens to make us ‘hold our horses’, either begrudgingly or
willingly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Mercury gives us this
retrograde reason to break from our usual mindset more often than any other
planet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The frequency and saturation of
these Mercury Retrograde lessons on stillness and reflection make Mercury’s
retrogrades the most effective at getting a message across to our
hard-to-change human minds.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But can we survive a Mercury
Retrograde without these complications that are given so much lip-service
during these times?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do we need to hide away for a few weeks to
avoid all the hullaballoo that could happen?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>No.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That would be missing the
point of the Retrograde Storyline.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Especially
in the Air signs, as is the Mercury Retrograde theme of this year, we really
only get the point of this story through interactions with others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Will everything, and everyone, make logical
sense?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No, not in the ways we’re used
to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s probably best to not expect things
to adhere to what we tend to think of as logic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Look at things more symbolically, and you might get a better grasp of
what these interactions mean to show you.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqJ36KfFDFU-KZ1I3_hfnsSWu16qfVYu1J96U3TtpPOGlRWZbWWVPVME9QnN7oL4oMCBYdxBOX6gBXx7A2Rn9FP5fwSRGSGL_iMvAZ8DCl3K-gW5GWwqndjTGgXxefC8z63KaQ-Q/s380/mercury-in-retrograde.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="235" data-original-width="380" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqJ36KfFDFU-KZ1I3_hfnsSWu16qfVYu1J96U3TtpPOGlRWZbWWVPVME9QnN7oL4oMCBYdxBOX6gBXx7A2Rn9FP5fwSRGSGL_iMvAZ8DCl3K-gW5GWwqndjTGgXxefC8z63KaQ-Q/s320/mercury-in-retrograde.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span><p></p>

leave some room in your schedule for re-scheduling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Leave plenty of room to accommodate
reflection, recollection, and revision.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is true what we Astrologers say about doing those “re-“ words during
retrogrades.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Check things twice…maybe
even thrice…just to be sure the idea you have is sound.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s when we rush through things that we get
those more unpleasant setbacks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
understand that the more people you interact with during this time, the more
you’ll notice things not going as planned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

Libra? Mercury asks us to pause here and consider this
blending. We don’t have to figure it all out just yet…it is
something we’ll return to again at the beginning of November. And in
order to integrate it then, we’ll be shifting with Mercury to review what has
already been covered…this time in a deeper way.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span>As Heraclitus once said, ‘the only constant is change’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Within the symbol of the autumn leaf, we find
the necessity of letting go.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There has
been something on our minds that needs to transform, but there is also an inner
crisis as we cling to what we’ve known with some last grasps. The message here
is that a change of mind is no easy process…it requires us to give something
up, something that has run its course.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It requires surrender to whatever may follow as we release ourselves
into the winds of change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This Pluto
square is one of the most difficult lessons within this Mercury Retrograde
story…as our minds will want to resist it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In fact, many of us have been struggling with that resistance already
for several days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But what Mercury and
Pluto are teaching us, through this enduring dynamic, is that the deepest
changes are so often beyond our control…beyond whatever decisions we make.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe you’ve been struggling with a difficult
decision?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And maybe it doesn’t feel any
more comfortable to hear that no matter what you decide, the course of
transformation has already been set.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Try
your best to relax into it…release your desire to control the outcome…remind
yourself of the beauty in the fallen leaf.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to others, so are we.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After Mercury

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Mercury, the planet of communication
and the Messenger God, connects with us through storytelling. Communicating the
immediate story, of the many tricks in Mercury’s medicine bag, is one of the
most effective ways of reaching us Earth Children…as most of us were raised to
be present for Storytime. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But as we age out of our
earliest wisdom, we don’t always pay attention to the magic in the story
anymore, do we?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, some of us do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And it’s one of many reasons people love Astrology
(a system of symbols, archetypes, and vibrations that tells the Cosmic Story).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Still, even as we’re looking up, it has to
apply to the experience of our physical matter…on the ground, in daily
practice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that’s where the Cosmic
Story gets very personal and specific to each individual.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet there are themes that apply to all of us,
which we meet in varying degrees of expression.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This way of conveying requires Mercury to meet us closer to Earth (and
frequently enough that we learn to pay attention).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And a retrograde is when planets in our
Cosmic Neighborhood are closer in proximity to us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So each Mercury Retrograde, which occurs at
least thrice a year, has a very noticeable effect…inviting us to sit for a
spell on the ‘magic carpet’ and listen to Storytime with Mercury.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The larger Mercurial theme of
this year is focused on the Air element.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>First, we learned this element through the Fixed Air (Aquarius) story…where
we learned more about communicating community in our societies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we got the Mutable Air (Gemini) story…where
we learned more about communicating ideas in our local space.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And now, we’re settling in for the Cardinal
Air (Libra) story…where we will learn more about communicating reciprocity through
partnership.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the Air element, the
theme of Mercury’s Storytime focuses on the mental and social expression of
living on Earth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mercury invites us to
really think about our thoughts, ideas, and how to gather and convey that
information.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In each Mercury Retrograde season,
Mercury is ending one cycle to begin a new one at Interior Conjunction with Sun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we near the end of one cycle, hints of a
new story emerge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This time can be
considered the Prologue that leads us into the Retrograde Story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mercury is still in direct motion during this
time…at first, still zipping through the degrees it will return to, but then
slowing down in them and stationing at a point we’ll only be ready to grasp once
the story concludes. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-usn-97ESMGpsIitU0g5UF5gn0ptFWlCGkj2R48yHrLKRP243Mt1t9ZyheM8vA9rn4GMFOcHO996ulhzvnM-zRx-KnKn7-iCuAjW1ZM-0HeretOdfOJuGLBI49F_w5GymBQbaAg/s960/vladimir+kush+diary+of+discoveries.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="591" data-original-width="960" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-usn-97ESMGpsIitU0g5UF5gn0ptFWlCGkj2R48yHrLKRP243Mt1t9ZyheM8vA9rn4GMFOcHO996ulhzvnM-zRx-KnKn7-iCuAjW1ZM-0HeretOdfOJuGLBI49F_w5GymBQbaAg/w400-h246/vladimir+kush+diary+of+discoveries.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Art by Vladimir Kush</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Mercury’s already been
introducing us to this story through Prologue since the day of the New Moon
(9/6).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The aspects Mercury makes with
other planets are introduced as relevant to the story…but most of these characters
and their lessons return with greater detail during the Retrograde Story (and
then their full story arc is integrated during the Epilogue that follows
Mercury’s direct station).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, what does
Mercury’s Prologue have to say about the coming retrograde?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ll look at the dates, aspects, degrees,
symbols, and other useful hints of these weeks we’re currently moving through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

maintain that balance...to do the work of becoming centered in the midst of

light from Virgo Sun, that energy of definition is illuminated as its opposite…fusion.</span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">And in some cases, it feels a bit like
con-fusion…as Pisces works to blend seemingly disparate parts into a whole, and
this is not an easy task when humans have become so used to separation.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">But the illumination shows that it is both
our diversity and our oneness, the balance of both, that creates the expression
of Spirit within Matter.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 150%;">The
Sabian Symbol for this Full Moon is “light breaking into many colors as it
passes through a prism”. </span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">This process is symbolic of our own process of
differentiation we go through in life. We are, before conceived, unified
with source light. We are brought to Earth through the womb of our mother
(the prism), and then shaped through that process into our individual
expression (a rainbow of different colors, expressing different angles of
deviation). We do not lose the source light, but we reflect it in many
different ways. Essentially, there is no real separation from the
Universe…only one of human perception. We go from unity to
multi-unity…where we express our Divine Spark in a multitude of ways. </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBOx9nZcCDO-X81k2Jaw99gKVlkNVhIdPDS5d_zj8BdVpjUt3QC2CuXVfabO4OTVcHQoLJkrCpRhXpMjS0_oqp76hJQDOZK8OT9THYneQhXDINebjLEzvEdZ8hPsHilIaWeeGAAg/s550/149178-004-4E58EB7E.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="550" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBOx9nZcCDO-X81k2Jaw99gKVlkNVhIdPDS5d_zj8BdVpjUt3QC2CuXVfabO4OTVcHQoLJkrCpRhXpMjS0_oqp76hJQDOZK8OT9THYneQhXDINebjLEzvEdZ8hPsHilIaWeeGAAg/s320/149178-004-4E58EB7E.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Aiding us in this Full Moon
expression is a trine (3<sup>rd</sup> Harmonic aspect) between the two
traditional rulers of the Virgo-Pisces axis, Mercury and Jupiter…one of the
aspects that Mercury makes three times because of the coming retrograde.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the air signs of Libra and Aquarius, these
two planets communicate some good news.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For
this Full Moon, that good news highlights a harmonious blend of the differences
between Virgo and Pisces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And though the
two planets are not in signs that can be seen from the Virgo-Pisces axis, there
is still a subtle hint that calls us to make adjustments and find this harmony.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">This Full Moon is also conjunct
Neptune Retrograde, illuminating one last look at what Neptune’s Solar
Opposition has revealed to us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At that
solar opposition (9/14), energy was dispersed in a multitude of directions…often
having the effect of exhaustion from scattered focus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But Neptune in Pisces also helps us to
integrate it all back to oneness…like drops of rain coming back to the sea. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In such integration, boundaries are meant to
dissolve and definition becomes blurred and blended.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So yes, what would otherwise seem more
clearly described in Virgo season has been a bit hazy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may still feel remnants of this Neptune
effect…but this Full Moon reveals an opportunity to work with dissolution for
current agitations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhezso6oMEe79zW0XbwTncyZVUFVaFhwb5py0ScWpp7LcDcIB6TuWm_U_Hef9T3k4il3Nqptkd-cQeofBrggDamFJXY1tW8sjoW1pXZ5iZTp87Ax_Rtc5-4WP5CGo23vjbFmXdLAQ/s784/bigstock-Rain-5591128-1-1.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="588" data-original-width="784" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhezso6oMEe79zW0XbwTncyZVUFVaFhwb5py0ScWpp7LcDcIB6TuWm_U_Hef9T3k4il3Nqptkd-cQeofBrggDamFJXY1tW8sjoW1pXZ5iZTp87Ax_Rtc5-4WP5CGo23vjbFmXdLAQ/w400-h300/bigstock-Rain-5591128-1-1.webp" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">As another part of the
diversity of vibrations at this Full Moon, Scorpio Venus applies an opposition to
Taurus Uranus Retrograde.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In this
opposition, our ways of relating may feel a bit strained or tense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is especially true on the global scale,
but if you’re feeling this aspect yourself, it may bring up some range of
social anxiety…as the vibration can be a bit unsettling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or, perhaps a new way of relating is inviting
you to experiment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It can also bring up
the excitement of new relationships, urges to bring the unexpected into existing
relationships, or anything that suddenly awakens the heart to new insights. At
any rate, this opposition will test our ability to maintain balance between
what needs (or wants) to change and what we deeply desire to immerse ourselves
in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">But this Full Moon is in
challenging aspects to the Venus-Uranus opposition, through a sesquiquadrate
and a semi-square.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These aspects are of
the 8<sup>th</sup> Harmonic, which is similar to the 4<sup>th</sup> Harmonic of
the square but without the imperative of a definite turning point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>8<sup>th</sup> Harmonic aspects bring a
similar friction and agitation, but an outlet for the challenge is less
apparent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Through transit, it feels like
frustrations that we just need to sit with before they work themselves
out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Choosing to move the frustration
into action through anger will only lead to that anger reverberating back to
ourselves and causing more problems.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes
we just have to examine our frustrations, uncomfortable as it can be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">At this time, we may feel the
unsettling urge to break out of what we’ve been used to in our relationships and
bring in some new life through connection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After all, separation through social distance has been a long-running
theme for many of us….but it may have also brought up some habitual ruts in our
closest relationships that now have our more penetrating focus upon them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We may feel like we’d rather just cut loose
and go out with our friends to blow off some steam…but something more crucial
is pulling us in to be addressed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Moon’s septile (7<sup>th</sup>
Harmonic) to Saturn Retrograde suggests that focusing in and committing to the inner
work required right now, which may require some sacrifice, is helpful in all
these scattered energies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This septile
is an invitation to use any moments of stillness that arise to meditate or
reflect on what has been frustrating you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">The sextile (6<sup>th</sup>
Harmonic) from this Full Moon to Pluto Retrograde shows an opportunity to go
deep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rediscover your inner power to endure
more gradual evolution in the midst of our current desire for immediate
change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There’s something in the
underbelly of it all that reveals a blessing to us…likely a clue to how we can
work with the Mercury-Pluto square that Mercury’s Retrograde will bring us
through thrice over the coming weeks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Communicating through crises may be a recurring theme as we near the end
of this month through the beginning of next, but in this moment we are invited

Title it ‘Frustration’ or something similar and move on to the real inner work behind the feeling.
