The Mourning Moon
illuminates memory and communication. In the 1st degree
of Gemini, Moon is conjunct the Pleiades, channeling in the mythic
storyline of the Seven Sisters...companions to Artemis, the Moon Goddess of the Wild Hunt. How do we connect with our
siblings...or those we are so familiar with, they are like siblings
to us? Brothers and Sisters, how are we communicating with each
other at this time? Is it fun or is it forceful...does it help us
shine or ‘get lost’? All manner of opposites are in play at this
Full Moon...and since Mercury is the ruler of Gemini, his retrograde
journey through Sagittarius (Gemini’s opposite) advises us to
reconsider thoughts and ideas before they are shared.
At the same time,
Jupiter with the Sun in Sagittarius wants to expound upon the many
energies at play...possibly to the point of exaggeration (which can
make anything from an entertaining story to a mountain out of a
molehill). There is certainly an energy of gregarious generosity to
this Full Moon-Jupiter combination that is worth tapping into, but
the opposite feeling of needing inward thought at this time is also
present. How to reconcile the extroversion-introversion polarity? A
bit of ambiversion is needed to navigate this outward/inward
adventure.
Mars and Neptune
Retrograde in Pisces play integral roles in this planetary party as
well. With this square energy from Pisces, confused actions can be a
result of communication overload (whether in our inward or outward
environment, but likely both). The counsel here is very indicative
of a Mercury Retrograde time period: If linear and logical mental
processes are not going to produce your expected result, perhaps your
intuitive senses would be more reliable to tap into at this time.
Moon’s position right now has us wide-open to cosmic downloads, and
literally everything else, so if we’re too distracted by any
increasing dramas...we might miss the larger storyline.
There’s a
Dreamtime state washing over everyone right now that can make
ordinary reality somewhat puzzling. Inconsistencies between our
states of consciousness may reveal greater truths, though it might be
hard to focus on just one thing to gain any lasting clarity. Keep a
dream journal by your bedside to record anything that surfaces from
the subconscious/unconscious realms...as these are the messages that
will reveal what lies beneath the stories swirling in our current
experience.

Curiosity and Fascination
 |
| 'Alice' by Elena Kalis |
The Sabian Symbol
for this degree is ‘a glass bottom boat reveals undersea wonders’.
This Mercury Retrograde just keeps getting ‘curiouser and
curiouser’, as Alice would say. Wonderland references to this time
certainly apply...and the stark contrasts of things can be either
fascinating or frightening, depending on your shifting state-of-mind.
Which of the characters of this ‘Through the Looking Glass’
story do you identify with at this time? Are you trying to make
logical sense out of illogical (or, perhaps, extra-logical) concepts,
like Alice? Are you quite accustomed to this ‘time which is no
time’ like the characters at the tea party? Are you rushing around
like the out-of-sync White Rabbit who feels dreadfully late for
something unspecified but important? Are you snickering at the
silliness of it all like the Cheshire Cat? Or are you all ‘off
with their heads’ like the Red Queen? With the Cardinal Grand
Cross of Venus, Uranus Rx, and the lunar nodes still in play, our
Caterpillar friend challenges us through the smokey haze to answer:
“Who are you?” In doing so, what is revealed may make us wonder
even more.

1- Exploration and Expansion
 |
| Grand Army Campfire Vintage Card from 1882 |
The Sabian Symbol
for this degree is ‘a Grand Army of the Republic campfire’.
Stories from the past will inevitably come up, especially in a
gathering of familiar faces. You’ll want to explore and expand
upon life’s experiences. Whether you are with others at this time
or not, the need to share stories and relate with others who
understand much of what you’ve been through is strong. Bonding
such as this brings us back to the brotherhood and sisterhood themes
of this Full Moon. Old memories are reawakened to shine a light on
both who we were and how far we’ve come since. Different as we may
be individually, it is important to remember we share a common past.
Old battles may resurface under this influence, but the overall theme
is one of companionship on this journey of life which is
ever-marching forward in our experience of mortal ‘time’. How
has our experience shaped us into who we are now, or who we are in
the process of becoming? Lives lost along the journey can be found
gathering with us around the ‘campfire’, reminding us they’re
still part of our lives. And old ‘battle wounds’ hold
Storyteller medicine that can heal the ache of time spent apart. If
you’re able to be with family or friends today, enjoy each other’s
stories and companionship. Be thankful for their generosity, and
generous with your appreciation. Even if there is a lot of ‘too
muchness’ going around, you can never have too much love and
gratitude.
Love and Gratitude,
Felina Lune Kavi
