More on the Full Moon

“Don’t waste our time on trifles. You are dealing with that immensity out there.” Carlos Casteneda

On my computer’s astrology program there is a link to what is called the “Real Time Clock” which shows the evolving chart of the moment. I am often amused when I see that link and wonder, “which clock is the real time clock?” as there are so many ways of viewing time.

Tonight’s powerful Full Moon on the Cancer/Capricorn axis echoes the eclipses in the same signs which occurred between July 7, 2009 through July 1, 2011. Eclipses are evolutionary in nature and it would be wise if this particular time frame was significant to you to revisit your own evolutionary process from then to now.

Information about this process may be more readily available now with Pluto’s transit through Capricorn and can emerge through the dream life, spiritual work and intuitions as well as through transformative events in your everyday life.

Chiron’s influence suggests that evolution may occur through the discovery of missing pieces which leads to healing fragmentation.

Full Moon in Cancer

“In dreams begins responsibility.” William Butler Yeats

One of the Sabian symbols associated with Wednesday’s Full Moon in Cancer is ” A child of about five is carrying a huge shopping bag filled with groceries.” The sign of Capricorn is about attaining goals, about manifestation and about achieving heights. This symbol is a reminder to assess the amount of responsibility you carry in this process and if it is out of balance to make appropriate adjustments.
In addition to the Full Moon energy which tends towards extremes Mars is squaring Jupiter and Venus is opposing – meaning that it is easy to overreact. Keep moderation in the picture.

Another symbol associated with this Full Moon is, “A nature spirit dancing in the mist of a waterfall.” Bringing levity or a light hearted approach to situations can help to break up gridlock as can tuning in to more subtle energies.

Friends – I am starting a new distance learning class in Tarot Card reading – please get in touch if you would like more info. The process of learning to read Tarot cards can help put the past in perspective and help with personal evolution.

Venus and Self Love

“Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new…” Ursula LeGuin

One of the gifts of retrograde transits is that they provide specific time frames to review and revisit certain areas of life which might we might not otherwise do. Venus reached the half way point her the retrograde transit over the weekend. Through the end of January is a good time to review self love (how we care for and nurture ourselves) and how we relate to and treat others. There is always room for improvement in aspirations and actions.
Venus in Capricorn speaks concretely about how we provide for ourselves financially and materially and is a good time to review this aspect of self love also.
It is a also good time to reconsider and remake old dreams which may need some couse alternation or updating.

“Without love we are birds with broken wings.” Mitch Albom
