2015 – Amelia Shea

Mercury, Saturn and Neptune

“The dream image planted in the body acts as a magnet attracting the energy, transforming it and releasing its healing powers.” Marion Woodman

One of the interesting aspects at the time of the Full Moon this weekend is that Mercury will be opposing Saturn and squaring Neptune. This configuration is about the relationship of your dreams to your thinking-making it a good time to look at the trajectory your dreams follow- once conceptualized. Are they shut down too early due to over riding concerns related to traditional thinking or “the way things are done?” Or do they fail to factor in the importance of creating an appropriate form for growth and evolution in the exterior world over time? Are you open enough to the process of guidance unfolding gradually
in a myriad of forms?

One of the themes of the ongoing influence of the Uranus/Pluto square is to challenge authority. This has to do with thinking and the outer authority that has been accepted – be it familial, cultural, religious – that can limit expansion or evolution.

“Live from the dream outward,” Carl Jung wrote.

Full Moon in Scorpio

“One must choose in all things a mean, just and good… Error and confusion dwell in the extremes.” Pythagoras

There is an old expression in astrology, “Full Moons are two days coming and two days going” and it is wise to factor in this influence as the Moon waxes Full Sunday at 13 degrees of Scorpio.

This Full Moon falls on the axis of Taurus – what we value – both in profound and mundane ways – and Scorpio – the sign which governs deep transformation and what we must let go if in order to move forward. Taurus wants to hold on, Scorpio demands letting go.

The Sun and Moon both square Jupiter – the planet associated with excess – and Jupiter forms a difficult angle with Pluto which tends to push things into overdrive. Watch for the tendency to overdo, over think and over react. With Saturn’s influence any new ideas or guidance that surfaces now is best sorted out over time rather than acted on immediately. It is easy to get swept away and bodes well to factor in pragmatics later.

It is a time when there could be important discoveries or revelations – as long as a moderate approach rules the day. One of the Sabian symbols for this time is, “A teacher gives new symbolic forms to traditional images. ”

The light of the Full Moon can unveil hidden things and give new courage and strength to go forward with a clarified vision.

Another symbols is, ” A canoe approaching safety through dangerous waters.”

Juno and Jupiter

“Let us be silent that we may hear the whispers of the gods.” Emerson

This year began with Jupiter in Leo in retrograde mode – and Jupiter recently stationed direct and resumed forward motion. Throughout this time Jupiter has been traveling with Juno, asteroid of commitment.

As Jupiter proceeds forward it is a good time to look at the commitments in your life – those made both on a deep level to your soul life as well as those on a more mundane level and see if there is room for bringing the inside and the outside into closer alignment.

Jupiter in Leo can shed light and wisdom on this area now – and the trine to fiery Uranus can provide direction through innovative thinking. Be open to breakthroughs.

One of the Sabian symbols associated with Jupiter’s placement now is, “Cherub- like a human soul whispers in every ear, seeking to manifest.” This symbol speaks of the opportunity for powerful realizations.
