Venus Stations Direct

“The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.” Eden Phillpots

Venus stations direct on Friday 1/31 following the New Moon at 10 degrees of Aquarius on Thursday 1/30. One of the Sabian symbols of this New Moon is, “During a silent hour a person receives new inspiration which may change his life.” It bodes well to provide some quiet time to take an inspired approach to new aspirations – particularly those related to self esteem, relationships, finances and ways to bring more pleasure, harmony and joy into your life. Venus has been retrograde since Dec 21 and will station conjunct Pluto and opposite Jupiter- supporting efforts to transform underlying belief systems which inhibit growth and making wisdom and hope more accessible.

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.
