Moon-light
In this section, I spend more time diving into the cosmic tonality of this rare moon and what it might manifest on your way across the next two to four weeks.
This full moon happens at the 29th and last degree of Aquarius. Transits happening at the 29th degree bring a sense of crisis and urgency to the fore. A time where we feel weaker and torn apart between decisions. With it, we are tempted to take immediate and decisive action…
Except that this is not the time to rush… but to review carefully our options.
This Full Moon summons us to reflect on the following question:
WHAT DO YOU REALLY NEED TO LET GO OFF TO TRULY MOVE FORWARD ON THE PATH OF YOUR TRUE AUTHENTIC BEING?
Whatever your response will be, you might remember this day for a very, very long time.
The overall signature of this Full Moon is Taurus, indicating that now is the time to attend to ourselves and enjoy the little pleasures of life, slow down and relax a little rather than give in to external pressure. A time to get grounded and receptive to what life has to offer. And it currently has a lot to offer.
The Full Moon is conjunct Jupiter, and thus opposed to the Sun.
We will therefore benefit from a very supportive and caring window, bringing new people, ideas and experiences into our lives.
With it will come the potential to become over-optimistic and overextend ourselves in the direction of greed, arrogance and immorality if we are not careful.
Black Moon Lilith forms a square to the Sun-Moon opposition, highlighting that the path to freedom and acceptance will not be without obstacles and power struggles. Your feeling and emotions might be met with resistance and simply swept away by others. Some are likely to feel suppressed or confined by others especially for their sexual and individual desires. Others will pick up a fight again to defend the oppressed. Criticism and rejection will abound. To positively deal with this very strong and primal energy, a strong balance between heart and mind will be essential as well as keeping your expectations in close check. Remember that peace and harmony can also be found within.
The challenge with Lilith in Gemini is that whenever we will meet those situations, we might hardly be able to refrain ourselves and stop the urge to share what’s on our mind, how disturbing and awkward this might be.
A grand trine harmoniously links Venus (love, value, relationship, money), Saturn (hard work, resilience, commitment, mastery) and the North Node (our destiny) indicating that all the efforts we will invest into our relationships will be supportive of our becoming, bring closer bonding, stability and help lift problems and restrictions off our path. Also expect a lot of relationship issues to come to a climax and searching for resolution.
Finally, an exact trine between Mars and Uranus will bring initiative, excitement and adventure if we mindfully tap into the potential of this full moon. It will definitely a good time to take risks as inhibitions will be lowered.
Mercury (our brain and capacity to reason), Saturn (our structure and resistance), Venus (our power of attraction and love) as well as the Sun (our identity) will all be extremely strong during this window.
Overall, this Full Moon is likely precipitate the unfulfilled change but most importantly close the anxious period that follows deep changes with its myriad of opportunities and the need to decide for one of those…
THE TIME HAS NOT YET COME TO DECIDE even if we might feel pressured to.
THIS TIME IS FOR ENJOYING AND REVELING IN THE FREEDOM THAT COMES WITH OPPORTUNITIES, to understand how we can best serve the collective, to let ourselves be surprised by the inherent friendliness of the universe, to get ourselves out there and fall in awe at the surprising nature of life.
Note that the biggest trap today might be to believe that you know all there is to know, as you will likely discover, a lot remains to be revealed.
Around Aug 27 Pluto retro will once again square Eris retro… the fights for social justice will likely resume around the globe. As well as digital hackery and whistleblowing of all sorts.
On August 30 Mercury enters Libra and our brain will shift from imperfections and the ensuing quest for pragmatic solutions to focus on beauty, arts, diplomatic and fair solutions that bring harmony and justice.
On September 3 the Sun will oppose Neptune retro, bringing an end to all illusory or artificially held situations and the necessary reinstatement of healthy boundaries. Hard returns to reality are likely if you have opted for the escapist road at the beginning of this rather intense summer. Discouragement, weakness and feeling of inadequacy will reign supreme.
I hope you will have understood that this second full moon in Aquarius is a real gift of the universe in disguise just waiting for you to open up to its many blessings.
May you be fully supported in making the most of it and birthing a new better you, contributing by doing so to make this planet a more integrated whole.
May you feel empowered to follow the path towards your greater destiny.
In evolution,
G
