Cardinal Courage

This Aries Full Moon has a grand cross formation involving an opposition between Mars and Pluto. Slicing through this grand cross (square) of conflicting pattern is also the opposition of Venus in Scorpio and Uranus in Taurus. These areas of life (based on individual charts) are causes for either a lot of effort and focus, intense creativity and courage, or some level of frustration— even possibly breakthrough can result. The pattern is cardinal which means it has direction. The cardinal signs are Aries, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn and bring in the new energies of the equinoxes and the solstices. They are signs that point the way forward as the wheel turns.

Life goes on. I read a wonderful quote by Robert Frost, “In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.”

So we are at crossroads and impasses which are more or less one and the same. The outer experience of the world is unfulfilling as it is designed to be. The pursuit for happiness or contentment does not belong in the external landscapes of appearances.

Sun is trine to Jupiter with Moon sextile Jupiter which can show us the bigger picture. For me, I’ve gotten more spiritually aspirational and my disciplines and practices have benefited from my renewed vision.

I can thank Jupiter and prayer for the levity that has entered from the inside. It’s a functional levity and anchored to the awareness of impermanence.

If you should find yourself inspired or frustrated during this full moon general time, you can wait it out, or ride it out. Either way, even a very rigid pattern in the consciousness of being “stuck” or being focused doesn’t last long. If you have the focus and the energy, enjoy the flow—if you feel constrained, it will pass.

It’s a good set of days to journal on your motivations and reflect on what exactly inspires courage in you to face all the unknowns of regular life.

Have a full moon with wonder! Or have a wonderful, full moon! Enjoy being alive to live and to thrive, or just wait it out.

  1. Working on it Ka, its one of those patience things with an opening flashing by to contemplate my journey in its individual light. Mind you, chocolate seems to help too 🤣

    Meantime it is changing me quite ‘all over’, I haven’t had anything to this degree since I dared to ask God ‘where is the love in all this mess?’. So with great love he is showing me 🤗❤️🙏

    1. My pleasure, Debbie! We are all in this together, and navigating. This can be a very inspiring time, frustrating, or a mix of both. I am seeing the raising of awareness through it all; we can’t see the full balance but we are on our way forward. As Pluto moves back into Aquarius the ‘weird’ factor will increase and transform us all the more. Hugs and love! 💗
