Aquarius Full Moon: Tune in and listen to the cosmic death poetry

I pulled a card for this full moon, for all of us. Since this full moon is energetically lit with an incredible, vivid contrast, I wanted to know more about the poetry Spirit told me about… and here it is in this card:

This card says, “The sense of loss was tempered with the joy of release and the promise of regeneration.” (Ryan & Matthews, 2011, p. 63)

That’s just the point of this full moon, perhaps. But there is more.

It does have some questions. Take your time reading them.

How can we stay “available” as an observer? How to be ‘in the poetry’ and not merely the object of its annihilation? How do we release the center-point of the obstacle within our framework as a ‘someone’ experiencing the ending of our former selves, cast off into flames? Can we not just go poof in the night, wake up gently, and be refreshed? Must the ending be so harsh?

If you’ve been feeling deeply from the nourishing invitation of the previous new moon in Cancer, you might have made yourself a softer bed to lie on, as you collapse into oblivion, that is…

The answer, I believe, is to tune into that lowest hum of the cosmic voice. It reads like poetry to your heart if it uses its ears…yeah you read that right, and it’s not mere synesthesia.

In true Aquarian style: the cosmos/your heart is saying something quite unique for each and everyone one of us. Your own body is the instrument to retrieve this. You use your senses to find it, but you also transcend those very senses in the process of recognizing them. Take your time. Read slowly.

So if this link down below doesn’t embed properly, it’s fair game to just tune in by yourself and putting “additional information” aside. (Looks like it ended up being a link. It should, at the very least, open in a new tab for you.) If you chose to tune into yourself and see if you heard anything, even better. The video at the link is long and you might not have the time for it, so precede with the text, instead. It’s your call.

With this Full Moon in Aquarius conjunct Pluto AND opposite the Sun in Leo conjunct Jupiter: the very ‘bright’ meets the very ‘dark.’ It’s a stark difference in consciousness for those who are observers. It’s full of endings and detachment. It’s a full moon for the record books that says, “this is what I learned (what burned), and this is what I definitely didn’t learn (I might do it again, I’m not safe yet!), and here’s how I am going to move forward, regardless (it’s time to be more brave and remove myself from attempting to control outcomes).” Why? Because outcomes are not the point.

The nodes have recently swept out of Pisces/Virgo, so we aren’t looking for either perfection nor redemption anymore.We have lost patience with anything like that. Do you see that Mars square Venus? That’s a nice, feisty aspect. It can bring the spicy you need for any additional purge. It adds additional rev and verve. Look closely, it might sparkle.

This is not your time to spring forward though. It’s more of a step-aside–a taking of assessment. Saturn recently stationed retrograde, which to me, supports my point. Take a deeper inward breath, and gaze at that dang navel. If you do this with gentleness, it will lead you back into the world of community, of humanity–the humanity that has hope and vision, and the one that WILL adapt. Because adaptation is really what is called for. Adaptation is your calling. It’s not a wholesale destruction. It’s an opening point that can only show itself after you’ve really allowed yourself to clear the smoke of all those fires within and without burning relentlessly… the Fires that have been blazing and necessitating your attention. We aren’t here to put out the fire. We are here to really get aligned with the purpose of the fire, really hear and know its message. That’s going to be different for each and every one of you.

I will mention, though, that with all that Leo energy, it’s quite possible you might spontaneously combust and burn into the person you weren’t meant to leave behind, leaving the luminosity of Spirit, the one who guides you, ever more at the forefront.

New Moon in Cancer: Nourishment in Relationships

New Moon in Cancer: Simply your nourishment

It’s no surprise that prognosticating astrologers say, and the word of the times (haha or on the streets of the internet), that things are complex and dramatic. To some extent that is true, with a lot of very interesting and provocative changes taking place in the transits above! However, I’d like to take that notion and give it a balancing point to simplify and return to the “easier street” of simplification. We can ask ourselves simple questions to get into the heart of this lunation, and get a little bit more cozy.

What truly nourishes you? Where do you feel supported and like you can belong and be yourself?

This lunation has a challenging square with Saturn in Aries and Venus is receiving a lot of personal narrative review with the S. Nodal position conjoining it. The common themes of Venus are topics related to finances, relationships, women, and comforts and balances. Venus rules both Libra and Taurus, so all your keywords and phrases in the languaging could be expanded upon by looking at those signs. However, Venus is also a very esoteric and magical planet, known for the pentagram it traces in its orbital path. There’s a real beauty to it. Fortunately the Mars/Uranus conjunction is separating in Gemini, so some of the intensity is evolving into new shapes and patterns.

Venus:

Cancer is a sign of mother and motherhood. The expression of unconditional love can come in the form of boundaries and clear limitations. Limitations can create the supportive space for the young life to grow unencumbered by destructive forces. One must take heed of one’s environment and fashion it to the best of one’s capacity to be a safe place in order for the soul to be nourished, and for the creativity to flow. Don’t be afraid to be clear about your boundaries and needs. The time has come for your greatest alignment with your soul’s path, and your own personal magick to unfold and flourish. Bring your light into this world, with gentleness, kindness, and the deep breath of faith and trust, that your heart is in the right place. You’ve worked hard for this. Saturn is here to support you. A challenging planetary aspect can be just the support you need to ground and arrange your space for your highest and best good.
