Liberation – Fiesta Estrellas

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.

I shouldn’t rush this one.

There’s a lot about Leo that isn’t captured by popular culture, or by “culture of astrology.” Of course, I am a Leo Sun (haha in my 7th house of others!!) So I will tell you what a Leo is! And you will believe me, of course! (silly!) Silliness is definitely a thing. It’s part of it. A bit of a performer… that too! Guess what else? Can you guess? Yes, yes, playful. Anything else?

If you guessed Shameless, well, no.

Brave.

Brave!

I wrote brave twice– you wanna know why? The first time is with a period. It’s the behind the scenes brave. It’s the actual brave. The show up and be brave behind the ready to be brave. Then there’s the other brave! is the one that looks cheery and courageous, but is probably just the product of this equation:

My LOVE > My Fear = Aligned Action

If you are looking at the truth: there’s no real difference between you and me. We have all the same possibilities and potentialities. Choice is what makes us different, and to a certain extent, circumstances also make us different. We all have different backgrounds, groups, families, environmental pressures, legacies and genes, and even experiences. Please keep reading for the substance…. You are special

This post is not going to be one of those posts that tells you “this is an excellent time for: x, y and z” It’s not even about what the sign Leo means. It’s more about an exploration into the depths of you. This new moon in early Leo at 2 degrees is in opposition to the planet, Pluto (overhaul), in Aquarius (each and every one). It’s in trine to Uranus (innovation) in Gemini (the mind). There’s a lot of pressure right now to find ways to survive. What are we surviving? We are surviving difficult living conditions that still manage to mostly look like the luxuries of modern life. However, underneath it all is the existential tension of not knowing the future, not having a stable sense of the cost of goods, not knowing how the slashing and burning and bridge dismantling of our institutions is going to affect America and the entire world. It’s already affecting America. What’s worse is the backdrop of environmental degradation and decline. The climate is changing so quickly that the *very* systems designed to protect us with early warning signals and organized response teams, even research around these pertinent topics: FEMA, EPA, and more, are being dismantled completely. How will we even know the true impact of what is going on until the years past when we are long and gone? This is not an easy landscape my friends! This is not an easy life. Yes, meanwhile, we have positivity consciousness telling us to “be grateful” and how each one of us can just “put our minds to it” and “have the life of our dreams.”

What is true?

Well, that is a moving target. So that sense for the scammers hunting us every day and the people who want to steal from our trust– well, are they creating a culture of distrust? I would say, “yes.” Now, I’m not laying all this out so that we all come together and agree to just give up. But there is a lot of war going on (in our hearts and on Earth, across nations) and very, very shady, nefarious characters are acting freely from their place of power. So, I must ask you, I must beg you to keep going. Keep finding the reason to LOVE. Keep finding the reason to TRUST. Keep finding the ways to soften your heart–while getting increasingly smart to the real danger that lurks for us. This is a life of survival for ourselves and our families. The values we have fought for need to stay intact. We do not sacrifice our freedoms for anything other than a higher vision. That higher vision must come from our hearts. It must come from the most courageous part within us. It’s the anchor that links us to the very air we breathe. The heart and lungs work in tandem, you know. So be the voice, be the hope. Be the authentic gift of your own life– and give to give. Love to love. You are not alone. I am not alone.

I’m just gonna do the same, okay?

I started a youtube channel and I talk about authenticity. Spoiler: I didn’t come to any conclusions. Go ahead and take a look; feel free to tell me what you think! Thank you 🙂 Do you like the silly poses I get caught in? What are your thoughts on the topics I introduced? Oh, and apparently you have to tell everyone to “like and subscribe” so if you noticed that in everyone else’s youtubes–that’s why I’m doing the same thing. 🙂
