Full Moon in Aries 30th September 2012


Hi everyone!
 
 
What a busy week ahead with all this planetary activity! I’ve kept this update to the Full Moon as it’s big energy.
 
 
 
 
With the Full Moon, we have the contrasting energies of the peaceful Libran Sun opposing the volcanic emotional energy of the Aries Full Moon! The build up over this week promises to be intense as other planetary forces come in to play their part.
 
 
However, 4 days after the Full Moon we have a series of planetary changes from 4th to 8th October, so I’ll send another planetary update after the Full Moon. Small bite sized pieces of information are often more digestible when processing major change.
 
 
What’s been happening: Hearts being restored after open heart surgery...closure/completion/resolution of relationship issues
Chances are there’s been a focus on one-on-one relationships since the Sun moved into Libra on 23rd, compounded by a square/challenge from Mars in Scorpio to Venus in Leo this week. The masculine/feminine energies have been brought to the fore with lots of rebalancing, reconnecting and restructuring, rebuilding of new foundations.
 
 
Past relationship energies brought to peace: It doesn’t matter if you’re not in a committed intimate relationship, as this sorting, re-evaluating process is happening on the esoteric and astral planes of other realities/past lives/frozen memories, as resistance is being swept away by the above energies combined with Saturn’s final few weeks in Libra. 
 
 
In the past month, you may have experienced clearance in dreams of past partners and/or anyone with whom you have/have had a one-on-one relationship. This could be business partners, family members, close friendships as well as partners. Don’t be surprised if you unexpectedly meet, contact/are contacted by someone significant from the past. Reconnections or peaceful completions are possible.
 
 
 
Limitations/restrictions on relationships being released: We’re on a date with destiny as we move towards the culmination of the three year passage of Saturn through Libra. Committed relationships have been confined, restricted, more than likely out of reach for many as we brought our masculine/feminine energies into balance.
 
Our masculine warrior selves are coming to peace, returning to strength: In particular, this year we’ve spent months with our Mars/masculine energies constrained by the healing power of Virgo, restrained by the retrograde energies, karmically balancing the history of our lives on this planet, the history of this planet. Mars has been in rehabilitation and is being released from this spiritual re-training program Saturn’s move is the key to this. How far we come will emerge with Saturn in Scorpio.
 
 
Do or die...freedom calls!: Time to get off the cross of restriction! So, we’re in the final throes, the last couple of weeks, of this restructuring, rebuilding, refinement of the balancing process. The proof of our process will likely manifest when Saturn moves into Scorpio on 8th October. This offers a last ditch effort to shift a huge amount of resistance and baggage about the relationship issues.
 
 
Physical challenges: We’ve had some alleviation from all the solar activity and disturbance to the magnetic field. But remember we are in a long term cycle of increasing solar activity. 
If you’re feeling ‘off’ it’s worth checking on www.solarweather.com or http://thewatchers.adorraeli.com/
 
Letting go: With the upcoming Full Moon which is already impacting on us (for 3 days before and afterwards), our emotional bodies are being stirred up and releasing long-held memories from our physical bodies. There’s the possibility of heat/inflammation rising up as Aries is all heat and fire. Safe release of emotions in whatever works for you. Yes, water...in it and/or drinking it. But we know there’s no one way for all, except light, breath, sound, earthing all the fire!
 
 
Planetary energies are rising up from the earth herself and seeking resolution. We’re the ones assisting this resolution and channelling the energies out of our chakras, our mental, emotional, physical and astral bodies. Keep coming back to hold the love, forgiveness and compassion and release the heart constrictions.
 
 
 
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me
 
 
30th September: Full Moon in Aries 1.17 PM AEST at 7 degrees 22 Aries, Sun opposite in Libra 8 degrees
...dramatic change as suppressed desires rise to the surface in a spectacular explosion...a huge release of tension!
 
 
Passions and suppressed desires come to the fore at this full moon. Prepare to be surprised, released and in the long term, hopefully delighted as this big energy takes us into new territory. We’ve been walking into this space of freedom for some time but this weekend provides a huge leap in consciousness.
 
 
‘Like a bolt out of the blue, fate steps in and sees you through’: This will be a huge and significant turning point for us as the Full Moon, all heightened and fiery emotion, activates Uranus and Pluto in what we call a T-square formation. This happens when planets form 90 degree angles between each other. It’s major challenge and opportunity! It’s going to be fast and immediate like a bolt out of the blue. There won’t be time for fear as we are catapulted out of our little burrows into an awakening!
 
 
Feisty and in fight mode: Make no mistake about this Full Moon’s power. Aggression from suppressed anger is likely to erupt and the urge to go into fighting mode is very real. Projecting onto others our own unconscious energies is highly likely. Of course awareness of the potential to do this and for others to do this, will bring us into a clear mind and heart. With Libra and Aries involved, it’s all about mirroring in relationships and reflections of ourselves in others.
On the personal level, relationship issues are likely to come to a head. The tensions are released once the moon has reached its fullness.
 
 
Global energies – people expressing anger and frustration: We are already seeing this in the global situation as the voice of minority groups rise up in protest, whether it’s about religious differences, austerity measures, refugees, military presence in war-torn zones etc. etc. Peoples who are feeling oppressed, unheard, unappreciated, undervalued by the governments, industry, financial institutions etc. are voicing their anger.
 
 
 
This is very much part of the Uranus/Pluto square which is ongoing for some time to come...on and off until 2015! It’s a long term movement of change processes being exerted on the ‘establishment’. It’s the 60’s hippie movement, flower people, peace demonstrations energy happening again but in the current world context. It’s Lennon’s ‘give peace a chance’ and Dylan’s “The times they are a changin’ “.
 
It will be a gradual process of change with flaring of tensions as Uranus/Pluto come to a close meeting. We’re in the tension of it now, easing somewhat before it flares again in March 2013. However, it is bubbling away until 2013. Remain vigilant to these sensitivities in yourself and others.
 
 
 
A wake up to all your deepest desires: Uranus sitting close to the moon is like electric shock therapy urging us to take action!
Uranus is all about sudden realisations, shocks...not necessarily frightening...which can shift our consciousness into a more evolved energy. At the Full Moon, Uranus, sitting right on the Full Moon, is activating our desires, our deep emotions which may have been suppressed. These feelings become conscious when the lightning strike of Uranus hits us.
 
 
Uranus rules freedom and radical action as it seeks to take that freedom. Worldy events are likely to reflect this urge for freedom as the battle ensues between freedom and oppression both at the personal and global level. Our radical individualism is calling us to wake up and take action!
 
 
Deeply embedded, unconscious energies will come to the surface:
Pluto in Capricorn squaring/challenging the Full moon/Uranus in Aries and Sun in Libra.
With Pluto in Capricorn, expect deep planetary energies to be released at this time, from the earth and from our own cellular memory. We need to build the light, purify our own lenses of perception, our own cell memories and to hold the light for ourselves and others.
 
 
The Full Moon is a culmination, bringing something to a head: What do you really want in this life...which road do you choose to take????
The Full Moon in Aries, is all about our ‘I am’ presence. With Uranus also in Aries, we’re being called into the spiritual warrior of fiery individualism, to be our unique selves. Embrace your own particular eccentricity...it is your future and your past.
 
Aim for equilibrium, but not at a cost to your own wellbeing...it IS all about love and that means self-love too:
 
You may feel all out of whack, taken over by a force which feels destabilising. Remember to allow yourself expression without ‘stuffing down’ your feelings. It’s a matter of being aware that an outburst, surge of energy could come out of nowhere, triggered by deep unconscious emotions and memories. We can only prepare to be surprised and yes...delighted, especially once we’ve cleared the air.
 
 
 
Balance and harmony are inevitable: Consciously come back to centre once feelings are released.
The Sun in Libra, opposite the Moon and Uranus, will be a reassuring and stabilising influence as the wake-up call hits us all. Saturn and Mercury, both in Libra, are helping us with this balancing act. The desire for peace is strong, but not at all costs. The path there may bring up turbulence which has been festering away inside, waiting for a release point. This is it!!!!
 
Remember to maintain the focus on peace and harmony as the destination, the arrival point regardless of the fiery explosion which may feel unsettling.
 
 
Take refuge from the ‘storms’ of disharmony: Nurture and comfort yourself, significant others where appropriate.
The ‘missing’ leg of the T-square will be in Cancer and is where we can find refuge, the comforting divine mother energy, the heart at home with itself. We may feel like hiding from the world, like the crab scurrying away to find the emotional security from all the fiery emotions bursting out of our deepest recesses.
 
We’ve come to a crossroads: The way is illuminated and the pathway is clear! Take the leap of faith!
 
The Full Moon brings our I am presence to light, out of the closet of ignorance! Keep your heart and mind connected and open to receive the truth of who you are and what you really desire.
 
Allow your fiery passionate self to come forward out of the darkness and to express it’s divine energy without fear of reprisal. At this Full Moon, the planetary forces offer us courage to take a leap of faith into being true to ourselves and to our potential destiny this lifetime.
 
 
The Crossroad signs in this picture say: Art, Writing, Music, Nowhere...
 
I invite you to imagine what words are on your own personal signpost at this crossroad...???? Don’t worry about getting all the words, the possibilities. They’ll float in to the psyche as you need them. Just be open. But don’t be surprised about what pops up for you at this time.
 
 
Make a wish at the Full Moon...for the fulfilment of your creative and divine potential and revelation of your next step along your own particular pathway.

The Sabian Symbols for the Full Moon energies: seem very aligned with the planetary forces, reinforcing messages of disruption and balance.
 
   
The Sabian symbol for the Sun at 8*Libra is: A blazing fireplace in a deserted home. In many ways, we have all ‘deserted’ our true home – our inner essence. But just because we’ve deserted our Self doesn’t mean that it still isn’t there. The fire burns brightly, giving us hope of light and warmth if we turn toward it. We just have to have the courage (which we’ll get from the Aries Moon/Uranus) to return to the Source.
The Sabian symbol for the Moon at 8* Aries is: A large woman’s hat with streamers blown by an East wind. Hats protect us from the elements as well as contain the energy of our crown chakras. They symbolize the focused power our thoughts. The streamers are the outward sign of the strong East wind that blows new insights, new energies and radical changes through our minds. We need new ‘rules’if we want to recreate a society, since with Libra, we start the second half of the year where we draw together and pool our resources.

When you wish upon a starMakes no diff'rence who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you

If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind

She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true

It’s all about love

Saturday 22 September 2012



Hi everyone!
 
What a balancing act we’ve been doing!
 
 
And will continue to do for some weeks as the Sun moves into Libra on 23rd September. The Libran Sun promises a welcome support while we move through this time of turbulence which is likely to be simmering through to the Aries Full Moon on 30th September - which will carry a punch!
 
 
What’s been happening: The bubbling cauldron of discontent
Well, it’s been quite obvious that the Uranus/Pluto square has really been triggering the outburst of simmering tensions in the public arena, most evident in the Islamic demonstrations of anger around the world. These issues have not been resolved and are likely to remain on the boil for some time to come.
 
 
In Australia, the gay marriage debate came to a head as Mercury in Libra (marriage/partnerships) opposed Uranus in Aries squaring Pluto. The establishment is being challenged in many ways, but it all comes back to individual values vs societal norms.
 
 
Personal tensions: time-bombs ticking! These tensions reaching a ‘blow out’ have also had their influence on the personal level in relationships of all kinds, as long term irritations and frustrations come to the point of resolution. For some, it has been a period of chaos which seems to have come out of nowhere.
 
What’s ahead:
Personal and karmic balancing and resolution in relationships:   
Intensification until 8th October...justice will be served!
 
We’re in the final weeks of Saturn in Libra where it has been for the past 3 years. These final weeks there’s an intensification of energy in these areas as issues of imbalance seek resolution.
 
 
If it feels like the relationships are bringing up long standing issues, trust that this is the perfect time for resolution. Just remember that the Uranus/Pluto square/challenge is bringing up ‘junk’ from the deepest part of the psyche and from the earth itself. We really are being called to ‘own’ our ‘stuff’, whether manifesting on the personal level and/or in resolution of our karmic commitment.
 
The clash...Individual vs status quo: Its all about freedom and oppression with a personal drive for new ways of being which can fulfil individual desires challenging the status quo, the deeply embedded core values of ‘the system’, the establishment, the structure that has been in place up to now.
 
The structure? - can be one which has been operating within a relationship, partnership, the family, the culture, the society, the religion, the government, industry etc. etc. In fact, anything that has been accepted as established as a ‘fixed’ tradition, beyond question, is now being questioned...if it needs to be changed for the better.
 
One on one relationships can be reformulated, reconstructed, deconstructed, come to a new ideal and way of operating. Keep talking and negotiating new ways of being, relating whilst Mercury is in Libra until 6th. Peace can reign again in our hearts, minds and lives if we make the most of these energies and defuse the time bomb that has been ticking away inside.
 
 
 
23rd September: Sun moves into Libra 12.49 am AEST
...the goal is peace, harmony, divine grace
...and partnership!
Libran time can be a blessed release from the cares of the world as we feel called to make peace through attaining equilibrium, balance and agreement with ourselves as well as in all one on one relationships.
 
 
Libra wants peace at all costs and will do everything to negotiate, sort out any problems which may be creating disharmony. However, ironically, this may demand creating disruption of the status quo in order for issues to be flushed out of hiding. Libra will do anything to restore balance...that’s it’s ‘job’. Libran energy is peacemaking through negotiation, heart-to-heart talking.
 
 
Libra is ruled by Venus and that’s all heart, gentle feminine energy that seeks harmony, peace and the vision of the beautiful and artistic. 
 
I chose the swans as a perfect symbol for this Libran time. They reflect harmony, balance, grace and finding the beauty of true self. Remember the story of ‘The Ugly Duckling’?
 
 
They also mate for life and this reflects very much the Libran energy which rules all one-on-one committed and long-term relationships, whether friendship, business or marriage. As a pair, they are fiercely territorial which relates to what I said above...disrupting the apparent peace to bring real peace.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

We’re likely to welcome the Libran Sun which will help us to mop up after the fallout of last week’s Uranus/Pluto challenge. Mercury is still in Libra, helping us with the dialogue of peace. We’re more likely feel prepared to negotiate with ourselves and others.
 
 
 

Full Moon in Aries on 30th: Explosive, electric, clearing and awakening! Seeing red, feeling red, clearing base chakra energy!
Try to clear up as much as possible before the Full Moon energies start impacting on us from the 27th September. 
 
 
 
 
The Full Moon in Aries on 30th will carry a powerful punch with the Full Moon sitting with Uranus, both in Aries and still squaring Pluto. Unresolved emotional energies are likely to be explosive, sudden and electric. It’s not all bad as the Full Moon energy promises to bring a major clearing of blockages and with that an accompanying aha! experience.

There is no special significance attached to this next section being in a different font, colour and in capitals.  It seems to have a mind of its own and I haven't learnt how to control this...yet!
 

23rd September, The Equinox: The movement of the Sun into Libra marks the Equinox (Spring in Southern hemisphere/Autumn in Northern) and a significant turning point of the year, marking the midpoint between the June and December solstices.

It marks the day when there is equal balance between day and night.

 

 


What’s the energetic significance of the Equinox: Make a wish, set an intention, ask for assistance! Invoke peace and harmony!

The equinoxes, like the solstices, are traditionally regarded as magical days of the year, signifying a whole new energy coming in to act upon us for the next quarter. It’s regarded as a time, like the solstice, when the veil between the worlds is thinner. It’s a great time to light a candle, make a wish, make a commitment and call in the cosmic forces to support you on your journey.

It marks the beginning of the last quarter of 2012, taking us to that ‘date with destiny’, the solstice, on 21st December, 2012. The next quarter promises change and possible chaos for many as the energies are accelerating us into our deepest desires!

 

The Brotherhood of Man: ‘United we stand, divided we fall and if our backs should ever be against the wall, we’ll be together, together...you and I’


 


 
 
Get into the flow of the Libran energy to be ready for the Full Moon! United we stand!
 
 
For all the Australian fans of ‘The Swans’ AFL team, including my family: I chose the Swans symbol some time ago, not realising that the AFL Grand Final will be played on the Full Moon in Aries. I don’t follow the football. I just love the synchronicity of this life!
For all these supporters/family, including my mum and dad, now passed on, ‘Go the Swans’!
 
 
Upcoming Dates:
30th September: Full Moon in Aries
4th October: Venus into Virgo
5th October: Saturn into Scorpio
6th October: Mercury into Scorpio
8th October: Mars moves into Sagittarius until 17th November
 
That’s it folks!
 
Make the most of this week because next week promises to be ongoing planetary changes following on from the Full Moon. Hang on to your hats...or rather, take refuge from any storms raging whether within or without. 
 
Remember the old 60’s slogan ‘Make love, not war!’



 
 
Love and blessings as always
