Are you ready to reach for the stars????
Your own personal star interacting with the greater
cosmos??? Own your magic!
A changeable week with a Full Moon and planetary
changes:
We’ve an amazing week ahead with a culminating Full Moon
in Aquarius as well as the Sun and Mercury moving into earthy Virgo building on
the energies of Venus who has been leading the way.
Venus, planet of love, leading the
way:
Venus is the first of the personal, faster moving
planets pushing into new territory, having only just slipped out of Virgo into
Libra this past week. She’s now triggering a Grand Cross!
Mars still ‘rolling in the deep’ of watery
Cancer, washed out...maybe:
Mars is coming up behind Mercury and will be leaving
watery Cancer on 28th August, a week away. Honestly, we won’t know ourselves
once Mars leaves Cancer and steps into the firepower of Leo. Mars is learning to
operate in tandem with the feminine energy as an equal partner. You can see he
isn’t too happy with it all!!!
As above, so below!:
The magician calls in the divine
entitlement to earthly life!!!
The theme for this upcoming week must be this gem of
wisdom from the Emerald Tablet and a range of ancient texts, as the Aquarian Full Moon calls us to reach for the stars and the Virgo
Sun calls us to send down our roots to the earth.
Full moon Aquarian inspiration coming to earth
with a Virgo Sun: Accept and enact your ‘magical’ power!
Head in the clouds, feet in the earth! Translated
as...bringing our dreams to earth!
"For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but
the sight of the stars makes me dream." Vincent van Gogh
(1853-1890)
Full Moon in Aquarius at
11.44 am AEST 28 degrees 11...freeing the spirit!
It’s an Aquarian show:
Freedom calls...the
unconscious is released into the Leo Sun!
Unusually, this is the second full moon in Aquarius this
year. A month ago, we had the Full Moon at 0.06 degrees Aquarius at the very
beginning of the sign. We’ve had a month of integrating the lunar Aquarian
energies, seeing where we belong in the cosmos.
Get the Aquarian message: Freedom. rebellion
and innovation!
Two full moons in the same sign a month apart is really
hammering home the Aquarian message of freedom and expanded thinking. Make the
most of it to bring in new visions and ideas!
Balancing the Sun and Moon:
as within, so without!
At the Full Moon, the Sun is opposite the moon so we are
called to balance Sun and Moon, outer and inner lives!
There couldn’t be a more positive energy than this Full
Moon to demonstrate your mastery of the inner/outer life and the divine/earthly
balance.
Sun and Moon: It’s ‘me’ and ‘them’, that
is...everyone!Team Aquarius under the solar energies of the Leo
Sun, has been insistently nudging us to embrace and fully integrate the energy
of our authentic selves as an aspect of humanity and the cosmos.
Mastery: The final degree of
any zodiac sign..signifies a major shift in mastery consciousness!
We couldn’t have a stronger astrological opportunity for
us to enact our inner ‘magician’ power!
Take hold of the wand of power and call in your rightful
entitlement!
Mastery...the full moon Aquarius...
mastery in learning and integration about humanity.
Mastery...the Sun in
Leo opposite the full moon...mastery in learning and integration about
our authentic selves...who we truly are!
Win-win: Alignment of self with the universe!
Embodying mastery of earth and sky!
This Full Moon is all about the culmination force of the
authentic self (Leo) in the physical world in alignment with the universal
energies (Aquarius) of the world. When we align our true selves with the
universal energies, it’s a win/win!!!
Let the inspiration in: don’t push the limits
to bring things to earth until the Virgo Sun and Mercury come in!...2 days
time!
The Virgo Sun coming in two days time will be
reinforcing this message, helping us bring the inspiration to earth. For the
two days following the Full Moon you may feel like a space cadet...go with it.
The Sun and Mercury in Virgo will be a powerful natural boost to get going on
the physical dimension, so don’t push yourself to ground yourself before time.
Aquarius Full Moon: opening
the doors of the unconscious and the memory banks! Freedom
beckons!
Freedom or bust: The oppressed
forces held within the unconscious, the memory banks are busting out of jail as
radical Aquarius demands freedom...nothing less! As old energies leave for the
‘promised land’, the new energies come through!
Aquarius is bursting with innovative ideas and ‘out of
the box’ thinking and this is the energy of this Full Moon which is handing us
these possibilities IF we take the time to listen, to be still, to really hear
the universe and the cosmos as the planets and stars speak to us.
Remind yourself of Vincent’s quote above and look to the
‘stars’ and of course the moon! The ideas are pouring in! ...if we let
them
Getting out of the jail of our
minds, hearts and bodies...of the past!
Aquarius is holding the bolt
cutters!
Aquarius is about radical freedom through the higher
dimensions. Its energy is very much aligned with the starry cosmos and the
inspiration that is available for us all if we but reach for that starry
wisdom.
Do you believe you’re free? If you
believe, then it is so!
It’s there for the taking just like the freedom that we
have but seem unable to claim as long as we hold to the strings and ties that
bind...the mind and heart in denial, contained by the memories implicit in our
very bodies, minds and spirits.
Freedom is an attitude: Whatever it takes!
We live on a planet of limitation and restriction but
nothing can imprison our spirits, hearts and minds unless we let
it.
When a door closes on something in our lives, we may
feel blocked and restricted. We just need to keep looking for another door and
never giving up. If we can’t find the door immediately, we’re tested to
maintain faith in ourselves, our pathway, our connection to the universal
energies and our entitlement to fulfilment! There’s always another
door!!!
Leo Sun, Mercury and Regulus:
Joyful messages of good
fortune and positive vibes! Believe it and it will be
so!
Opposite the Full Moon, the Leo Sun is with Mercury,
sitting on the fixed star Regulus at 29 degrees Leo.
Regulus, Lion’s heart: The most Royal
Star. Raphael, the Healing Archangel, the Watcher of the North. Nobility,
ambition, alertness, great power, status, leadership, sudden downfall,
accidents, violence. Said by some to be the most benefic star in the
universe.
What an auspicious culminating energy! Keep reminding
yourself of your entitlement to your own personal good fortune and divine
path!
The Leo Sun is calling us into the light of being our
true selves, our divine child who has no outer layers of learned convention.
Aspects impacting at this Full
Moon:
Getting out of the box!
‘Clunk, click’ is the Grand Cross and the Grand Water
Trine!
The following energies are still in play through the
Full Moon and into the end of the month. As the Grand Cross challenges with
‘clunk’, the Grand Water Trine clears the energies and things ‘click’ into
place. Things are moving along quickly!
Grand Water Trine:
Ongoing
clearing and healing the emotions and emotional wounds!
We’re swimming out of the ‘cave’ of entrapment in the
emotions, the emotions that have been holding us to ransom.
Jupiter in Cancer, North Node in Scorpio and Chiron in
Pisces...big powerful healing energies through this time.
The Grand Water Trine Energies will be enhanced by the
Full Moon energy which is all about emotion but being in Aquarius gives us a
handle of rational removal from being drowned emotionally. We’ve been there for
most of the Summer so we’re used to this energy. With the Full Moon, it feels
like the Sabian Symbol for the Leo Sun...the mermaid climbing out onto a
rock!
Grand Cross: The crossroads, breaking
point which gets out of the boxed in thinking of our own consciousness!
We’ve got the ‘key’ for the door!!!
This is a cardinal cross which holds the
energy of action!!! Fast action!!!
The four cardinal signs, Capricorn, Cancer, Aries and
Libra, want to get things moving and now!
We won’t be hanging around at the crossroads for
too long: The impetus is there along with the Full Moon energies to
break free of past restrictions which have been hampering us. It’s a
breakout...for us all!!! Decisions will be made quickly releasing ‘doors’ of
imprisonment!
27th August: Grand Cross culminating with
possible challenges to let go and allow new opportunities to open up for us!
The Grand Cross has been impacting us since Venus moved
into Libra a few days ago. However, it is not ‘tight’, that is not fully formed
until 25th/26th August when Venus moves into position opposite Aries and
squaring Pluto and Jupiter.
The crossroads have arrived and we just have to decide
to go through the door...click!!!
These crossroads will come up again in the coming months
with a different ‘angle’ on what’s happening. These crossroads offer a brief
‘grrr’ and the ‘aaaaaah’!
Quote from:
www.willowsweb.blogspot.com.au The lesser benefic and relationship planet Venus enters
Libra on August 16, forming the first cardinal Grand Cross August 23 - 27. This
is four 90-degree square aspects (frictional, clashing, dynamic) from bodies in
all four cardinal signs (leadership, initiative, new direction).
Powerful energies of change with the Grand Cross
and the Grand Water Trine...but not a Grand Sextile.
The Grand Cross and Grand Water Trine do not form
another Grand Sextile as they do not meet the geometrical conditions of a Grand
Sextile. A good explanation here if you’d like to read more,
Sabian Symbols for the Full Moon: Theme of
emergence!
The Sabian Symbols for this Full Moon/Sun energy
certainly have a sense of emergence...from the chrysalis, from the water onto
land. This resonates to what’s happening to us astrologically as more of us are
pulling out of the tenacious fingers of the past and being reborn into the light
of a new day.
The Sabian Symbol for the full Moon is Aquarius
29: A Butterfly Emerging From A Chrysalis.
Keywords: Slow building of confidence. Coming out
into a fuller participation in the bigger picture. Growing up and out. Emerging
from the dark. Leaving yesterday behind. Becoming more and more beautiful.
Finding one’s feet or wings. Metamorphosis. Huge changes in the works. Giving up
struggling. The drama of new life unfolding.
The Caution: Failing to allow changes to
be experienced. Feeling like one will never “arrive”. Struggling to emerge ahead
of time. Feeling confined. Being tied to the past. Rushing leading to
disorientation or injury.
Exactly opposite the
Butterfly Emerging degree is the Sun on this full Moon -
Leo 29: A Mermaid Has Climbed To The Rocky Shore Of A
Bleak Coast She Awaits The Prince Who Will Bring Her
Immortality.
Keywords: Coming into conscious form. New ways of
being. Transformation. New forms emerging out of the past. Needing, and probably
expecting, recognition. Feeling different from the crowd. Learning to stand on
your own two feet. Problems with feet and legs. Longing to make an
impression.
The
Caution: Focusing on social or rational aspects before being
ready. Naivety. Being thrown in the deep end. Relying on relationships too much.
Looking to the other for validation of one’s existence. Co-dependent
behavior.
Astronomy:
Blue
Moon: This Full Moon is what has become known as a Blue Moon.
23rd August:
Sun moves into Virgo at 9.01 am
AEST...healing the physical!
Earthy, grounding, practical and spiritually healing of
the everyday affairs of our ‘working’ lives. There is no reason why we cannot
receive our divine entitlement to the support of the physical world.
Traditionally, Virgo is the sign which signifies where
we give service to others, often without thought of recompense financially
and/or without attaching to the size of the financial return.
Altruism is a powerful
healer:
Virgo is where we volunteer and give freely, sometimes
in detriment to ourselves, yet at the same time carrying the immense healing
power which comes from altruistic behaviours and actions in the world.
Virgo as win-win:
A ‘win’
for us is a ‘win’ for humanity!
However, we need to keep reframing the concept of the
selfless service of Virgo, exhausted from giving, giving and not receiving. We
need to walk a balanced path of giving and receiving.
When we embrace the energy of Virgo as service which is
exalted we step onto our path of destiny, life’s work, divine mission. We are
responding to our own personal ‘calling’ and the universe responds accordingly.
This is the higher path to experiencing our devotion to
what resonates to our talents, gifts, abilities and passions.
Look out Mr Messy! Here comes Mrs/Mr Mops!
They’re here and ready with the
duster, broom and de-cluttering urge!
Virgo is spring cleaning energy, whether or not it’s
Spring! She doesn’t care about seasons. She just wants everything
ship-shape!
This energy can send you into overdrive if you’re not
careful as you want keep going, going, going until you drop.
Don’t!
Take pleasure in the mundane tasks but know when to
stop. This energy will help you tackle all those tasks which have been put on
hold. Suddenly it seems that the mundane isn’t quite so daunting now you’ve got
your spirit back.
Healing: Virgo is the sign of the healer...so all
systems go! Purify and heal...purging mind, body, spirit, physical
environment!
Virgo energy can take us into perfectionism which can
lead to self-criticism and over analysis. We all have the capacity for this at
some time, some of us more than others depending on our natal planets.
Purify However, Virgo’s ceaseless
search for perfection is her role as the purifier of energy which could lead her
to be seen as the ‘cleaner of the zodiac’. That is her job. So, everyone, time
to clean up your life on all levels. Virgo is working with you.
The purge is on!: This cleansing
process applies to our physical world including home/house, workplace and...the
physical body!
The time is perfect for this purging...healing through
purification which is the mojo for Virgo!
Purify or perish: There’s a ‘boots
and all’ feel about Virgo when she’s in full flight. Nothing can stop here,
especially when Mercury joins the Sun in her sign on the same day.
24th August:
Mercury moves into Virgo at 8.36 am
AEST...making mincemeat of the mundane!!!
Mercury is a ruler of Virgo, along with Chiron, so is
very happy to come home! Mercury is home for 16 days of activity...busy, busy,
busy!
Be careful not to go overboard with this energy as it won’t to stop. Just
look at Minnie’s face to get the picture of how you feel when you get into Virgo
workaholic mode!!!
Another sexist pic...hard to find Mickey cleaning!!! Just
saying.
Be warned! Don’t turn yourself into mincemeat in
tackling the mundane!
Make the most of this energy which wants to move, move
fast, clear the decks, sort and tidy, get practical with problem solving.
But....remember to rest and take time out on the earth for head clearing and
rebalancing energy.
‘Happy talkin’ talkin’ happy talk’! Mercury in Virgo is
communication gone crazy!!! Yatta yatta yatta...try to make it
interesting!
Remember what Virgo is about...service/divine mission.
If you’re happy and fulfilled, you’ll be chatting to anyone and everyone. This
energy has a life of its own, as long as you maintain your sensitive Virgo
antenna to check in with yourself about right action at the right time. Rest
time!
Mercury is the mind and communication. Virgo is
analytical, organising, neat and tidy. Perfect for gaining clarity and focus,
sorting out problems mentally and feeling joy as you enact your divine path on
planet earth.
Commerce and agreements:
Positive energies for commercial talks and agreements!
Remember...win-win!
Mercury rules commerce and being at
home in Virgo, is more than happy to fire up our desires in this area of life.
Under the light of the Sun in Virgo and aligned with Mercury, the desire will be
strong to develop, plan, organise and analyse commercial ventures of all kinds.
This is a good time to do the research and prepare the
ground for the New Moon in Virgo on 5th September when it will be ideal to
launch the initial stages of your new venture. Similarly if you’re looking for
new employment, expanding your business, exploring new options in relation to
work.
Mercury goes retrograde on 20th October, so plenty of
time before that shadow retrograde starts (first week of October) to impose
restrictions on us.
Ordering and analysing: Mentally and
physically
This is about more than just the physical because it
involves Mercury which is the mind.
So, yes, sorting and tidying of mundane matters in the
‘filing cabinets’ in the office as well as the filing cabinets of the mind.
Great energy for analytical work and projects. Learning, data collection,
integrating knowledge, coming to conclusions are all in favour.
The mind’s engaged:
Possible resolution of problems which seemed insoluble!
The mind will be sorting and tidying, analysing and
examining information/data coming in and/or which has been coming in for some
time. There’s a clarity being offered here which can finally sort out all kinds
of problems which have been frothing around in the psyche.
Healing: Mercury is the mind,
Virgo is the sign of the healer! Clear the cobwebs, purge the
mind!
Amazing energies available for healing the mind and
consciousness! Just imagine those light rays pouring into your mind and
clearing all those cell memories holding past limitations. This will feel like
cobwebs being cleared out of your consciousness.
Clarity is on offer as old resistant energies are
cleared from the mindset!
On 9th September Mercury will be moving on to Libra
where relationships and balancing come into play.
