Hi everyone!

Our Sagittarian horses are rearing up ready to move after months of being held in the vice like grip of a year of karmic resolution, planetary evolution along with all the limitations of our physical existence, a lockdown of movement, social interaction and economic growth and expansion. Our inner horses are looking for some freedom of movement. It’s coming!

Still on the Capricorn karmic passenger train:

Offloading baggage at every stop!

Our Capricorn train is slowly cutting through the limitations of the astrological landscape. There’s no getting off these rails yet even though our spirits are yearning for release from the ongoing physical challenges of 2020.

Brought to our knees:

Money, security, income, home, health

The global crisis has hit many of us very hard with job losses, income losses, health challenges as well as economic crisis in the home. How many have become homeless this year? The world health crisis has impacted the health of thousands, along with loss of lives. Many of our number have passed over from the physical world while others are still going under with illness processing multitude of lifetimes and resolving karmic contracts.

Expansion of consciousness: Trusting, Accepting, Surrendering

Whilst so many of us have been brought to a standstill in many ways, we have been forced to evolve in consciousness, the way we think, feel, relate and live on such a physically oriented planet. The physical challenges in our bodies morphing and transmuting the old consciousness has been huge. Not everyone is consciously engaged in this process as those of us who chose this as soul work, stand in the front line clearing the jungle of ignorance, old survival mechanisms and the history of earth held within our ancestral and cell memory banks.

Well, we’re getting ready to get moving again with this month of December, a turning point for change with two eclipses shifting consciousness suddenly and dramatically along with the big social planets of Jupiter and Saturn moving out of Capricorn into Aquarius just before Christmas.

29th November: Neptune stations direct at 18 degrees 10 Pisces at 11.36 am AEDT...a rebirth?

Out of the depths of emotional exploration: Surfacing now!

Out of the watery retrograde labyrinth of the past 5 months, Neptune stations direct preparing to carry us forward into bringing some of our higher spiritual insights into our earthly lives. We’ve been to the depths of the ocean of despair, disappointment, grief, anger, resentment and disenchantment with life on earth in 2020.

Current exhaustion forcing us to ‘go with the flow’!

The exhaustion of this past week and next week can be put down to this slowing of Neptune as we are forced to just go with the flow, drift and dream. It seems that even though our Mercury and Mars are moving forward, we are still being held by this ancient consciousness of Neptune in Pisces, taken back to the ocean of our earthly origins.

How was your journey? Are you ready to rise up into the light?

Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac governing spiritual elevation when we are ready to release the prisoner within, the victim consciousness, the trapped ‘slave’ of the earthly dimension. Finding the middle ground in Pisces is almost impossible with its symbol, two fish swimming in opposite directions saying it all. Which way are you going? Up or down. We straddle the two worlds moving from entrapment of the addiction to the victim to elevation to spiritual mastery.

Time to choose: Escape artist or Master...it’s up to us

Neptune in Pisces is the call to ‘rise above it’, the ordinary, the mundane, the fast food of earth’s dominant ideology, dependence on the material world at the expense of the spiritual. Of course we need both, but the imbalance of our world has led to the impoverishment of people, the landscape, the air we breathe. The call is to reclaim our spirit to invigorate and sustain us.

Time to face the music and make the music:

Neptune direct awakens the creative spirit and the spiritual master within....own it, be it, live it!

In ‘old’ astrology, Pisces was known as the sign of ‘sex, drugs, rock ‘n roll’ all escape mechanisms we use here on earth to get away from the pain and suffering of our physical reality. These escape hatches have been well used this year of challenge to help so many get through difficulties.

Now: Be open and ready to experience new urges with respect to spiritual direction and artistic expression. Neptune rules artistry, the fluid forms of expression such as art, music, dance. Embrace the creative artist within. The Sabian Symbol seems particularly appropriate.

Pisces 19

A MASTER INSTRUCTING THEIR DISCIPLE

This shows the ability, or the need, to be a student, a “Disciple”, or a teacher, a “Master”. At times you’ll find yourself being either one or the other. You may be the teacher or the pupil, but remember that it is often the teacher that learns and the pupil that teaches. This shows taking time for the transfer of higher knowledge and wisdom. It’s also a sign to listen to your own higher wisdom. Someone with something worthwhile to say will usually find someone eager to listen. When you have a need to learn something, it seems that the “Master” will always appear. To give and to receive. Listening and learning. Knowledge, wisdom and spirituality. Knowing what questions to ask. Doing the homework. Manuscripts, books and lessons.

30th November: Full Moon Gemini at 8 degrees 38 Gemini 8.20 pm AEDT...and so we rise

Penumbral LUNAR Eclipse

Art: Alessandra Placucci

Completion, culmination, illumination! Big endings!

The Gemini Full Moon opens us up to the messages from the subconscious, our inner archetypes, sub-personalities, the cosmos and hopefully our higher consciousness as we tune into our personal hotline. Gemini, ruled by Mercury the messenger can expose us to a whole lot of chattering ‘voices’ or can be a conduit for wise counsel and spiritual advice.

Calling all children...come out, come out!

After a heavy duty year of Capricorn serious business, we need to reclaim our children, our inner children who have been languishing in the shadows of 2020. Most of us have had to be extra attentive to finding new ways of enjoying life, of having fun. It’s been a big ask for a world dependent on social stimulation and the joys of the physical life on earth to find alternative pathways to pleasure.

Sudden, unexpected breakthroughs...insights, understanding!

A lunar eclipse!

With an eclipse, part of the moon is hidden and then revealed, offering insights on what has been hidden from our perception, from our mind and heart. A lunar eclipse brings forth an extra load of information out of the darker recesses of our psyche. This is above and beyond the usual full moon download.

The eclipse curtain opens and reveals!

The eclipse pulls back a curtain which has kept things hidden from ourselves. The eclipse vortex is open and we’re hurtling through the change process for the final eclipses for 2020!

Venus, our heart energy a key player at the Full Moon! Shock healing!

With a ‘Finger of God’ operating at this Full Moon, there is a likelihood of a sudden awakening and healing of the heart. Venus, our heart energy will be opposite Uranus, the lightning striker.

The ‘Finger of God’ is formed with the Full Moon in Gemini and Chiron in Aries straddling Uranus in Taurus. The ‘Finger’ points directly at Venus so it’s a heart stopping, heart opening, heart healing moment.

Gemini Full Moon opposite Sagittarian Sun: ‘Think global act local’!

The Sagittarian Sun sits opposite the Gemini Full Moon in a balancing act between fire and air, the outer and the inner life. But the Full Moon is the most powerful time of the lunar month when she shines most powerfully igniting out inner knowledge and revealing the truths which lie hidden within.

Both of these signs are about learning, teaching, communication, travel working as a balancing act between the local and the global. It’s time to activate that old catchcry of the past in preparing for new ways, being open to learning new ways.

Calling all teachers and students of the earth, of the cosmos:

No door knocking please! lol

The planetary lunar nodes are currently aligned in these two signs with Gemini calling us to the North Node, to evolve the old wisdom and truth of Sagittarius into the Gemini community of social interaction at the local level, from complicated ideas into simple realities that speak to everyone.

Every single person on this planet matters and is entitled to know that their lives are valuable, that they are contributing to a better world. For those of us who know...share with others whenever you can wherever you can. Just one word, phrase or story here and there can make a difference.

The book of wisdom and divine knowledge is open and waiting:

Our choice...wisdom or ignorance, growth or stagnation!

The Moon rules the past and in Gemini, the open channel for divine messages, we are given the gifts of knowledge of the past, the memories and of the ancestors, their knowledge and relevance in our lives. The Full Moon planetary energy is an open book of inner knowledge just waiting to reveal itself to us, if we are ready. Are we ready to share our knowledge with everyone we meet?

Sabian Symbols for the Full Moon: From Lynda Hill www.sabiansymbols.com

The Full Moon: Gemini 9

A MEDIEVAL ARCHER STANDS WITH THE EASE OF ONE WHOLLY SURE OF HIMSELF, BOW IN HAND, HIS QUIVER FILLED WITH ARROWS

This Symbol implies the ability of being able to take aim at something and achieving a bull’s eye - straight at the target. You need to be sure of what you want; that your aim is true, arm yourself and go after what you want. Your situation is one that requires skill, focus and knowledge of local conditions. There is no need to just rush forward hoping for the best, as this will only leave you feeling inadequate when you do find something. Compose yourself for a moment and realize that you have the ammunition and the sure marksmanship before taking aim and committing yourself. Make a strategy. Hit the target. Being armed and ready. Getting to the point. Accuracy and strength. Sending a message true and clear. Skills and confidence. Warriors.

The Sun: Sagittarius 9

A MOTHER LEADS HER SMALL CHILD STEP BY STEP UP THE STAIRS

This Symbol shows being able to lend a hand to those who need it, whether they are youngsters or not. It pictures situations where someone needs to assist those less able, experienced or indeed, less evolved, to overcome difficulties and to rise up and learn to cope, learn or understand. You may find yourself as either the experienced or the inexperienced or possibly finding the mother within you guiding your own inner child. It can also show someone caring for elderly relatives or friends. Whatever it is, one needs to have a sense of patience, caring and understanding. Lending a guiding hand to others is very important. The inner child. Training. Careful consideration of other's failings. Helping others to help themselves. Stewardship. Supervising parents. Handicaps. Alzheimer’s. Slow progress.

The Astronomy of the Full Moon Eclipse:

In a penumbral lunar eclipse, only the more diffuse outer shadow of Earth – the penumbra – falls on the moon’s face. This third kind of lunar eclipse is much more subtle, and much more difficult to observe, than either a total or partial eclipse of the moon. There is never a dark bite taken out of the moon, as in a partial eclipse. The eclipse never progresses to reach the dramatic minutes of totality. At best, at mid-eclipse, very observant people will notice a dark shading on the moon’s face. Others will look and notice nothing at all.

2nd December: Mercury moves to Sagittarius at 6.50 am AEDT

...freedom of the mind beckons!

Until 21st December

Wow! All those mindbending confusions are clearing! Mercury is released from the soul searching discovery tour in the Scorpio depths and liberates his inner horses, those thoughts that are waiting to race ahead with ideas, options and adventure possibilities.

Wake up everyone! Eyes open, mind open and let’s fly some ideas!

In Sagittarius, Mercury finds his wings to take flight, powered by the fiery spirit of potential liberation from the depths of the past introspective months of challenging navel gazing. Mercury wants action...of the mind!

Commercial ideas get a boost:

Big ideas for growth and expansion!

Make the most of this get up and go invigorating energy as it’s only with us for a few weeks before Mercury moves back into practical, serious Capricorn. That’s when we’ll want to ground some of these ideas. Social chat is where it’s at!

Sharing and exchanging ideas is in!

Time to share some big ideas with others in everyday conversation, in social chat, in friendly interactions out there in the community. A word in the right place at the right time can change a person’s day as well as their life as well as our own. Teaching and learning go together!

That’s all folks! Hugs all around!

Yes, we’re all on the cosmic tightrope even though physically we’re still feeling very much grounded, weighed down by earthly concerns and energies.

Our inner children are crying out for release from the tedium of this year, the lockstep progress of a global lockdown, a feeling of stagnation as traditional joyful entertainment and stimulation has been removed from our lives. We’ve had to dig deep to find the joy of life without the traditional social interaction with others. After all, we are human and need that spirit of connectedness for our growth, adventure, excitement and stimulation. We are social animals.

Well, maybe this Full Moon will set off some chain effects around the world, an ending, a completion of that isolation energy of this year signifying a new beginning on the agenda with the Sagittarian New Moon Solar Eclipse in two weeks. That will welcome in the changes of Saturn and Jupiter finishing their Capricorn train ride and their entry into Aquarius. Whoo!

Love and blessings to us all as we embrace, really embrace this Full Moon as a turning point for the planet, setting us up to welcome the ongoing changes for the remainder of December. Congratulations to all of us who have made it to the final month of 2020.
