from the chair

Hi everyone! Let’s take that stairway to heaven! This update is all about the Full Moon this week.

We’ve been travelling step by step along the pathway to freedom. The upcoming Full Moon in Aquarius opposite the Leo Sun is giving us a huge boost to activate our hearts and minds. The planetary configurations at this time are supporting these inner changes and preparing us for a big leap forward.

2nd August: Full Moon in Aquarius 1.27 PM AEST at 11 degrees Aquarius...a call to liberation and freedom! I am that I am!

This full moon is shining its light on our own personal essence, calling forth our radical individualism, what is unique to us, what has been hidden away inside us in some secret chamber.

Find your tribe...call them in: Wolves are pack animals, despite the ‘lone wolf’ image. It seems particularly appropriate at this time...our lone wolves have been developing our capacity love and acceptance in somewhat isolated situations...as we are being called into connecting with our ‘packs’, our soul families.

Why am I here?: The Aquarius energy strengthens us with a true sense of self and an insight into our place in the world. With this Full Moon, we’re given glimpses of what we have to offer the world.

Be unique and find your unique ‘tribe’: Aquarius energy is focussed on humanitarian concerns, communities, friendships. Think ‘soul family’. Aquarian energy offers us a sense of pride in being who we are and the inner strength to break the shackles that limit and confine us.

It’s time to say ‘Enough is enough!’

Come out and shine...no more fear:

The Leo Sun gives us the courage to live our passion, to lead ourselves out of the woods!

The Leo Sun opposite the moon is supporting the Aquarian moon’s mission...being more of who you are and stepping up to the plate.

It is calling forth our willingness to shine the light on ourselves, to be willing to shine.

You don’t have to be an extrovert in the popular sense of the word, like the advertising images imply...‘Things go better with Coca Cola’, people jumping around acting happy. It’s about BEING content, self-contained, at peace with yourself.

Offload doubts and fears: This is about no ‘second-guessing’, ‘will I/won’t I’ conflicts. Are you ready to trust your inner guidance, inner voice? Have you broken with the patterns of the past that hold you in doubt and fear. It seems it’s time to clarify, gain focus and build resolution. Soon it will be time to test the water of our resolve. For now, build our strength, self-belief and throw off all the ‘false’ selves.

Waiting and watching, building strength and resolve: However, we are still in Mercury retrograde until 8th August, so the resolution of new directions is happening mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Allow the new developments in thinking and emotion to take form. Call in from the universe what you need to move on...and wait, trusting that all is well.

At the moment, many of us are in a void of nothing, with nothing significant on the horizon. We’re WAITING...remember that word???? And in the waiting time, we’re building our energies...strength, clarity, dedication, joy and passion.

We’re on the diving board, preparing ourselves to take the leap of faith when the time is right.

What’s happening with the planets at this Full Moon...playing together and firing us up!

It’s all fire and air energy and you know how fire and air work together. The mind and heart are being fired up, igniting us mentally and emotionally to bring together our own particular recipe for success and fulfilment in the world.

The Air trine, three air sign energies working together:

liberating memories of past imbalances of the masculine/feminine, reunion and balance

The full Moon in Aquarius, Mars in Libra and Jupiter with the South Node of the Moon in Gemini

...what does this gobbledygook mean????

Let’s float some new ideas! and work together!

The Moon...the feminine, intuitive, memory - in Aquarius...radical break through of the individual into humanity

Mars...the masculine, fiery warrior, driver of our own personal vehicle – in Libra...harmony and balance in relationships, inner/outer, masculine/feminine

South Node of the Moon...past energies of the collective – in Gemini...re-unification and reunion of the polarised energies, especially of the mind

The Fire trine, three fire sign energies working together:

igniting passion, stimulating new courageous action to align with earth’s evolution

The Sun with Mercury in Leo, Uranus in Aries, North Node of the Moon in Sagittarius

...more gobbledygook???

Let’s fire the inner child with exciting ideas which resonate with the heart and call us in to expression in the wider world!

The Sun...the masculine, authentic self with Mercury...communication, movement – in Leo...passion, creativity, expression of true divine child self

Uranus...the awakener, the eccentric, the unique – in Aries...the courage and self belief to take action

North Node of the Moon...where we are currently developing as a collective – in Sagittarius...big picture, world view, wisdom, truth, crusader energy

Other planetary energies at this Full Moon:

More air energy with Venus in Gemini trining Saturn in Libra: Experience some karmic rebalancing of our divine feminine energy

Uranus continues to challenge Pluto, but at this time we have a bit of a reprieve as to the intensity of this energy as we had a couple of weeks back. They come back into an intense meeting in mid September.

The Sabian symbols from Cathy Pagano: http://www.wisdom-of-astrology.com/astrostarsarticles/aquarius-new-moon-2012

The Sabian Symbol for the Moon at 11* Aquarius is: During a silent hour, a man receives a new inspiration which may change his life.

When our ego-consciousness quiets down and we listen inside, we can receive life-changing messages. We just have to believe in them, which doesn’t mean mindlessly following a message that goes against your deepest moral values. If our inner voice says ‘to kill’ – please check in a good therapist. But when a message comes to us that is centered in our personal values – not in the cultural values of state and church– then listen, for I’ve seen those messages change people’s lives. Sometimes these messages come to us in dreams and visions – so learn symbolic language to understand what messages are trying to come through.

The Sabian Symbol for the Sun at 11* Leo is: Children play on a swing hanging from the branches of a huge oak tree.

This image suggests that we have to ‘become children again’ – (engage our imaginations) and hang and play, suspended on the great old traditions that have sustained us

PS. Please note that last update under Upcoming Dates had the incorrect degree of Full Moon...my error. The truth...the Full Moon is at 11 degrees

Upcoming Dates:

7th August: Venus moves into Cancer

8th August: Mercury goes direct

8th August: Lion’s stargate

That’s it for now. There’s so much happening, it’s difficult to simplify. The ‘bottom line’ is in the pictures and bold typeface, so you can ‘cut to the chase’.

Love and blessings
