from the chair: 27th January 2013 Full Moon in Leo

Hello everyone!

You want to play???? Get ready, we’re coming through the intensity of the past few weeks! The Leo Full Moon is calling us to play!

Remember that??? It’s called ‘having FUN’! We’re being called to rest, relax and feel the experience of life through expanded perceptions!

What’s been happening: Moles crawling out of holes!

Emerging from the heaviness of Capricorn energies into Aquarian time through a Leo Full Moon!

Need to rest and regenerate: We’re acclimating to new energies after release from the inundation from Capricorn energies, emerging from underground like Persephone returning to the world after her release from the underworld! Yes, we still have Venus in Capricorn until next week and Pluto is in Capricorn for the long haul.

Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, depicted in the Tarot as the major card ‘The World’/The earth holds us to the earth, grounds us in the energies of the earth. We need the earth energy to keep us on the ground in the earth reality. But at the same time it keeps us interacting with everything on and in the earth, feeling everyone and everything else - emotions, thoughts, instincts, reactions, responses, memories. There are no boundaries!

Hearts connecting with other earthlings: Venus is still trekking through Capricorn, releasing the bonds and shackles, the attachments and ‘addictions’ of our earthly existence. How can we reach for the stars when we are unable to lift off because of our emotional, psychological and spiritual baggage which is coded into our cells and tissues!

Physical, Mental, Emotional changes: body, mind and heart re-configuring, realigning and integrating all the light charges!

Without doubt, these air energies have been stirring up and liberating the unconscious memories and ‘dark’ energies which have been locked into our bodies, minds, cell memories as well as flushing out long held energies/memories locked into the earth.

All the planets are working together in what’s felt like an onslaught of energies on body, mind and emotions.

Mentally/the head and the physical impact of these mentally focussed energies:

Mercury’s been impacting on our mental processes, nerves, nervous system, brain, respiratory system, the five senses. Mars impacting on the head.

Just a few possible manifestations:

You may have felt fuzzy-headed, headaches, sinus, like a hangover feeling, buzzing, vibrating in the head/mind/ears.

The third eye (forehead) /pineal gland being opened up energised, releasing, reforming...you name it!

Eyes could have felt covered in a film like energy so you can’t focus.

Ears/hearing could be getting a work-over. Noise, vibration, increase in hearing the ‘sounds’ of the other dimensions, changed hearing physically.

Greater sensitivity to energies of all kinds especially electrical sources/media/music. This may feel like irritation.

It’s felt like a rewiring of our ‘electrical’ systems and circuits – Uranus rules electricity and is a big player in these changes.

Dreams/dreaming: Increase in dreams/dreaming continues to come in waves, often related to the moon’s energies and of course the impact on your personal planets. Remember nightmares are a release of subconscious fears...not necessarily your own. We are working with planetary energies.

Sleep patterns disrupted is still big on the list. Not able to sleep, not able to get enough sleep, feeling tired when you wake.

Hot surges – still happening, but it seems not as much, feels like they’re dissipating. Then again...who knows, with everything happening in waves.

Liberation from earthy heaviness through Aquarian lift off: some electrical like air energy shifting the cell tissues

The Sun, Mercury and Mars are all now flying along in Aquarius, bringing an uplift in mind, body and spirit. Aquarius is the energy of freedom of the cosmos, of space to breathe. Venus will be joining them on the 2nd February, so hearts lightening up too.

What’s coming in: More light relief! Whew!!!

Lighten up and be a little mischievous!

Leo Full Moon and personal planets Mars, Venus and Mercury, changing signs from 2nd February give a big shift forward!

27th: This Full Moon is going to really set us up with a powerful fullness of joy ready for the transformational energies coming in over the next two weeks leading into the powerful energies ushering in the New Moon in Aquarius on 10th February!

The Aquarian energies are calling us to get in touch with our unique identity and unique ways of thinking about our world and our place in the world.

2nd February: Venus will be joining the Sun, Mercury and Mars in Aquarius so we’ll have the beginnings of an Aquarian gathering.

10th February: New Moon in Aquarius

10th February: The New Moon in Aquarius marks the beginning of the Chinese New Year, Year of the Water Snake. Venus will be in Aquarius by then and we’ll be off!

27th January: Full Moon in Leo at 3.38 pm AEDT at 7 degrees 24 Leo...passion and joy open the heart!

Children, love, romance and creativity are the areas ruled by Leo.

Leo is a fire sign ruled by the Sun and brings with it the energy of passion, igniting the heart with love and the joy of the Sun, its ruler. The Sun is about who we are in the physical world, our true self, our identity. This Full Moon embrace the real you...’out and proud’ in the best sense of the word ‘proud’!

The moon is all emotion, especially at the full moon, so expect your heart to be opened by joyous experiences of love in all its forms. In Leo, the Moon shines her face on the world, exuding the joy that comes from within. The Moon rules memory and the subconscious, so expect dreams...and trust that they’ll be sweet ones!

I love who I am and am ready to love another: Leo energy ignites the joy and passion of individual desire. This Full Moon open your heart to love and celebration of your original self – the Sun, ruler of Leo, is all about our identity and being who we are in the world.

Open the door to romance, to your heart: Many meanings to ‘romance’ from the short-time idealised love affair, to the passionate experience in nature, on a mountaintop, in the ocean, by a lake. There’s an air of fascination and mysterious power within the understanding of ‘romance’. There’s a fairytale feeling within ‘romance’.

Anyone who’s been ‘in love’, that passionate romantic connection, knows that feeling of excitement, fascination and huge energy which feels that anything is surmountable through the power of love. Nothing else matters.

That’s the call of romance! We can ask ourselves how can we live passionately with that sense of deep fascination, holding to an ideal of love in whatever form, whether with a significant other or with the universe, with a creative project, in our working lives, to our families, children. How can we feel the joy of the mystery of life and live it every day.

This, I feel, is what we all seek as humans in our earthly bodies , experiencing the world in all its comedies and tragedies, successes and losses and holding to the wonderment.

The Sun, ruler of Leo, is in the opposite sign of Aquarius: When I am/find myself, I am/find the world!

This full Moon we are bring invited to access our personal passions within the bigger picture. Find your divine child who is complete and you find who you are. If you’re not excited about how you’re living, find what excites you. It’s time!

‘When I am fulfilling my deepest desires and expressing my unique, passionate, creative self in my life, I am aligned with the highest expression of myself in the wider society.’

This affirmation for the Full Moon reinforces the evolution of our spirit into the expansiveness of the bigger picture and takes us into the energy of living a successful, fulfilling and abundant life, because we living aligned with WHO WE ARE, not some conditioned pretence of a human being.

Mercury’s within reach of the Sun both in Aquarius: messages from the cosmos, from the stars!

Mercury rules communication, the mind, commerce, travel and in Aquarius, it’s calling us to open our airwaves to the cosmos and to our own particular brand of individuality.

If you’re having communication with a child, with your creative self, in relation to a commercial creative venture, and/or in a romantic encounter (quite likely at the Leo Full Moon), remember to be YOU! No second guessing here.

Challenge at Full Moon: Saturn is challenging us to let go of the karmic burdens and to accept responsibility for our personal happiness.

Saturn in Scorpio is squaring/challenging the Full Moon and the Sun in what we call a T-square...just let go of ‘the baggage’!

Squares are a great opportunity to shift something that’s been resistant to change and with Saturn, the full moon and the Sun all in what we call ‘fixed signs’, this aspect could be jarring to the ego and the emotions as Saturn in Scorpio forces a letting go/transformation/transmutation of karmic burdens as well as forcing us to face up to fulfilling our responsibilities to ourselves as well as to humanity!

What’s coming to completion, coming to a head at this Full Moon?

Hearts aligning with planetary destiny: Listen to Mercury’s messages and Venus will tune us into the big picture!

Venus, ruler of the heart, will be talking positively with the collective North Node of the Moon in Scorpio, so expect hearts to be aligned with the collective destiny and evolution. This is a wonderful support for enlivening the Full Moon energy which will be lighting up consciousness of our own personal passions!

This energy will help us fulfil the demands of the T-square (see above), fulfilling our responsibility to our own happiness as well as our responsibility to the expression of our unique capabilities in society.

On passion:

Quote from Lauren Gorgo: "In 2013 many of you will come to know, to accept, that your contribution to the world is nothing more or less than what sets you on fire. This essence is the reflective radiance of the new sun's creative potential within each of you...that which resides at the core, at the soular center of your embodied power to create, and for all to benefit from."
-Pleiadian High Council

Surprises on the menu..all good: The Full Moon is in supportive conversation with Uranus in Aries.

Expect surprises and insights to ignite the emotions and elicit a passionate response!!! Be aware of that romance and ignition of the heart!

Big, bigger emotions...expect to feel passion in your mind!: The Full Moon and Jupiter in Gemini in mutually supportive partnership.

This is heart and mind coming together, accessing your emotional self through the mind...expansion of thinking through experiencing the passionate, original YOU!

Sabian Symbols for the Full Moon and Sun – from Cathy Pagano:

http://www.wisdom-of-astrology.com/astrostarsarticles/the-cosmic-story-leo-full-moon-2013

The Sabian symbol for the Sun at 8* Aquarius is: Beautifully gowned wax figures on display. This image refers to archetypal figures or exemplars which can inspire us in our quest to create the future. Since the image contains both beauty and gowns, I’d like to vote for these images being feminine. If so, it’s time for us to value the feminine vision of life, which is soulful and loving. In any case, this image implies “new collective developments”. (Rudhyar: An Astrological Mandala)

The Sabian symbol for the Moon at 8* Leo is: A communist activist spreading his revolutionary ideals. Our Leo Moon picks up on the archetypal patterns expressed by the Aquarian Sun and advocates new ideas and purpose. When the old order refuses to die gracefully, it constellates radical ideas. What really happens is that when the old order (patriarchy) dies, there will be a breaking up of the old into a chaotic mix before the new vision can emerge. We need the chaos so that we don’t just bring back the old in new clothes.

Golden Oldie for the Leo Full Moon:‘Are you having any fun’ Flanagan and Allan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB_RFcpRXoE

30th January: Jupiter moves direct in Gemini at 10.37 pm AEDT at 6 degrees 20 Gemini...this is going to get things moving!

This gives us a big shift coming as it does, hot on the heels of the Leo Full Moon, expanding our communication channels and mental parameters. Remember, Jupiter is in Gemini which is an air sign, a mentally focussed mind with a predisposition to thinking, communicating, networking, interacting, travelling, bringing widely divergent ideas together.

These activities are likely to come to life again...people to see, places to go, ‘data’ to gather and ideas to share!

Creative and commercial ventures are going to get a real boost from this energy, coming as it does just a couple of days after the creative Leo Full Moon.

I imagine that problems that have resisted solution are likely to show new ways of solving them. Aquarian/Uranus energy is really helping here too.

This is a short read and worth reinforcing the knowledge of where we are and what’s happening energetically.

Quote from above channel:

‘So again, we repeat the same mantra of stop trying to DO so much, thinking or otherwise, and just BE. And know that all is well and you are just in a sort of short recreational period in order for your system to be better able to integrate this enormous amount of energy and information you have acquired these last few weeks.’

Upcoming Dates:

2nd February: Venus moves into Aquarius until 26th February

2nd February: Mars moves into Pisces until 22nd March

6th February: Mercury moves into Pisces until 14th April

10th February: New Moon in Aquarius– will be posted after Venus/Mars/Mercury one above.

There’s so much astrological activity happening in the next few weeks with planetary movement etc., I’ve broken up the next few emails into smaller ‘bite size’ pieces. Don’t want to get astrological indigestion, do we!

That’s it folks, for now.

Sorry I’ve been a little on the late side getting the last few updates out to you. My brain has been really scrambled with these light downloads and getting the clarity has been somewhat challenging! But then, so many of you know what I’m talking about!
