23rd July 2013 Full Moon in Aquarius

 
 
 
Hi everyone!
 
What a time it’s been with so much emotional energy surging up within us and within the world.  Some of us have been affected more than others by this meltdown.
 
I’ve posted this picture of calm water with shades of pink and purple as a representation of the deep calm place within us which is waiting for us to accept our entitlement to love and fulfilment.
 
As we move through the cleansing purification of these times, we need to remind ourselves of this energy of deep peace which exudes from us when we’re in a place of acceptance of who we are and why we’re here. 
 
The upcoming energies are inviting us to accept ourselves and to access why we are here and what we have to share with the world.
 
So much happening.  I am attempting to condense it into an accessible form as I come to grips with it myself.
 
What’s been happening:
It may feel like we’ve been in the doldrums out on the ocean, no wind behind our sails, listlessly floating, whilst the waters of emotion churned below. 
 
Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.
Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.
From: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
We can put it down to the Grand Water Trine, 9 planetary bodies in water signs plus Mercury retrograde in a water sign.
 
The Grand Water Trine:    opening us up emotionally, learning to ‘go with the flow’ and accept and allow!  Nothing to do but surrender!
 
These are the major planetary players forming the Grand Water Trine:
Saturn in Scorpio
Neptune in Pisces
Jupiter in Cancer, joined by Mars from 20th to 23rd
 
 
Cleansing and purification of the emotions:     Suck it up, spit it out! 
‘Trigger’ point events/news have/has been happening in our everyday lives which have worked like a plumber’s plunger...sucking up all the blockages in our being and clearing our emotional energies.  
 
Old ‘stories’ are evolving and/or leaving:
Ancient and core memories have been surfacing as the planets in Cancer are flushing out those emotions which have been holding us to ransom, pulling us back into the reproduction of old patterns of behaviour and thinking.  Remember, Cancer rules family, ancestors and the divine mother energy.
 
 

 
 
Round and round we go until we’re sparkling clean:
Grand trines can give us the sense that everything is happening and nothing is happening as they spin us around in a whirlpool of energy. This Grand Water Trine energy is all emotion offering major cleansing of the cell memories individually and collectively as the slower moving outer planets which impact the collective consciousness interact with the faster moving ‘personal’ planets which impact our individual lives.
 
 

 
The collective ‘wave’ of emotion collides with the personal ‘wave’ of emotion:   
It’s like we as individuals are meeting the waves of the collective like two waves of water collide.  There is no boundary in the waters of emotion. 
 
We are joined with the collective forces of purification as we come face to face with our own ‘collective’ inheritance of conditioning and repetition of history. Our world consciousness is being awoken with the Uranus/Pluto square and now being washed in the oceans of this Grand Water Trine energy.
 
 
 
 
Dreams, dreams and more dreams:    
vivid and maybe a little surreal
Neptune is the dreamer and in Pisces is very much at home in that energy.  The doorways of the unconscious are opened and alive in this energy.
 
Over the last week I watched ‘Cloudstreet’, an adaptation of an Australian novel.  One of the characters nearly drowned as a child and now with brain damage is obsessed with water and just wants to go back to it, so the whole movie was inundated with the water images and the boy saying ‘the water, the water, the water’ over and over again. 
 
Now, if you haven’t got into this water energy, there’s plenty of movies out there to bring up some emotions...’Titanic’, ‘Jaws’...?   
 
 
 
 
 
18th July:    Uranus turned retrograde...surprise!  at least for the days surrounding this date.
At this time, the week before and after this date, there’s the possibility of unexpected events, surprises, insights, significant change of thinking.
 

Uranus retrograde until mid December 2013:   

Review, revisit, rediscover...insights, changes, surprises of the past few months.
The slower moving planets influence the broader picture of the world and trends of all kinds, social, economic, intellectual, artistic. 
 
For the personal charts, Uranus strongly influences us if we have planets being aspected by Uranus (that is, within 5 to 8 degrees of Uranus at 10 degrees)
 
Birthdays in last week of:
December/first week of January
March/first week of April
June/first week of July
September/first week of October
 
 
 
 
21st July:    Mercury turned direct at 4.22 am AEST 13 degrees Cancer.
Glitches start ironing out!  we’re moving again!
Communication becomes clearer, confusion and chaos clearing gradually as Mercury gets on the move again.  It’s a slow movement and we really won’t feel the full affect of Mercury back on track for about 13 days.   
 
We’re sailing under full sail, not full steam ahead just yet.  But at least we’re out of the doldrums.
 
 
Communication, decision making...all emotional: 
                                                 We’re on the move at last!
We’re still ploughing through the water energies of Cancer so communication will be coming through the heart energies of Cancer which seeks emotional security, feeling ‘safe’ in ourselves and trusting ourselves emotionally. So cautious, slow and steady rather than scaring ourselves to death.  We’re learning to trust ourselves and to come from a positive emotional place when making up our minds, making decisions. 
 
 
 
Are you squeaky clean?
As Mercury treks back over the territory of the past 3 weeks, we find out how we’ve been recreating ourselves:
 Remember, that whatever has been happening over these past weeks in relation to conversations, commerce, travel and social connections, will be re-visited in the coming few weeks until 4th August when Mercury gets back to 23 degrees Cancer, the original position prior turning retrograde. 
 

Ideas which bring me joy:    Ideas and possibilities which popped up during the last 3 weeks may be recovered as the way forward becomes clear.  Be open to reviewing those ideas, projects, solutions which seem more attractive than before, which offer a sense of emotional security and joy in your heart.  Be aware of your emotional response to what’s being presented.
 
 
 
 
21st July:    
Grand water trine expanded by Mars joining with Jupiter in Cancer.
It’s big, worldly, karmic, cleansing, purifying.
 
We’re all in the same boat and yet, at the same time, our masculine selves are in the waves, surrendering to the ocean of emotion whilst allowing all those trappings of social conditioning, all the ancestral and planetary memories to be washed free.  
 
 
How is our masculine energy handling the water:    
You can float, swim, surf, dive, ski, sail...whatever gets you through!
Our masculine warrior energy is being cleansed by the grace of the divine feminine energies of the water.  Our Mars energy has been here in Cancer for about a week, since 13th July. We are now learning to handle our masculine drive through the medium of water which is flowing, sensitive, artistic and in Cancer...home loving.  We are being forced to give our attention to the child within and the children of the world. 
 
 
Lost your drive, enthusiasm, passion, motivation:    Mars is fire and our driving force to get things done.  Understandably, Mars is not happy in Cancer as he is dampened, sodden and feeling washed out.  It’s frustrating, irritating, especially during this Mercury retrograde period of the past 3 weeks.

Anyone else been feeling absolutely exhausted lately???
 
 

When will it end you ask:    
some movement this week...

back on our boards!
      
There will be some alleviation from the relentless lethargy of water energies this week when the Sun moves on from Cancer into Leo, a fire sign. 


Also, now Mercury is travelling direct, we’ll feel some movement at least.  Then, on the 7th August, a New Moon in Leo followed by Mercury moving to Leo will all help. Mercury and Mars are our movers/shakers on the personal level.
 
Mars will be in Cancer until 28th August:
Our masculine energy is learning new ways of living and being and we won’t win by fighting with fire.  Our drive and enthusiasm has to work through the emotional energy of water which tends to be slow and gradual. We just need to be aware of when to float, swim, surf, dive. 
 
At the end of the month, Mars meets up in a challenging T square with the Uranus/Pluto square.  This will be a big emotional purge of all those unresolved masculine energies. 
 
 
 
What’s coming in:
 
Harmonic Convergence:    
It’s all about love and evolution of consciousness!
 
Yes, the star of consciousness in the personal and universal spheres is calling us to tune in, attune to the changes!
 
 
 
From Jonathan Cainer 20th July:
This week brings what some astrologers are calling a Harmonic Convergence. For a few days recently, we've had a rare Grand Trine taking place between Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. That, in itself, is auspicious. Now, as the trine culminates, Mars forms a conjunction to Jupiter, Venus forms a harmonious alignment to Saturn and there's a beautiful Full Moon.

It is as if the planets are sending a message. 'Dear People of Earth, do you have some special hopes and wishes? Please focus on your most noble aspirations and we'll do all we can to help them come to fulfilment!'
 
 
Links with further reading on the Harmonic Convergence of July:
 
 
From July 25th is known as the Day Out of Time, since it is a day that belongs neither to the last cycle or the next one.  It is a day of stillness, the birth place for Creation to renew Itself.  Certain days hold the ability to activate and amplify intentions; this is one such day where we can place our intentions of peace and love to initiate the new mayan year and beginning of the next 26,000 year cycle.
 
 
Facebook: page called ‘Harmonic Convergence’ – more on world meditations for this week.
 
 
 
 
22nd July:   

Venus moves into Virgo at 10.40 pm AEST...purifying, healing the heart and mind through love, beauty and the earth!
 






Getting in touch with your earthly mission:    
Virgo, where we enact our everyday lives of work...now turning into PLAY!
This is a great energy for grounding heart and passion into the earthly dimension...making joy a reality!  Make the most of this great energy for heart healing changes on the earthly dimension, with us until 16th August.
 
What is your mission on earth:    If you’re not happy in your work, utilise this energy to get in touch with what makes you happy in your working life.  Virgo always offers practical steps to get you where you need to go. Virgo calls us to our earthly ‘calling’.
 
When we’re fired by Venus, we feel uplifted and carried forward, providing we’re ready to listen to her. And in Virgo it’s about the reality of action plans.
 
Healing perfectionism :    Be who you are, accept yourself!  Stop the criticisms, comparisons, self-punishments, shame, blame...in their tracks! 
Venus is the heart, the feminine expression of ourselves seeking harmony, beauty and of course love.  Virgo is the sign of the healer and the purifier of our energies.  Unevolved Virgo energy within all of us can lead to nitpicking and criticism as Virgo asks us to purify and heal yet so often we find ourselves expressing this energy as perfectionism, never good enough! And we can put this onto ourselves effectively holding us back from expressing who we are for fear of criticism.
 
‘I am perfect in my imperfections’
 
Harnessing the positive mind power:    
Once you truly make up your mind, doubts, fears, insecurities fall away!  
Like Gemini, Virgo is ruled by Mercury (as well as Chiron ,the wounded healer) which is an energy of the mind and intellect. Getting in touch with the ‘heart’ of Virgo can best be accessed through Mother Earth and connecting that energy with the heart and mind.  For Mother Earth everything is perfect.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
23rd July:    Sun moves into Leo at 1.55 am AEST 

Happy, happy day! 
 
Let the sun shine and shine it does! 

‘Here comes the Sun”!!!
And Leo comes in as the open-hearted child calling us to SHINE!
 




Let’s play!:    The Sun is Leo’s ruler and brings in the energy of love, romance, creativity and children.  The Leo Sun brings in the heart of the child calling us to play, to live life as playful children filled with the joy and wonder of life through fulfilling our creative potential.


 

Saved by the Sun of Leo:    
Marching to the beat of our own drum!  
What perfect timing!  Just when we felt washed up and shipwrecked by the waters, along comes the fire of Leo waking us up to march to the beat of our own drum.  The Sun is about our identity and in Leo, it’s the open-hearted child-like part of ourselves that is being awakened. 
 
If ever there was a perfect time for Leo energy...it’s now!   
 
 
 
 
 
Courage, strength and confidence:   

Call on your inner lion of leadership who has the courage to be ‘you’!

‘If I only had the nerve’ sang the lion in the Wizard of Oz.   And when he reached Oz, he discovered he had the courage all along!


Such a powerful message for us all.  Courage along with confidence is one of Leo’s life lessons.  It’s a challenging energy to shine with confidence which comes from within without tipping into overblown ego...one of the challenges of this time. 
 
And as we all probably know, when we meet people challenged by the shining, they can hit out at us. 
Many years ago, a significant ‘other’ in my life accusingly said ‘You’re so full of yourself!’ 
From somewhere came my response ‘If you were more full of yourself, we wouldn’t have a problem.’ 

I hope you get my drift from the telling of this story. We walk a fine balance and sometimes we allow ourselves to be pushed down by others, when really we need to back ourselves.
 
 
For the next month, Leo shines on us:    

Indulge in this creative power!

This is a perfect time to call on your inner strength and courage to be you...no holds barred!  No excuses for being you! 

The upcoming energies of the Lion Stargate starting 26th July through to 12th August will be supporting us in accessing this lion energy and inspiring us to take leadership of our own lives!
 
This will be a good counterbalance to the Cancerian cautious energy which would have us sitting in our little shells, too insecure to venture forth. 
 
 
I have confidence
from ‘Sound of Music’
I have confidence in sunshine
I have confidence in rain
I have confidence that spring will come again
Besides which you see I have confidence in me
 
 
 
 
 
 
23rd July:    
Full Moon in Aquarius 4.15 am AEST at  0 degrees 06
...our third ‘Supermoon’ in a row!
 
Reach for the stars:    

Hearing the call of destiny to your own personal way of being in the world 
  
Aquarius is about reaching for the stars, your own personal star which sits amongst the other stars and planetary bodies within the whole spectrum of the universe, seemingly ‘hanging together’ like a huge cosmic family.
 






Freedom calls:    
Getting out of the jail of conditioning!   
Leaping off the treadmill! 
The first of two Full Moons in Aquarius this year.  There’s another one in a month’s time.  The focus is on Aquarian energies over the next two full moons.  And Aquarius is the ultimate energy of freedom from the restrictive ties of conditioning. 
 
Innovative ideas and new possibilities:
Ruled by Uranus, innovative ideas, alternative solutions are likely to drop into our minds and hearts at this Full Moon as the Full Moon engages with its opposite number, the Leo Sun who is all about shining as individuals.
 
Detachment emotionally:    Aquarius is a mental sign who has the capacity to detach emotionally, a quality which is likely to work in our favour at this Full Moon, a time when emotions are big and demanding.    
 
 
Leo Sun opposite Aquarian Moon:  Where in the world do I belong?   
The personal experience of love balancing the universal experience of loving humanity!  The energy of this Full Moon is asking us to balance the personal and the transpersonal, of finding where we fit in the bigger scheme of humanity’s family.  It’s about discovering how to fulfil our personal joy through being an active member of the world family, contributing to the upliftment and betterment of the world.

 
 
 

When you wish upon a star:     Make a wish!  
Aquarius is about the bigger picture of humanity and community about friends and hopes and dreams.
This is the time to put out your wishes to the universe and ask for fulfilment of those wishes, at least some of them! 
 
 


 
 
 
Breaking point!:    
Ready to break out, breakthrough and break the rules!   

A crossroads and the new road beckons!

Saturn in Scorpio will be squaring/challenging the Full Moon and Sun
 
‘I’ve gotta be me!’:   
Leo creative power and drive expression with  Aquarian innovation transforming our authority to be real.  We’re ready to break Saturn’s rules!

A driving force within us is likely to well up, giving the emotional power and the mental clarity to know what we need, where we need to be, what we want to do even if we haven’t got the details in order...all in good time. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Jailbreak:    

The rebel in us comes alive as it accesses the Leo desire to be fully ourselves and enjoy life!  

Rules do not fit this scenario.  
When we experience Aquarian rebellion opposed to the Leo fire to express individuality squaring off to sober old Saturn/status quo in Scorpio, then we know there’s likely to be a jailbreak.
 





Tipping point:    The riot has been brewing for some time as old Saturn/status quo is getting a huge long term makeover in Scorpio sign of life, death, rebirth and transformation.  Frustrating and irritating ‘blocks’ in your life are likely to come to the fore in order to be resolved.  It’s likely to come to a head in a somewhat detached manner, even if the emotions are powering the breakthrough.  Detachment emotionally is an Aquarian specialty.  This is despite all the Grand Water Trine which is all emotional.
 
Fortunate energies:    The Full Moon is in Aquarius so all that emotional energy is charging up our radical rebellious selves which have been kept under wraps for so long. Just keep trusting that all is well.  You may have expectations about what all this means to you, but it may turn out quite differently.  With Aquarius involved and the Uranus/Pluto square still operational, anything could happen.  But the energies are auspicious...so trust this!
 
 
Sabian Symbols for the Full Moon in Aquarius:
I am referring you to Linda Hill’s site for an extensive coverage of the symbols for this time:
 
 
 
 
26th July to 12th August:    The Lion’s Gate


The following quotes are just to give you some idea of these energies coming in. 
I will include more with the next update on the New Moon in Leo on 8th August.

From Celia Fenn:   

 ‘The Incoming Wave of Light and the Lion’s Gate 2013’  

 
Quotes from ‘The Incoming Wave of Light and the Lion’s Gate 2013’:
 
The Lion’s Gate 2013
Many have asked us, what is the Lion’s Gate and why is it named for the Lion? Well, it refers in part to the fact that the Sun enters into the sign of LEO at this time, and these energies are integrated into the Earth under the energy of the Lion, the Feline Energies of Sirius which are fierce and proud and very “royal”. The “Gate” or “Stargate” is a period of approximatley two weeks in which a vortex opens and a wave of intense Light from the Galactic Center is received on the Earth. This “wave” contains the new Light Codes for the Evolution of the Earth for the next year/cycle, and so it is known as the Planetary New Year.
The Wave of Light 26 July to 12 August
Beloved Family of Light, this incoming Wave of Light will effectively “Recalibrate” the Planetary Frequencies for Higher Levels of Consciousness. This means, of course, that the old third-dimensional “illusion” will continue to crumble and break down. To those who still hold to the Third Dimensional Consciousness, it will seem as if chaos is breaking out everywhere, and they will become paranoid and angry and despairing. To those who can see and feel with the Higher Consciousness, it will seem as if a new dawn is breaking and that a new way of life is rising, as of course, it is.
What can expect at this time? We think that the Key word will be “intensity”. Everything will seem very intense to the point of being surreal. In your personal lives, whatever is still remaining of your old third-dimensional consciousness will need to be removed and replaced by something at a higher vibration. This may be difficult if you have an emotional attachment to the old energies. However, if you simply release and allow the changes, then they can be achieved with the minimum of disruption and hardship. The idea is simply to TRUST the PROCESS and allow whatever needs to happen.
 
From Archangel Gabriel:    The Lion’s Gateway Initiation – July 26 through August 12 – Channeled through Shanta Gabriel
And so it is now as you approach the Lion’s Gateway from July 26 through August 12 – a two-week portal with extreme waves of Light that will activate the coding within your DNA to the next level. This will assist your integration of the 5D imprint that is a part of your Soul’s Destiny, if you are the one reading this work.

New posting from Lauren Gorgo:  



 ‘LOVE hubs creating our heaven’     http://thinkwithyourheart.com/7036/love-hubs-our-personal-heavens/
 



The quote below was posted by Stephanie Azaria and came from the full version of Lauren’s message:
There is a moment or two of stillness left before you, take not this time for granted. The inward expansion that you have undergone since the eclipse cycle is beginning to bleed into your physical world. There may be periods of overwhelm as these energies unlock the gears for forward movement, be not afraid. Allow the chaos of the new to swirl about your personal lives, the upheaval will serve to catapult you to new heights. The coming tide is prepared to take you to new shores. For the moment, your anchors are dropped as you patiently await the waters calm. When the storms subside, the tide will beckon. Be fluid. Allow the new waters to carry you o’er the waves to your destiny. -PHC
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Upcoming Dates:
7th August:    New Moon in Leo
8th August:    Mercury moves into Leo 
 
That’s it folks!
 
We’re in big energies as you can see.  We’re already in the change process which is rolling on with a domino effect.  

I’ve limited my focus to the major planetary influences rather than extend into the Harmonic Convergence or the Lion’s Gate energy.  

There are many writers who have written extensively about these energies and are extremely knowledgeable.  I offer a couple of links to this information.  But of course, a Google search will uncover even more. 
 
 
 
 
 
Wishing you all a wonderful week. 
 
As always, love and blessings to you all, ‘my family’ and trust that we all have exciting times ahead.
