This Super Full Moon highlights our cognitive capacity. As information disseminates faster and faster the current energy climate highlights the tension between processing data and developing awareness, or simply making sense of things. Truth is a critical factor on a collective level, and this particular cycle exposes us to the need for truth and meaning even more so. The cycle began in the sign of Sagittarius, a sign that likes to explore and seek truth pushing boundaries.

On a personal level experience, knowledge, beliefs and faith become the vehicle for building structures in our public sphere of life, such as reputation, career, and achievements that reflect our societal goals and roles.  Mercury turns Rx on December 19th, and as God Hermes was known as the only Olympian to have free-access between two worlds a more internalised dialogue can occur between the higher and the lower mind, or between the level of our mundane reality and that of what lies beneath on the realm of our psyche. So, how we mentally tune into our reality, and all that it entails such as constraints, commitments, restrictions, goals, that affect our psychological condition is what matters the most.  The way we think about things largely affects our appreciation of reality and ultimately the goals we set out and work towards realising.  Continue reading →
