This Full Moon highlights our sense of emotional security and all that it entails.  Moon in Cancer the sign of its dignity brings to light domestic issues, habitual patterns, instinctive responses, family, mother, home, real estate, collections and re-collections, shelter, homeland, safety and protection, and emphasises the need to care for what we feel our own. There is a Cardinal Grand Square planetary configuration in the skies, which promotes action and change, taking initiative, and the need to deal with issues or crises head on. Continue reading →

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. Communication is even more critical at this culminating phase, as the Moon in Gemini reflects the light of the Sun in Sagittarius. Our capacity to ask the right questions will make all the difference in the answers and truths we seek or give into.

The role of the media is even more highlighted at this lunation, as well as all issues of travel, documents, education, learning,  transportation, immigration, and agreements of all sorts. Experience and the past comes in as an additional component to gear our activities or inner dialogue towards a reviewing of reality or structures that need to be re-examined or re-negotiated. This feels like a ‘judgement’ and “commitment” period bridging two lunar cycles, those of Sagittarius and Capricorn, which particularly have to do with how ideology, knowledge, and experience develops into structure and established reality. On a collective level ideologies, belief systems form structured regimes, that we may call governments or other formal institutions that exercise control. 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 →
