When the Sun sets and the Moon rises, life becomes more ‘interesting’.

The last Super Moon of this Year is in the sign of Aries, just a few days after the Fall Equinox. A trigger for the upcoming Solar Eclipse in October 14th, and starts manifesting and accelarating changes we have set in motion since the Spring Solar Eclipse on April 20th. These changes will begin to stabilise and get into some form in the first couple of months of 2024. The spirit of creation and passion is seeking and activating new ground in the prime areas of our lives, mainly relationships, levels of sharing, contracts, and our need to reconcile situations, find remedial solutions or promote some creative plan, that will assist in unlocking a different way of living or connecting with the world. The me vs us factor comes into play. It is a Full Moon that seeks to balance a new way of responding to situations, relating to ourselves and others, and with a dynamic focus in the hearth, the ‘home’, our base, past, history or homeland. Everything we feel, that keeps our sacred fire alive in our soul. Settling differences, signing a contract, an agreement, relocating, moving in together, getting into a contest, having an argument, entering into partnership, seeking counseling, fighting for justice or presenting our work to others may seem like completely different things, but they do examine several levels of engagement and willingness to share, as well as responding to others. If we seek to tread on a new path with others, share more of ourselves with them, we need to make sure this comes from deep in our soul, and aligns with our inner truth. Our inner emotional stability and focus will determine the level of creativity and healthy expression in our exchange and interaction with others. Entering some ‘territory’ requires a kind of releasing, letting go of the past, giving our energy selflessly, or bringing closure to a previous chapter of life. Adjustments, formalities, or a kind of clearance and examining process of what we need to keep and what we need to discard. Becoming engaged with helping, being of service, and applying skills can be uplifting. We can do good for others, share more, while we also care for our own well being. Additional research or further inquiry maybe required, for plans to be completed, or major decisions to move forward. Complications as well as external pressure or competition, can hinder or delay matters, plans or goals. This may be necessary. Financial aspects as well as details and facts need attention. Matters may require more effort than we anticipate. This is a rather unsettling time for humanity, and we all need to invest our energy and use our power carefully, and mindfully with respect, love and sensitivity. Connecting with people we are spiritually aligned with, can work wonders for our creativity and confidence. Some latent creative talent, vision or creative opportunity may be waiting to be expressed or gradually emerge, although it might be something we do on the side, require patience or take longer to take off.

The path finder. Searching for the ‘missing piece’ – we realise there is something else we need to be doing.

What is the gesture and response that ensures that the seed of creation of life can continue to grow? What moves us, and how do we protect the essentials? There is this moment or strange synchronicity that will intuitively connect us with a ‘missing piece’, and liberate creative potentials, that will promote a new perspective, mission or direction.

How do we respond to the manifest world and it’s demands? Re-examining our sense of authority and life choices. Making a difference. A heightened intuition on how to make a positive gesture through a negative situation. We may all be exposed to some kind brokenness or sensitive situation in our immediate environment, in our engagement with social issues, our public or social life or through the current  world affairs in one way or another. We start to recognise patterns, habits and become more conscious of the need to repair this or gain wisdom that can assist or unblock others and ourselves. Instinctual forces that carry wisdom and relate to problem solving are at play.

Cardinal Water is needed, to grow and nurture life. It is concerned with issues around care, nurturing, security and protection, ensuring the continuation of life, in connection to home, food, family, domestic, shelter, to the roots of all plants and growing vegetation, and the living beings of the earth, our sense of belonging and emotional connectedness and sharing, our sense of collective cohesion, the origins of all things, the past. This Moon fully illuminates our needs for the above things (what may be lacking). It is completely liberated, uninhibited, innovative, wild, experimental, free of conditioning and it is also wise and successful in navigating unfamiliar paths and places, as long as we don’t exercise too much control. We need to be open to potentialities. We are in the process of birthing or nurturing ideas, reflecting on ways to repair situations, information, or deal with what is lacking. In search of the missing piece, we may intuit on a new way to navigate a certain territory, a new direction, that may liberate, innovate or break new ground in expressing ideas, skills or talents, while it is preparing us to work with consistency on long term goals.

Key Themes:

Change of habits, emotional and social patterns. Awakenings, unrest, reform, experimentation, revelations, awareness of our limitations, stability tests, our power to resist, capacity to be consistent, need to set the right boundaries, show respect, issues around attachment and detachment. Dealing with pressures, setbacks or delays force us to review our goals and energy investment. Reinforcing a structure we can sustain, or a structure that others can follow. Improving our skills and talents, problem solving capacity, finding our own voice. Practice ways to quiet the mind, preserve energy and exercise discipline and self control are important and are going to promote new beginnings or intentions from January 15th, 2023 onwards. Themes of the past may re-surface.
