Aquarius Full Moon Wednesday

Image
Before you start I will warn you this is a bit long. I have not had a chance to post for two weeks so am making up for it LOL! There is a Full Moon in Aquarius this Wednesday. Peace and love and brotherhood/sisterhood prevail! Just before that, the Moon, now  in serious and stoic Capricorn, crosses in front of Pluto,  activating the tension of the current squares (difficult aspects)  between Pluto Uranus and Mars. Mars, planet of war,  is also still in the mix, acting like a spark to gasoline, so here's a renewed warning to go slow, pay attention,  and be careful of trigger reactions.  Mars is pulling further and further from this powerful combo so  the sparks will die down a bit by next week. Meanwhile, the Moon is currently  eclipsing Pluto (called an occultation)  bringing hidden emotions to the forefront. Control/power issues abound!! This is a good time to examine our underlying motivations as we trip over old grudges or bits of hidden resistance bubbling to the su

Warning: De-Construction ahead.

Mars, warrior  planet of action, aggression and desire,  is at the beginning of Libra, and now moving full steam ahead after a long time of retrograde motion in Virgo.  It is getting closer and closer to an exact opposition to Pluto the Destroyer.... which in turn is in square( tense) aspect to Uranus, the Awakener. Warning!! This combination is highly combustible and potentially violent. It can produce accidents, extreme tensions and massive flare ups. On top of this Mercury, which rules the mind,  is now moving backward (or so it appears to us on earth) which reverses its energy, causing communication breakdowns and bringing  a bit of chaos to the both the electronic and Internet world. This doesn't mean every email will get lost, but it is more likely at this time. On the other hand, the beautiful and benific Jupiter /Venus conjunction we have been enjoying is momentarily  reactivated by the Moon in Gemini. This lovely expansive and highly social energy will create good

The Mars Pluto Uranus square continues to create friction and tension which can result in accident, standoffs and outright violence. Be careful with how you react to others and find positive and productive ways to let off steam. Mars trine to Juliter and Venus bodes well for the expresison of affection and desire. We are not shy in Gemini and the link to Mars encourages us to go for what we want. Venus and Jupiter got  snuggled up real close just a few days ago and we are still basking in the warm glow. This has done much to ease us through this tumultuous time. Venus is the planet of love and connection while  Jupiter of luck, expansion and joy. In Gemini they open us up to people  and encrouage us to talk..and talk...and talk. It a social and easy going vibe in the midst of a somewhat angst filled sky. Saturn has been squaring the Sun which gives us a tendency to be a bit hardon oursleves, though it can also add dicipline and focus...useful at a time when so much frivolity and  Ge

Full Moon In Capricorn Claim your Power

Today, Tuesday June 3rd, 2012,  the Moon is Full in Capricorn. This brings the energy of the June 16th New Moon to a peak. I wrote then  about the need to release old patterns of thought and let go of our old worn out stories to make way for a new vision and a new era     ( http://www.aurumastrology.blogspot.ca/2012/06/new-moon-in-gemini-again.html  )  The  Sun and Moon represent opposite polarities of Masculine and Feminine archetypes.   Capricorn and Cancer are also key opposites, representing the Father and Mother principle.They both demand we act in grown up ways and take responsibity for both ourselves and others in a healthy way. Understanding where the line gets drawn in this regard is part of the lesson of this Full Moon. The feminine intuitive Moon, representing our soul-full, intuitive self, is in the masculine arena of Capricorn, representing   duty, authority,  and the drive for success (ambition). Capricorn is  the sign representing the archetypal Father figure.
