The Sun at 0º Sagittarius together with Jupiter at 3º and
Mercury Retrograde at 11º, opposite the Moon 0º Gemini, both square Mars at 4º
in Pisces. This New Moon forms a T-Square, a combination of challenge and
tension energizing (if not galvanizing) the emotional mind and the creative
mind in the opposing fields of information, conversation, communication and
beliefs systems, the big picture and the higher understanding of the scheme of
things.
The trigger of this electrifying contest is a mellow Mars,
the ball of fire and determination, swimming softly in the ‘ocean’ of Pisces.
Here, our warrior planet is fighting a spiritual (foggy delusional? belief) cause,
so we may be taken for a competitive wrestle of ideas, diverse faith
principles, different cultural viewpoints, and multiple philosophies. The
rushing mind will be all over the place, but still Mars can keep us stubborn in
our own opinions and even angry about it.
Not a good combination to sit at the Thanksgiving Holiday
table with us, right?
As I always say, just be aware of the running energy, and
when you feel its rush, just recline your posture on your chair to better
listen and observe. We will certainly have the chance to learn a LOT of
information thanks to Jupiter magnifying Mercury in Sagittarius, and the Moon
shining in turn its light on Gemini, the sign that loves gathering data. Don’t forget the Sun is there with its big
ego (next to Jupiter) and its ‘know it all’ attitude!
Now, I’ll tell you the secret about how to survive and even
thrive during this important Full Moon. But before that, I need to remind you
that we will have several Lunations at 0º, some key Planets (Uranus, Chiron,
soon Venus) and the Nodal Axis in critical degrees making things happen. For a
couple of months at least, if not more, we’ve seen several interplanetary
aspects at 0º. This will continue for some time into the new year,
making 2019, the year of New Beginnings in many aspects of our life. If you are
a fixed sign, Taurus, Scorpio, Leo or Aquarius, set in your own ways, hating
changes and moves, you’ll be shaken hard, because important changes will be
unavoidable. The world as we know it is being swept from under our feet, and
for some time, we will not know where we stand, or even where’s the ground!
Now, the secret to survive the agitation and probable
animosity of this Full Moon is the fourth leg. The astrological T-square is
like a table standing on three legs, thus, if we find the fourth one we are
able to stabilize the situation. The fourth leg is found opposite of Mars in
Pisces, in Virgo. Look at your chart and find out if you have a planet around 4º Virgo and in what house it is; it will give you the clue about how to manage
your own personal circumstances. If there is no planet, consider the themes of
that house and focus on them. For example, if you have, let’s say, Venus there
in the 2d house, you may be focusing on your self-esteem in relationships or
the value of your own resources. If you have Pluto in Virgo in the 12th. Pluto
is power, and total transformation, like in metamorphosis. Virgo is healing,
service, organization, skills, humility, and fixing what is broken. 12th
house is the most private hidden aspect of personal life, our spiritual
endeavors, psychological evolution, dreams and the secrets we hide inside close
doors -sometimes the skeletons in the closet. Those are the themes that will
help you balance this Full Moon energy.
There is also an important aspect forming slowly in this
chart, Uranus opposite Venus, which I wrote about in a previous blog post.
Check it out here, because this influence can show you where you will feel an
important ‘life earthquake’. Additionally, your mind and ability to communicate can also be foggy, misleading and confusing or very much inspired, considering the square between Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius, the Sign of exploration and optimism, and Neptune in Pisces, the Sign of dissolution, spirituality and confusion. Since Mercury is Retrograde, this is happening three times in nine weeks. However, awareness, as I always say in my Kundalini Yoga teaching, is the key to succeed. When we know what is going on, we can do something about it. It may be hard to do during a Holiday, but taking the time to meditate, go within to see things as they are, is the best we can do for our peace of mind, to find the right attitude in face of events, and for making good decisions.
The house placement of the Planets playing in this Full Moon
will be different for each person, which will make for a completely unique
event for each of us. However, always consider that an astrological Chart works
as a whole, that other elements may modify, change or affect the energy in
sometimes contradictory ways.
Consulting an Astrologer is always advisable if you need to
make an important decision or you need guidance on how to face and deal with
certain troublesome family members at the holiday table, and even if you are that troublesome person 🐒. In those cases, feel
