Full Moon in Taurus - October 31, 2020

When the Wound Becomes the Healing

And Venus did it again!
Love is pouring over Humanity once more. Venus was the ruler of the New Moon in Libra, and she is the ruler of this Full Moon as well. This makes love the star of the month, if you understand tough love, of course. 

Venus and Anchises (1889 or 1890) by William Blake Richmond

The Moon is at 8º of Taurus and the Sun at 8º Scorpio. Full Moons put us in front of a mirror. There could be another person, an event, situation, or the general circumstances, but whatever the case, it reflects an aspect of ourselves. Keeping that in mind, by watching ourselves in the looking glass, we are made aware of something important by the reflected Sunlight on the Moon face.

This particular Full Moon taps its power in the December 25th, 2019 Solar Eclipse, in a waxing trine. I invite you to visit my blog post, which, unsuspectingly, I then titled “Turn the last page of your old life”. That eclipse was at 4º of Capricorn, conjunct Jupiter, square to Chiron and trine Uranus! Little did we know at that time, the significance and scope of what that energy would bring to the world. As it did bring profound changes to the structures of our reality (Capricorn), spread widely throughout the world (Jupiter), wounding the very core of our human identity and capacity for survival (Chiron in Aries), with a surprising strike (Uranus). Venus was in Aquarius foreshadowing the social separation and the alternative virtual connection that we are now experiencing.

The current Full Moon conjunct Uranus makes a loud call. Uranus’ lightning bolt shines a striking light and surprise us with a realization. That Eureka moment most likely will show us a reality that, either we didn’t know, or we ignored. Because the 8th degree of Taurus belongs to the Taurus decanate and Virgo Dwadashamsha (subdivisions of the Sign)0, this revelation is certainly related to the healing and purification of the Earth body, of our body, but also the radical transformation of our values. The Virgo sub ‘flavor’ of it, adds a factor of discernment, for the ability to separate what is useful from what should be discarded (the wheat from the chaff). 

Uranus, Greek God of the Heavens

Uranus in Taurus correlates to breaks in the ecological food chain, breaks in the food distribution system, disruptions and transformations in the economic system, and the availability of resources, unexpected or abnormal financial developments. Uranus in Taurus is an earth shaker, then natural catastrophes are not discarded, even earthquakes. However, with Uranus, no one can predict, because no matter what you expect, something entirely different may happen. The main symbolisms to remember are that Uranus is electricity and sudden shocks, and Taurus is the material aspects of life.

The Moon is applying to a quintile (71º angle) with out-of-bounds Ceres. Ceres at the critical 29th degree of Aquarius opposes Haumea and sextiles Black Moon Lilith in Taurus. Ceres in Aquarius represents the yin (feminine) attributes of nurturance in the community context. Being out-of-bounds, makes Ceres manifestation extreme. People are creating innovative ways to assist the victims of natural or man made catastrophes. We will probably see a surge in the nurturing urgency for communities in dire need for survival, like people coming in aid to extended family members, the creation of childcare coops, mothers’ support groups, people asking and receiving aid from friends, and humanitarian charity groups.1

All that not without a pressing reason. On the one hand this Full Moon is also the culmination of the cycle started with the New Moon in Taurus in April this year. I invite you to recall what was that cycle about by watching my video titled "Are We Eating Tomorrow". On the other, Ceres opposite Vesta makes us aware of the needs of others, and invites us to learn to balance our needs with the moral responsibility we have towards nurturing others.2

In addition, Ceres trines Haumea, the TNP associated with the regeneration and fertility of Nature and the Earth. Mercury by Haumea’s side is sending her critical message, stating that Nature is in Labor and she needs support and care, safety, peace and gentleness so she is able to keep giving freely of her ‘fruit’. Another messenger is Black Moon Lilith in Taurus, asking ‘do we have enough to feel safe? Is there enough food to survive? She unveils the shadows of security in our fear of scarcity.3 There is urgency on this call, we should listen, understand and care. 

Haumea, Goddess of Fecundity

The Sun, beaming his Kingly light from the sign of the shadows and the underworld, reigns over the Moon and Uranus. We are certain to be shown significant ‘decayed’ material extra clearly. The Sun in the 8th degree of Scorpio is in the Pisces Dwadashamsha, and the Scorpio decanate. These added sub influences to the original meaning, talk about a global or widespread regeneration of sorts. Scorpio is the sign of death and rebirth, so the Sun points to something dying to be reborn, something destroyed to be rebuilt, or decomposed to give birth to something new. Considering that both, the traditional and modern Scorpio rulers, Mars and Pluto are still square, reveals an enormous destructive tension between the signs of Aries and Capricorn, radiating indirectly to Libra and Cancer. With the accumulation of planets in those signs, there is an increase of the potential for change (Cardinal energy).

Let’s come back to Venus, ruler of both, the New and Full Moons. Although she has now regained dignity now traveling her own home sign of Libra, she quincunx this Full Moon. This means that her longing for harmony and peaceful social activity and relationships is at odds with the situation or events the Full Moon causes. Moreover, Venus opposes Chiron and squares that December 25, 2019 Solar Eclipse, reactivating the reason to ‘turn the last page of your old life’.

Venus and Chiron mirroring each other challenge us to love and embrace the wound as the instrument of the healing process. Chiron reminds us the we are all now wounded healers, and that the healing method is the wound. Instead of rejecting and projecting the wound onto others, we are to recognize that loving and accepting those who or that what have wounded us, paves the way to our own healing and renewal. This way, covid19 is our wounding healer, and Humanity is under homeopathic therapy. Thus, let us see ourselves in the mirror of our beloved. Chiron in Aries is all about ‘I am not good enough’. Venus on the opposite side in Libra as the ‘I love you’ symbol, seeks balance and reconciliation with ourselves.

This reconciliation can only be achieved by the purifying healing and rebirth that this Full Moon offers.
May all beings be well and safe! Sat Nam.

Pisces Full Moon - September 2020

Full Moon in Pisces

Demeter Mourning for her Daughter, Persephone - Evelyn de Morgan, 1906

This Full Moon in Pisces is becoming aware of what started with the New Moon in Leo, two weeks ago. Something that might have started as an optimistic leadership, a creative project, a joyful idea, or the need to show up in stage, has accomplished something that is in service of all. The self-consciousness (Leo) has integrated fully into the collective unconsciousness. You may have recognized that your exclusive identity is now dissolved in the ONENESS. You created your unique contribution to the WHOLE.

Since Neptune is this Full Moon ruler, her light is shed on Neptunian/Piscean themes, so let’s explore them.

Not only is Pisces the last step in the cosmic evolution, where everything ends, dissolves and merges with everything else, but having Neptune, its ruler transiting retrograde the second decan, marks also an additional process of ending a zodiac cycle. 

Neptune in Pisces is ending a 164-year cycle around the zodiac, dissolving everything that happened in between, from Aries to Pisces. Neptune is the ‘eraser’ planet. He creates chaos, disorder, disorganization. Wherever he transits, he leaves things topsy-turvy. We can expect these times to be like when you shuffle the deck of cards and gets it ready to start anew.

During the previous Neptune visit to Pisces (1847-1861), similar to today’s, there was the rising of the masses claiming their right to equally participate in society, to be recognized in an equal footing in regards to work rights and all civil rights.

The Communist League, considered the first Marxist political party, was established in June 1847 in London, England.

The “Communist Manifesto” was published in 1848 by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, establishing the social principles upon which many social reforms were based later.

In 1848, there were a series of general political upheavals starting in France and later spreading throughout Europe. They were significant Revolutions that made the traditional system collapse even though they did not entirely succeed. However, they were the foundation of ulterior socialist organizations and anarchist political groups, that were created when Neptune entered Aries.

This Full Moon sheds light on the common interests and rights of people. Since Neptune, her ruler, is retrograde, it may also contribute to the discovery of ultimate (universal) truths concerning the cosmos, the whole Earth, or any other whole collective issue, including possibly the pandemic.

Pisces and Virgo are the natural zodiac houses associated with health and healing, as well. Whereas boundless Pisces makes us vulnerable to disease (especially fungi, yeast, mold, candida, etc., but also bacteria and virus), Virgo looks for the information, the methods, the detox, the cleaning, disinfection, and purification necessary to heal.

The Sun in Virgo opposite this all-encompassing and caring Full Moon conjunct Ceres, the nurturance principle, unite forces to emotionally respond to the pandemic by nurturing, caring, charitable service, meeting the health needs of all people. Ceres with the Moon is the energy of needing to be needed, and willing to emotionally engaged in nonprofit service, just because we care it.

Ceres was the ancient Goddess of the Earth who, mourning the loss of her daughter, conjured a never-ending Winter. It was only when Mercury, the messenger to the Gods, went down to the underworld and interceded before the Lord of the Underworld, Hades (Pluto) that Ceres daughter was liberated, and yet, only half of the year. This gave the Earth the opportunity to enjoy the four seasons in place of the continuous winter.

Since Mercury is in Virgo with the Sun, may this symbolize, his intercession also in this health crisis. Mercury is, in fact, in harmonious relation (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn, so we may expect that a very thorough research, detailed investigation, relentless scientific experimentation, will bring to the surface the necessary information (Mercury) to break through the barriers and come out with a solution.

Sebian Symbol for the 11th degree Pisces

"Man traveling a narrow path seeking illumination"

"The Path of Discipleship"

"Capacity to seek a transcendent realm of reality"

Negative traits of this Moon

Since Neptune squares (by Sign) with the Nodal Axis in Sagittarius and Gemini, we can’t avoid but also consider the negative traits of this Full Moon in Pisces.

The North Node in Gemini indicates our search for data, the pieces of information needed to support our decayed and dubious belief systems, signaled by the South Node in Sagittarius.

There is the possibility that we deceive ourselves or we are deceived by others in plain sight, under the Sun and Moon lights. We may believe in fantastic theories, or lend ear to confusing information, and even become delusional. People may try to escape giving way to extreme addictions of any kind. We may become more vulnerable to being duped, or getting sick. We may project onto others our insecurities, hopes, and imaginary secret enemies, and victimize others or fall victims ourselves.

Generally speaking, there may be a deep sense of loss, and a tendency to look back trying to recover the ‘lost paradise’. Like Ceres (Demeter) we may be mourning for it, but we are asked to let go of the past.

Unfortunately, we have to acknowledge the crude reality: There is no return ticket. There is no return. Humanity is now mourning in grief. This grief is a long process that will probably last around thirty years, until Saturn and Pluto join again. I know it is disturbing, but give yourself the time and space to grieve and mourn, cry, isolate, and be good to yourself. Find ways to give meaning to every moment of your life. Care for your loved ones, care for a pet, care for a plant, care for some kind of life, even if it is just your own life!

Much love, light and life to everyone. May all beings be well. Sat Nam.
