The Conscious Totality of Being - Second Aquarius Full Moon 2021

 The Conscious Totality of Being

Astrotransits of August 15 to 22 

and 

The Second Aquarius Full Moon

This week, your health, your daily routines, and the need to solve some problems are at the forefront with Mars and Mercury in Virgo at the apex of a Yod with Saturn (210º, 8th house energy) and Chiron (150º, 6th house energy). As always, with quincunxes, we look for adjustments, and we need to make compromises or trade-offs more than we would want. With the Yod, the sextile at the bottom of the isosceles triangle provides a possible way out. The social constraints, and scientifically based prescriptions indicated by Saturn in Aquarius support the wounding-healing of Chiron in Aries. This influence will practically dominate the entire week, especially leading to the (second) Aquarius Full Moon. 

 However, as Saturn is retrograde, science is busy reviewing, reconsidering, analyzing the data and studying the results so far. That explains the comings and goings of the authorities handling new directives left and right, provoking a consequent questioning from critical thinkers. Of course, Saturn is last-quarter-squaring Uranus in Taurus, which means that the innovations are questioned, and resisted by society. Saturn wants things to go back to the old ways, but at the same time, because Aquarius is ruled by Uranus and Uranus is slower moving, Saturn needs to integrate new ways. Saturn will be forced by Uranus to do that by the end of the year when they clash (perfect square again) adding one more to your Christmas presents. 

August 15-17

 The week opens with Venus entering her home of Libra in perfect sextile with the Moon just entering Sagittarius. I’d say it’s a very nice homecoming for Venus, since she is separating from her opposition to Neptune, from a quincunx with Jupiter, and from a trine to Pluto. She says “it’s so good to be back home!”. This may be a breather for relationships and money matters. The turbulent waters start to subside. If you were successful with those previous struggles, you can relax, but, in any case, the troubles will somehow be lifted. 

 As we start the week, father Sun in Leo also forms a Yod with Neptune in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn from the 14 to the 17 of August. You may have been feeling that you have a hard time to make decisions, considering different (and too many) possibilities, and your hesitance leaves you stranded among several imagined realities. At the same time, you’re persistently planning, analyzing, investigating, and near drowning in that fear of uncertainty, unable to make the necessary changes. The solution again comes from accepting the Pluto transformation of your spiritual being. Human beings are now integrating the idea that all and everything they deal with has a spiritual dimension. This is because everything is energy, from your thoughts to your physical body, from the tangible to the intangible matters. Neptune has been sextile Pluto for decades now, helping us gain a broader spiritual perspective and translate it into our practical life. 

 On the road to the Full Moon, something great happens, a Grand Earth Trine soothes the Mars Mercury quincunx to Chiron. The Moon in Capricorn trine the perfect conjunction of Mercury and Mars in Virgo and both are in an (closely) applying trine to Uranus in Taurus. You give assertive statements, make strong determinations supported by your emotional body and your need for freedom. The trine doesn’t mean that things are good, it only means that the energy flows easily, that it’s easy to go ahead without having to sort obstacles, so be careful of what you say or agree to do since Mercury with Mars can be argumentative. The fact that they are in the mutable sign of Virgo may contribute some flexibility even though they don't see eye to eye with your Chiron wounding. 

August 19

 On August 19, there is another building block to the Aquarius Full Moon, because of the following powerful events in the sky. The Sun in Leo opposes Jupiter at 27º, boosting your creative juices, enhancing your personality to a bombastic level, filling your heart with grandiose optimism, and great enthusiasm. You will feel generous and probably more indulgent with your children. My advice would be to do it within your means, though. There could be some ego clashes here and there. You may reflect or project that need to get noticed, but take care of not overextend yourself in an embarrassing way. Although, for a couple of days, Jupiter will help the meek and shy. 

 Uranus turns retrograde at 14º48’. If you have any planet, angles or points at 14º of Taurus, or any other fixed Sign for that matter, you have been certainly feeling it already, because Uranus has stationed on that degree since July 7. By the way, Uranus will stay planted on that degree until October 4. Uranus will come back there next year, so brace yourselves. My best wishes and blessings! When a planet drills on a certain territory for such a long time, one may expect an excessive power, which we have seen lately with the devastating earthquake (Uranus) in the Caribbean (Taurus). More may come, because in fact the seismic and volcanic activity has increased in intensity lately. Watch out for symbolic ‘earthquakes’ in your personal life, in the Taurus area of experience of your natal chart. 

August 20

 August 20, Mercury in Virgo trine Uranus most probably shows the speedy flow of extraordinary information. There will probably help to organize the needed material assistance (Virgo) to the victims (reflection onto Pisces) of the natural catastrophes (Uranus in Taurus) . Let’s remember as well that all planetary synodic cycles have the imprint of their conjunction energy. When Mercury conjoined Uranus on April 24, 2021, for example, the new Astronauts boarded the ISS after the SpaceX flight. Look on your journal or planner, what happened back then for you personally. This first trine will probably relate to that same theme. 

August 21

 August 21, Venus trine Saturn sobers up your desires, reminds you of traditional values, and helps you moderate spending. Love becomes serious and durable. Adding the North Node, a Grand Air Trine contributes to your incline for relational, communicative, and general social harmony. You are willing to commit to some kind of social participation, to invest your energy in a group activity, or to agree about taking a short trip for a well-planned event. 

August 22

 August 22, just a few hours before the Aquarius Full Moon, with the Moon exactly conjunct Jupiter, Mars makes the first trine to Uranus, inviting you to some exciting adventure. The Mars Uranus synodic cycle started January 20, 2021. If you live in the USA, I don't need to remind you the main event of that day, just consider that is the kind of energy imprinted in their two year cycle. Personally, you want to free yourself from routine work, and go instead with your tribe for some experimental, out of the box physical activity. It doesn’t have to be anything weird, just a sport you’ve never tried before, something new and different for you. You’d probably have a blast! 

Aquarius Full Moon

    Then, Bang! At 7 am CST, the Full Moon happens at 29º♒️37’ just a few minutes away from the position of Venus (28º♒️ 45’) in the January 12, 2020 chart of the Saturn Pluto conjunction. Remember? It feels that it was 100 years ago, right? This is important to consider because it emphasizes the focus on social values and the spiritualization of the collective. In fact, Dane Rudhyar Sabian symbol defines the 30th degree as the “conscious totality of being”, or becoming consciously aware of the collective as ONE. His Mandala states that “A spiritual Brotherhood constitutes a state of "multi-unity" — i.e. a multiplicity of individuals, but a unity of consciousness and "Soul" —thus unanimity ("anima" meaning Soul). In this spiritual Whole, each unit is a recognizable "form" or entity if one looks at it with the eyes of personality; but when seen through a unified spiritual vision or from a distance, the Whole appears to be one single area of radiant light.” 

 If you think about the changes introduced by our unwelcome ‘guest’, the current common enemy to our health (that I refuse to name), you realize that our social (Aquarius) values (Venus) have been radically challenged. That enemy has made us more solidary, able to compromise for the benefit of the group, the community, and even the global collective. 

 This Full Moon is also the completion of the February 11, 2021 Aquarius New Moon @ 23º16’. Remember the Aquarius stellium comparable to the one in February 1962? Its Sabian Symbol was, “Someone who has overcome his/her passions, now shares the earned wisdom as an example for those still striving to overcomes theirs. Responsibility to help others in their evolution.” 

 Now we’ve come to the end of Aquarius, the very last degree where the work has to be wrapped up and completed. 29º♒️ is in the decan of Venus (values again), and the Egyptian term of Saturn (durable, separating, set in stone). This Full Moon, then brings about the completion of the Aquarian journey, where ONE transcends society, and visualizes a higher level of human existence, the unity of consciousness, a unified spiritual vision. When each individual has integrated his or her own part to the ‘community’, by communing in face of the same threat, then we have achieved the “conscious totality of being”. In fact, the common enemy has contributed to our understanding of our integration and belonging to a greater entity, the ONENESS. We now can’t think of ourselves as islands, as floating isolated atoms in the vast space. No. We realized that we belong to Mother Earth, that we are one with the soil, the water, the air, and the ether. We inter-depend on everything else. Only now, are we able to make sense of what Life is, of its Value, and of what we need to do to preserve it. 

 Happy Full Moon!

Creating your cozy shelter

 

Cancer New Moon 

June 9, 2021

Sextile Uranus

    As the projective (Sun) and receptive (Moon) side of your personality unite in this New Moon, your comfort zone gets a new emotional start. You are inspired to create with new vibes that are positive and intense at the same time. You may have some nice surprise or an unexpected encounter that makes you review your comfort zone. Uranus brings fresh air and you are open to the excitement of the new [weird?] possibilities. You reconsider eccentricity. What or who has been unusual for you before may sound acceptable now. That allows you to welcome new opportunities for reviewing what you consider comfortable. A group of friends can play an important role in making you aware of your emotional and social needs. Also, something you find on the Internet, or using a communication device can connect you with your emotional body, with a surprise. In any case, whatever the unforeseen event or person is, it doesn’t shake you out of balance, because you are now open to the loud and extravagant side of things. In fact, the sextile gives you enough room to make the decision to accept it or not. 

Trine Neptune 

 With the Watery support of Neptune, the reinvention of your comfort zone comes from spiritual or mystic inspiration, probably with the desire to help someone else or pamper yourself. If your emotional nest includes a significant other, a dear family member or friend, especially women, then, you will be in tune with what exactly they want. You may find emotional comfort by getting involved in charitable activities, or volunteer service in a hospital or for people in need. This New Moon will certainly make you more compassionate and gain insights into your subconscious mind. You may also find comfort in any artistic self-expression, like dance, painting, photography and home décor. You may gladly surprise yourself with what you can write on a blank page without even having a prior idea or thinking much. Try some poetry, or a love letter to your mother. 

Square Chiron 

 However, Chiron in Aries is the spoilsport. Your vulnerability, your negative feelings, your sense of not being ‘good enough’ are triggered and can block you from creating the cozy shell you want now. Chiron’s nagging will urge you to a serious identity introspection. It’s a very intimate influence that may bring to mind questions like ‘do I deserve to be cared for?’ ‘why am I always left out?’ or ‘who cares for me?’ The tense 90º angle of this New Moon to Chiron certainly requires a deeper examination of your emotional life, a reconsideration of who you think you are, a bit more of self-love, self-acceptance, and self-approval. 

 Opposite Pluto 

 Now, Pluto opposition wants to purify both the feminine (Moon) and the masculine (Sun) energetic elements of your personality. His intense power can manifest as another person, an intimate relationship or even a powerful public servant, who confronts you if you are not in full integrity in a given situation. Someone may demand you to make a fundamental change, a profound transformation of what you count as a comfort zone. If your personal relationships have not been working well for whatever reason, Pluto’s opposition to the New Moon may be the 'make or break' moment. Either of you are trying to reform the other and there is resistance and rebellion. Both parties want to have their emotional needs satisfied, feel at ease and safe; but if they are not willing to concede and peace is not possible, the domestic life will be disrupted and the partnership will suffer radical changes, even the complete rupture. Moving is also a possibility. 

 Uranus in Taurus T-Square Mars-Venus in Leo and Saturn in Aquarius 

Venus Mars conjunction in Leo wants to play, take risks, satisfy their desires, get recognized for their creative expression. In doing so, they may get loud, colorful, overexcited, flamboyant, even aggressive, considering the unpredictable poke of Uranus. Yet, on the other side, Saturn says, ‘not so fast’. You are reminded of social responsibilities, decorum, rules and duties. The tension is extreme, explosive, and spurs you into action. 

Finding Shelter

What is your comfort zone? Where will you feel this New Moon, what kind of seed of change are you planting to find your 'shelter'? The New Moon in Cancer falls in the following areas according to your Rising Sign. 

ARIES Moving houses, family dynamics, family members, home, emotional foundation. 

TAURUS Siblings, communications, developing skills, language, learning. 

GEMINI Financial security, money, possessions, body energy, sexual ability, voice. 

CANCER Self, health, initiations, beginnings, behavior. 

LEO Retreat, isolation, hospital, spiritual well being, subconscious, the past, losses, endings. 

VIRGO Groups of friends, like minded groups, hopes, dreams. 

LIBRA Public reputation, social and professional recognition, career, boss, father figures. 

SCORPIO Vision of the future, higher understanding of the world, religious concerns, grandchildren.

SAGITTARIUS Crisis, taxes, debt, loans, inheritance, shared resources, the occult. 

CAPRICORN Spouse, partners, how to relate with another, contracts and agreements. 

AQUARIUS Health, daily routines, activities that maintain the wellbeing, work, the work place, pets. 

PISCES Children, creative expression, having fun, taking risks, joy of life, romance.

Neptune Retrograde

 

Neptune Retrograde 

    Neptune completes a cycle around the Sun in approximately 165 years, which means that he stays about 14 years in each sign of the Zodiac. Neptune has been in Pisces since August 2011 and will leave in 2025. He’s retrograde 150 days every year, now from June 26 to December 1st . 

    Neptune indicates a number of themes mainly related to our unconscious mind. Dreams, intuition, spiritual experiences, and creative inspiration are all associated with the Neptune archetype. However, that’s not all. Neptune issues may also manifest as isolation, seclusion, fears, delusion, losses, and those vulnerabilities one is completely unaware of, among other subjects. 

Touching ground during low tide at Mount Saint Michel, France.

    As Neptune turns retrograde in his own Pisces home (in spite of some opinions that Neptune doesn’t rule anything), the landscape changes similarly to the low tide time of the day. The ocean retreats, and the beach shows its secrets. Translated into plain human life, it means that certain illusory perceptions, the mind fog and cloudy thinking, is lifted, allowing you to discover the reality underneath. You may be up for some unwanted surprises. Here are some examples of treasures and dangers of real low tides. 

    The mind is in a sensitive introspective mode, more aware of dreams, which could reveal ideas, visions, premonitions, or subconscious issues processed during deep sleep states. This may contribute to find out the sources of self-undoing, or discover hidden ‘enemies’. In fact, dreams can also bring out the solution to a confusing situation. 

    Fears may arise when you suffer a harsh reality check that bring you back down from the ‘clouds’ with a loud crash. You may discover that your idealization of a situation or person has allowed you to fall victim of them. In a way, your self-deceptive ideations become your own hidden enemies. 

    

    With Neptune, enemies come in all shapes and sizes. They could be from microscopic germs, an elusive unexplained illness, a deceptive person, or undetected environmental circumstances or elements potentially affecting you without your knowledge. Even your own beliefs are sometimes your hidden enemies, which sometimes prove to be fatal. Any of those may show up now for you to see their ugly faces. 

    

    Neptune retrograde brings an inability to grasp the spiritual reality for what it is. You may feel vulnerable to the products of your imagination, to your haunches, to fantasy or even to your spiritual practice. Neptune in Pisces exacerbates the dissolution of boundaries of all kinds, which makes you feel that you are floating in space like an astronaut who got disconnected from the International Space Station while in space walk. If you use alcohol or drugs, you run the risk of overdose, or of a wrong ‘trip’ from which it’s difficult to come back. So, my advice would be to avoid using any substance that may contribute to further distorting your mind. 

    Even spiritual experiences through transcendental meditation, out of the body travel, or deep dream states may be a source of fear as well, especially if they are new to you, because with Neptune retrograde you’re able to be aware of both planes at the same time, however unable to make sense of them. 

    There may be a tendency to avoid spiritual activities, keep your fantasy land to yourself, because you are now disillusioned. Something popped your bubble. Either you’ve fallen victim of your imagination or your imagined reality has been shattered. Under Neptune retrograde is hard to keep up the faith; you tend to mistrust what’s ahead, and doubt your intuition. 

    You may not feel confident about your hope for the future, not even about your creative muses and expressing your soul through artistic endeavors. However, it is a good time to give physical shape to your visions. Thanks to the constant sextile to Pluto, you have the opportunity to mix Earth and Water work and imagination, adding material power to your spiritual expansion. Consequently, artists could take advantage of Neptune retrograde. 

    Regarding the material reality, Neptune retrograde exposes the lack of boundaries, hence you’re aware of your bodily vulnerability, and possibly of material losses. Now, you will realize the importance of strengthening the immune system, maintaining safety precautions to protect yourself from bugs, germs, bacteria, viruses, and most especially mold and fungi (Water). Keep in mind that they are unseen enemies. Having the traditional ruler of Pisces, Jupiter, and the modern ruler, Neptune, both retrograde at the same time, magnifies this kind of energy. It’s not unlikely to have new mutations of the present viruses that become stronger and more problematic. 

    With Saturn retrograde in Aquarius, in square to Uranus with Mars opposing, there is a great struggle for freedom of movement, fight against social restrictions, and the great urge to enjoy the summer vacations (in the Northern hemisphere). Many people will enjoy the new opportunities, and most will forget prudence and throw caution through the window. You may think that viruses are an ‘invention’, which may or may not be scientifically accurate, nonetheless they are not less real. In my astrological opinion, this is something Neptune retrograde may reveal and confirm during the next five months until December 1st, 2021. 

    By the end of the retrograde motion, you may have come to realize that your fanciful ideas, the misinformation (patent during this Mercury retrograde period square Neptune) and misunderstanding of reality prove to be dangerous in the unforeseen future. Neptune retrograde may confront your ideas and wake you up to face your delusions. The next five months will give you an opportunity to open your mind and become more receptive to the truth, in spite of your unwillingness to see reality for what it is. 

    In conclusion, Neptune retrograde is a great time to shake off useless or dangerous fantasies and come to terms with your creativity, and healthy spirituality. Enjoy and take advantage of this time. Observe the issues related to the house where Neptune is transiting in your chart and keep a journal, so you can later let me know if you have experienced anything of what I described above.

Jupiter in Pisces, and Conjunct Neptune

Jupiter enters Pisces May 13 - July 28, 2021 

and December 30, 2021 - December 21, 2022

Jupiter Conjunct Neptune – April 11, 2022

Jupiter comes back to Pisces every 12 years (2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962, 1950-51, 1938-39). However, meeting Neptune in his own home only happens every 166 years. Jupiter conjoined Neptune in Pisces last time on March 16, 1856 at 18º12’. Every time, they do so with about 6-degree difference, so on April 11, 2022, they will meet at 23º58.

 

Jupiter (Zeus)

Astrologers often go back and research the historical events and developments of the time, and always find significant insights and relevant correlations with the planets in question. In my research for this conjunction in 1856, I found noteworthy details closely related to the themes of both, Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces. 

The Themes of Jupiter in Pisces

Spirituality


Jupiter in Pisces opens the access to spirituality through meditation and inner reflection, in direct contact with the spiritual realm. The individual exploration results in multiple access doors to perceiving, understanding and interpreting spirituality, as each may have his or her own experience. Then the spiritual awakening that Jupiter in Pisces stimulates has probably many faces, since each one of us perceives a different side of truth. In any case, Jupiter in Pisces gives wisdom through our intuition, and understanding comes in one complete piece.

When Jupiter conjoins Neptune, it’s a great time to go on a silent retreat, look for isolation to tap into other dimensions. The human mind may open even more to accept unexplainable ‘facts’ and events, and even increase the awareness of telepathy. You may attune to the collective unconscious, realizing things that you don’t know how you know. On the tangent, Jupiter in Pisces can also widely spread religious fanaticism, and some people may become adamant about their personal convictions to the point of shoving their beliefs down the throat of others.

Wikipedia lists 39 new religious organizations established in 1856, and states that there was a 

“‘Fourth Great Awakening’ to be likened to pentecost, the sixteenth-century reformation and the eighteenth-century awakening in colonial America. After the annus mirabilis each of the evangelical denominations could report huge accessions: of the largest bodies, the presbyterians (old and new schools) added almost thirty thousand members by examination, the major baptist churches baptised almost one hundred thousand new members, while the two main branches of methodism reported a staggering net increase of nearly one hundred and eighty thousand, a growth of sixteen per cent over the previous year.” 1

Creativity

Jupiter in Pisces gives abundant inspiration, and a great ability to imagine better things. As an artist, you may discover yourself ‘downloading’ your piece of art all finished. A prolific imagination ensures abundance of film production, photography, make believe and virtual realities, and the promotion of the philosophy that stands for creating the life you want just with your imaginative mind.

On the other hand, there could be extreme expressions of fantasy. Jupiter Neptune conjunction is very ungrounding. Where there were delusions, misleading, misconceptions, Jupiter can make for a Gargantuan deception (like the one started in Germany with Jupiter in Pisces in 1938-39) 2. People who are not able to handle this extreme ethereal energy may fall victim of escapism, or literal madness. However, the History of Art abounds of examples of genius seemingly mentally disturbed artists, like Paul Gauguin, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Vincent Van Gogh, to name just a few.


Escapism 

The expansion Jupiter adds to the Piscean energy sharing the field with its ruler, Neptune, is so intense that you feel a deep sense of emptiness, impossible to grasp reality and chaos. Boundaries are blurred or disappear, all kinds of walls fall down, including the personal protection provided by the aura (our bio-magnetic energy field). You may not realize where you begin and where you end, become everything and everybody, and have difficulty understanding reality, or finding what you thought reality was before. Other transiting planets provoking serious conflicts will contribute to the chaos, and people may not know what is what, who is who, where is here or there.

Similar to 1962, especially young people will protest wars with flowers and unconditional boundless love. This could be very destabilizing for individuals. Addicted and addictive people may fall deeper into their addictions unable to find a footing and trying to escape kaleidoscopic circumstances. Of course, Jupiter adds his overdose, spiritual and material. New and more potent psychedelics may appear in the ‘market’, increasing the statistics of death due to drug abuse. So, drug traffic will most probably see the day of legalization and become drug trade instead.


Chemistry

In addition to drugs for medical and entertainment consumption, Jupiter in Pisces promotes the creation, development, and production of substances, and gases for industrial applications. Neptune in Pisces is associated with chemistry, gases. When Jupiter conjunct Neptune in Pisces with his expansive energy there is a higher risk of explosions, or the industrial widespread of some substance.

In 1856, Mauveine, the first synthetic organic dye, is discovered by William Henry Perkin (British chemist and entrepreneur), while attempting to synthesize quinine. Mauveine, also known as aniline purple and Perkin's mauve, was one of the first synthetic dyes. It was discovered serendipitously by William Henry Perkin in 1856 while he was attempting to create a cure for malaria. It is also among the first chemical dyes to have been mass-produced. This eventually leads to the birth of the chemical industry. 3

As discussed before (under Creativity) Pisces is the energy of illusions, imagination, fantasy, thus it gives the creative inspiration. It’s usually found strong in charts of musicians, artists, actors, and photographers.

In 1856, photography was being revolutionized by the invention of the collodion process, using new chemical substances. Theorized 1850 by Gustave Le Gray, it was invented in 1851 by Frederick Scott Archer. This new way of processing photos on the spot allowed to have in about fifteen minutes the ‘instant’ pictures of the time. 

“The wet collodion process was almost at once universally adopted because it rendered detail with great precision that rivaled that of the daguerreotype.” 4 In the following years, photographers and experimenters refined or varied the process, so by the end of the 1860s it had almost entirely replaced the daguerreotype photographic process with great success.5 


Health and Healthcare

Previous visits of Jupiter in Pisces have coincided with important events related to compassionate social service, widespread health issues (epidemics, pandemics), and healthcare.

During the AIDS era of the 80’s, “The U.S. Public Health Service adds HIV as a “dangerous contagious disease” to its immigration exclusion list and mandates testing for all visa applicants. The HIV ban will not be lifted until January 4, 2010” 6 (May 15, 1987 while Jupiter first quarter square to Neptune), which combines the global and travel implications related to Jupiter with the health concerns of Neptune). In 1986, the first anti-smoking ad saw the light of day.

In 2009, when Jupiter and Neptune conjoined in Aquarius, there was the H1N1 virus pandemic, and in the USA the revolutionary healthcare provision called Obamacare, which ended up benefitting only a selected (Aquarius) sector of society (i.e. with Internet access) and not the people who needed healthcare the most, the very poor and disadvantaged (which corresponds to Pisces). In fact, the most disadvantaged were left out of the “Obamacare” program.

Both rulers of Pisces meeting in the Sign is a rare occurrence that only happens every 166 years. During their previous Pisces visit, in 1856, according to this health map, some diseases were imported into America from Europe (typhus) with immigrants, and others from Africa (leprosy) and especially from West Africa through the slave trade (yellow fever). Also, in the previous conjunction in Pisces, in 1690, “A massive outbreak of the measles epidemic occurred in Japan,” where the Jupiter Neptune conjunction fell in the country’s chart 6th house of health (April 3, 1457, 3:40 PM Jul.Cal.). 7

Due to the boundless expansion stimulated by Jupiter in Pisces in the presence of its modern ruler, Neptune, a surge of covid19’s variants is not discarded. Neptune dissolves energetic defenses, Jupiter is increasing the dissolution, and other symbols of Neptune, like contagion, germs kept alive in humidity, like mold, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. People will certainly be more susceptible to illnesses caused by those agents. The most effective way to protect oneself is to build and cleanse the human bioenergetic field (aura), and support the immune system (also represented by Pisces).


Geopolitics

Some think that Jupiter and Neptune are only the energies of abundance, prosperity and compassionate love, however, there is plenty of evidence to the contrary. Historically, coinciding with their conjunction, squares and oppositions, there has been an increase in bombings during wars with the corollary of death and destruction, which affect geopolitics as well. In summary, Jupiter is not always the good luck, generous, “benefic” planet, but rather the expansive energy on anything he touches. Keep in mind that Jupiter can be destructive as well. In fact, Jupiter conjunct Neptune has been associated with xenophobia and cultural wars in the past.

In the USA history, 1856 was the year when the Seattle Governor Stevens had declared a "war of extermination" upon the indigenous peoples, as a corollary of the Manifest Destiny cultural belief popular in the 19th Century. 8 

Also, during that time, a mainly agricultural economy depended on the labor of enslaved people, therefore the Southern states viewed enslavement as essential to their very survival, which promoted and exacerbated the white supremacy ideology.

For nearly a century, the cultural difference between the people and politicians of the Northern and Southern states had been clashing over the issues that finally led to war: economic interests, cultural values, the power of the federal government to control the states, and, most importantly, slavery in American society. In 1856, USA Civil War was brewing with a variety of long-standing tensions and disagreements about American life and politics.9

Migrants of diverse cultures may flow through borders around the world, provoking, like in the 19th Century, a redistribution of populations, re-formation or the birth of new countries. As well as in the 19th Century, the world may see the declaration of independence of numerous countries, provinces, or regions. As usually, not without a bloodshed.

Commercialization of Addictive Substances

Pisces is the Sign of escapist behaviors, of the search for bliss and exploration of alternative realities through the use of chemical substances. Jupiter Neptune conjunction in Pisces appears to correlate to the increase in the commercialization of drugs for human consumption, be it medicinal or recreational. Obviously, trade is significantly involved in the spread of drugs and increase of addictions. 

Bataille de Pa-li-kiao, Emile Bayard

During the second half of the 18th Century, Britain has established opium commerce, smuggling it into China. The China government was not only concerned by “the moral decay of the people, but also partly with the outflow of silver”. French and American merchants were also smuggling opium into China, which as always was very lucrative. However, their ambitions grew larger.10

The "Arrow War" refers to one of the British strategic objectives: legalizing the opium trade, expanding trade, opening all of China to British merchants, and exempting foreign imports from internal transit duties. […] The Opium Wars were two wars waged between Western powers and the Qing dynasty in the mid-19th century. 11 

"The First Opium War, fought in 1839–1842 between Great Britain and the Qing Dynasty, was triggered by the Qing’s crackdown on British Opium smugglers. The Second Opium War was fought between Britain and France coalition against the Qing in 1856–1860. In each war, the European force's modern military technology led to an easy victory over the Qing forces, with the consequence that the government was compelled to grant favorable tariffs, trade concessions, and territory to the Europeans."

"These wars and the subsequently-imposed treaties weakened the Qing dynasty and Chinese governments, and forced China to open specified treaty ports (especially Shanghai) that handled all trade with imperial powers. In addition, China gave the sovereignty over Hong Kong to Britain.” 12

During the last few decades, the so called "Drug Cartels" have increased their fierce competition for 'markets', and it can be said that they are at war against each other for power and domination. Certain governments have already legalized marijuana for medicinal use, others are also contemplating advancing regulation not only to control the traffic but also to participate in the profits through taxation.  With Jupiter in Pisces and the upcoming conjunction with Neptune, things can intensify in the struggle for power in the drug traffic.


International Trade

In 1986, Jupiter in Pisces favored the globalization of the economy and the development of long distance trade.

In 2009 with Jupiter Neptune conjunction in Aquarius, Microsoft goes public, and Internet is spreading around the world, making for the widespread of information and open access to knowledge for everyone.

When Jupiter conjoins Neptune next year, international trade could be expected to expand without limitations, or border restrictions in certain regions. There could be new regional trade agreements in that sense for mutual benefit among commercial partners. As stated before, the drug traffic may expand as well with the implications of re-distribution of power by force.


Jupiter conjunct Neptune in Pisces Trivia - The biggest, the tallest, the highest

Jupiter Neptune in Pisces is also maximum exaggeration, and a time to find the maximum expression of something big. One of the news in 1856 was about the Mt. Everest. The Great Trigonometrical Survey of India officially gives 'Peak XV' (later to be named Mount Everest) the height of 29,002 ft (8,840 m), and was recognized as the highest of the world. In addition, 'Peak IX' (Kangchenjunga), previously thought to be the world's highest, is confirmed as 28,156 ft (8,582 m).13

Conclusion

As the reader understand, the upcoming Jupiter Neptune conjunction is a major one, since they have a  166 cycle in Pisces. Considering the accumulative power of all the cycle initiations that have taken place since last year, namely, Saturn/Pluto and Jupiter/Pluto in Capricorn, and Jupiter/Saturn in Aquarius, this additional one packs another punch to Humanity's Evolution. Just expect major changes. We will need flexibility, adaptability and a lot of endurance. Be brave! Be yourself!

The Healing Power of Self-Love - Full Moon in Libra

Full Moon in Libra

March 28, 2021 @ 1:50 pm CDT/18:50 UTC

A Full Moon in Libra strives for fairness, equanimity, conciliation, agreements, awakens awareness of the ‘otherness’, or relationships. As a Cardinal Sign, in a chart with highly cardinal energy, Libra demands a change of direction, especially in the healing of your vulnerabilities that are evident in relationships. This Full Moon awakens the subconscious sense of not being good enough, and it is projected or reflected on the ‘other’.

Do we 'connect'?

Libra ruler, Venus in Aries under the Sunrays, calls for healing through purification. On March 26 at 5º50’♈️ when she’s cazimi, Venus goes from Morning Star to Evening Star forming one of her 5 Star points. After being the Morning Star, as Venus is now ‘purified in the crucible’ of the Sun rays, the expression of your self-value and your relationships are especially highlighted for the rest of the year, since Venus goes through her Superior Conjunction with the Sun when the New Tropical Year starts. During the Morning Star period, Venus has probably been too daring, indulging in the sweetness of life, exceeding in the pursuit of pleasure, and it’s now time to face possible consequences of one kind or another. The Sun comes as the cathartic process, when you further your wisdom of the meaning and function of love and attraction in your life, and how to use them for your spiritual development. When after March 26, Venus comes on the other side as the Evening Star, you become more introspective, reserved and measured in the pursuit of sensual satisfaction.

Opposite the Libra Full Moon, Chiron sandwiched between Sun and Venus marks the start of a healing period, when one gains a higher level of consciousness, and is able to start healing one's sense of self (Aries). This implies having to face your most intimate feelings of not being ‘enough’, of vulnerability, inadequacy, rejection, abandonment, dissatisfaction, unacceptability, etc. that you charge against yourself. Both the Sun and Moon highlight the deepest wounds of your soul so you can acknowledge them, take responsibility for them and decide to heal. The light of the Sun, Venus and Chiron shining over the Moon’s surface at the time of the Full Moon reflects this loving self-healing, and injects compassion, harmony, goodwill, fairness and equanimity onto your psyche and emotional body. The whole process starts through and ends affecting all relationships, but also matures the way you relate to yourself and others.

On June 3d, 2020, Venus formed her previous Star Point at 13º Gemini conjunct her own Nodes and in square to Mars, the impulsive desire of life. Coincidentally, then as today, Chiron was direct at 8º Aries (May 14 to June 9, 2020). Even though with a four-degree orb, Venus was then square Chiron. In addition, in this Libra Full Moon chart, the 13º Gemini is sandwiched between Mars and the North Node, which evidences the reactivation of the same themes from last year at that time. Their joint energy means that there is a greater ambition, determination and drive against all odds, an increase in the desire to achieve your goals in your healing path. Looking at the covid19 statistics, the pandemic showed a downwards, or healing period, when the pandemic decreased its intensity.

Chiron has spent long periods at that 8º degree last year, Rx from Aug 14 to Sept 10; coinciding with the downward trend on the pandemic graphic. This year Chiron is at 8º from March 14 to 31; and later Nov 15 to Jan 23, 2022, first Rx, then turning direct at 8º 26’. If you believe the past statistics and Chiron’s associated role, you may expect a downward trend during those periods as well. (Of course, the effect is different for every country depending on which Zodiac House Chiron is transiting).

Full Moons are oppositions that manifest either in reflection or projection, also making for the full potential of the conditions or decisions started at the New Moon in Pisces. Another person or your present life circumstances around the day of the Full Moon can clearly show you (reflect or project) what you are accomplishing in this Moon cycle. Several of my clients consulting me now are experiencing situations that shed light on their deepest life wounding (Chiron), with, at the same time, a turning point when they are willing to plunge into the healing process. If you are feeling the maximum pressure, the extreme pain of your deepest personal wound it is because this is the time to take responsibility and embrace the healing. 

Nevertheless, as you’ve seen in the news lately, there are people who are so much and deeply wounded, feeding their resentments, guilt, anger and fears, that are at a point where they are not able nor willing to allow for healing, and instead choose to inflict their own pain onto others. 

As well as in the Pisces New Moon at the start of this Moon cycle, the Libra Full Moon still features MakeMake prominent participating with the Moon in a trine with Mars and Saturn. MakeMake "symbolizes the 'seed' of a New Beginning and of Life itself." MakeMake's sacred power is the Creation, and the mythical tradition represents the revival brought by the Spring season. Adds hope and stability to the new beginning.

The Moon inconjunct Uranus provides for unusual insights that illuminate solutions for the powerful opposition. This aspect is a disjoint between your uniqueness and the expectations. Unpredictable emotional reactions throw off your relationship dynamics, but not necessarily in a negative way. Because, becoming aware of how your wound impacts how you relate to others, you may decide to take a different approach.

For you, the healing process may have started a few days ago. Ruler of the North Node of the Moon, Mercury square Mars couldn’t avoid but spurt out your ‘well-kept undercover’ fear, guilt, resentment, anger. There were relationship clashes, or heated arguments, or simply a mental enlightening strike that revealed a certain truth to you. Some pain buried in the subconscious for a long time came to the surface and you had to express it, probably not in the most amorous way. Mercury in Pisces has us in contact with the spiritual reality and gives us an infinite perspective. The mind is able to grasp the metaphysic dimension of other lifetimes and help us understand our present challenges. You may have had revelatory dreams clearly showing your vulnerability. If you express yourself through art, your creativity may also have been a manifestation of buried subconscious pain.


Mars/North Node in Gemini and Saturn in Aquarius are two wings of a kite configuration that encourage and sustain the resolution of the Sun/Moon opposition of this (‘I versus You’) Aries/Libra axis. Saturn in Aquarius can teach us innovative social structures and strategies that can be applied to the general energy of this Full Moon chart. And Mars conjunct the North Node of the Moon in trine to Saturn supports a slow but perdurable building of mental patterns that resolve relationship issues through healing your own wounds. The mind makes lasting changes of direction and focus. And the applying trine from the Moon to Mars and Saturn, supports your emotional involvement in that process by focusing on fairness, objectivity, and equality (Libra Moon).

As always, when Chiron is involved so significantly, there is a wound that heals. Chiron in Aries reveals the self-identity wounding that plays out in your relationships. For instance, you could never find a partner that is 'good enough' if your inner story is always telling you that you are not 'good enough'. Or if you deceive yourself, you often find deceiving 'others' to play your inner wounding. The self-prophecy is always realized on the mirror of the 'other', where you are able to see who you really are.

This Full Moon in Libra is the most beautiful and compassionate I've seen in a long while. Venus involvement adds her unconditional love, helps to reevaluate your self-worth, and frees your self-expression. I hope you're able to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to become more aware of your wound, and heal yourself and your relationships.
