Full Moon in Aquarius - August 15, 2019

Full Moon in Aquarius 22º 24'

As a Full Moon is an opposition between the two luminaries, it signals a confrontation between those two energy symbols. The Sun as the generator of Light and creator of Life fully illuminates the Moon, a body that even though is dark, is receptive and reflective. All oppositions, like reflections on a mirror, imply the relationship between the confronting energies, the full awareness of them, and the need to integrate them together.

The Sun in Leo has double strength in this chart, just for being the Center of the Solar System, but also for being on his own Sign, or home. He's been blending his energy with Venus traveling together since Sunday August 11 at 18º until August 15 at 22º, even though the exact conjunction was August 14, at 1:07 am CDT. 

Their combined energies signal an increase in the empowerment of the feminine, of women, of the creative power, of resources, values -moral and financial. Venus in the heart of Apollo, learns from his generosity, and learns a deeper meaning of love, a love that includes all and everybody. She learns a higher level of values, and of responsibility with desires. This is called Superior Conjunction because from Earth, Venus is on the other side of the Sun. Symbolically, this starts a new cycle of Venus as more concerned about mature and lasting love and desires. Becoming an Evening Star, Venus will be less impulsive, less reckless and more thoughtful, gentle and considerate. 

On the other side of the polarity, the Moon is reflecting that light in a mental, logical, intellectual and objective way. Our emotions are almost doubting so much loving and creative energy. The Moon in Aquarius, a fixed Sign, ruled by Uranus in Taurus, another fixed sign, can make us dig our heels in our ideas, and not give in to the needs of the heart. Physically we may feel shaky with anxiety and have difficulty sleeping. Mentally, we may receive intuitive liberating insights, futuristic ideas of freedom and innovation. 

However, the negative manifestation of this Full Moon can make authorities (Sun in Leo the sign of royalty) more selfish, self-centered and self-serving, especially in opposition to the demands of the common people (Moon in Aquarius). With this Full Moon, it's not surprising to see people's rebellions and uprisings all over the world, when we consider that the energies at work are in Fixed, stubborn Signs.

Not only does Uranus Rx in Taurus have a stronger stubborn electrical attitude, but, even though he doesn't make an exact square by angles, it challenges both the Leo stellium and the Moon at the same time, because Venus rules Taurus, and Uranus rules Aquarius. 

Uranus in Taurus is feeding people's minds with re-valorization of the natural resources. Survival of the common people is threatened, and the 'royal' (Leo) elite holding the power seems to only be working to protect their own survival, and their own 'values' at the expense of everything and everyone else, including the planet. 

This Full Moon is charged with the antagonist clash between the authoritarian powers and the common people (Moon). Let's not forget that Venus and the Sun are inconjunct Pluto in Capricorn, which signals that the rebellion is against those authorities' coercive schemes, against corrupted political institutions and powers trying to subdue, even subjugate them.

I refer you back to my previous post on the upcoming Saturn Pluto Conjunction.  Last time, in 1518, when that conjunction took place in Capricorn, Uranus was also in Taurus, at 4º in an exact trine.  Then, Europeans, invading the today called American Continent, waged war against the Natives on the premise that they where not Christian (which at the time meant not being human), thus ensuring their own survival outside the overcrowded European continent where there was an economic crisis. 

Mercury in an almost exact square to Uranus, in fixed signs, and trine to Chiron, adds his dose of intellectual debate. This square makes for intransigent ideas, stubborn discussions, clashes of ideologies, internet debates, heated words, conspiracy speculations. No one yields, no one gives in. Each side has its reasons, evidence, pieces of information. The internet can be figuratively on fire. In fact, technology wise, we may experience some hiccups as well.

Mercury trine Chiron. Something that happened or was stirred up during the Solar Eclipse was crucial and instrumental in the message Mercury brings to the Sun's home of Leo and to Chiron today. Visit my post about the activation of Chiron this month, to find out what it is.

This is the collective perspective to interpret this chart, matching the evidence in the news, using observation and correlation of symbols. 

I know some may see this Full Moon as a very positive energy to give us a new creative and lucky boost, but remember that energies are neutral, and people can use them with free will, to do good or bad actions.  Even Venus and Jupiter, the supposedly 'benefic', can be bad if we overdo them.  In your personal life, depending on how the transiting cosmic bodies make contact with your Natal Chart, the level of evolution you have, and the decisions you make, the results can be dramatically different. Thus the need to have a personal reading if you like to know how the Full Moon will affect your life.

New Moon in Leo 8º - July 31- August 1st, 2019

New Moon in Leo with a Love shake! 

July 31- August 1

There is a new start in the realm of creativity with the sacred fire of the Leo season. Love, optimism, generosity, joy, and play are now revived. With Venus nearby in square to Uranus, expect to attract and be drawn to the most unusual, unexpected, and shocking things, situations, likes, people and places. You want to break free from the old boring and known. Some uncertainty and anxiety is expected as we don’t know what is coming or how far this can go. Whatever you get these days, in a form of relationships, financial decisions or purchases, probably won’t last long unless there was some previous background work, planning, or aim. It’s just the time to enjoy the moment. On the other hand, Uranus' shake can help trigger a long waited decision after so much restriction and rumination (Saturn, Pluto and South Node in Capricorn, Mercury and four more retrograde planets).

Grand Fire Trine

You should pay attention to the loose grand fire trine of the New Moon with Jupiter and Chiron. From Sagittarius, Jupiter is promising too much with a pompous optimism; from Aries, Chiron doesn’t feel too confident. In fact, this New Moon can boost our assertiveness, give us some degree of confidence and forgiveness of our shortcomings and faults. Just tell Chiron not to be a party pooper. Read more about what Chiron is doing in August. Adding Neptune square Jupiter to the concoction, one may have the tendency to drift away to dreamy land on the fiery flying carpet of indulgence.

Mercury Turns Direct

On the reasonable side, Mercury is turning direct today, but in Cancer, the mind is still emotionally driven and kind of slow before the Messenger of the Gods gains some speed forward. The mind shows us images and metaphors, we talk in symbols and synthesize ideas into images. Mercury in Cancer also allows us to listen to and use our intuition. Hummh… going back to the inspiration and intuition of Neptune? Well, after all, if we consider Neptune trine to the North Node of the Moon, that’s what we are supposed to do! I agree, it’s confusing! So keep these keywords : confusion and indulgence.

Make this day the best you can! Sat Nam

August 2019 Chiron Activation

From Wikipedia commons
That white speckle around 10 o'clock is not dust on your screen, it's Saturn, the blue circle in the middle is Jupiter's orbit around the Sun. The crazy red 'circle'? It's Chiron's orb. Do you understand now why it's called 'wounded'?

August 1 - Venus in Leo trine Chiron in Aires 

"True love cannot be made without Chiron" Jeremy Neal

Venus comes along to the Sun stage in Leo as part of the cast, remember from July's episode of Chiron Story? Once more, she stirs Chiron's sensitivity to his ugliness and disharmony, but this time his painful love has matured. Chiron is now ready to take the challenge of unconditional love. His enlightenment allows him to "see beauty where [he hadn't] noticed it, and find value in what [he previously] dismissed as ugly or worthless" (Melanie Reinhart, The Healing Journey, pg 207).

Chiron's enlightenment is due to the influence of Venus square Uranus, the Lord of the Heavens, the awakener, and the maverick. This may have us like things we didn't like before, especially things, places, people foreign to us, different, foreign cultures, foreigners, out of the norm, and yes, imperfect! We  may attract or feel attracted to the weirdness of Chiron. Remember that Uranus is also making a long-lasting semi sextile with Chiron, about which I wrote in my July story.

Venus trine Chiron is part of the New Moon in Leo energy (July 31-August 1). Now, that Venus is so close to the Sun, she is 'shy', she is ready to make the necessary compromise, and give Chiron the kiss. Belle kisses the Beast. However, like with Shrek, the Beast may not transform into the beautiful blue-eyed charming Prince. That's not the point. What is important is to love ourselves just as we are. Are we ready to love the ugliness as well as the beauty? Can we live with imperfection and [maybe] dysmorphia? Can we forgive our shortcomings and try once more? Yes, we can, because Venus is inspired, generous, forgiving, and humble.

Venus in Leo trine Chiron in Aires is the most sacred self healing. A generous pouring of love helps Chiron to open up and show his wound of repressed feelings. We regain confidence in being human, a spiritual being living this wonderful physical experiment. Yes, we are vulnerable, yes we are hurt, yes we are imperfect, and THAT's our medicine. If we are to succeed in a love relationship, we start by learning self-love.

August 11 - The Moon square Chiron

The Moon in Capricorn forms the Third Quarter Square with Chiron. We find ourselves in introspection, reassessing the emotional process of our healing. We may feel grateful for the results. We have gained some revealing insights about how the Chiron wound works in our life. So, we are ready to let go of a piece of the pain and suffering. We assimilate the healing like fresh water in a hot day.

The Moon is the one that is constantly touching our wound, so you might want to read my blog post on the specific influence of the Moon Phases on Chiron.

August 16 - Mercury trine Chiron

Mercury in Leo has come to serve Apollo, he is the negotiator messenger or mediator in conflicts. If you remember,   last month Mercury stopped less than a degree short of trining Chiron when he turn 'retrograde'. There was a piece of information he was missing and went back to the degree of the July 16 Lunar Eclipse to find it. Picture this in your mind's eye: Mercury, the messenger of the Gods, goes back where Apollo was at 24º ♋️ to find something left behind. Something that happened or was stirred up during that eclipse was crucial and instrumental in the message Mercury brings to the Sun's home of Leo and to Chiron today.

Maybe, today we realize how this identity wound of Chiron in Aries, is related to our early childhood (Cancer) when we lived with our parents. We may remember, "When I was a child... I was once an unhappy child... I long for my home as I wanted it to be... I was hurt in my family then... that was the first time I felt  this wound." Something happened then. But we are ready to deal with it now, aren't we?

Again, remember that Mercury is also square Uranus. Uranus's electricity can jolt the mind, completely changing the thinking connections and patterns, and helping us see the reality from a entirely new perspective. Uranus awakens the mind! Especially in a hard cosmic aspect with Mercury, it challenges outmoded concepts, and questions our naming process. 

If you remember, from my Chiron activation in June blogpost, today's story may be related to what was going on June 7. It even can refer to Chiron story in May when Mercury activated him. It is important to keep a journal, so we can observe our evolution, take conscious actions, and make conscious decisions. Listening to Mercury's message makes us aware. We question things and find answers.

When I heard the song "You Say" , it blew my mind how well it represents Mercury trine Chiron. It says: "I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enough. Every single lie that says I'll never measure up. Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know." I hope you enjoy it.

So, today is the day to intellectually understand the lies we've been telling ourselves because of what we were once 'fed' at home early in life. Mercury in Leo, even though it's still combust because of the proximity of the Sun, still makes our mind confident, positive. This song or some other communication may be the inspirational message that can flip our wounded thinking forever. Listen!

August 25 -  Mars and Venus conjunct 5º Virgo, quincunx Chiron in Aries

Now we are learning how to adjust our performance, our actions with the new 'warrior' gear we just got with the Leo lessons. It may feel awkward to move with the new Chironic skills. Sometimes we may feel too impulsive, trying to initiate a different kind of relationships for example, other moments we may feel that we can't 'wear' this new concept of ourself so easily, we spend our energy analyzing or we just decide is better to retreat. Mars and Venus together increase our sensual attraction, we long for a tender sexual mate, but Chiron is nagging on the other side, still insecure, still not trusting in himself. The wound of love may bring up past life or childhood traumas in relationships that now need to be looked at in order to be resolved. But let's keep trying, in spite of the mistakes. Practice, practice, practice, makes it perfect.

August 29 - The Sun in Virgo quincunx Chiron

Now we need to adjust the new shine we have from the Sun energy. Since it is so new, we may try to show off too much, or we may fall back again to the shy side of  Chiron, avoiding taking the personal authority and confidence necessary to show who we really are. There might be moments when we ask, "is it true that I am OK with these faults, imperfections, shortcomings?,  will you accept me anyway?". Yes, you are OK! The more beautiful because you are crooked, hurt, full of scars, you are UNIQUE! So use the Sun's confidence and warmth to your advantage.

The Astronomy of Chiron

On a side note, remember that Chiron is now transiting the coldest side of his orbit around the Sun, meaning that is the farthest from him.  Chiron came to perihelion (closest point to the Sun) in 1996 and will reach aphelion mid 2021.  This deepens the meaning of Chiron transiting the Sign of Aries. The identity issues can be more cruelly perceived, may be more obscure also and harder to pinpoint for us. The more awareness you develop, the better. It is a good time to learn and practice some alternative healing methods based on using the wound. If you're interested, I refer you back to a previous post on the Healing Journey and the Cycles of Healing.

Note: Always consider transits in the context of your whole chart. I made the effort to do my analysis as thorough as possible, but it is not possible to give all the possibilities, much less the personal influence. Any transit is felt more intensely when it aspects one of your Natal or Progressed planets or points. In order to have a more accurate personal report you need a personal reading.

Much love to you. Sat Nam.

Saturn Pluto Conjunction - January 12, 2020

Saturn Pluto Conjunction

Saturn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn

We  are privileged to be part of this generation that is experiencing this powerful transition, because last time that it happens, it was about 500 years ago. This conjunction is the most powerful influence we will have in our lifetime. Power structures, social conventions, power distribution and use will be forever transmuted. Humanity is entering a whole NEW ERA. Something we haven't seen in our lifetimes is gestating during 2019. The gestation culminates in January 2020 with a metamorphosis that will completely change the world we live in forever. There is nothing trivial about it. We are not able to elude, avoid, evade, or escape this 'atomic' force (Pluto) upon us. Everyone will be affected one way or another, depending on the place this conjunction falls in one's own chart, what natal planets it challenges (specifically with hard aspects). The effects of it are the experience of our human evolution as a collective entity.

Every time Saturn makes a conflictive contact with Pluto, power is challenged, restructured, reorganized, redistributed at a massive level. Be assured that even though the establishment may try to hold its grip, even more strongly, it will not prevail. There is a higher source of power at play here, from the Universe, from the Spiritual Realm, from the ‘global’ collective.

This power is combined with the Jupiter square Neptune, making their challenging dance, each strongly planted in their own ‘homes’ during the whole 2019 year. They represent our spiritual development, inspiration, vision of the future, the search of truth, our need to connect with something greater than Humanity. They are indicating our elevation to a higher level of evolution. We long for a 'better' world, that includes all forms of life living in harmony. We long for peace, for a society that recognizes and incorporates the Natural Law, that is ready to face truth at the extreme moment we feel at the edge of extinction. As a collective, we are ready to change, a change that implies a death and rebirth process (Pluto) and the creation of new structures (Saturn).

Let us go back to the last two times when Saturn and Pluto conjoined in Capricorn to ponder the historical events that it generated, and how they reshaped humanity and the world as it was known at those times.

December 29, 1284, Saturn and Pluto met at 26º Capricorn, with the North Node, opposite Uranus, trine Neptune! After the end of the Crusades there was an increase and reorganization of the religious powers in Europe. In a way, Europe brought back new knowledge from the East that broke the Dark Ages of Medieval Times, and slowly paved the way to the Renaissance. "Europe was on the verge of one of the most productive and creative periods in its entire history. Following this long period of darkness there came this tremendous explosion of cultural achievements" (Jim Masschaele). (2)

There was a search for higher knowledge, so they started building and creating Universities. They started the creation of new legal systems with jurisprudence and judicial Courts. There was a new burst of creativity not seen since the time of the Roman Empire. Kingdoms were consolidated. Europe started the monumental construction of the gothic cathedrals with elaborated art reminiscent of what they had seen in the East. This reaffirmed the religious zeal of Europe.

Politically, the Catholic Church consolidated its power with the religious unification of Eastern and Western Europe, thus creating a stronger cultural and religious European identity. This further the polarization between the Western and Eastern worlds known at the time (1). But this also promoted the fall of the Byzantine Empire at the hands of the Ottoman Empire.

"The entire structure of European society changed during the 12th and 13th centuries, and there was a time when this change was attributed largely to the Crusades. [...] There can be little doubt that the Crusades slowed the advance of Islamic power, although how much is an open question. At the very least, they bought Europe some much-needed time. Without centuries of Crusading effort, it is difficult to see how western Europe could have escaped conquest by Muslim armies, which had already captured the rest of the Mediterranean world." (3)

And, according to Wikipedia, in 1284 "The Republic of Venice begins coining the ducat, a gold coin that is to become the standard of European coinage, for the following 600 years." (6)

The next Saturn Pluto conjunction happened January 5, 1518, at 4º Capricorn with the South Node.

The ongoing travels to, exploration and ‘Conquest’ of the American Continent changed FOREVER the shape and concept of the world! 1518 was the year when Hernan Cortes decided to head to America.
"In 1518, dissatisfied with life as a landowner, administrator and politician, he set out on his expedition to the American mainland. [By 1522, he had conquered] the Aztecs, Cortés was appointed captain-general and governor of “New Spain” (Mexico)."(4)
Europeans argue that those 'savages' needed to be 'christianized', and they used that as the excuse for all the atrocities committed against peoples completely different, so much so that it was impossible for them not only to be able to communicate, but to understand each other.

Another significant change was started with Nicolaus Copernicus affirmation that the Earth was not the center of the Universe, but the Sun was the center and the planets orbit around it. This set Humanity in a completely different direction that pave the way to the Scientific and Industrial Revolution, and the transformation of human perception of the macro and micro cosmos.

Pluto is a power difficult to reckon with; it has a relentless grip. Pluto dissolves, liquifies, destroys, demolishes, in order to rebuild. Saturn is the one driving by handing the new foundation and structure needed to rebuild.

Other Challenging Aspects of Saturn and Pluto in other Signs.

More recently, you may remember dates like July 28, 1914, Saturn and Pluto conjunction in Cancer with the North Node in Pisces.

"A month after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie, on July 28, 1914, the Austro-Hungarian government declares war on Serbia. Immediately, and within a period of six days, European countries declare war upon one another." (5)
By the end of August 1914, the whole world is at War, and the conjunction is exact at 1º ♋️. The whole European political landscape was reshaped, with changing frontiers and shifts of power holders.


September 1, 1939, Pluto in Leo square Saturn in Taurus, Great Britain and France declare war on Germany. After this war, there is new power dynamics not only in Europe, but around the world. The participating countries have made alliances that redistributed the balance of powers.

August 28, 1947, Pluto and Saturn meet in Leo, there is a trigger event that starts a Civil War in Palestine at the time. A year later, following the occupation of the territory by the Jews, the British had left, and Palestinians start their Exodus. This event marks another redistribution of powers and political realignments around the world.

September 11, 2001. Pluto in Gemini opposite Saturn in Sagittarius. Not much is needed to explain to my contemporaries how this event changed our whole world forever. There has been a religious polarization, political alliances aimed to protect and defend security. The exacerbation of xenophobic sentiment expresses the grip of fear. Since then, human beings are now led by the power of fear  of death and extinction (Pluto).

Religious powers drove and were actively involved in most of those events. You can take a look at the power dynamics in each of them, and get an idea of the repeating theme. We are certainly approaching some kind of redistribution and reorganization of powers affecting the whole world. Let us brace ourselves.

In our personal life, we are learning how to harness power, and how to exert it in a more balanced way. Examine your own Birth Chart or order a reading, but, by now, it should be evident to you what is the area of your personal life that needs a restructure of power.

Every time Saturn Pluto conjunct in Capricorn there is a global redistribution of power, but not without conflicts.  Read my whole series about this important multiple conjunction in Capricorn on January 12, 2020, and how it is the door to a New Era, starting HERE.

My Spiritual Perspective

Does Humanity need another bloody conflict to learn to live in peace?
Are we ready to learn to live in peace, first with self and then with others?
Let us temper our will, decrease our desire to have and conquer things we don't need to be happy.
Let us learn to manage our own power. Real power comes from humility, meekness and love.
I believe that mutual understanding and non-violence is possible. It is just a matter of decision.
It may just start with not hating, not judging, not condemning, not abusing, not sabotaging ourselves and others.
Please, please, please reflect, meditate, ponder the possibility of PEACE.

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people living life in peace, you

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope some day you'll join us

And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope some day you'll join us

And the world will be as one

John Lennon

Venus Pluto opposition - July 20/21, 2019

July 20, 2019 - What is REALLY going on?

Venus in Cancer opposite Pluto in Capricorn at 21º. Venus represents the desires, what we value and attract, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Those values relate to relationships and finances as well, they imply duality, and relating to something outside of ourselves that we deem lacking and needing.

Now, Pluto is a superpower of attraction, and repulsion. It is the transformative power of destruction and creation, death and rebirth. There is nothing light about Pluto’s influence, it works slowly and relentlessly. Pluto is also obsessive and compulsive, the energy of holding on with a tight grip, a force that cannot be resisted, a force that dissolves (think of the caterpillar inside the chrysalis) the matter to give it another form (butterfly). Pluto is the black holes of the Universe where everything becomes energy, where everything visible disappears and whence everything is generated into matter.

These two energies cannot be more unalike. Venus represents harmony and gentleness, Pluto was also Hades, the darkest of darkness. To complete the picture one can remember the Myth of Persephone being dragged to the Underworld, and kept captive there until an agreement was reached to let her free for a time (Spring and Summer).

We can already see powerful economic dealings in the world stage (in your life?), probably some secret financial agreements that will have long-lasting effects for all. The wealth (Pluto) and resources (Venus) of the world are being slowly redistributed somehow, dissolved in some areas, reappearing in others.

Love relationships can undergo powerful transformations, with power struggles, great tension, and profound changes. Couples can have a period of crisis where one side wants to break the shackles and the other tightens them. Pluto attempts to seduce Venus at all cost. If Venus surrenders or falls prey, like Persephone, she may be forever a prisoner. There might be a dose of sexual or another addiction as well. Pluto may incite people to have secret affairs, taboo, or hidden sexual contacts, so they need to beware of the consequences. In all cases, there is a lesson to be learned, so if you are in those kinds of situations, step back and reflect before acting... if possible.

I also notice that the 21º Cancer Capricorn is matched by the numerology of today's date 7-20-2019=21.
This is what <sacredscribesangelnumbers.blogspot.com> says about this number:

"Number 2 resonates with the attributes of duality and finding balance, consideration and co-operation, relationships and partnerships, encouragement, selflessness and your Divine life purpose and soul mission. The energies of the number 1 include new beginnings, independence, uniqueness, motivation, striving forward and progress, attainment, achievement and success. This makes 21 a number of versatility, energy, charisma and communication. Number 21 suggests that there may be some new opportunities or directions for you to take that will lead you in new and exciting directions. Trust that your angels are by your side throughout these changes and transitions and are guiding your every step. They encourage you to remain calm, balanced and happy and you will find that all will work out for your highest good."

This transit lasts from the 18 to the 23 approximately, and it’s very powerful. Now you know, be mindful, become aware of the energies influencing your life.

Make it a great day! Sat Nam.
