MoonWeek Aquarius thru Taurus
Monday we have the full moon sizzle down to each cell of our bodies as it's building, she's full as the left coast of America sleeps. If you want to view the eclipse you should be flat on your back staring at her starting at 2AM PST. Below is a time calculator you can use to see what time it is for you. When the moon slips into Pisces at 7:34pm it's on. We're 'within orb' as they say, that means it's palatable to say the least. Like all process that build up and explode, volcanoes, orgasms, roller coasters and tides it's most powerful just before. So give and take a break on Monday, think about what you have been going through and tie up whatever loose ends you can. Unacknowledged danglers can explode spontaneously, so give some care to emotional crevices.
Tuesday the moon is full at 3:35am PST. This is Pisces-Virgo, the psychic efficiency expert. We can and will examine at lightening speeds the fleeting nature of our thoughts and feelings. All of the drama and trauma of the season can be put in perspective and the window is open to instant healing and resolution. We enter a two-week 'lunar cocoon'. Eclipses come in pairs, this time Lunar then Solar on the 11th of Sept, yeah I know we'll get to that next week. What we do and don't do inside this fortnight sets the tone internally and externally for the next full cycle, almost a year. So those that really step up into it will reap the benefits of awareness and forgiveness, make space in the mind/soul/body for fresh lessons and can even cut the tethers to what seem eternal issues that keep playing out in our lives. Yeah we all have issues, like 'ish you or issue not my baby'. At any time we can see their root and pull them up out of our mental and emotional gardens. The only thing holding you back is you.
Wednesday the moon goes VOID-of-COURSE. This is when she has no aspects left for the sign she's traveling through, time for the chord to resonate and for us to absorb every note that makes it up. Every aspect of this waning eclipsed moon is magnified, it's also a great time to feel her rhythm so that it becomes more organic in you, more natural. The effect is there but it's up to the receiver to tune into the affect.
Thursday the moon moves into Aries and the burst of energy is going to feel welcome, we feel like we can actually DO something with all of this. In the theme of the waning moon it's advantageous to channel the Aries furnace to tackle the ignored closets, junk drawers and hard drives of our lives. Rather then dissipating with no affect we can use it to get these short tasks taken care of. It's easy to stare at the pile of boxes as insurmountable but it really is just a short flurry that cleans them up then you stand back wondering why you waited so long. Well we know why, it's easier to talk issues and clutter than it is to move them around and actually reach out and touch them.
Friday the torch of Aries is still under our butts, you have to do something with this energy or it will course through you creating arguments, unfinished projects and general mayhem. We're going to wake up tomorrow with a Moon in Taurus and a general big view gaze over the fields of our existence. You don't want a bunch of half done projects staring you in the face. Of course we can't 'finish' everything, but if you look at it, realize it's not going to get any more 'done' and dispatch it consciously it's not going to have that baggage gravity to pull on you.
Saturday the moon is in confident and content Taurus. Look back over the week and just see the peaks and valleys for what they are; a single connected landscape. This vision of the bull is helpful to be satisfied with your lot, to forgive and realize it's all been you, the world doesn't force us to do anything we could just lay down and stop drinking and eating at any time. We are volunteers for the life. It's more a playground then a prison, go ride the swings!
Sunday is the shift all you 'Saturn returnees' have been waiting for; Saturn leaves Leo and moves into Virgo. Since July of '05 it's been a surprise quiz/inspection on reality as you know it. For us that don't have Saturn in Leo (those that do are 29ish, 58ish or 87ish) it's been an aligning of what is truly in our heart with physical reality. The ego can have high ideals about the status of the heart but the reality is sometimes harshly different. So the lessons and tunings of Saturn are never described as gentle. All systems of astrology from east to west that disagree about so much agree on this, Saturn trumps all.
As with all outer planet changes it takes awhile to settle in so it's a great opportunity to use the Taurus Moon's objective vision to see where Saturn has left its mark on you and yours the last 2+ years.
Mercury and Pluto square to make this a 'messages of war' passage for the next few days. With our intimates and our circle of acquaintances we can either build bridges of trust with an exchange or begin a feud in a single word and pinched eyebrow.
Inside this eclipse window it's all magnified, the lessons of Saturn are bearing fruit. When pruning you may feel the pain of the snips but you can have the sense also to see that the vine is healthier and the pain makes way for the fruits to come.
