Prelude to the Full Moon in Capricorn & 2018 Eclipse Season, Part II

undulations a la Mediterranean

Are the goal posts moving or just undulating?
There is that saying, ‘if we all threw our troubles into a swapping pile, we’d quickly decide to take our own back again.’ This month is proving the point, though a lot of good that does us if we are feeling ploughed under. Still, for the vast majority of us, there are some frictionless connections, some easier compromises and adjustments that present themselves along our harried way. Corny as it sounds, we’ve got to channel some of our energy into appreciating those contact points.

If you have recently had to accept that Power comes with responsibilities and ground-holding that carry a hefty toll – or-  that you actually have ‘only so much’ Power and so must deal with it, you may be wondering if the goal posts are moving or just undulating. I think I would answer: both.

They are moving in the sense that your relative position has been updated. They are undulating because the collective experience is brimming with unbearably intense waves of the All One. Oh, the suffering and our singular helplessness… Oh, the comfort of our familiar orbit, that constellation of persons and situations so far from perfection, often frustrating and yet so much more manageable than alternatives we could activate.

In between the new moon in Gemini and the full moon in Capricorn on the 28th June, this correction ripple is meant to make us blink, re-focus and (here comes the crucial part) adjust accordingly. Want the truth out? Want maximum available due for investment? Want to keep the connection? Adjust accordingly. Results are imminent.

Some themes from readings that you may find helpful:

*Sometimes the work to be done is all about being still, to maintain a pleasant attitude in the proverbial waiting room. This can be incredibly difficult – exhausting, even. Can you hang in there? Yes. (When you mess up, begin again.)

*Knowing your place and estimation in another’s reality might need a foundational revisit: with some people, this will be a fluid connection. If the level of constancy you seek/believe you need isn’t there, what are your options? To what degree is fear a component in your vision? To what degree is the desire to protect a component?

*Many irons in the fire can be a good thing. Some of us are in the stream – yes! If you have been rockin’ and rollin’ for several months and now feel like you’ve lost your groove, take a look around. It is highly likely that a back-burner issue or two need your attention just now. All irons do not heat at the same rate and that’s a good thing.

*Don’t sell low and buy high. You’ve got to survive and you know why you keep going. If You honor your true value – no matter how that looks to anyone else – you are scoring in the only game that matters.

2018 Eclipse Season, Part II
The following dates mark pivotal moments for those with natal wheel points and placements within range of the given degree.

July 13th: 20 Cancer 41 (solar)
July 27th: 4 Aquarius 45 (lunar)
August 11th: 18 Leo 42 (solar)

While we now acknowledge that Uranus in Taurus is fully stocked up with wild cards and might slap one down on a seeming whim, we are still far from flying blind. We can investigate and study various domino-line trajectories in any natal or event wheel.

Subscribers are welcome to inquire if they have life sectors in range, free of charge. And please note: it is NOT all doom and gloom out there. There is so much going on everywhere besides what you see on TV or in your latest serving of click-bait headlines. Heed the call to witness.

New Moon: 24 Taurus 36

On the Exquisite Flavor of Water

A new moon can be a subtle event in a world full of electric light. Many people are truly unaware of the monthly alignment and that’s understandable. But not us…!

The descriptors for a new moon in Taurus cover materialism – the acquisition of which keeps us all head down at work  – and yet also the most primal five senses of sight, smell, touch, taste and sound. The preoccupations of the infant and toddler spin into the urges to keep up with our contemporaries. This is the zone of ‘Fixed’-‘Earth’ and is ruled by Venus, a magnetic yin archetype.

Our microcosm is fixed. Every day we pass through our abode, neighborhood, work space, etc and it cradles us, be that to the meager, middling or extravagant degree. It is what it is. We don’t spend energy dwelling upon it until something out of the ordinary occurs. But the annual new moon in Taurus offers a moment to pause and reflect on your material world requirements and how these factors set the daily activity regime for you and your intimate circle.

What would you alter in everyday life if you could and how would that affect your sense of sufficiency? Is there a path to compromise worth dedicating yourself to? Over the last decade, can you see evidence of how your income/expenditures have shifted? Many of us are grasping the difference between our wants and our needs.

What’s your favorite time of the day and why? Which of your senses are fulfilled during those moments? These days around the Taurean new moon, make peace with your space and possessions and the percentage of lack or wealth you designate to them. Consciously Revel in your sensory experiences in these days…

On the exquisite flavor of water, the feel of a hair brush, the hyper chattering of baby birds and the droning of bees. On the sights and sounds of your commute, the smells inside shops or the grocery store, the hum of motors keeping air, food and people in a controlled environment, the predictable cadence of tapped keys and one side of phone calls, the feel of your favorite chill-out seat.
Even better, revel in the company of (or in close proximity to) others: Venus is in Gemini. There’s a mini-break invitation here and for those who have been hard at work, She says, Rest while you can. Soon enough, the pace will quicken again.

Prelude to the Full Moon in Libra

Over the last 48 hours, the baseline buzz of Uranus, sometimes described as Agitation or Panic, has grown to a irksome pitch for those seeking validation/acceptance of their personal agenda. Many are beyond boredom and frustration with slo-mo pointless drama, with the plight of being square in a hive of rounded Others, with the inane workings of The System, a.k.a. the Established Powers that Be.
Venus in Aries can almost see and smell her beloved green pastures in Taurus but the route before her – squarely behind and within ‘enemy lines’ – demands that she first performs a bit of guerilla warfare. If you’ve been getting System messaging louder and clear that your current style or mode of relating/deal making has lost its charm, then this lead-up post for the full moon in Libra is for you. No harm, no foul (yet), just No Go from here on.

Augmented Intelligence
In other words, if you really want to win you’ve got to get some emotional distance on the matter and that’s not easy – but it is possible. You’ve got to return to your proverbial center and expect to magnetise a brilliant result. Enter Uranus in modified regalia as cool, detached Genius Download in long-term, progressive service to Self. This may come from you/ ‘your side’ or from the System wherein you may least expect it.

(For me, the solution’s first step came from recognising a particular characteristic inherent in an archaic opposing system was a big weakness…nanoseconds later, I was grasping that I could capitalise on it. Once I saw this chink in the armor, my plan simply became obvious and even exhilarating to me…ha! I must still walk through a trying experience with a fickle Goliath but now I am channeling the tools available. I’m up for this. Agitation immediately drops to minimal/nil. Whew! )

Weather-Proof
You should always expect your astrologer to provide at least two supporting phenomena for their storyline recommendation.
1. Mars rules the space that Venus now travels through and is wholly under the authority of Saturn, the disciplinarian and the king of emotional containment.
2. Jupiter in Scorpio is novile the full moon and sextile Pluto. In English, this means: expect your genius solution to be found in going deeper in analysis of your particular validation struggle. Really examine the strings and pulleys between you and your in-law/contractor/employer/social network/parent/child/ health care provider. Let Pluto work FOR you; amp up your X-ray vision and drop your preconceived notions.

Cancerian Concerns
The upcoming full moon in Libra at 10’44 creates the shape of a cross ( ‘+’) in the astrology wheel. The sun occupies 10’44 of Aries, Saturn and Mars occupy 8’ of Capricorn, the moon is shining in Libra and this leaves the outlet for energy surplus/overload directly into 5’to 15’ of Cancer. This means that our response/s to Life’s revelations and completions occurring around March 31st will most likely have some Cancerian element to them.
You might decide to turn off your phone and maintain sofa status or take a long bath and go to bed. You might decide to visit family or a close long-time friend for a hearty meal – or cook for them. That’s fine as long as you don’t find yourself still sipping and nibbling into the wee hours. That’s fine as long as you don’t think you can come for comfort, but then a couple hours later start criticizing some pet ‘fault’ you see in them. That’s fine as long as you don’t seek to manipulate them into giving you further assistance.

Cancer can receive and handle your stress – gladly! – but you can be sure that beneath appearances, it’s not effortless. Respect that in yourself as caretaker and in those who nurture you. Remember that the people and places that represent sanctuary for you deserve your finest possible companionship and maintenance. After all, when the dust settles…who and what else matters?
