The next two weeks indicates a lot of productivity, high specialization and unexpected gifts amidst the general multi-level friction. We will say goodbye to many things, redeem many things, and can understand the place and function of every detail. Be honest. What are you responsible for, and what are you not responsible for? Negotiate, since this is an end game rallying to a group potential.
This Full Moon will help us move into a vaster feeling space with renewal at every turn of the river. When in doubt imitate, and when unclear, meditate or at least get off into a sacred space where you can receive a new inspiration by contacting the collective field in which we all live, breathe, and have our Being.
We’ve been flooded with higher energies, higher visions, and a greater sense of our group work the past several weeks. We’ve begun to say goodbye to a lot of things which no longer require our management skills. We are preparing for a different level of “planned group activity,” and the next two weeks quickens the pace by challenging us to rise to an occasion that may seem premature, but which we are ready for nonetheless.
With the continuance of powerful Sagittarius and Capricorn energies in play these next 2 weeks, get clear about the priority of what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. Be flexible, positive, have a sense of humor and responsibility, and remember to have a sense of humor about all of it!
Remember we have a lot shutting down due to past Solar Eclipses at 16 Capricorn, 21 Cancer and 19 Leo, helping us get organized, “put on the show” and let go of old “social rigidities” so we can become happier.
Those Solar Eclipses, along with other ones still in play, are allowing us to “shed skins” wherever we have 9, 19, and 30 Pisces, 28 Aquarius, along with 29 Leo, 10 Virgo, and 21 Virgo. As you can see, that involves a large part of our charts! Add various Lunar Eclipses in play for several months after they happen, and you can see areas where we’ve been eliminating things we no longer need. All our losses associated with these signs have left voids which will attract life contents more appropriate to who we are now.
Major Aspects and Configurations
We have a very mixed bag of aspects in play at this Full Moon, with two significant frictional configuration as well as the productivity and specializing configurations already mentioned. Over the next two weeks, be alert to unique interactions that will be beneficial for the most part, and magically serendipitous at times. I’ve explained some of the frictional configurations related to the Rhombus Diamond in action at this Lunation in earlier parts of this series. As usual, there are some barely separating partile aspects, indicating a lot has been going on in the immediate past and NOW.
The major inner planet aspects in play involve the Moon sesquisquare Venus, trine Mars, tredecile Jupiter, sesquisquare Saturn, and trine Uranus (out of sign); Mercury is sextile Venus, semisquare Mars, square Jupiter, sextile Saturn, conjunct Neptune, and sextile Pluto; Venus is semisextile Jupiter, conjunct Saturn (through collection of Light), biseptile Uranus, and conjunct Pluto; and the Sun is sextile Mars, quintile Jupiter, semisquare Saturn, sextile Uranus, and novile Pluto.
Outer planet forming and partile separating aspects include Mars sesquisquare Jupiiter, tredecile Saturn, and biseptile Pluto; Jupiter is semisextile Pluto; Saturn is biseptile Uranus, sextile Neptune and in a wide forming conjunction by sign with Pluto (which will be “frustrated by refranation” until 2020; and Uranus is semisquare Neptune and trielftile Pluto. Obviously the aspects made from Jupiter out are long term influences.
In this chart, we’re back to two forming oppositions, that of the Lunation and Sun opposed TransPluto. This makes “the Tension of Opposites” specific to early Pisces and early Virgo. Wherever these occur in your chart is sure to provide many realizations related to Divine Discernment, compassion, forgiveness, the need for closure, and the possibility of forms of practical redemption for those willing to adjust to a greater sense of service.
All oppositions provide us an opportunity for genuine spiritual breakthroughs through the need to resolve and transcend “the Tension of Opposites.” Where oppositions fall, the signs they’re in and the houses ruled by the planets in opposition are subject to profound tensional awareness, leading to realizations and healthy polarizations in many areas of our lives. The task is always to find the appropriate third and fourth energies and approaches to achieve healthy productive movement with maximum awareness.
This month, the oppositional awareness is stressed through the Moon sesquisquare Saturn and the Sun semisquare Saturn creating major friction related to us taking responsibility or being honest and letting go of old responsibilities which are no longer useful for our spiritual evolution. This will generate activity in the middle decan of Cancer, showing the problem and the solution. Look at it all as an exercise in personality integration via growth and allowing new blood into our lives.
However, this larger tension can be relieved through Mars, since it creates a sextile and trine to the Lunation, creating a very favorable and productive void in early Scorpio. Add that Jupiter makes a quintile and tredecile with the Lights, indicating an opening up of very favorable energy in mid-Gemini. Highly unique circumstances and gifts are shown by this configuration, so enjoy the special things that come!
Besides these dynamic configurations, this Lunation also shows Mercury semisquare Mars and square Jupiter, with Mars sesquisquare Jupiter. This offers us more friction, this time in areas around 2-6 Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius, as well as 17-21 Gemini, Virgo, Sag, and Pisces. If you have a planet or point in these areas, open to renewal, watch out for exaggerated claims or unclear assertions, and you could find your “pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.” Just realize that will mean you have to bury the past to open the door to a life renewal.
Besides harmonizing the Lunation and a point of contact generation friction with Mercury and Jupiter, Mars also makes a powerful tredecile with Saturn and biseptile with Pluto! This makes Mars the go-between in the frictions of everyday interactions and the unique gifts and blessings promised by Saturn as Pluto precipitates major forks in the road of our destiny wherever it is!
Zones most affected by the Mars biseptile Pluto are 21-25 Capricorn, 12-16 Pisces, 3-7 Taurus, 25-29 Gemini, 17-21 Leo, 8-12 Libra, and 29 Scorpio-3 Sag. Zones most affected by Mars tredecile Saturn are 2-6 Taurus/Scorpio, 8-12 Gemini/Sag, 14-18 Cancer/Capricorn, 20-24 Leo/Aquarius, and 26-30 Virgo/Pisces. If you have anything in these latter 10 zones, serendipity is in the air! Expect very good fortune related to anything ruled by Mars or Saturn in your chart to play out in the houses where you have early Taurus and mid-Capricorn.
Even though the very powerful Uranus biseptile Pluto is not in orb right now, Saturn biseptile Uranus still brings forth the 7th harmonic irrationality between the planet of “Spiritual Mastery and Spiritual Friendship” and the planet symbolizing the Divine Revolutionary who follows their own path to their Higher Destiny. This anticipates the Grand Irrationality V.2 which will be back in focus by May. This Lunation moves the zones a little, affecting planets and points near 15-19 Capricorn, 7-11 Pisces, 29 Aries-3 Taurus, 20-24 Gemini, 11-15 Leo, 3-7 Libra, and 24-28 Scorpio.
Pluto introduces a powerful theme for the first time, that of receiving awards for our courage up to now, Neptune is showing us a new inspiration, and Uranus is now showing us our “duck pond” where we may work and play with other “ducklings.” While there may be a sense of restriction, there should also be some contentment and security in knowing what corner of the universe we’re supposed to be in, now that we know our part to sing in “the Cosmic Choir.” By Spring we’ll be back into major choices and changes on a global level related to these planets helping humanity’s metamorphosis. Those who learn how to use these dynamic invisible spiritual energies will become effective Spiritual units of Consciousness in the body of Humanity in the future.
There are relatively few spiritual aspects in play at this Full Moon. While we have the three powerful biseptiles, we have only 1 novile and 1 trielftile. We have a few very powerful specializing aspects to make this a very interesting time, represented by 1 quintile and 2 tredeciles.
For those new to the craft, quintiles and biquintiles are 5th harmonic aspects, septiles and triseptiles are 7th harmonic aspects, noviles are 9th harmonic aspects, deciles (semi-quintiles) and tredeciles are 10th harmonic aspects, the elftile series are 11th harmonic aspects, the quindecile is a 15th harmonic aspect, and the vigintile is a 20th harmonic aspect. Each of these has a unique function in the phase relationship of the two planets in aspect.
The 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th harmonic aspects are specializing and bring forth partially or fully developed quintessential elements of the planets involved. The 7th harmonic aspects help us make choices to fulfill our destiny, and the novile series aspects (9th harmonic) represent entry or exit points of periods of gestation which can bring forth possible spiritual developments. The 11th harmonic aspects involve situations where there is a need to transcend and master some form of duality by making a leap of faith.
The various aspects in all these different harmonic series indicate points where the theme of the Whole Cycle becomes clear, whether through major developments or minor refinements in the process. Each aspect shows a phase relationship, specific to the special and unique circumstances of that particular Whole Cycle. It's how we can know when to work, when to play, when to create, when to imagine, when to have faith, and when to mobilize!
If you want to know more about these aspects, when you’re done here please go to The Specializing Aspects Pt. 1 – Quintile, Tredecile, Decile, and Biquintile, The Specializing Aspects Pt. 2 – The Quindecile and Vigintile, and The Spiritual Aspect Series – The Novile, Septile, and Elftile Harmonic Aspects where you’ll find more about the meaning of these aspects and the glyphs associated with them. Also, remember that all of these set up harmonic resonance void points all over our charts.
Element Balance
We are now in a very skewed element distribution. Of the traditional 10 planets, there are 2 planets in Fire signs, 3 in Water, 5 in Earth, and none in Air. This gives an extreme emphasis on Earth (Practicality and Grounding) with slightly less Fire (Inspiration and Light) than Water (Feelings and Experiencing Life on Deep Levels). As there is no Air (Relatedness and Communications), we’ll have to find these qualities within us.
Air and Earth are “cool” elements, while Fire and Water are “hot” elements. With this distribution, things are a balanced between hot than cold. Still, with so much Water and Earth, the focus is on practical feeling-responses and fluid groundedness.
Uranus Square Pluto Is Over!
After the square of many years, we’ve now experienced these two planets in a fateful biseptile last year, which put the entire world in a very irrational energy field from May through November! The square was fully active from the Summer of 2010 through early 2017, after which Uranus pulled out of orb. However, even when separating, various transits continued to make a “mundane square” every time a planet transited between 21-30 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn.
We are now at the end of the end of this “off set” square energy, since Uranus is about to leave Aries. After that, Uranus and Pluto make no frictional aspect until Uranus in late Gemini sesquisquares Pluto in mid-Aquarius many years from now.
Looking back, Uranus in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn were volatile, “out of control” energies, occurring during the global collision of ideas between 2010-2017. From time to time, this square was activated and associated with the hard edge of the conflict between control systems and the forces of individualization that have been calling everyone to a greater spiritual individuality.
I’ve discussed Uranus square Pluto at length in many articles in the archives. Please use the site google box to find out more about this years’ long disruptive revolutionary influence. This square welcomed the 21st century to upheaval, transformation, and titanic collisions between a new world being born and an old age that’s digging in even as it’s dying.
That square represented the ongoing revolution of our times, with innovations and pioneering energies in conflict with restrictive and controlling power structures. It certainly introduced us all to a very “electric and eclectic” revolution unlike any seen since the 1960s, when these two powerhouses made numerous conjunctions in mid-Virgo!!
As we learned to master Uranus square Pluto, we saw the true causes of any social disorder, constructive versus destructive justifications and motives, and where mistrust and mischief-making originate. This allowed us greater power to deal with Pluto coercions and heavy-handed corrosive behavior. We now know how to use any tension between Uranus and Pluto in two big ways in the future, exercising good Pluto function to put the brakes on, or turn the corner on, negative Uranian manifestations, and good Uranus function to put the brakes on, or turn the corner on, negative Pluto manifestations.
Uranus is now moving through a span of degrees it hasn’t transited since 1934-1936. Given what was happening then and the parallels to what’s going on now, stay alert to those who are impatient or petulant in wanting to change things in a hurry, as well as those who are willing to wage ideological war against others. We redeemed many promises in 2018, but also learned that using blunt force to push will destroy the good that could come.
Over the past few years, Pluto has taught us how to show care, release old inhibitions, and quicken to some needed task. We’ve done our dress rehearsals within forms of “group performance,” and last year surrendered with dignity in some way that gave us a spiritual victory. These have led to deep transformations in our lives.
This one again puts the focus on rising to some occasion even if we don’t feel up to it, with the added seeds of rewards for courage on the way! Keep purifying yourself in every way, since the less sludge we carry forward the lighter and freer we’ll feel.
The current sequence at present of Deciding, Feeling, and Thinking
We’ve been through several different sequences over the past few months. There are six patterns, and each has their strengths and weaknesses. We are now in a time of shifting patterns, and this Lunation continues the New Moon pattern. As a process of moving through events, the most effective “firing sequence” for approaching life and experience over the next 4 weeks involves leading with our feelings, then deciding, then thinking.
This pattern leads with feelings, and then makes decisions and acts based in those feelings. This pattern leads with its instincts, and then seeks facts and actions to confirm or deny those feeling impressions. While it is tempting to move back into more feeling after the actions, after we make our decisions and/or act, it will be important to get new information to come to a new vision or understanding. Once we get the right view or understanding, then a new feeling-experience will naturally arise that points the way to the next action.
When you are moved by a feeling or experience, it will naturally lead to decisions on the basis of those feeling experiences, which should be followed by a search for new information, new ideas, new interpretations, and new views. We’ll be “feeling our way” into new experiences, then deciding and acting on the basis of those feelings. After a decision or action, then we’ll have to find newer, more up to date information, facts, and understanding so we can get a new vision.
So learn and teach through anecdotes, seeing how others handled things practically, or how you handed things practically in the past. Let your thinking and communicating and envisioning follow your actions, and let your feelings follow a new understanding, a new perception, or a new view.
Go with the flow while opening to deep and vast feeling experiences, since these will lead you to know what decisions and actions to take. When you’ve done what you needed to do, then allow yourself to see a new vision, or a new understanding. When you come to that clear vision or understanding, then the next feeling will naturally arise, showing you the next action to take.
Saturn: Spiritual Master, Spiritual Friend
Because Saturn is in its home sign of Capricorn for the first time since 1991, it is the final dispositor of all planets transiting Capricorn and Aquarius from now through 2023. We are now in a year of “co-equal rulerships” between Jupiter and Saturn, since Jupiter now disposits all planets which transit through Sag and Pisces, while Saturn continues to disposit all planets which transit through Capricorn and Aquarius. Because Mars was in a Saturn-ruled sign from March 17 through November 15, 2018, Saturn was a very powerful influence on all Mars-related events of that time, which of course meant Saturn was the backdrop to Jupiter in Scorpio for that entire time.
2017 and 2018 were an extraordinary period, due to Saturn trine Uranus dominating most of those years. Their 2017 Fire trines stabilized Electric Fire and distributive “Fire by Friction,” which led naturally to the 2018 Earth trine helping us ground our efforts in practical ways. These helped us blend the past and future, the established with the innovative, and make the structure of our lives unique.
Now Saturn is in a powerful biseptile with Uranus, structuring many of the Plutonic “seeds of destiny” planted in 2018 during Uranus’ biseptile to Pluto. This is putting pressure on everyone to reshape their sense of purpose or duty related to awakening to their part to sing in the Cosmic Choir, and the next important phase in the Saturn-Uranus “dance of individualization” in our lives.
I explain the dance between Saturn and Uranus which awakens us to our power to shape our destiny in conscious individualized ways in Saturn: Spiritual Master, Spiritual Friend. Saturn helps us give form and structure to our quest for Self-realization, and in Capricorn, teaches us how to construct an “organized personal structure” to the Uranian energies making our spiritual life come alive.
The book was written for both astrologers and non-astrologers. Even those with little or no understanding of astrology will benefit from understanding why you had to make certain choices at crucial times that shaped your life in profound ways. Each time you read any section of this book you will find new insights about your power to steer your personal evolution. Over time you will throw off attitudes and memories which have held you back from finding and living your “Truth of Being” on your own terms, and fulfill your purpose for being alive!
If you’ve haven’t already gotten your copy, you can go to the Saturn: Spiritual Master, Spiritual Friend. page on Amazon and this should be all you need to order your copy. It’s also available on Amazon and as an ebook on Kindle, so if that’s more to your liking, go for it! If you would, whether you’ve gotten the ebook or the paperback, please write a review on the Amazon site, since the more reviews, the more of a boost they give it.
Summing it Up
This Full Moon will open us to a vaster feeling-experience within the collective field, with enough friction to get us moving and enough harmony to ensure that those who effort will be rewarded, sooner or later. Gifts abound for those who are honest with themselves and willing to take on appropriate group responsibilities.
If you don’t feel like you know what you’re doing, imitate those who seem to know what they’re doing. Rise to the occasions you’re called to be involved in, learn good negotiation skills, see the place and function of each part of the whole, and see yourselves as pioneers in a new land called to do what you do best!
We’re moving in radical new directions this year, with abundant opportunities to forge a deeper connection with the Eternal. We are fully launched into living a greater freedom and a greater understanding, with signs and symbols showing us what’s to come. This Lunation sprouts the seeds of an unknown future which will yield a harvest in 2020.
Between all the squares, semisquares, and sesquisquares, there may be a LOT of friction going on, but remember it takes making sparks to create a fire, and there’s a lot that needs lighting up right now. The past is now over, and we no longer are attracted to things we were even a few months ago. These voids have created the space for new life contents to come forth.”
We’re now well into the next phase in a cycle of deep transformation which began at the January 2018 Mars conjunct Jupiter, with tremendous boosts last May and September. Our lives have been enriched through allowing inspiring experiences to transform our everyday lives. We began this self-discipline in 2014, and have been proving our willingness to act on our truths between early 2016 and early 2018. Jupiter took what we’ve structured through our actional intention and blew some door down in 2018. Now what was bound can expand into wider and higher vistas, truths, and potentials.
Again, this is a time when inner strengths and powers can be tapped, and can find assistance from Devas and Angels who bring “divine help when human efforts seem to fail.” Forgive much, and you’ll create the space for Grace to enter your Life. When new adventures beckon, embrace them with warmth, since you might find Spiritual Brothers and Sisters from past lives along the way!
As I reminded you earlier, we are still within the effects of Eclipses from the past. These are shutting down major things wherever they fell. Jupiter has now finished a year of expanding our opportunities based in the voids created by the Eclipses in Scorpio, and is now expanding opportunities left by the voids of past Eclipses in Gemini and Sag. We’ve had a year of eliminating all that would hold us back, and as the Eclipses continue to remove some people and considerations from our lives, it will create space to “join together with the band!”
The past two years have led us all to blend the old with the new, the traditional with the innovative, throwing us into an adventure in higher awareness where we can demonstrate confidence and heart strength. We now are living a new identity, a new love, a new spiritual awareness, and a new spiritual expression in grounded ways, so keep your mind and heart open and keep coordinating your body, feelings, and mind to demonstrate a stable and harmonized Soul energy.
Because life seems to be a never-ending experience of out-breathing elements of the past and in-breathing elements of the new, it is useful to remember that when we are moving through major changes, and something new is introduced into our lives, it means that something else must leave, or has already left, to provide space for the new to be embraced. And lesser wisdom must give way to greater wisdom, and old forms give way to newer realities.
While sometimes having to say goodbye to older, lesser ways of life can be a drag, it is important to remember that even though life can occasionally be painful, we do not have to suffer. And as we learn to break the link between pain and suffering, we heal our part of humanity and the world.
For your contemplation, a final meditation I offer each month at the end of our Full Moon journey of exploration.
We are Light. All things are composed of Light in various frequencies that express as limitless forms. Some light frequencies are of greater density than others.
All shadows result from light hitting a dense object. Psychological shadows too. Therefore, it’s good to become as translucent and translucid as possible to dispel lurking shadows.
If you must look at and/or deal with shadows, whether your own or another’s, then refocus your Light on the object being illuminated, since that form is the source of the shadow.
Find the correct 4 angles of illuminating whatever you want to focus on, and all shadows will be dispelled. Then you’re seeing things with an illuminated mind, and can act accordingly.

Wow! Loads of activity, friction, opportunities and new fields for growth seem to be in front for so many.
Thank you for the information. Great one as usual.
Blessings be to all.
