The next two weeks, emblematic of the Wisdom coming forth for the world in the next year, puts us all at a “saying goodbye, saying hello” turning point. This is a time of expansion, vision, reorientation, enthusiasm, and reviewing our expectancies so any internal opposition we may have can be resolved so they don’t prevent us from fulfilling our purpose. Destiny is on the move, and Nature is our teacher.
The First High Moon of Spring offered us new freedom and a larger life and purpose. This renewed and revitalized the Northern Hemisphere in preparation for the Full Moon in Taurus/Scorpio, also known as the Wesak Festival, where the “Buddha Wisdom” came forth which will be distributed to the world at this Full Moon, known as “the Christfest.”
Remember we still have a lot shutting down due to past Solar Eclipses at 16 Capricorn, 21 Cancer and 19 Leo. These are helping us get organized, question what success really means, and let go of old “social rigidities” to be 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 happened (including the recent one at 1 Leo/Aquarius!) 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 many oppositions between Gemini and Sagittarius and Cancer and Capricorn. Add the Jupiter square Neptune and sesquisquare Uranus, and we again have three points in a “Great Octile,” in play via the Rhombus Diamond energy anchored by Uranus and Neptune.
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.
Besides the aspects mentioned above, major inner planet aspects in play involve the Moon triseptile Mercury and Mars, pentelftile Venus, binovile Neptune, and quindecile Pluto; Mercury is novile Venus, quindecile the Sun, conjunct Mars, quincunx Jupiter, opposition Saturn, trine Neptune, and opposed Pluto; Venus is novile Mars, opposed Juipter biquintile Saturn, decile Uranus, and binovile Neptune; and the Sun is quindecile Mars, septile Uranus, trielftile Neptune, and triseptile Pluto.
Outer planet forming and partile separating aspects include Mars opposition Saturn, trine Neptune, and opposed Pluto; Jupiter is semisextile Saturn, sesquisquare Uranus, square Neptune, and decile Pluto; Saturn is tredecile Uranus and sextile Neptune, in a “frustrated conjunction” with Pluto; Uranus is semisquare Neptune and biseptile Pluto; and Pluto is in an off-again, on-again quintile with Chiron. Obviously the aspects made from Jupiter out are long term influences.
In this chart, we are moving through an intense period of oppositions for the first time in many months. Again, this has SIX forming oppositions with Venus opposed Jupiter, Sun opposed the Moon, and Mercury and Mars opposed Saturn and Pluto. This makes the main “Tension of Opposites” specific to the second and third decans of Gemini/Sag and Cancer/Capricorn. Wherever oppositions happen in your chart will give you many realizations about natural roles to play with others who share your energies. You’re preparing for a larger life and purpose involving accelerated growth, having fun playing the roles you’re born to play, and anticipating powers to be used in a form of “planned group behavior.”
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.
Now that the very powerful Uranus biseptile Pluto is coming back into orb, it signals that how we handled the now separating Saturn biseptile Uranus will determine which “awakenings” will occur in our lives, since Saturn gave us the structure for the unique beginning Uranus always signifies. The biseptile is an irrational aspect of the 7th harmonic series. Saturn gave us the beginnings of the structure which will now be infused with Uranian awakenings, which in turn will affect the group activity to come when Saturn again biseptiles Uranus this December.
The biseptile between Saturn, the planet of “Spiritual Mastery and Spiritual Friendship” and Uranus, the planet symbolizing the Divine Revolutionary who follows their own path to their Higher Destiny, set the stage for the now active Uranus biseptile Pluto from the same sectors in the zodiac. This will dominate the landscape for a long time to come, so expect some major choices and changes which will help you shape your destiny and live your higher purpose. I have termed the evolutionary pattern created by the biseptile “the Grand Irrationality V.2”, and it most affects planets and points near 22-26 Capricorn, 13-17 Pisces, 4-8 Taurus, 26-30 Gemini, 18-22 Leo, 9-13 Libra, and 1-5 Sagittarius.
Now that Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto have all gone SRX, it indicates recent weeks are a threshold and we are now looking back, retracing steps, relearning lessons, and preparing for forward movement in these planetary areas of our lives later this year. We now sprout the seeds to “transcendent security,” remember a deep wisdom by feeling Neptune’s subtle signals, and Uranus encourages us to awaken to the value of universal things, preparing to let go of all that would obstruct a new quality of life coming to us all this Summer, rendering many old things obsolete. We will “return to Source” and draw power and vision from ancient standards. Show strong Love!
Even though Uranus is now in Taurus, what we substantiate and confirm in coming years is directed related to what we learned when Uranus was in late Aries in Summer 2016 through early 2019. We now know what corner of the universe we’re supposed to be in, and are clear about our part to sing in “the Cosmic Choir.” The coming period is one of 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 quite a few spiritual aspects in play among the traditional planets at this Full Moon. Of the series related to destiny and “fate,” we still have an extraordinary number, including 1 septile, 1 biseptile, and 3 triseptiles. Other spiritual aspects this month show 2 noviles and 2 binoviles, along with 1 trielftile and 1 pentelftile, but also an higher number of specializing aspects than usual, including 3 quindeciles, 2 deciles, 1 tredecile, and 1 biquintile.
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 have now returned to a balanced element distribution. Of the traditional 10 planets, there are 2 planets in Fire signs, 3 in Water, 3 in Earth, and 2 in Air. This shows a very good balance with a slight emphasis on Earth (Practicality and Grounding) and Water (Feelings and Experiencing Life on Deep Levels), with the a lesser degree of Fire (Inspiration and Light) and Air (Relatedness and Communications).
Air and Earth are “cool” elements, while Fire and Water are “hot” elements. With this distribution, things are very balanced between cool and hot. Still, because there is still an emphasis of Earth and Water, this combo makes either mud or bricks, depending on how you work with the material. So while some will find a sensitivity as they organize things so they further an “enlightened self-interest,” others will find themselves “stuck in the mud” of defensive calculations.
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. This Lunation continues the current 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. 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.
So 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.
Saturn: Spiritual Master, Spiritual Friend
Because Saturn is in its home sign of Capricorn, it is the final dispositor of all planets transiting Capricorn and Aquarius from now through 2023. We are past the dominant “co-equal rulerships” between Jupiter and Saturn, since the yearly transits from Sag to Pisces are now pretty much over. Still, even as standalone influences they exert a powerful influence on all affairs ruled by either of them.
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. Everything governed by Mars and Jupiter ultimately had Saturn as the background to what was happening!
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.
This Full Moon finds “the Light of Saturn” front and center due to the aspects in play! With the Mercury and Mars partile separating opposed Saturn, Venus biquintile Saturn, Saturn tredecile Uranus and sextile Neptune, Saturn is preparing us for a “role of destiny” later this year and next. We’re still rehearsing new roles for the future as part of the Saturn-Uranus “dance of individualization” in our lives and this month we must rise to some occasion and take on duties that will accelerate our growth.
I explain how these two awaken us to our Higher Powers to take conscious command of our destiny in my book 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.
It 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. You will understand how to throw off all the attitudes and memories which have held you back from finding and living the life and purpose. Through your journey of self-discovery, you can find ways to live your life on your own terms, and fulfill your purpose for being alive as an Eternal having human experiences!
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 help us discover a new dedication, a new commitment, a new way of reorienting to get free of “polluted conditions,” and open the door to new vistas of development. Lots of polarization and opposition continue to bring opportunities for higher awareness if we can transcend the conflicts represented by those oppositions. Think larger, bigger, and more abundantly, cultivate your spiritual rapport with others, don’t be too narrow in how your interpret things, and if you’re out on a limb, back down and be content with what you’ve accomplished.
This opens a new wisdom for the rest of the year. We are renewing through surrendering, seeking a transcendent security and finding rewards for our courage, and catching whispers of great Wisdom when we can listen to the inner voice. We are burying the past, building some bridges, and preparing for a new quality of Being rendering the old patterns obsolete. Find the essential knowledge you need, and you could perform beyond any expectation you may have had!
The World Teaching to be spread at this World Teacher Global Wisdom Full Moon will lead many to find a cause or a mission, or become a “standard bearer” of some sort. Extraordinary things are promised to those who use this year to train for group work, practice using power in skillful ways, and are able to “think in the future,” which will arrive by 2020! For now, take the power, compassion, and patience you’ve been cultivating in the near past and turn it to an enthusiastic embrace of better expectations and a more positive view of what you could do if your growth were accelerated, which it is!
We are still finishing humanity’s “liberating ordeal,” when we can use the inner strengths and powers we tapped in past months, and can find assistance from Devas and Angels who bring “divine help when human efforts seem to fail.” Again, learn the power of forgiveness to create 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!
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.
Two Meditations
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.
*********
The next meditation is a universal prayer offered to us by the Tibetan Master D.K. many years ago. I used to say it every day, and still say it every Full Moon. In 1976 I changed a few words to make it more universal. For your consideration, on this Christfest Full Moon,
The Great Invocation
From the point of Light within the mind of God
Let Light stream forth into the minds of All,
Let Light descend on EarthFrom the point of Love within the heart of God
Let Love stream forth into the hearts of All
May Christ return to EarthFrom the center where the Will of God is known
Let Purpose guide the little Wills of All
The Purpose which the Masters know and serveFrom the center which we call the Human Race
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.
Again, as I’ve offered you many times before, when you see the title "The Christ" if you are so inclined please substitute "World Teacher," "Bodhisattva," "Imam Madhi," "Krishna," “Kristos,” "Avalokiteshvara," "Maitreya," "Messiah," or any other term used to describe this Great Being. And if you substitute “Enlightened Ones” or “Wise Ones” for “Masters” I doubt it would offend anyone.
