Wowee! This Aries full moon is pretty intense for me! It also coincides with the Autumn Equinox. How are all of you feeling? Vibrations are strong! I had to go investigate what was happening astrologically speaking. Here is a great piece I found explaining everything happening in the skies! Interesting to see what comes from this...
Equinox and Aries Full Moon September 23, 2010
written by Cathy Lynn Pagano, OpEdNews
Venus and Mars are both Argentine tango-ing through Scorpio, sending out dark and dangerous signals to potential mates, friends and foes, while preparing for Venus' retrograde starting October 8th. Time to figure out the difference between what we need to grow our lives and what we desire in our lives. They're two different things, as a very wise goddess sister said this weekend. With Venus retrograding back into late Libra, we still haven't sorted out our hearts' desire. Don't hurry it. Everything comes in its own time.
The full Moon at 1* Aries, conjunct both Jupiter and Uranus in Pisces is being nurtured by the collective vision of compassion as well as the individual experience of living in a multi-dimensional world. The Sabian symbol for 1*Aries is: A woman just risen from the sea. A seal is embracing her. Here is the new potential to be conscious, arising out of the ocean of the Collective Unconscious (Pisces). It's a potential of selfhood and individuality. It is a woman and so the image speaks of a new feeling life that is true to our original nature. That is the seal that comes up out of the waters with her. Our original nature is both comfortable on land and in water, since we develop in our mother's watery womb. The seal reminds us to stay open to the unconscious, to our feelings and to the creative imagination and to the magic of life. If we do, we will stay true to ourselves.
The Sun at 1* Libra is conjunct Saturn, inspiring us to take responsibility for making the balance between Self and other, and justice and self-worth conscious. The Sun and Saturn wants us to get serious about our purpose in life, while the Moon might enchant us to journey to other dimensions and indulge in some fantasy. Try to find the balance between doing both. You need both attitudes right now to become aware of your next step.
The Sabian symbol for 1* Libra is: In a collection of perfect specimens of many biological forms, a butterfly displays the beauty of its wings, its body impaled by a fine dart. Here we see the exact opposite of the image for the Moon. Life is no longer alive, but looked at as an archetypal reality. And yet it also reminds us of an emergence. The butterfly symbolizes the process of transformation and shape-shifting. It calls us to remember that change is constant and yet not chaotic. There is a process involved. The dart that impales the body of the butterfly keeps it in its perfect form so we can see and understand its final form before death. It also implies a sacrifice of some kind and in Libra we do learn to sacrifice our own desires to meet the needs of others, which are ultimately our own needs. As autumn takes center stage, we begin to understand that we have to work together to bring in the harvest and make plans for everyone's needs during the harsh winter months.
This symbol invites us to become the archetypal truth of the new beginning the woman makes. It calls us to perfect who we are.
Pluto in Capricorn, along with the North Node, squares or challenges both the Sun and Moon. Whatever we feel, think or are inspired to become, we have to let our old perceptions of life die so something new can be born. When we embark on a new journey, we need to let go of our old crutches. Patriarchy is an old crutch we really don't need anymore. We no longer need our "fathers' to decide for us. It is time to build a culture and a world where it is the mature couple, the soul partners, who create a culture that fulfills our need for "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.' It is the archetypal male and female who must set the new agenda.
The fact that this full Moon energizes the Autumn Equinox will keep the energies of balance with us through at least September 30th, when the Sun conjuncts Saturn at 8* Libra. The Sabian symbol for 8*Libra is: A fireplace blazes mysteriously in a deserted farmhouse. This is a symbol of hope, of the fires of life that are still with us even when we feel life has deserted us.
While we are called to live out our truth, we are also reminded that partnership is the next step for us. Once we learn how to live with ourselves, we are challenged to become great than ourselves by engaging in real partnership. Please accept the challenge and the rewards of these times. You'll be glad you did.
Bright Blessings as we turn the Wheel of the Year once again.
