For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. Nelson Mandela
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The first of 2 Aquarius Full Moon's arrives on July 22 at 8:16 am HST, 11:16 am PDT, 6:16 pm UTC and on the 23rd for Bangladesh east to the International Date Line. This Full Moon coincides with the Sun moving into its ruling sign Leo on the same day. This is a powerful lunar cycle to reflect on how you radiate you persona to others, and socially interact with your fellow humans. And Uranus/Pluto continue to apply pressure to day-to-day life (more below).
This particular lunation has a strong dynamic theme around freedom, a favorite Aquarian vibration. As you may realize, freedom is becoming a challenged concept in many places in the world. This decline points to the Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) in difficult aspect with Pluto thru 2015.
Over the next 2 weeks, the energy is ripe for you to explore "what freedom means to you in your life" and "what are you willing to do to ensure its continuation". Please leave a comment at the end of this update about your how you are experiencing the current intense planetary cycles.
A 2nd Aquarius Full Moon takes place on August 20th (not a Blue Moon). This 2nd full lunation in Aquarius marks a return to a more natural lunation energy. Here, the New Moon on August 6 once again precedes the Full Moon in a related sign. That ought to feel more connected and
grounded when relating to the Moon's cycles.
To best exemplify all things Aquarius, I have put together a video with Kathryn's assistance, celebrating the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins here in Hawaii. Our cetacean friends reflect to us the Aquarian ideals of social harmony and interconnection, freedom, and the essence of spirit energy.
This video is comprised of clips I have taken of the spinner dolphins (called Nai'a in Hawaii) during various ocean adventures on Big Island over the past few months. Enjoy and please share with others! Being in the presence of dolphins, whether in the water or even watching them from afar instills a sense of peace and heart-felt connection. We need more of that energy in this world.
Here's the Full Moon chart:
In our last update, we included a video covering the events of late July into early August. In summary and of particular import over the next 2 weeks and into August, these cycles say "pay attention". They include:
#1: Mars and Jupiter have begun moving together in the sign of Cancer for a short time (thru August 3). Mars brings active energy wherever it's found; Jupiter expands that energy. In the sign of Cancer there is a desire to create a more nurturing world on a personal, social and generational level. On this Full Moon day, Mars and Jupiter form an important part of the on-going Grand Water Trine described in our last update.
And soon this duo will become a strong part of the current Uranus square Pluto dynamics. Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto are all in Cardinal signs, or the 1st sign of each season. This combined aspect of these 4 planetary energies happens very rarely. I looked back to 1500 and could not find such an occurrence. Suffice it to say this is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Given Mars' intensity and Jupiter's expansiveness, these 2 add quite a bit of mojo to the existing intensity of Uranus and Pluto. Mars will be part of this dynamic through August 10, while slower Jupiter will be in aspect through the Equinox in later September. The potential for intensity around the globe on the physical, social and emotional levels is quite high. Yet, the script is being written on the fly. The prime directive has gone out and we are all here to experience and effect a paradigm shift.
On July 29th, a potent geometry is created when the Moon moves into the sensuous sign of Taurus. Some see this geometry as a beneficial energy. Given what I shared above, this geometry is not easy. Rather it is quite challenging. Best strategy is to exercise, reset and rest. Here's what the chart looks like.
Note there are 4 circled areas on the chart where an intense T-square, including Uranus/Pluto is activated. Again, exercise, reset and rest. I will cover the dynamics of this geometry in our next update.
#2: Mercury is now moving direct having completed its current retrograde on July 19th. This has been a very slow moving retrograde, with many unusual stories in the news involving all things Mercury, such as information, transportation and communication accidents and snafus. I have heard many tales of woe, including "when is it over???". Yet, Mercury Retrograde is quite a beneficial time when you move with the spontaneous moment, pay attention to what feels easy and what is not easy, and allow your creativity to expand.
Mercury will leave its retrograde shadow on August 3rd. Usually in this last phase there is a reenactment of certain events that occurred during the retrograde. Hence, be alert and move with clarity.
Conclusion: as mentioned above, the next two weeks may prove intense. Pay attention to the weather in your locality, and space weather forecast for solar activity. Enmesh yourself in a creative project. Take time to regenerate, and avoid the fear based noise that comes from commercial television news shows. Host or attend an uplifting social gathering, such as a concert or recital.
We now enter the most significant part of 2013. This energy culminates in the Autumn. Our next update will focus on more specifics of the evolving energy based on world events occurring in the next two weeks. In all respects, offer gratitude for the freedom you now enjoy. Someday, the entire world will join you in celebration. Sat Nam.

Thank you so much for sending me this. My birthday is July 27th. Perhaps there will be some positive changes.

A Grand Sextile with Grand Trines in Water and Earth! Wow, a rare event indeed! I am one who sees this geometry as super beneficial if you apply yourself and push open the greased doors of opportunity as it appears in your chart. These doors are not just lubed, they're super greased! I say go for it all!
ReplyDeleteSO much Astro-impactive stuff flying right now - I can't get over what's hit me just this past Mercury Retro. During that period, found I had lost everything of value to me - fallen victim to an unscrupulous Financial Advisor - my Savings/Security, now gone forever. Blindsided. I have 'Aquarius' in my Chart (Moon/Venus) & I can only stay on the positive, focused on my high VALUE on freedom & what it takes to keep it going. This has been a difficult transition, but I try to maintain a 'Glass Half Full' outlook on life. This one comes with more than it's share of dedication to that wisdom..
ReplyDeleteWith the grand trine placement throughout my life time I have been feeling extremely exhausted for no apparent reason and yet I am taking the time to listen to my physical body and rest as much as I can. Hoping I will be feeling some energy soon.
