Hey there!

This week our Transit Spotlight is on Friday’s Full Moon, which is going to be at 18-degrees Sagittarius. I actually wanted to introduce you all to the Sabian Symbols this week, because this happens to be one of my favorite. If you’re unfamiliar with Dane Rudhyar’s work, you should look these up. They are fantastic! The basic gist of this is in reading the text and envisioning what you do in your own mind for the interpretation. They’re based on degrees in the zodiac, and Rudhyar offered his own take on the Sabian Oracle. I think you’ll enjoy this and I hope you find it useful.

"Phase 258 (Sagittarius 18°): Children playing on the beach, their heads protected by sunbonnets.

Keynote: The protection society affords to as yet immature individuals as they begin to deal with the powerful energies of their unconscious nature.

What we call "culture" is an attempt to limit and define the areas of consciousness and interpersonal or group behavior within which growth and exploration into super-physical realms can be considered safe and sound. Sun and sea are powerful forces; they can kill as well as illumine and inspire, as can various kinds of forces within man's unconscious. The cultural and religious institutions of society aim to act as protective agencies, especially for the youth. Overprotection and hypocritical behavior by supposed grownups defeat this purpose, and today we are witnessing an at least partially healthy rebellion against the protective paternalism of social institutions. This, however, does lead to many a symbolic "sunstroke."

This is the third symbol in the fifty-second five-fold sequence. It brings to us a realization of the value of PROTECTIVENESS, yet also evokes the negative possibility that too much protection may be unhealthy and defeat its purpose.” -Dane Rudhyar

This is a powerful Full Moon which can be a challenging crossroads in both love and money. So, it’s going to be important that you work with these energies to help you let go of habits, mindsets or relationships that aren’t helping us to be happy and grow. We can also use this energy to connect in a much stronger way with our partners, friendships and get our financial ducks in a row. If you take a look at the past two weeks, you may recognize that you’re in a process, and this is going to be an important point in the cycle where you decide some next steps and take them. If you’re familiar with my theories about transmuting pain or even if you’re not, you can use the energy from this powerful lunation to help you continue your own process of healing those parts of you that are wounded and helping yourself get control of your finances.

Remember, you work with the Full Moon in big ways. It’s a turning point each month, and your chance each month to begin again. Have a new start. Because the Full Moon is always connected by being Sun opposite Moon, you’ll be able to see those areas of conflict in your life, determine those ego traps you’ve gotten caught up in and further obtain balance and discernment in a lot of ways. You need to take a step back and look back a couple of weeks. Take a peek at what was going on during that Gemini New Moon on the 25th.

If you remember, that particular chart had a very powerful influence alongside it with Venus square Pluto and that may have created a lot of tension in terms of your financial stability or in your close relationships. The running them going from that New Moon to this Full Moon then has likely involved a lot of control issues and jealousy or possibly, tense situations where we felt insecure and afraid in relation to both love and money.

Your emotions during a full moon, as well as your intuition, can often be heightened a bit. This can empower you to tackle those things you wish to change and take a much more direct look at your problems, particularly when it comes to those interpersonal issues you have with others. This is a time when yes, things may go awry, but if you can take a step back, you will be able to see what’s at play and take the first steps in correcting it, particularly if it involves patterns of behavior. Okay, so the kicker here, then, is to understand that we are moving away from that cycle and into the new one. The issues we saw emerge with that last New Moon can be worked on, and you can continue to work on things to some degree BUT, it’s also important to look at all of this as a process. Now, we’re moving into another cycle in which the impact of this Full Moon continues for the next couple of weeks. Another important thing to note is that next week when Neptune stations retrograde it will be within this particular lunation. I’ll talk more on that next week. In addition to this Full Moon, Jupiter will station direct that same day. So, some of the tensions you’ve been experiencing, some of the challenges may start to abate somewhat. The key here being inner growth and awareness are the key to utilizing a Jupiter retrograde cycle for your benefit. If you have been tackling those tougher issues in an honest way, you’ll likely see a much better time of it during this particular Full Moon cycle as well.

So, what IS the impact of this Full Moon exactly?

Before I go into this, remember, we have two very powerful configurations at play right now that have been going on for a few weeks: That North Node Grand Cross I mentioned before and Saturn trine Uranus. In the next two weeks- things may be tense but, they will also be important tipping points across the board. The transformations you undergo under these influences aren’t just going to be for nothing; they’re not just going to be “adding more crap to the already huge pile;” they’re working in your own life. Pay attention to the self-defeating or self-destructive patterns you may be holding onto at play.

Nearly the first thing I noticed and my eyes zeroed right in on is Pluto; more importantly, this tight tight TIGHT orb it has to the Moon. As I was looking, I also noted that Jupiter is quincunx Neptune. There is also a conjunct here with the Moon and Saturn. So, this is actually going to act as something of a subtle strength because those two smaller orbs may, in fact, bring challenges or conflicts that really have you questioning a lot. If you get hit with something like that this week: remember, there is no birth without pain. That is all this is: a transition that you can use to transform your life for the better. You might find that loyalties are tested and in some cases, people fail. You might also find that there are issues or concerns with your love life and finances, but in all of these things it is important to remember that you need to rise above those Lizard mind fears and insecurities, remain as calm and focused in your interactions as you can- and you can turn just about anything around. Most of the issues you will see may be culminations of existing tensions and resentments, and eventually, you knew this was going to happen and need dealing with. No time like the present.

In all honesty, if this sounds like doom and gloom, it really isn’t. All the stuff that’s been building up may simply come to a head this week so that you can finally put it to rest. Think about it like when you have to pull off a band-aid. Sure, you can sit there, freaking out a little and trying to slowly tug just makes things worse. Let ‘er rip, take care of it, whatever it may be, and finally be free of those burdens.

Have a great week!

ARIES

This week presents a few worries, Aries. You will get through them and be able to enjoy yourself once you get past them. Financial issues have been on your mind a lot lately. You may be trying to figure out how to make more money. This may lead to taking on more hours than you normally would or find other odd jobs to fill voids but ultimately, you’ll find the solutions you’ve been looking for and in the process, likely prevent new problems from arising.

Aries Affirmation this week: Resourcefulness is the key to finding the solutions I seek.

TAURUS

Take advantage of your smarts this week. You have a lot of experience, and some people may doubt you, Taurus, but they’re either just haters or people you have something to prove something to. Discern well and apply yourself accordingly. When this happens, it is time to step it up and show them what you are made of. Your success and your happiness are the two most important things to you right now. You are inherently hard working, which can lead to some easier times.

Taurus Affirmation this week: My priorities are revealed by the actions I take, and my focus shows what’s most important.

GEMINI

Fear nothing this week. You know what you want, and you know what you are supposed to do, Gemini. Now it’s time to get it. All of your strengths will be highlighted if you give yourself a chance. You just need to allow for yourself to truly shine and a little focus wouldn’t hurt you at all. Confidence will help get you even further, as will organizing everything in a much better way. You just need to know how to apply that enthusiasm to these things, and you will become nearly unstoppable.

Gemini Affirmation this week: Focus and organization are two ways to harness a powerful mind.

CANCER

Make more room in your life, Cancer. You may be caught up in work and other stuff, but there is something missing, and it may be time to think about what you truly need and how you can adapt in order to get that. You know where you have to go to get it in most cases, but sometimes it can be a little intimidating starting over. It is time to muster up the strength to be vulnerable to someone else if you haven’t been in a while. This will allow for growth and a wonderful move in the right direction.

Cancer Affirmation this week: Taking time to bring things back to the source is important.

LEO

There comes a point where you need to recognize that, in some things, you are the only one in your way, Leo. When you have your doubts, you need to push them out of the way. I often say this, but sometimes when you’re scared, you can’t wait for bravery. You have to do it scared but do it anyway. More often than not, it is just our minds playing tricks on us. If you have a lot on your mind, work on clearing that out as best as you can. You don’t need all of the extra baggage weighing you down.

Leo Affirmation this week: I don’t whimper, I roar.

VIRGO

This week will fluctuate for you, Virgo. Sometimes things may seem desperate, but don’t let it make you stray from your path. There are so many different reasons to balance the way you look at the negatives, not ignoring the problems, but focusing more on the solutions. Take the chance to really embrace adversity and get through everything with a positive mindset. It should make it a smoother entrance into whatever you’re going for.

Virgo Affirmation this week: I don’t have to sweat the small stuff to take care of it.

LIBRA

You may have been feeling a bit trapped or even bored. Make some moves and get it going, and start with those things mindsets that prevent you from making the choices you need to. You will find that in most things, actively taking the steps you need to brings about a sense of relief that will bring more confidence to tackle the changes you’d like to see. Getting out of the trap or shaking things up starts with you, Libra.

Libra Affirmation this week: That first step’s always a doozy, but once it’s done, I’m moving forward.

SCORPIO

You may feel nervous this week, Scorpio. There are a few things that you have been working hard for. You don’t have to let fears interfere with how you make your moves. You just need to go for it, particularly if it’s something that you have been practicing for a long time and know you can truly shine with. You are destined for greatness, and you shouldn’t forget that.

Scorpio Affirmation this week: I won’t allow fear of rejection to stand between myself and my dreams.

SAGITTARIUS

You might be finding that karma is coming knocking, Sagittarius. Sometimes we get backed into what may seem like corners we cannot get out of, and you have had to make some pretty big decisions in terms of what to be open about, out of fear. The problem is, the longer you hold those things inside, the more the tension mounts and it can impact everything you do. Don’t be afraid to speak your truth, the ways out of that corner will reveal themselves as you do.

Sagittarius Affirmation this week: The truth really will set me free.

CAPRICORN

Memories are important this week, Capricorn. It is time to start making them, rather than re-living the ones we already have. You may be just going through life, doing everything that is expected of you lately but that doesn’t mean your inner thirst for knowledge needs to go unquenched. Give yourself permission to explore and enjoy a few things and reconnect with your desire.

Capricorn Affirmation this week: Uh, hello, GOAT! Desire is not a weakness, and I deserve good things.

AQUARIUS

No risk no reward, Aquarius. There are so many moves that you are going to have to make in the near future. Though you may be dealing with a little anxiety and worry over this, particularly this week. You may notice people trying to move in on your turf in certain situations, which may not help much, but needs to be addressed. Make sure they know where you stand and where they are supposed to be instead. Healthy boundaries will be tested, and that’s one test you’ll need to ace. Don’t let doubt or fear keep you from standing up for yourself.

Aquarius Affirmation this week: I do not have to accept the bad behavior of others.

PISCES

You may find that music offers a valuable outlet for some pent up emotions this week, Pisces, whether you’re just listening, performing or even writing out the lyrics yourself. Give yourself permission to express the feelings you have, and more than that. Make sure you’re being heard by those who need to know. Clarify your stances and allow yourself to be expressive of things.

Pisces Affirmation this week: My feelings deserve to be heard and honored.
