We have an extraordinarily rare and powerful BLUE MOON at the 29th “critical” degree of SAGITTARIUS or Sage Moon.
Less than 12 hours later we have SOULSTICE, one of the four major turning points in the year,when the Sun stands on the Tropic of CANCER, enters zero degrees Cancer, called the WORLD POINT.
We haven’t had a Solstice and a Full Moon since 1997, a complete nodal cycle. The next one won’t happen until 2035. The 1997 Full Moon solstice is an especially powerful memory for me as I was just pregnant with our daughter Leah who has just graduated from High School yesterday. Think back on what has happened in your life over the past 19 years and think about where you want to be 19 years into the Future.
The 29th degree of Sagittarius Blue Moon culminates @ 4:02 am PDT/ 7:02 am EDT/ 11:02 am GMT. It is conjunct the Galactic Center, the great Black Hole or cosmic Vagina at the center of our Galaxy. This is the place the Mayans revered as a place of Cosmic REBIRTH and where the December 21st Solstice was aligned in 2012. We are three and a half years from that shift in Consciousness, we may want to take stock of how far we have come since then as well.
This Full Moon is one of alchemical change and transformation. This is a Critical time some astrologers have come out with big warnings of the chaos at his full Moon which has been building. We must stay optimistic and trust, and we must also act with SAGE wisdom.
CHIRON in PISCES, the wounded healer is squaring the MOON. Yes the world is feeling very vulnerable from the recent mass shootings in Orlando. From this tragedy the world showed a unified message of love for all beings. Out of vulnerability comes wisdom and hope a Sagittarius element. Our hearts need to be blasted open over and over again to find complete PISCES compassion.
Symbols for 30 degrees Sagittarius from John Sandbach
“By time traveling, a man takes a photograph of dinosaurs. (Omega Symbol) Transforming/Inspired
(Degree Angel Name: Nithael (NIT-ha-EL) The Death of Death, Rejuvenation and Eternal Youth)
So deep are the roots of karma, sometimes when it is only cleared on surface levels it can grow back and then we find ourselves once again in an old pattern. This degree has an instinct for going deep into the self or any problem or complex of circumstances to really contact the source of it. This can give a whole new perspective on reality, and eventually loosen the energetic knot that has bound us.
Chandra Symbol “The completion of a large Persian rug.”
It is a joy to come to the end of a long, arduous task, and the truth is, every minute of our lives is just that – the completion of a process that has been going on so long that its beginnings are far beyond memory’s normal capacity. This degree carries the precious truth that every moment is complete in and of itself, and is full of the richness and abundance of a grand and tremendous history. It personifies cosmic perspective carried to the most glorious and nth degree.
Pleiadian Symbol: A man in a tall hat is reading omens in the smoke from an altar.
Azoth Symbol: People sleeping as they travel near the speed of light.
Seed degree: 27 Pisces. A spider searching its web. (Omega Symbol). By looking at what we have drawn to ourselves karmically we can perceive the depths of our own past.
A ritual sand painting. (Chandra Symbol). When we let go of attachments to permanence, we are able to do what we need to do and finish what we have started.
Fulfillment degree: 23 Virgo. A library is burning. A man therein continues to read. (Omega Symbol). When we sense the vast chain of events of which we are a part, we attain eventually an unshakable patience.”
This Full Moon takes us into Gemini/Sagittarius polarities. Gemini Sun is in the first AIR element, signifying the dawning of consciousness in the mind, a youthful awe and curiosity, of the perception of duality . Sagittarius is the last FIRE element sign, signifying the mature distilling of learning, spiritual teachings and wisdom through experience, travel and integrating many points of view.
The GRAND MUTABLE CROSS and major Asteroid Goddesses are strongly involved.
The four elements and wheel of existence from Carl Jung’s Red Book
JUPITER, Sagittarius {and Pisces} ruling planet is exactly conjunct the NORTH NODE. This is a karmic finger-pointing us to stay grounded, to listen to our bodies, to trust our gut instincts and to rely on our intellectual abilities to discern and do the math. We need to put our faith and out direction into the earth. We must stay humble, mindful and be closely connected with our literal roots and communities.
NEPTUNE is conjunct the SOUTH NODE, the past and ATHENA Goddess of strategy, the warrior Goddess, showing us to see through the veil of illusions of Hollywood, deception in the media, and the debt, fraud and to our addictions. Neptune conjunct the SOUTH NODE is pointing to the “old tyme religion” as gotta go time.
IMAGINE John Lennon’s most revolutionary and probably the most powerful song ever written shows us the Neptune South Node conjunction “imagine no religion.” America’s addiction to guns, worshipping vacuous stars, oil, porn and violence in video games must be seen for the tools of mass hypnosis which they are and surrendered if we are to get healthy whole and realize that humanity is in dire peril.
SATURN Retrograde is opposed to MERCURY in GEMINI conjunct VESTA the Goddess of money, focus and health and they are square to JUPITER and the NORTH NODE and NEPTUNE and the SOUTH NODE. Our thinking must be very serious, we must review maturely how we got to this crazy place.
The world seems to be split in two, we see the prevelance of the us and them Gemini archetype of those who want to innovate and grow and those who are in fear and can only hang onto the old outside authority systems of Patriarchal religions. We must have wisdom and Higher Spiritual Jupiterian Law, as opposed to man-made law prevail.
JUPITER, North Node and PLUTO are in a TRINE which is extremely beneficial. Our souls and our bodies, are our real power. Pluto is power-over, control, secrets, big corporate powers, the 1% and VIRGO is the 99 %, the workers of the earth, the humble servants. The cosmic HOT SPOT is the NORTH NODE and with the earth herself, and with the people who work together in Community.
The SAGITTARIUS Moon is conjunct to VENUS in CANCER. We are feeling very emotionally sensitive at this critical full Moon which swells the oceans and our emotions and we need of lots of support. We need to have the tenderest, most instinctual Motherly love at this time as our guiding light. We don’t want to stray far from home.
The Moon trines URANUS in ARIES conjunct ERIS and CERES all at the 23rd degree. They are in square to PLUTO in CAPRICORN. The planets of chaos, sudden change, guns, the military, and initiating new revolutionary breakthroughs and inventions is conjunct the Great Mother CERES. Did you note that those poor souls who were caught in the Pulse nightclub first called their Mothers to tell them they loved them? It is the most instinctual Moon thing to do.
We must change the way we relate to the Mothering principle and give birth to a newer, stronger, independent and healthier form of the Divine Feminine. Ceres also rules the food supply of the earth. We need to address the military industrial complex and companies like MONSANTO whose GMO foods threatens the destruction of all life on earth through their inventions which are about death and control, asap.
JUNO, the FEMININE form of GENIUS is conjunct to LILITH and they are sextiling the MOON and opposed to URANUS, CERES and ERIS combining all of their energies into a primal Feminine uprising. Lilith refuses to compromise her principles of respecting the Feminine and JUNO has the ability to bring many disparate elements together. Women must come out on the warpath in upholding the sacred Feminine principles.
MARS is still RETROGRADE at 23 degrees SCORPIO inconjunct to URANUS, ERIS and CERES. The theme is very much about the MASCULINE connection to rape, control and power at any cost, is undergoing a soul searching transformation of its shadows, where those energies are being transformed. Mars, the warrior God, symbol of WAR, aggressiveness and competition, always on the defensive, is meeting the forces of deep change. The challenge is for the masculine to be willing to be with the Goddess in a new way. She has always had the power, She gives birth to all life. The Masculine denial of the Feminine is the root cause of most of the violence we think is a natural part of being human and have accepted as such. But it is not, it is a distortion of the Patriarchal imbalance.
The SIGN Of SAGITTARIUS is associated with the TAROT Major ARCANA #14, traditionally called TEMPERANCE. In the Thoth Tarot that I use its called ART or ALCHEMY.
Alchemy is the turning of LEAD {SATURN} into GOLD {The SUN}. We are energetically practicing and going through this transformation from the basest, heaviest of metals, which symbolizes the dense material reality, the testing, limitations and obstacle that planet SATURN Lord of the Rings constantly throws at us. As the Sun is the LIGHT, Solstice is both the longest night and paradoxically the shortest one depending on where one is on the planet creating a balance between the MASCULINE and FEMININE symbolized by Temperance.
This powerful Full Moon is one of cosmic alchemical change and transformation. We must inspire the world with Sagittarius optimism, faith in higher wisdom and faith that these momentous changes will bring balance and justice into the world.
Don’t go into the fear. Aim those SAGITTARIUS arrows Higher.
