Sharing Our Prosperity

Libra Star CatalogueThere is a discordant restlessness, a frothing of fear and greed, reflected in the glowing warmth of this season’s Harvest Moon, threatening to lay waste to our annual sharing of prosperity with one other. This is the first Full Moon of the Autumnal Equinox; that time of year when the Sun in Libra, radiating grace and beauty in the northern hemisphere, demarcates a conscious shift in our self-awareness signaling the time to share ourself with others. When we are under the influence of Libra we are seeking peace and harmony not war and strife. This is one reason why the Libra Full Moon poignantly illuminates the awkward transition we humans make from self -determined actualization to conciliatory diplomatic negotiation, hopefully not sacrificing the one to the other. The Moon in Aries, promoting emotional courage and independence to assert our needs, also garners impulsive reaction often triggered by our unconscious motives, which, if not tempered with a modicum of judicious measure can backfire causing harsh reactions from others. This Full Moon is urging each of us to create balance  within ourself and in our relationships with others. Remembering that this is the Full Moon phase of a New Moon in Virgo may help each of us to work on improving a difficult relationship requiring our patience and acceptance of what is.

A Frisky Family

The first day of July gives birth to a frisky family of “wandering stars” bracketed between a Mercurial transit to Neptune trine the first day and opposing near the last. We begin the month  communicating our visionary ideals with increasing awareness and end the month in creative negotiation and compromise by merging our idealism with our pragmatism. Made all the more electrifying by two erupting eclipses during the month and a third accompanying the next. Mercury is at the ending degrees of Gemini making a lovely trine to Neptune then Jupiter sparking our creative imagination to expand beyond the familiar and envision our “global family” as one. The Moon in Scorpio is approaching a waxing trine with the Sun in Cancer emphasizing our emotional need to feel that we belong with those whom we call family. Together Sun and Moon bring us a sense of future fulfillment if we nurture our life vitality with a creative investigation of our inherited past and deepen our relationship with ourself and others. The big gun for the day is Uranus stationing Rx giving the universal principle of “boundless freedom” a radical rotation shifting our focus from an external to an internal  viewing of  humanity that can induce innovative changes in our compassion, empathy, and universal understanding. Venus in Taurus square Neptune in Aquarius is asking us to evaluate personal resources that are contributing to our attitudes about humanity, spirituality, and global consciousness. If we are truly interested in breaking free from past dogmas, this is a month when we can dissolve the boundaries of reality that are preventing us from collectively attracting abundance for our global family. Our only hesitation is our fear of scarcity and change.
