"We are born at a given moment, in a given place, and like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more." - Carl Gustav Jung

The Last Full Moon of 2020

   Welcome to the last Full Moon of the year, highlighting the Cancer/Capricorn polarity, or domestic concerns vs. big business. We have already seen so much action in these two signs this year, that this is familiar energy! 2020 started off with a January 10th Lunar Eclipse in Cancer and the Sun in Capricorn, followed by the June 21st Solar Eclipse with both the Sun and Moon  at 00 degrees of Cancer,  then another Lunar eclipse on the 4th of July, this time with the Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Cancer. That's a whole lot of Cardinal water - emotions, home and family, facing off with Cardinal Earth - business, responsibilities and institutions.

   To me, this is a snapshot of what the year has been all about... safety vs. security, nurturance vs. restriction, families vs. financial constrictions and feelings vs. reservations. The covid virus alone was enough of a deterrent, but the major issues stem from pre-existing planetary aspects. The BIG one is powerful Pluto in Capricorn since 2008, deconstructing infrastructures... remember the Housing Market Crash?! People in positions of responsibility misused their power for their own purposes - feathering their own nests while taking away the only nest of many families. Those who influence or set the laws and are still holding the reins, aren't willing to let go of their control if it means they have to re-distribute resources they covet. This problem is still being uncovered and addressed while Pluto remains in Capricorn until the start of 2024.

   Alright, let's focus on what we can do to ride the undercurrents of change brought in by the Jupiter/Saturn Conjunction in Aquarius on the Winter Solstice. Hopefulness lies in the abilities of individuals to be effective agents of reform and transformation. That means stepping up in our communities and local governments to represent the populace and make sure their needs for food, shelter and jobs are addressed. Individuals coming together with like-minded and informed others to plant seeds for growth leads to the changes necessary to ensure that the needs of the many are more important than the desires of the few.

   Looking at the chart of tonight's Full Moon at 10:28pm, we see the Moon opposing not just the Sun but also Mercury. This creates a dilemma between head and emotions, making it difficult to know whether to go with one's gut or thoughts. It would be important to speak your feelings out loud by saying them to someone else, or write them down, then read aloud to yourself, in order to hear them before you decide on a course of action. Mercury is known as the Messenger of the Gods and it's important to be receptive to Divine inspiration when interacting or communicating your needs at this time.

   Things can come to a head at the Full Moon and allow us to see what needs to be discarded in order to move forward. This is especially true now with the Moon getting an assist from insightful Uranus and the Sun also harmonizing with this maverick planet of change! Thinking outside of the box, using your ingenuity and a friendly, cooperative approach to solving your pressing issues, is a benefit of this Full Moon energy. Wanting things to change is normal, the path to getting there can be fraught with obstacles are more easily overcome with cooperation and a new approach. It's time to let go of the old one!

   As you contemplate those things you are aware of and want to take action on, remember to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground.
