Cosmologically Speaking, on a large scale, the Full Moon in Aries illuminates that polar division between war and peace within ourselves, in our relationships and, ultimately, with the world. The full moon in Aries with the Sun in Libra is all about all relationships. Isn't war and peace about how we relate to ourselves and to each other? Due to the multiple themes in this full moon's archetypal messages this blog will be longer than most. You may find some more relevant than others.
Ascending into the Consciousness of the Heart
As we go, some of us, kicking and screaming, toward integrating the consciousness of the heart, we will have to discover that in the garden of life there is room for all the flowers. Love for all and the desire to be in harmony with nature, our own natures, and those of others will promote us into more of our potential as divine-human hybrids. Respect becomes the pervasive way of approaching each other. Without going into too much astro-speak, the transpersonal planetary archetypes are squaring off with our personal archetypes of emotion, passion and ways of communicating and integrating information and each other.
Pluto, the Great Purifier for New More Evolved Paradigms
Without going into too much astro-speak, the transpersonal planetary archetypes are squaring off with our personal archetypes of emotion, passion and ways of communicating and integrating information and each other. Suffice it to say, the transpersonal planetary archetypes for social transformation and progress are squaring off with our personal archetypes of emotion, passion and the ways we communicate and integrate information.
Pluto, the great purifier/transformer has been bringing issues of abuse of authority, government and power to a head since January 27th 2008. In the external world, all the old governing paradigms are being nudged, in no uncertain terms, to purify and evolve. When this happens the old ways often attempt to assert themselves with great vehemence. On a more personal note, the resounding clarion call inside each of us is to discover what it means to stay true to our souls generally and within our relationships. Sound like a tall order? It is!
Ironically it will require the strongest of the feminine soft power and the most gentle and refined of the masculine power to balance the scales. Given that Pluto is in Capricorn this gender tango will have to play out in the most public arenas until new more balanced structures are integrated into society. Equal pay and abolition of sexual harassment and the ways we embrace the dispossessed are at the tip of the iceberg to this societal evolutionary bath.
We Are in for Surprises
We are in for a wide array of surprises. Some of them will be shocking. Given the arenas of the transpersonal planetost will have global ramifications. Where we do not listen nature will help us in her mysterious ways. Our human culture is being pushed to transform at the deepest diseased elements of society. These elements are the lack of balance between the receptive and active dynamics of our lives. Look at the most glaring example, of late, of this imbalance in the extreme, that is dominating the news. The actions of the aggressive high profile alpha Mars archetype on the vulnerable Venusian feminine. The unjust imbalance is shouting to be heard. Keep in mind that a major part of our ascent into our evolution involves a more expanded use of heart. This will necessitate a combination of increased awareness that leads to discernment as well as respect for the beauty and value of diversity.
What do the words Woman, Women, Female and She Have in Common?
It has always been curious to me how inclusive the words woman, women, female and she are. All carry two words and two genders. The spectrum of gender identity may be drawn from this inclusive phenomenon. Interestingly, it is said that the founders of judo (the martial art of the gentle way) and aikido (the martial art that expresses the way of love and harmony) on their death beds, when asked by their most advanced students what the secret to the arts were, said "If you want to know the secret watch women in their daily lives - the ways they interact with their young, the ways they care for their families, the ways they support life - these are the underlying principles of the arts." Surely a full integration of the feminine will balance the scales of how we may habitually conduct ourselves on a daily basis.
The Freedom to Be More of Yourself
Those who have endeavored to deal with relationship issues to improve the quality of the relationship will find rewards beyond what was desired. Issues that have not been addressed will be magnified.
On the more personal level, issues related to the needs of the individual and those of the relationship(s) will be highlighted, especially during this weekend. Old issues in this department will rear their insistent heads, sometimes crying out like a baby needing to be held. Each of us will find ourselves asking and indeed, negotiating, how can I stay true to my soul and my relationship(s)? I love what one of my favorite philosophers, Joseph Campbell, said about what happened to him when he and his wife married. He said he became freer to become more of himself in the marriage! This is the harmony that is possible when one is in harmony with Self. Without this harmony it becomes all too reflexive to project our inner relationship with ourselves onto those closest to us. The notion of the other dissolves when we relate from our souls. It is not about becoming co-dependent, rather, interdependent as we truly are. Hopefully we will not have to have harsh nudges to remind us.
In the Final Analysis
There are helpful modalities to smooth over the uncomfortable edges that can accompany our growth. Neptune's tools - meditation, music, conscious rest after activity and dreamwork soften the polarizing illusions and usher us to be the fulcrum for the scales. Each of us holds the power to make a big difference. After all, the whole is as good as the quality of each of its parts.
Here is a daily two-step mantra: How do you listen and understand and how do you choose to love?
May you know the beauty, the peace and joy of harmony with self and all your relations
