Aquarius Full Moon - Shared Insights

"I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream"

— Making Love Out Of Nothing At All - Air Supply

The 'hits' keep coming this week as we reach the culmination of the creative, self-expressive, Leo lunar cycle with an Aquarius Full Moon (12:54 AM PDT 16° Aquarius/Leo) at the end of the week. The Moon and Jupiter are in mutual reception at the beginning of the week, producing expansive, stabilizing progress and significant optimism. Mars arrives in Libra mid-week, echoing last Tuesday's instinctual energy surge, when the Moon touched the same early section of Libra. Mars forms a Grand Air trine with Uranus and Pluto, activating the revolutionary, transformative energy of the two 'outer planets'. Mars is prone to stirring up a great deal of 'drama' in Libra when its initiatory efforts are stalled. The struggle to establish compromise and cooperation is quite intense but solid traction and a clear sense of direction remains elusive — suggesting plenty of drama. There is little to suggest that there is any 'giving up' — the push is ON. The sense that things are spiraling out of control surfaces at several points this week. Mars also makes an opposition to Saturn and Neptune, increasing awareness of the full scope of action required in order to satisfy the demands for change that are cascading into the overall environment. Rigid approaches are beginning to break down. Inspiration intensifies. We can see (i.e., visualize) the tools that we need in order to begin to build a brand new world — we can even almost touch those tools. But finding — and decisively embracing — a clear sense of direction is particularly challenging. Mars is highlighting our need for direct action but is easily derailed when obstacles surface. The Mars/Uranus/Pluto Grand Air trine suggests surprising 'information reveals' and transformative inspiration. Mars opposing Saturn and Neptune increases awareness along with the imperatives and even encourages self-discipline and compromise. A determined search for lasting resolutions is initiated this week but it won't be clear exactly how to get where we want to go. A Sun-Ceres trine completes just before the early morning Aquarius Full Moon (12:54 AM PDT 16° Aquarius/Leo) on Saturday, offering extraordinary protection and endurance. The trine echoes the extended Mercury-Ceres trine at the retrograde station of Mercury near the end of last month. Mercury will station direct early next week, when we will finally begin to fully utilize the effective 'mouthpiece' influence of Mercury in Leo in order to more clearly express our individual insights — which are the very insights that are bubbling to the surface this week. Once we are able to effectively communicate these insights to others, the pace of our progress will be be remarkably improved!

Sunday's atmosphere is smooth and easy-going but there is a feeling that something important is missing. Nonetheless, there are remarkable opportunities to make significant progress. The doors to productive, expansive connections and stabilizing progress remain open on Monday. A stubborn streak emerges, however, that may try to take charge without laying any obvious groundwork. Reality sets in on Tuesday when we recognize some 'deferred responsibilities'. We are awakened to the need for some kind of direct action. There is an unnerving feeling that things are about to spiral out of control on Wednesday. There is a great deal of determined independence but not much clear direction. We find a potent connection to intuition on Thursday. We're prone to trying to 'ferret' out meaning how ever we can but we don't gain much traction — at least until the evening hours. We find powerful endurance and a highly protective atmosphere on Friday. We are focused on trying to set up some kind of lasting foundation for future progress. Transformative inspiration is under-girded by extraordinary endurance and determination on Saturday. Nonetheless, we'll have to wait to get the kind of traction to fully and clearly express our vision — but have faith, the time will come.
