Full Moons bring things to a culmination or a conclusion. This month things are not so certain. Details can be blurry. Promises exaggerated. Results not quite so final.
The Moon is widely squaring Jupiter (Jupiter rules this Full Moon as the ruler of Sagittarius) and widely squaring Neptune, but more importantly they are exactly squaring each other (for the second time this year due to Jupiter's retrograde) - the first square was back on January 13th, so something from that time - the expansion of a dream/an exaggerated belief or promise - is being re-viewed/re-looked at.
We are five months from the first Neptune/Jupiter square surely we have learned something we can trust by now?!
Neptune is always dissolving something - we don't want it to be our common sense/cents.
This aspect, the Jupiter/Neptune square, became exact (for the second time) on SUNDAY, then we have the Full Moon on MONDAY and then on TUESDAY, our other big repeating aspect of 2019 - the Neptune/Saturn sextile becomes exact. So, at the time of the Full Moon we are building toward that.
We had the first Saturn/Neptune sextile on January 28th - so we are also being brought back to that date this week, too.
Neptune (our imaginations/dreams/art/spirit/healing) is working WITH Saturn in 2019 - not like in 2016 and into 2017 when they were squaring each other! Instead of our dreams (Neptune) being trashed by reality (Saturn) or our foundations/goals (Saturn) drifting away (Neptune) something we've kind of gotten used to in the last couple years - now our dreams can be supported/grounded (sextile) in reality. Keep in mind Saturn stuff builds over time - so patience may be required here. Saturn/Neptune aspects often involve a sacrifice - we have to willingly give up this, to get that.
Now, we have to keep in mind the square to Neptune/Jupiter that is exact now. Something probably isn't quite true here/isn't as big/great as it seems.
It is likely the peak/conclusion happening at the time of this month's Full Moon isn't quite as peak/final as it seems.
A closer look is needed. We don't want to overlook any important details. We don't want to be relying on any big promises that won't be delivered. There is a test of faith here - what do we believe in?
Mars and Mercury are conjunct (they will meet exactly on Tuesday and then together oppose Pluto on Wednesday - another powerful week!) and they have both eked their way past that Saturn opposition at the time of this Full Moon. So they are together (our thinking and our passions, our words and our deeds), nestled within a treacherous opposition to Saturn and Pluto.
This feels like some powerful opposition (from authority/the outer world/the rules/the way things have always been done) to our personal (Mars/Mercury) decisions and actions regarding that Cancerian house situation or that home, family, home business, family business, mother, relocation, renovation thing.
The Full Moon will make everything feel bigger, and possibly more overwhelming, than it is (and it could actually be pretty big).
On the plus side, we have the North Node (in Cancer) on our side. It won't be comfortable, but it can provide the forward momentum to push us into (or force our hand with) the new and untested stuff that feels more nurturing, more authentic, more like the mom and apple pie - we didn't even know we needed.
This Full Moon is testing our faith. Maybe taking a measure of what we are willing to give up in order to build something more AUTHENTIC (where we feel ownership of the experience); something that works independently of the failing patriarchy.
Jupiter/Neptune is EXPANDING the space for dreaming, imagining, connecting, remembering. Neptune/Saturn is stabilizing this expanded space.
Jupiter, ruler of this Full Moon, is in his home sign of Sagittarius - we aren't going to have a Full Moon in Sagittarius with Jupiter for another 12 years! Even as Neptune/Jupiter and Neptune/Saturn warn us to watch out for anything too shiny, too good to be true, TOO BIG - Jupiter says hey I won't be back here for TWELVE YEARS! This is a Full Moon, peak energy, USE IT OR LOSE IT, bub.
Maybe we can't tell what's real and what's not real anymore because that isn't the question we should be asking. If nothing is really real, then nothing is really not real ie impossible either. Maybe this is a good thing (we can see it could be in the future, but maybe it is an actual good thing RIGHT NOW) and we are looking at this whole "shifting reality" thing ass-backward.
Having said that we would still like some solid footing somewhere.
With illusory Neptune very strong this week (a strong Neptune is always dissolving something) and stationing retrograde on the 21st - this would not be the best time to make a big, important decision. Mars is still opposite Saturn and approaching Pluto (along with Mercury) - avoid arguments, power struggles, saying things you might regret, avoid bridge burning if possible - retrogrades are not a time for bridge burning because we are walking paths we aren't done with yet. We will be back here again and it would be nice if there was a freakin' bridge here.
When Neptune stations retrograde on Friday, the Sun will move into Cancer, ushering in the Summer Solstice. This is going to be an excellent time to meditate, pray, connect with our intuition/ancestors for powerful guidance.
Until then we have a challenging week ahead and my "live to fight another day" advice continues.
Avoid direct confrontations if possible. Avoid deceptive pie-in-the-sky promises. Don't over-promise. No dark alleys. No candy from strangers. Let the storms blow over. Pressures can feel intense.
We have a game-changer solar eclipse in two weeks that is being SET UP NOW (last week and this week) and we need to be in the best position we can be in for that. Keep an eye on that Cancer North Node - prioritize self care. MOTHER YOURSELF.
Home and work are still stress points (and our natal Cancer/Capricorn house themes).
To sum up this Full Moon - Sagittarius opposing Gemini - tension between what we believe and what we think, tension between what is foreign and what is local, tension between the big-picture and the immediate details. With Neptune squaring the Moon's ruler Jupiter - everything will not be quite as it seems. Something is just TOO MUCH. Our actions/passion (Mars) is opposed by powerful forces. The Moon is conjunct the Galactic Center - seat of creation. Even with all the potential for bullshit and deception - I still can't stop thinking about the possibilities ....
xo all
back with the weekly on Monday, buckle up
