I wrote and rewrote the title of this full moon a few times because I didn’t want to be overly dramatic and, at the same time, the level of intensity needed to be conveyed! The pressure to change is upon us. Uranus conjuncts this full moon, and like a bolt of lightning across the sky, it is telling us to wake up and see our current situation differently. Part of what gives you the courage to make a shift under Uranian signatures is that you are given a glimpse of what could be; all eyes are to the future. This past year has brought varying levels of doldrums, boredom, depression, despair, grief, and stress for all of us. It’s also brought a deeper awareness of what our true needs are and what’s really important to us. This full moon is an opportunity to snap out of any unproductive autopilots you’ve been on. Allow yourself look to the future to inspire and guide you.
With Mercury in Libra square Saturn in Capricorn, take care not to gloss over hard truths with platitudes or avoid difficult conversations. You have the communication skills to move through a current impasse. Though it may increase your cortisol levels temporarily, far better that than letting a misunderstanding drag on much longer. Keep your focus on the long term strategy and goals with the situation. What is the general outcome you want? Let the rest fall away.
Mars continues its retrograde journey through Aries, and with its square to Jupiter, you may be fired up about any upheaval and change you are experiencing. Jupiter expands what it touches. Truth and temptation get equal treatment. The choice is yours with how to process and release this energy and anger. Anger is a good indicator that it’s time to redefine/shore up your boundaries. It also may indicate some unprocessed grief that seeks to move through you. Let your physical body guide you to what it needs. Your mind needs to take a backseat in this process.
With this full moon, you abandon something from the past. It’s a significant change, and feeling the distress and the excitement of it is natural. Eventually you will take full advantage of this shift and build something better and more beautiful from the rubble in 2021. Your creative, visionary powers are becoming stronger. Offer gratitude (if you feel up to it) for the lessons you’ve learned thus far from 2020.
Questions to Ponder: How might current realizations fuel new goals and priorities for myself? Where can I make some changes in my life to better reflect my evolving authenticity? When is the best time during my day to regularly ground down into the earth to most effectively channel the energy I’m feeling?
