This full moon comes along and provides some fresh ways of viewing your world and your current situation. The tough love of Sun opposed Pluto last week may have exposed some unconscious dynamics. You now are better understanding the power of the energy that was freed up. Now, with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Aquarius, you wield the creativity and innovation to galvanize yourself and others to something even better, that you might not have even thought was possible before now.
Venus’s placement reminds us to stay flexible and nimble in our approach, especially with others. Aquarius energy can be fixed and rigid at times. In order not to alienate others, you must be responsive to their needs and incorporate them into the overall vision. Demonstrate humility and aim to create something that is most useful to the greatest number of people. If you find yourself getting controlling or self-righteous, those are good indicators to bring in more gentleness, compassion, and empathy.
The moon is sandwiched between Pluto and Saturn, and these three are curious bedfellows. The moon craves safe spaces to be yourself, while Pluto pushes you out of our comfort zone to transform and grow and Saturn asks you to commit and create tangible results to develop your personal mastery. Pluto and the moon can come together with psychological inventory and healing. You examine your instinctual responses to see if they are serving you, and if they aren’t, go to the root of the issue to bring about some healing. This will look different for everyone, so allow yourself your own process without comparing yourself to others. Saturn, on the other hand, asks you to build endurance to see your commitments through to the finish line. The result of both of the Saturn and Pluto pressure on this full moon is you are finding ways to heal and get out of your own way so you can accelerate your progress and access more of your potential.
Mercury is heading into its opposition with Pluto, giving a certain psychological weight to our conversations and interactions. If you find yourself or others reacting strongly to something that was said, remember to slow down and pause. Neptune is trine Mercury, giving us access to universal compassion and our intuition, however, in order to access it, you have to slow your nervous system down to get out of any fight/flight/freeze patterns.
If you can stay present to the wave of different feelings that may come with this full moon, you will feel like a weight has been lifted once you get to the other side of it. There is some clearing out of your psychic closets that needs to happen in order to bring about greater clarity and a fresh perspective.
Questions to Ponder: How am I finding ways to get out of my own way and embrace possibility more? In what ways am I seeing how my personal mastery has developed over time? What beliefs about myself have been weighing me down lately, and what would it feel like to let them go?
