looking back

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I? ~ Judy Garland

What an interesting full moon approaching! Yes, I am aware 'interesting' is never a jaunty trip ahead. I'll continue. Saturday evening sitting alone in the sign of Simha (Leo) the moon gazes across the earth at all the planets residing in 4 signs - Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces and Aries. Mars and Venus are in war with one another in the industrious Capricorn  - it is here the planets of pleasure (venus) and action (mars) are asking for patience, commitment and dedication. There will be friction, passion and disagreements in relationships at this time. The key here is to LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN as they reside in the lunar mansion Shravana. Walk in another's shoes before you just throw your own around, Dorothy. Elphaba has a story too - and some stolen ruby slippers at that.

We then move to Mercury and Saturn providing a planetary hug around the Sun in Aquarius. There is a distancing birds eye view effect happening to your logic, sense of self and your karmic lessons right now. There is a need to break free of old moulds that don't fit or aren't aligned to our truth. This is a go it on your own rebellion. There is much healing here if you innovate and think outside of the box. BEWARE there may be a crisis of ego at this time which leads to something better.

Now Jupiter and the Moon are both in fire signs at this time. Jupiter is asking us to initiate new beliefs and potentially give birth to new projects in Aries. The Moon (our mind) though is glancing back at our past. At our ancestors, family, where we've come from. There is a mourning of where we've been before we move forward on all this new rebellion of new/different/alignment. You can now understand why I used the word interesting. I ain't going to sugar coat it. This is not a full moon for the faint hearted. In fact a Magha moon is asking you to be mighty not weak or a victim. With all this confusing celestial energy above influencing us down here on earth: pay your respects to your past, see the bigger picture in your present and hold true to you as you walk into your future.

Stay light,
Mark :)
