December Full Moon 2012
The Last Full Moon of 2012
The end of the year is marked by strong planetary
configurations. The Full Moon in
Cancer opposes Sun in Capricorn sitting on the same chair with Pluto. This trio is challenging Uranus to
hurry up and start a revolution.
Of course we know the revolution is ongoing and this full moon is just
another invitation to join force with those who want to change the world. Friday’s full moon (12-28-12) at 7
degrees of Cancer is a strong moment in the continuing upheaval here on our
planet. Uranus and Pluto are in a
harsh, challenging angle that continues into 2013. Keywords for the Uranus/Pluto struggle are: awakening, revolution, transformation,
and evolution (just for starters).
Whenever other planets connect with this Uranus/Pluto square, there is
more opportunity for outer manifestations. Powerful emotions are associated with the Moon and Pluto
during this full moon. Take care
this week to acknowledge your feelings.
Not a good time to bury them in the ground. Uranus will be sure to stick a firecracker on them and
announce everything you are trying to hide. What do we do with all this intensity of emotion?
How to handle a T cross
A T-cross is a challenging aspect. The Sun and Pluto oppose the full Moon and then they all
square Uranus. A T-cross is hard
but it is also an opportunity to push on through. People who have T cross aspects in theirs horoscopes do not
give up and they often achieve a great deal. With this full moon we can work a little harder and get
things accomplished. As I already
mentioned, the Sun/Pluto/Moon connections indicate powerful emotions. The psyche is stirred up and wants to
do something with all that complicated muddy stuff. But the Moon also connects in a pretty way with Neptune and
Saturn delivering compassion, creativity and inspiration that long to be
embodied in something tangible. Meanwhile, Mercury, the communication planet,
is angry with Uranus. We want to
be gentle but it might not come out that way.
Don’t be afraid to express yourself in spite of the mixed
bad of big energies. Emotions are flowing easily and gracefully: the full moon trines Saturn and
Neptune. Deep caring and a genuine
sense of responsibility need to be expressed this week even if it is
difficult. There are volatile
energies whipping around us but we still need to go inside and feel what is
real. That reality will be
different for everyone. We can
express from a powerful place of centeredness without tearing down someone
else.
Mars is changing signs from Capricorn (earthy, stern,
security oriented, worker) to Aquarius (air, communication, people oriented,
humanity, causes). Mars is not so
physical in an air sign. In
Aquarius, Mars is righteously right (!) about what it believes and it
communicates those beliefs.
Whether you are an Aquarius person does not matter. Let those opinions flow! Mars is stifled a bit by its current
connection with Saturn. We want to
stick a sock in whatever bothers us and just stuff it. The dynamics of this full moon suggest
it is time to be a catalyst for awakening and for change. Open up and
share. You may be the one who
needs to be changed by hearing yourself speak!! Remember the old saying: change begins with me.
How to handle a YOD
Jupiter is the focal point of a YOD formation with Saturn
and Pluto. Remember the Sun is in
a conjunction with Pluto. The Sun
is about our ego and identity; Pluto intensifies the ego; Jupiter inflates the
ego. Saturn is the other angle of
the YOD. Saturn is the mature one. So the Sun/Pluto are sitting nicely
with Saturn. The ego is strong and intense and acting with maturity. Then
Jupiter kicks the door down and some adjustment must be made: shut up and clam up or express in a
very big way. A YOD requires
adjusting. During the full moon we
may go back and forth between feeling and being wise and mature and the next
moment behaving like an egomaniac.
This is a time full of potential for expression and growth. Let’s don’t
waste it.
Reflections on a year about to end
This full moon provides ample stimulus for reflecting on
2012 and projecting ourselves into the New Year. We are getting ready to say goodbye to a year that has been
famous: 2012, the year the Maya
calendar came to an end. From all
the drama we have learned about powerful cycles in our solar system, about our
connection with the galactic center and about the brilliance of Maya
astronomers.
2012 was an interesting year in this respect: Mars was retrograde in Virgo for
months—January 23 to April 13. And
since Mars rules energy and action, most of us felt we couldn’t quite get on
the right highway. We were
resolving old issues/ projects and searching for our way until July, when Mars
left Virgo and moved into Libra.
Furthermore, Venus was retrograde in Gemini from May 15 to June 27 and
we found we had to deal with more stuff from the past before we could go
on. Both of these planets
retrograde together brought big events for a lot of people. Crises or important life events had to
be managed before we could get on with it! It wasn’t until we finished a Mercury retrograde phase from
July to early August that the year really started to roll forward and you know
what happens when September rolls around?
The year winds down. We are done. And here we are now. Fast year.
Time to TRY to live in many dimensions simultaneously
It will be interesting to look back and get a sense of what we
did accomplish in 2012 in spite of the retrograde handicap. Meanwhile we were headed for December
21st, the end of the calendar, the end of the world as we have known
it. The pressure was on. We had to perform in this physical
world and somehow get ready for the ascension energy. Planets Uranus and Pluto began their important configuration
that signifies changes in governments, upheavals in societies, and a big fight
between the status quo plutocracy and an awakening humanity demanding civil
rights and equality. Meanwhile we
were inundated with spiritual channelings regarding the changes we might expect
(a visit or collision with planet Nibiru for example). We are headed into the 5th
dimension where some of us will be living in many dimensions simultaneously. The troubles in Egypt and Syria will
continue. Our struggles regarding
gun control will continue. We will
still get a cold and pay our car payments. And yes, we are stepping into our place in the cosmos. We
are joining with All That Is; we are becoming genuine participants in the
Universe. Are we ready? The Sabian symbol for the current full
moon in Cancer is: “A group of
rabbits dressed in human clothes walk as if on parade.” (An Astrological Mandala by Dane
Rudhyar, 1973 page 115) Does this
mean we are dressing up and trying to take on the next costume and the next
consciousness? Are we ready? One possible implication of the symbol is that we are like
rabbits that want to become humans:
we are humans ready to try on new attire that gives us a different
consciousness and upgraded identity. We are ready to parade our new evolutionary status!
“There is a force in me,
pushing, pushing,
beginning its outbreath
after a long sleep.
Sacred darkenss slowly yields
to newborn light.”
