Full Moon Lunar Eclipse 13 degrees of Capricorn/Sun 13 degrees of Cancer
First of all I want to thank the individuals who are attending the Thursday night group Denae Richards and I have been facilitating for many weeks. We are calling the event, “The Good, The Bad and the Beautiful.” Our goal is to provide a safe and enriching environment to share and process how this time of chaos and crisis is affecting us. Our sharing has touched me and it has also ignited some thoughts to share in my Astro Tips.
Humanity has had a long, complex, exciting, traumatic, challenging and rich history that somehow brought us to this current time.
The beginnings of what we identify as humanity go back as far as five million years. There are fossils to teach us about our very distant ancestry. Proto-humans were living in caves and making crude tools as far back as 2.5 million years. Between 50,000 and 35,000 years ago, humanity began painting on cave walls. These paintings have many interpretations. For sure they indicate that there were humans living meaningful lives a very long time ago.
The dawn of humanity as society and culture coincided with the onset of the most recent ice age that began approximately 2.5 million years ago, and according to geology, we are still in this ice age. We are in the interglacial period of this cycle. Around 11,000-10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens became the best adapter to the changing climate and Homo sapiens survived the ice period by migrating and adapting to new environments wherever they went.
We could add another paragraph here and discuss the possible or probable visitation of people of a civilization from somewhere out in the Universe that helped direct the journey of Homo sapiens. Whether or not such visitations occurred is not included in this discussion.
Our human journey has been a long, complex, exciting, traumatic, challenging and rich history that somehow brought us to this current time. We had a Neolithic, agricultural period, where life centered on the feminine qualities of birth, life, death and rebirth. Earth based belief systems (systems that adhere to polytheistic leanings) were refined during this period and continue to this day in many indigenous societies, prominently in India (and lightworker communities!). The Neolithic mushroomed into a city-state system based on divine birth, royalty, wealth and stratification of class. We continue in the same system today after a period of at least 5,000 years. How did that happen? We shifted from the feminine to the masculine and we are trying to shift again, but where are we shifting to?
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse today July 4th: The Moon is in the sign of Capricorn, ruled by Saturn (tradition)
And here we are. 2020. Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Capricorn on July 4, Independence Day in America. Saturn is the planetary ruler of Capricorn. Saturn is time and structure and systems that we need to stay grounded on our planet. Capricorn provides history, precedent, containers and protocol that allow for stability, advancement and development. This is the gift of the masculine energy. It has given us pyramids, laws, art, music, science, and monotheistic belief systems. It has also given us a patriarchal social container and social Darwinism. We are at a cross roads where we are attempting to discern what traditions will support future generations and what structures in our government and society need to be overhauled or discarded. Most people are thinking about these matters and lining up on opposite sides of the fence. One side wants to adhere to a colonial tradition based on a white race majority that acquired this continent because God wanted that to happen; and the other side wants to be open to a melting pot that honors all people. This second group wants new systems that provide more material sharing and social justice for all people. That is too simply stated of course, but it is enough for now.
The Sun is in the opposite sign, Cancer, rules by the Moon (family)
The Sun opposing in the sign of Cancer brings up matters pertaining to family, the tribe, childhood, nurturing, food, the mother. This particular eclipse reveals the shadows of family and society and our role in those containers and systems. Many people are being gifted with family experiences right now that are helping them release and let go of old patterns and hurts
Without family, the human infant/child cannot survive. We cannot discard family. How do we find ways to ensure loving nurturance and healthy survival? An example is the new prevalence where more men are taking part in child rearing; men are utilizing their hearts as well as their masculine ability to provide stability and practical guidance.
Summary
The full moon in Capricorn suggests that we will have more information unveiled-- brought out of the vault, shaken from the shadows. It’s coming. The so-called leaders who think they can say anything and do anything have had their day. We need new leadership that has a vision of new cultural systems for the world to come.
And that brings me to The good, The bad, and The beautiful!
Life is full of goodness, difficulties, and beauty. We are living in such a time. According to Carl Johan Calleman, PhD, we are struggling to release our attachment to living inside a Hologram of Good and Evil. Calleman is one of the important researchers who unraveled the Maya Calendar. There are nine waves of creation in our planetary history. He maintains that the May calendar helps us understand out history. The Hologram of Good and Evil emerged out of one of the waves of creation. Now we are into the 9th wave trying to find our way to a Hologram of Unification. This will not happen over night.
According to Calleman’s book, The Nine Waves of Creation, we are sitting on 2.5 billion years of collective history and experience. We hold these billions of years in our DNA. Some say our DNA is shifting in its structure and this will lead to a new earth experience.
For me, the bottom line is this: We are sitting on everything that has ever happened. Everything is in our cellular memory. That is one of the messages of the Maya Calendar that completed a huge cycle in 2011-2012. Consequently, we are inside the chaos of our Hologram of good and evil. We are in the process of moving into a new cycle in our Galaxy and in the Universe. Cycles don’t change in one instance. They unfold. We are unfolding and we are crazy in the process.
We are struggling to create a bridge between the duality we live in. We are taught that life is duality; but actually, life is an essay full of color. Life is not black or white. It is full range of gray tones and colors. Life is not right or wrong. Life is experience full of nuance, learning, love, regret, joy, error and grace. Astrologer Robert Ohotto says the bridge between the Right/Wrong duality is a Rainbow. I like that. Perhaps the way we transmute the Hologram of Good and Evil is by focusing on a colorful bridge linking duality.
Today’s eclipse in Capricorn brings up the duality of prescribed authority versus subjective knowing and feeling (the sign of Cancer). The bridge between the two is life experience and openness to the awareness that we are souls in a Universe and each soul is unique, worthy and loveable. Many are called to lead with new visions for a new cycle (for new waves of creation?). Some are called to hold the boat steady as we move through troubled waters. Some are here to demand we not let go of everything we cherish. Everyone is needed on the bridge.
In closing, here is the Sabian Symbol for Capricorn 13-14 degrees:
