✶Heightened Psychic Senses in Everyday Situations ✶
◯ Full Moon in Taurus ♉☍♏ Sun in Scorpio ☉
“That thing you call intuition? It’s
your soul. You can trust it.” (anon)
☆ •°*☾ ◯☽ *°•.☆
From the astrological and elemental
points of view the Taurus Full Moon on Saturday 4th November, @5:23UT, is Fixed
Earth: tenacious, solid and strong. Please bear these simple but practical
qualities in mind, because setting the astrological tone and holding sway over
of this exalted Moon, in the sign of the earthy Bull, is the intense and
complex, dramatic Scorpio Sun, as ‘Fixed Water’. Thus the powerful and
intuitive water sign Scorpio now benefits from the stable Taurean influence, as
Earth and Water can be extremely fertile: anchored in mud’s murky depths
(Scorpio) the beautiful lotus can surely grow and flourish (Taurus). Earth also
provides a container for Water’s acute sensitivity.
✶The robust Taurus tends towards a laid-back simple life, one that
provides sufficient cuddles, finances, and food in the kitchen. A fine French
wine may be a Bull’s prized possession; whereas Scorpio
can seduce and share said vintage and transport both parties to discover
previously hidden depths of the psyche. Scorpio may be shadowy and mysterious,
but the 8th sign of the zodiac is also profound and perceptive, with an
inexhaustible, deep well of concealed resources. This passionate sign of
intimacy, secrets, shared assets and penetrative insights, doesn’t give up his
or her secrets – or the Cabernet Sauvignon so easily: unless you are dealing
with a the higher-minded Scorpionic clairvoyant, the one with x-ray vision who
works an inner-wisdom that does not suffer fools too long, one generally needs
to earn Scorpio’s trust.
Scorpio tends to wield the enigmatic
with provocative control and a sexy sixth-sense precision to maintain a power
base that brims with magical potential. And there is great astral news for
Scorpio (and Taurus –and possibly other fixed signs Leo & Aquarius) to
bring that potential into reality, as this is the only Full Moon in the Fire
Bird year in which the Spirit of the Sun conjoins beneficent Jupiter, only
recently moved into magnetic Scorpio. The celestial courier, Mercury, is also
in Scorpio, albeit in late degrees, honing an eagle eye that could help one to
seek and seize opportunities for growth and success, by concentrating the mind
with Taurean determination and Scorpionic intensity.
Apart from the extreme nature of
Scorpio accenting life, death and rebirth (easy on that red wine now, please),
it is the starry blend of Sun and Jupiter when good things are cosmically bound
to happen. Some might call it ‘luck’, but the Sun-Jupiter is a most
astrologically preferred combination that nearly always represents good fortune
and excellent timing. And, if whatever ‘it’ is that you have in mind when
reading this comes into being, then give thanks; if not, Jupiter’s influence
means it will be easy to be philosophical, keep spirits up, and move on: such is
the nature of the sparkling duo, Sun-Jupiter. Incidentally, while this is the
Full Moon exuding the most Jupitarian optimism, the exact hit of the glorious
Sun-Jupiter Jupiter has actually already passed, since 26th October, with the
waxing first quarter Moon, a traditional time of action; so some of you may
already have experienced a boost to your system in one form or another (check
your scope for 1-6°Scorpio to see how, what and where), which could have
already been shared with the close and trusted, so that celebratory bottle may
already be recycled. Events may still seem slightly exaggerated. In any event
the Sun radiating with expansive, happy-go-lucky Jupiter gives a definite sense
of hope, and situations surrounding this Full Moon could actually shed more
than a little happiness – at the very least this Full Moon should show there is
light at the end of the tunnel.
✶Most people want to better themselves and going up a notch, in status or
self-esteem, is common whenever the radiant Sun is with generous Jupiter – as is taking risks due to the belief that one’s view is true. Indeed, the Full Moon in the sign of Taurus accents how
much we value our self-worth. But we must also be careful not to become
prisoners of our own desires. At the time of this Full Moon, the Scorpio Sun
also aligns with two fixed stars: one is Alphecca in ‘Corona Borealis’ which
suggests a crown is given – a reward or prize for being in the right place at
the right time. But such nobility and dignity come not without a price. There
is no such thing as a free lunch, it would seem – even when the Full Moon is in
the sign of foodie-loving Taurus. As the Sun is also with a minor fixed star,
Acrux, it implies that along with any rise, award, or bonus given right now,
one must be realistic about what one can achieve purely through luck or love,
charm or good looks, and be prepared to work at going through whatever life
presents, good or bad. That said, while Acrux may present a cross to carry, the
ancients saw the brighter star, Alphecca, as a precious jewel in a garland worn
with honour and artistic ability, so much so that scandals that arise now may
not even affect the subject’s status or standing.
This Full Taurus Moon is also
exalted, meaning it is in the best possible sign to experience the stability
and security found with the easily attainable: good food, happy company and
pleasant surroundings can provide ample comfort and joy over this Full Moon
weekend, as well as a time and place for planning one’s next success. Because
this Full Moon also has the backing of arch-tactician, asteroid Pallas Athena –
at the degree of the Moon’s exaltation, plotting future moves around the dining
table may well be the making of something a lot more solid.
Both ‘Lights’, Sun and Moon, also
make helpful aspects to outer planets, Neptune and Pluto, accenting
transformative connections to our soul groups, as well as the legacy each
generation leaves behind for those to come. Neptune in Pisces takes us into the
oceanic realms of illusion and delusion, emptiness and bliss, compassion and
charitable institutions (so that if anyone has one glass too many under full
moonbeams, it will be easy to forgive if not forget). Pluto is Scorpio’s
hard-hitting modern ruler who never overlooks anything, however; and Mars is
Scorpio’s traditional ruler; so it’s good to note how Mars is now in his fall
in Libra, and as such is on rear guard, softening negotiation but still driving
the Full Moon horoscope’s locomotive formation with sweetly pushy and
beguiling. It might also be worth noting here that in three decades of
astrological study I have come to the conclusion that Pluto dominates those
Scorpios who live and work for others (through altruism, diviners, and trauma
professions: surgeons, psychology, undertakers, solicitors, detectives, police,
chemists, researchers; miners, business people, architects, chimney sweeps and
sewer workers also fall into Scorpio professions), while Mars generally has
ambitions to be heroic with (someone else’s) cause to fight (soldiers, stock
market, lawyers).
✶ Plutonic Scorpios are also acutely aware of the dark side; they
inherently know that personal power corrupts but the non-ego-bound energy
sustains. Battles waged can also be against Scorpio’s own demons. But one thing is certain during this Full Moon: it is the
powerful planet Pluto which makes the most promising contacts to Sun and Moon,
meaning we all get to play a part in a dramatic transformation that leads,
eventually, to an all-or-nothing regeneration: in this we can think of own our
part in holding course to maintain healthy water, for example (drink fresh,
blessed and pure), and know that what we do now impacts upon at least seven
generations to come.
✶ Psychic sensitivity is also heightened by any planet in Scorpio. And
with Jupiter’s move into (tropical) Scorpio we can all expand more easily in
this area over the coming year (until November 2018) should we want to touch
base with intuition, or subtle body bio-energy, this is the year to do so.
Scorpionic issues such as transforming our position on death, sex, taxes, will
also be brought into our attention; sometimes by first being dragged through
the mud before reaching the light.
✶ Those looking for answers, clues or messages from the unseen, as in the
dream-world or intuition, won’t be disappointed. Though the message itself
might seem rather cut and dried, mundane and plain, without any ‘spiritual’
frills, but still one should take note, as these are very insights that hone
the way the mind perceives the world of the unseen and the subtle body
energies. Some messages will have all-singing all-dancing bells ringing to
awaken sky dancers into action. But mostly, over this Moon, intuition could
seem rather prosaic.
✶Looking ahead, beyond the encouraging New Scorpio Moon 18th November, to
the December 3rd Full Sagittarian SuperMoon, when Jupiter makes a Trine (120°)
to Neptune. The Full Moon after this is almost celestially designed, if not on
the path already, to open your heartmind to daily spiritual practice, whatever
that may be: meditation, yoga, dance, music, prayer, mindfulness, all can
deepen naturally. With Jupiter in good aspect to oceanic Neptune there will be
no need to push, but to restez-zen in one’s flow. So that by January 2018, when
the Fixed water Scorpio Jupiter harmonises with the Earthy Capricorn Pluto,
through a sextile (60°), a personal transformation will almost certainly be
felt. Pluto in Capricorn is only still half way through its passage of the
majestic and formal Capricorn, so is still to fully renovate traditional but
outworn authoritarian structures (with Pluto Cap connections) by 2025.
For now the challenge for the
Scorpionic Jupiter’s Fixed Water is not to languish in darkness, grappling with
good or evil, but to transform such polarity from deep within. Fixed water
Scorpio has the ability to overcome the poison of ignorance and desire by
slaying the internal nine-headed hydra through complete self-trust,
psychological insight and an unbreakable will. Sifting through all the dross
that comes to surface in difficult times is Scorpio’s task. Scorpio gets down,
deep and dirty into the heart of any vortex, even into the cellular level of
our body, with subtle body awareness that has the power to transmute and be
reborn.
On an elemental note, Water is a
living structure that gets depressed when polluted. It’s the same with us; the
more polluted our water the more likely we are to be low energy. Each minute
cell of water is like a pane of information that ‘holds’ vibration and
resonance within the ‘shape’ of its structure. Recognising that most living
beings are also made of 70% water, we now know it is not the constitution of
water, H2O, which is important, but the structure water creates as it weaves
and waves and changes in flow, spin and vibration. Each drop of water within
and without can be also purified in many ways by going through a change in
structure, from gas to liquid, for instance, or solid to liquid, as well as by
the power of intent, thought, mantra and word. One drop of water is actually a
treasure to cherish, a potentially beautifully-charged hexagonal star shaped
celebration of life, in love, with thanks (as per late water Guru Masaru
Emoto).
With Cosmic Life-Coach Jupiter in
Scorpio for most of 2018, ‘Fixed Water’ will provide celestial keys for
conscious personal growth and collective regeneration. As the winds of change alter
directions and currents, the water within the heart wells of purified loved
will transform.
✶ And while this is the Full Moon I would usually advise to look out for
obsession, jealousy, hidden desires, certain fascinations have now naturally
reached a point of sudden change, especially those desires appertaining to
relationship and finances, beauty and bravery. Go easy now. Particular
associated might find such change disruptive. Be aware the Venus opposition
Uranus, freedom-closeness dilemma is rearing its head, for relationships with
loved ones as well as peer groups could make everyone now question the freedom
to be one self. Thus, events around this Full Moon could reverberate until
Easter 2018, when Venus and Uranus come together again.
✶ Closing this longer than usual Full Moon report from the Halloween Full
Moon illuminating our collective and personal resources, as each of Earth’s
hemispheres now begin to circle towards the Wheel-Turning Solstice Yule, when
we will be welcoming of ‘Time Lord’ Saturn into his very own Capricorn
domain(to join Pluto 2020): a very interesting evolutionary time indeed!
Before that, however, Buddhists will
be celebrating Lhabab Duchen, and Buddha's descent from the Realm of the 33,
November 10th, at the last quarter moon 💙🙏💦
Sending LOVE on the moonbeams and
thanks for Buddha Nature image 🙏💚
