Here were are again in an Aries Full Moon, like last month. How come?

On September 23, the Moon was at 0º of Aries, this time at 29º.

The aspects to it from the rest of the planet are not the same. They never are. Things keep moving and changing in the Universe and also inside of us, even if we insist in remaining the same.

Although Aries represents beginnings, the first step, pioneering action, the 29º, is about finishing up, making sure we understand completely what we are about to leave behind, in order to start a new chapter, having learnt the lessons of the present one.

It’s a bit like bringing the flag down to prepare for the next day when we will raise a new flag.

Whatever we have initiated around October 7th for the New Moon, now comes to a closure.

Since this Full Moon is in the angle of Aries-Libra, we must find the balance between what and who we are as opposed to who we are in relation to the other.

The cardinal signs and especially Aries-Libra have been hit quite a lot recently and it isn’t over just yet. Cancer and Capricorn too.

The Sun contacts Neptune and Chiron shining a lights in the areas we must find some healing for in ourselves and in the relationship. What do we have to take care of before we can relate in a healthy manner.

For those relationships coming to an end, the message is that of healing and acceptance. The compassion of Neptune and Chiron should not apply only to others, but also to ourselves.

The understanding of what it is that the “other” represents in our lives and what qualities are those that we seem to benefit from by being with the other, is a clear message of what we need to integrate in our lives.

On the other hand, the Moon contacts Pluto, as if we were to be reminded that in order to feel empowered and complete, we must confront our dark side. There is no freedom or happiness without going through the dark areas of our psyche first.

It is normally through a relationship that we encounter the inner beast, through jealousy, envy, possessiveness.

If we don’t do the journey through Pluto and our inner Underworld and confront the beast,  it will for ever lurk  from the darkness, victimizing us.

The Sun is 4º away from Mercury in Scorpio, so this is the ideal time to speak up, to dare to open your heart and say what you feel, without fear, with resolution.

If we never say how we really feel, the result is loneliness and isolation.

Pluto is in line with the Moon Nodes, rendering a kind of inevitability to the events of this week end.

Something feels extremely karmic and fated about what we are experiencing.

The Myth of Persefone comes to mind, and the initial powerlessness she felt, until she found her place within her Fate.

One thing is for sure, we cannot make someone love us, we cannot make them do  what they do not want to do. But we can definitely re-direct our lives and take decisions to change.

A relationship ends when one of its members stops growing. A kind of stagnation comes before the decision is taken to end it.

The understanding  of the limitations of our Free Will is in there somewhere.

Stephen Hawking says in his new book “The grand design”: that Free Will is an illusion.

Jung says: “Free will is the ability to do gladly, that which we must do”

Becoming aware of our limitations is a step forward.

The lesson of this Full Moon perhaps, is then the idea, that we must transcend the little war within the relationship and try to find a balance between Aries and Libra. Between I and YOU.

Stephen Hawking also says in his book:  that according to quantum physics we cannot observe a phenomena without being affected by it.

It makes me wonder what that does to Astronomers who deny Astrology.

USe this time around the Full Moon to ponder about these issues.

Interesting week this coming week! Here we are at the point when Jupiter and Uranus meet again in Pisces, this time exactly at almost 29º. Having met at the end of May near this point and exactly conjuncted at 0º Aries on June 8th, we have been seeing all sort of protests and manifestations and confrontation in the religious world.

The Islamic Center’s construction 2 blocks away from Ground Zero, was one, then the Florida Preacher, who’s threaten with burning copies of the Koran, for S-11′s anniversary, to then desist due to repeated death threats to him and a convincing conversation with the White House. Then came Stephen Hawkins with his new book The Grand Design excluding God from the Creation of the Universe and now, exactly for the Jupiter Uranus conjunction, the Pope visits Scotland and England surrounded by the controversy of the sexual abuse perpetrated by some of the members of the Church and being forced to apologize to the families of the victims and the rest of us.

If we had any doubts that Pisces and Jupiter have to do with our beliefs, they are now over. This is a preparation for the brief entry of Neptune into the sign of the Fishes, in April 2011 where it will stay around the 0º Pisces until the 6th of August when it will dip back into Aquarius until  February 4th, 2012 to then re-enter Pisces until January 2026.

Jupiter and Uranus meet in Pisces when they are both in their retrograde motion. As we have seen with other retrogrades, they seem to bring an opportunity for reflecting on decisions taken or to be taken, for re-thinking situations that need our attention.

Taking into consideration that it is Jupiter and in its own sign of Pisces, Religion is without a doubt one the issues we need to think about as a group of people. As the human group.

As Neptune traveled though Aquarius, we have seen the re-emergence of fanatical religious groups which have caused death and fear to the world.

In the mutual reception of Uranus in Pisces and Neptune in Aquarius, all these amazing nets of Internet social communities have become overwhelming: Facebook, You Tube and the rest of them. It has changed the way we relate and communicate with each other.

When Jupiter and Uranus met in Aries we all got a positive impulse to do something with our lives, and many of us have moved in the right direction. Yet, before these two go back to Aries, we need to re-adjust few things to not to repeat mistakes of the past. If you have not followed the inner impulse for action that the 0º of Aries brought, this is the perfect time to look inside yourself and ask why? What is that part of you that stops you from doing what your heart is asking you to do? Time to establish some kind of dialogue with yourself. In the Northern Hemisphere we had the Summer and that is the moment to stop and relax, yet this is the kind of excuse we give to others but not to “The man in the mirror “, like MJ said.

Jupiter begs for expansion, impulses us to go beyond borders, and Uranus says we can do it just sitting in front of the computer but in a radical fashion. Think Stephen Hawkins.

As the right wing movements in Europe begin to flourish due to problems with immigrants, we need to ask ourselves why this is happening. Most people prefer to stay in their land, if they had a choice. If they are forced to leave, is quite often against their wishes.

If we continue not helping these countries in trouble, and causing wars, what do we expect people to do? Are we really surprised that Iraqis have gone to live somewhere else? Really? Wouldn’t everyone?

Pisces reminds us that never mind our cultural differences, we are all from the only human race on this planet. Jupiter and Uranus in Pisces, remind us that our beliefs have taking us to kill each other. The question is: Until when?

The September Full Moon happens in the 0º of Aries. The degree of action. It triggers the big T-Square, it makes a Grand Cross to the Lunar Nodes.

This feels a little like when you have all the lights on in your house. There is a risk of blowing the electrics. We have to stop and meditate a bit. It’s a wake up call, like most of the events that have been happening since this T-Square started to become very close, about a year ago.

Confrontations will be a real possibility if we refuse to change. We need to realize that these are changing times and although we would love to stay the way we are, never mind how unhappy, this is no longer possible.

For all those brave ones, who have gone to new adventures, the planetary winds will be gentler. However, if you are still trying to hang on to old patterns of living which are not enriching you in any way, the curtain is closing.

Free will consists in doing what you must do, gladly. (C. Jung) and graciously, I may add.

These are strong energetic points when things become so obvious, we would have to be completely blind to our inner calling and headstrong (paralyzed by fear) not to notice.

Fear is OK, but we have to conquer it. It’s only when we do that we acquire Clarity (Don Juan teachings, Carlos Castañeda)

It’s OK to be afraid, life is not easy! So we must  DO anyway!

An Aries Full Moon can be very exciting too, if you use your free will, and choose ACTION!

Have a great one!
