Full Moon January 12 2017
This Full Moon is a particularly potent and dynamic one. It highlights the Cancer/Capricorn axis and, therefore, the emphasis is on finding some kind of balance between the Moon, representing emotions we hold on deeply to and with the Sun, representing the image of ourselves we tend to put out into the public domain. Because the Full Moon is exact not long before noon in the UK, the Sun sits high in the sky. It is also sitting alongside Pluto, planet of transformation, which suggests that perhaps the image of ourselves that is being transformed is not currently true to the truth. However, before we get transformation some kind of behaviour pattern needs to die so that it can indeed transform and be reborn as something which actually will serve us in a more positive fashion.
We are surrounded by difficult energies right now and I know that some people are going through some particularly challenging times. This is reflected in the sky with an ongoing aspect between Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto which will manifest through 2017. However, because the Sun has moved in to highlight Pluto and the Moon sits opposite, we now have these planets making up a full square and we are faced with a particularly dynamic situation. This is a square which wants some action though which makes it particularly volatile. We are in a period of change on a massive scale and to be honest it is difficult to second guess exactly how this will manifest short term. This period of massive change is exactly why here in the UK we have Brexit and in the US we have President Trump. Things are being turned on their head and the people are saying they just don’t want the continuation of the same old policies and the same old fat cat elite. We could see some kind of financial restrictions ahead, and/or some kind of large scale upset involving influences which are hidden from us in some way.
Full Moons tend to bring whatever has been concealed into full view, it is when things happen – when we reap what has been sown. What can be done on an individual level to navigate the storms? Firstly, it is important not to act rashly. This is not the time to act on the spur of the moment but more it is a time to delve into our unconscious and truly think about what is important and to use both head and heart to make a truly balanced decision. Truly listen to what that balance between heart and head says and use that wisdom to learn and grow. Question what is happening around you rather than just jump to a usual conclusion.
This Full Moon chart is set for London. It highlights the importance of successful negotiations and diplomacy towards the keeping of peaceful entente. Our government is at the moment riding some difficult waters with regard to Brexit, much of which is kept secret from us. We are also seeing high terror threats and we can only hope that nothing of this kind hits our shores. Quite apart from the personal devastation caused by such events our economy is fragile and would be badly hit by such an occurrence.
So at this time delve into the unconscious and examine what needs to change. Find the balance between head and heart and grow and become wiser from that point. Then take any necessary action once you have truly been honest with yourself in order to make the necessary transformations within you.
