Today (or tonight, depending on where you are), the Full Moon in Libra furthers the cardinal sign ambiance that has consistently been the daily tableau since the Vernal Equinox. With frequent emphasis on the first degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra and or Capricorn this pattern is consistent with the events that have taken place in our public and private lives. The political has now become continuously personal. This phenomenon is a clear indicator of a new era.

Before attending to the Full Moon, however, please allow us to pause and consider a rather momentous transit that concluded the eventful week just past. The point that represents the center of our galaxy has clearly and cleanly moved into the twenty-eighth degree of Sagittarius.
When we look at an ephemeris, the Galactic Center, if it is listed at all, is classified as a “fixed” point or “star.” Indeed, it would seem to be so. However, it does in fact progress along the zodiac at the almost imperceptible rate of about one arc minute per year. In other words, it takes over sixty years to move one degree; This is longer than it takes for Saturn to orbit the Sun twice. And it’s not really what’s moving — the Earth is wobbling, creating the illusion of movement.
The Sabian Symbol for Sagittarius 28 is “a splendidly built bridge, a heritage of unknown ages, still spans the beautiful and wildly primitive stream.” This image is consistent with the vision that Eric has forged into his annual editions over the last several years with titles “Bridge to the Core” and “Spiral Door.” It brings us into immediate appreciation of the vision he has unwaveringly held and communicated through Planet Waves.
