After separating from a trine to Jupiter at about 11:30 pm EDT Tuesday, the Moon is once again void of course until it enters Sagittarius at Wednesday at 11:23 am EDT and the Full Moon sequence begins. This 12-hour phase may have the feeling of being mentally or emotionally adrift. However, don’t force any decisions. During that time, the Moon makes an opposition to asteroid Juno at 5:22 am EDT. The somewhat obvious question is, to what extent is what you may be feeling either about jealousy or, alternately, about not expressing your emotional needs? That may be a difficult question to confront, though it may confront you and it’s probably worth a thoughtful response. Yet when the Moon enters Sagittarius at 11:23 am EDT the whole sensation may vanish like it was not there. That may feel strange — that it’s possible to suddenly be so optimistic. Though you can expect a few more unusual emotional experiences as the Moon approaches full phase between now and overnight Thursday to Friday. Many aspects are about to unfold, including the Moon making squares to Neptune and Chiron and an unusual number of conjunctions. There is energy moving in the form of feelings, opinions and a quest for self-reflection. You may see yourself in so many different forms that you wonder which of them is really you. They all may be; none of them may be; I suggest you make contact with the one doing the observing. That’s as close as you’re likely to get for the next few days, and it may be all you need.

A moon vacuum of the Course the day of the full moon are opportunities I think release socket to connect to his divine part we have inside us.
Yes I agree with you, so different form to us to choose the right to feel good and at peace with itself even
Excellent full moon to you Eric 😀
I began the week when the Moon was in Scorpio (my natal moon) projecting myself randomly, whilst driving or walking, on various women I’d see.
Now the Moon is in Sadge (my Rising, Venus and Mars) and I find I project on random males I see!
Yes, and, I am wholly comfortable in both guises
“You may see yourself in so many different forms that you wonder which of them is really you. They all may be; none of them may be; I suggest you make contact with the one doing the observing”
I can definitely relate to this one, for sure. Of course, as a Gemini this is a natural process for me. I’m really looking forward to this Full Moon; it coincides with my Solar Return, just three hours past exact opposition of Luna and Sol. This will be an interesting year, a culminating year perhaps. I’m feeling optimistic about it, for sure. Thanks, Sagittarius! 🙂
Good for you Daniel, good for you…
Daniel, Thank you for your post especially when you write “if two people don’t want to fix things themselves and communicate compassionately, why should I want them to”
It reflected a quandary that I found myself in with my siblings & yes it is helpful to be far enough along the path to recognize one’s voice and respond to it’s guidance.
I too have been encouraged from within to walk away(detach) and find my own “truth”. That “truth” came in the form of a phone conversation with an extremely compassionate nurse at my mothers current care facility who shared with me her experiences of being distanced from a love one as their time on this planet is nearing…….
“But it seems incredibly complicated– like I can’t really discern whether I’m acting out of honest need, or if I may have reasons that I’m hiding from myself.”
I can relate to that so much, Elizabeth! Now and most of the time. I think it allows me to keep a sense of humility (or just makes me feel vaguely neurotic. Whatever!)
And then there’s this bit about seeing yourself in so many different forms that you wonder which of them is really you. I have been struggling with this since Saturn began nudging my Sun19Aqu/Moon16Scorp/Asc20Leo T-square last fall, feeling as if my very roots and all that I am is under total reconstruction to the extent that it’s hard to be around people as I can’t quite field their projections – my center feels too shaky, and I start to lose track of who I am. This week, however, I’ve felt some really blissful integration happening. I think it’s because rather than feeling exhausted trying to figure out which ME to be today, I’m being playful with it and wearing my various masks with a little more drama and flair (hello, Leo rising).
The astrology right now feels so rich and inspirational to me. Thanks for giving it so much texture and depth, Eric and PW folks!
The one watching the others has been remarkably present lately. Words to live by. Thx, E.
Yes, I have to agree that ’emotional needs’ are prominent in my experience of these transits, too. But it seems incredibly complicated– like I can’t really discern whether I’m acting out of honest need, or if I may have reasons that I’m hiding from myself. I don’t necessarily mean that I’m being deceptive or manipulative, but being a generally independent type of person, I have to admit I’m freaked out by feeling this sort of longing. And I’m terrified that I may have expressed it honestly without really meaning to reveal so much. I think that goes along with Juno– the fear of communicating too much and losing control.
I’m hoping the shift into Sagittarius (which just happened moments ago) and the following squares to Neptune and Chiron will allow for a little more openness, and self-forgiveness for being a human being. We really can be tough on ourselves, I guess it’s part of our society and part of human relationships. Maybe these mutable signs will offer up a little flexibility to judge ourselves less harshly. Or at least some room to breathe.
Great advice Eric, thanks for these angles. I’ve been confronting some family dynamics since Monday and they are reminding me of when I was very young, being caught between two parents. I’m following my own voice very carefully now and making sure I stay out of material that is not mine. It took some courage, and is. The “truth” is so elusive about this whole thing too. There is a huge missing piece and I have a “reflex” to try and fix it. It’s just way too big for me. I would be dragged down in such a heap of emotional mess, I would end up chronically sick just like I was when I was 10. If two people don’t want to fix things themselves and communicate compassionately, why should I want them too? I walk away…
Dearest Eric…
Feeling the inner alchemy can be challenging with the daily struggle of keeping
It together! Thankfully, as the ebb and flow of the tides…this too shall pass!
Peace and love,
Patricia
Hi Eric and everybody,
‘about not expressing your emotional needs’… this sentence opens a world for me, and possibly the understanding of Juno at 0+ in Aries at my birth. It’s the only object or planet that I have on the Aries point, and I have been wondering if it could kind of ‘set a theme’… these words really speak to me. Thank you.
