Full Moon tomorrow. According to the United States Naval Observatory, it happens about 8:18 AM Eastern Daylight time, 5:18 AM on the west coast. A Full Moon is an opposition. Sun over here, Moon over there, us here in the middle.<\/p>\n

What’s with the Sun and Moon lately? Seems like most every opposition (Full Moon) and every conjunction (New Moon) they got company. Tomorrow’s Full Moon at eight and a smidgen degrees Scorpio is no exception. This time we find retrograde Mercury smack dab between us and the Sun at the exact same same time we are between the Sun and Moon. Exact means just that. To the degree. There’s a lot to break down with that, but let’s take a look at the big picture for that holistic perspective Chiron in Pisces would want us to have.<\/p>\n

Chiron in Pisces. Chiron in Pisces. Chiron in Pisces. Focus on the detail, find the whole. Focus on the whole, see yourself. Participation has never been a bad idea. The fringe benefit is the opportunity to negotiate. Now it’s no longer an option. Unless you have a spaceship there’s no place to vacate, so you might as well communicate. Next year at this time the practice will come in handy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cardinal point, cardinal point, cardinal point. Uranus opposing Saturn for years. Jupiter catching up with Uranus to join in for the crescendo. Pluto square all three. Put them all in the first degrees of Aries (Uranus and Jupiter there soon), Capricorn (Pluto there already) and Libra (where Saturn will return) and you have a change of season. Not your regular change of season, understand. Not your every three month oscillation between solstice and equinox. We are talking a longer cycle of seasons here: the seasons of history, the seasons of humanity.<\/p>\n

Unlike the seasons of the Sun, the weather for the next seasons of humanity is not a given. We will create it. We are creating it right now. Every little thing you do every little day is not being written in some big book in the sky. Just like that myth every little thing counts, but this time it’s for real. This time it’s here on earth that the record of our deeds will be tallied — in history. That’s<\/em> what life is worth. That’s what you are worth. See yourself as the precious resource you are. Any one of us on any given day, right about now, could make a seemingly insignificant decision that would tip the balance. Play to win, people. Play to win.<\/p>\n

Which brings us back to Chiron in Pisces. Chiron in Pisces. Chiron in Pisces. You think three square aspects between Saturn and Pluto was a lot? You think five oppositions between Uranus and Saturn was a long road? Try seven (yup, seven) square aspects between Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn. One great long continuum of moving through transformation unimagined. Through metamorphosis beyond definition. And right there, hanging out in between in a fortunate sextile to one and a semi-sextile to the other, brother Chiron. Looking out for humanity by teaching us to look out for ourselves.<\/p>\n

Back to the Full Moon, which is applying as you read this. Let’s look at retrograde Mercury’s conjunction with the Sun first. There are several perspectives. First, it’s like the eye of the hurricane when it comes to the retrograde period. The sky of the mind’s eye clears up. The air becomes calm. You can find your socks again. It would do well to remember that the eye of a hurricane is unstable. Don’t get used to it.<\/p>\n

The next thing about the interior conjunction of Mercury is this electricity thing Eric keeps talking about. Mercury is a dynamo, albeit relatively small. Nevertheless, the imposition of Mercury between us and the Sun would see to complete a circuit of one sort or the other. That implies a flow of energy. Flows of energy can be harnessed and converted to work to move things. What would you like to move? Think about it.<\/p>\n

Finally, it’s like Mercury is eclipsing the Sun. It may seem like a joke. Like one of us mortals trying to block the shot of a professional basketball player or trying to tackle an American football player. Nevertheless, imposed between the great star and the goal you are somebody to be aware of. Something to be dealt with. Put it all together and the interior conjunction of Mercury could well represent self-awareness with something to do. Add in retrograde to present you with one more word – memory. That’s brings us to the Moon.<\/p>\n

More than most aspects, the Scorpio Full Moon conjures up the terms “bring it on” and “go there”. The brightest light is shining into the darkest space, then being reflected back. The timid might want to be careful what they ask for and ponder it. It’s what T.S. Eliot had in mind when he named April as the cruelest month (although the Moon opposing the Taurus Sun could just as easily take place in May).<\/p>\n

For those bold enough to jump in with both feet, however, this is a Moon like no other. On one level, Scorpio represents the stuff we share only with accountable professionals and next of kin. Death, sex, taxes and the consequences of engagement with same. The results we can’t look at or the mystery we can’t look away from. That’s the paradox of a fixed water sign. You think that just means frozen water? Think again. On a deeper level it is the beginning of the end which makes another beginning possible. This Full Moon puts that in our face, the interior conjunction of Mercury brings the past up from behind, just in the moment of our fascination, precisely when we are most fixated.<\/p>\n

Inconvenient? Not really. Not if we can pull off a Chiron in Pisces. Pull back for the wide angle view. Focus on the detail at the same time. Don’t lose track of the depth of field. Pass the eye drops.<\/p>\n
