This particular square of the Moon to the Sun will be something more, evoking the big picture behind all current astrology and what the development of that picture means in your life and the lives of others. The big picture is a continuous square from the Aries lair of Uranus to Pluto’s Capricorn crag. More precisely, it’s a series of seven exact Uranus-Pluto squares that started on June 24, initiating a discernible epoch of astrology that will elapse over nearly three years.<\/p>\n
How events of the next three years will correlate with the Uranus-Pluto epoch is the big question. Each corresponding aspect along the way functions to develop an answer. This week’s lunar last quarter corresponds in two ways, the nature of the aspect and the quality of sign.<\/p>\n
The nature of a square is in how you feel it. Frequently, there will be a tension felt inwardly but construed as having a source outside of yourself. The first step in navigating the tension is to be present to it. It is easy to speak of awareness. It is not easy to practice being conscious of what you feel in the moment. Indeed, it is probably more difficult to be mindful now that it has ever been in human history.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mindfulness begins with paying attention to where you are and what you are doing. Being present to the here and now is essential to survival in a natural setting. Most of us, however, now reside in conditions that are very unnatural. The one thing that most characterizes your unnatural environment is a huge amount of information coming at you through electronic devices. A good deal of the information overload directed your way is calculated to provoke anxiety, with a message that relief can be obtained by purchasing something. It is no wonder, then, that we have become conditioned to interpret every tension, and its resolution, as originating from without. Being seduced to infer that all anxiety has its source in the outer environment has serious consequences.<\/p>\n
The more you attribute to the outside, the more you give away your power. The more you give away your power, the more helpless you feel. The more helpless you feel, the more you lash out at others. The more you lash out at others, the more isolated you become, and once you are isolated, the cycle starts over as a spiral. The spiral leads to nothing less than slavery, with every minute of your life and every ounce of your energy exploited to enrich a few at the expense of the many. The way to stop the spiral is to reclaim your power, but that has consequences too.<\/p>\n
Reclaiming your power means taking responsibility for the tension you feel inside and for the action necessary to resolve it. It is a simple adjustment of attitude that requires an effort of you that is not so simple. It is difficult to release attachment to years of conditioning. It is easier if you realize you are not alone. Nearly all of us are in the same boat. If the purpose of your effort is to benefit the entire boat and its occupants, your motivation will be greater than yourself, and every bit of power you reclaim will be multiplied as your example inspires others who want a piece of the action.<\/p>\n
Tuesday’s Last Quarter Moon is a good time to start reclaiming your power because it involves the luminaries, and because it is a cardinal square. Unlike Uranus and Pluto, the Sun and Moon are easily seen by anyone with the gift of vision. What you can observe is more easily correlated to your life than the unseen and far away. The luminaries also move faster than Uranus and Pluto, and it is much easier to practice awareness, adjustment and action for a day than for three continuous years. Finally, a cardinal square between the luminaries represents a point where your observations and the feelings that go with them can perceptibly intersect with what would otherwise be too distant and too big to take in all at once.<\/p>\n
When the Sun enters cardinal signs, what you observe is what we all see at the same time. With the initiation of solar Aries and Libra, the experience is of equal light and darkness. The solar presence through Cancer and Capricorn, in turn, finds each and all present to a turning point in the Sun’s apparent motion. It is a simple adjustment of attitude to move from being mindful of those facts to realizing how that awareness connects you to everyone on the face of the Earth. It is another step to understand that the intersection is continuous and that other objects emulate the Sun during their cardinal tenure, expanding the continuity to all the things those objects symbolize, up to and including you.<\/p>\n
The Aries Moon’s last quarter will thus be a small, accessible piece of something much larger, longer and more difficult to grasp. The degree to which you consciously feel your piece of the moment, in the moment, will give you a glimpse of the bigger picture, but that’s not the important part. The important part is what you do with that experience. Your actions, unlike your inner tensions, are visible to others. What others observe of you is more easily correlated to their life than your unseen feelings. If what others see of you is what they want to be, it’s possible they may want to emulate you. If your example inspires others to emulate you, it will be proof that you have reclaimed your power to shape not only your life but the course of events in the years to come. It’s not simple. It’s not easy, but it is possible.
