On Saturday at 12:25 am EDT is the Sagittarius Full Moon. It is the last of the three spring eclipses, this one a lunar eclipse with the Moon in early Sagittarius and the Sun opposite in early Gemini. We are being asked by this Full Moon to go beyond any doubts we may have about whether we\u2019ve made progress trying to change emotional patterns, and to acknowledge how far we have in fact come. <\/p>\n

Eclipses are opportunities to make desired progress in our lives, often in quantum leaps. They also facilitate the changing of old patterns and habits that aren\u2019t serving us, and the creation of new ones. <\/p>\n

We have been through a series of eclipses since the end of April; if you have felt like you\u2019ve been moving through multiple doorways, you\u2019re not alone. <\/p>\n

Each new door takes us to a very different type of landscape, though there have been common themes around emotional and sexual healing and how we approach the concept of value, particularly our own. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s like we\u2019ve been able to visit the same material from multiple viewpoints, allowing us to get a detailed picture of what we\u2019re working through and how we can restructure our lives to more closely align with who we are at our very core. With this lunar eclipse occurring between Sagittarius and Gemini, we get a picture of the relationship in our lives between information and meaning. The Moon and the Sun represent two different ways of collecting information — through our emotional and physical senses. <\/p>\n

If the Sun in Gemini loses touch with the bigger picture, with the value of the information it is gathering, then everything can seem trivial or meaningless. Information and facts gain value from being placed in context, which the Moon in Sagittarius provides. Sagittarius brings to the equation a reminder of the importance of understanding the value and purpose of information, and seeing the larger picture within which information fits. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During the Full Moon, Neptune in Pisces is square both the Sun and the Moon. This aspect is bringing us into contact with any doubts about where we have been and where we are going. There is something here about getting underneath, around and behind that doubt, and seeing it for what it is. Once you understand that it is just a feeling not a fact, you can do something about it. <\/p>\n

Aspects to Neptune can bring a lack of clarity and difficulty feeling solid or present, but Neptune can also be used to dissolve blockages and barriers. The key here is not to assume you actually lack something because you feel a sense of questioning, or feel like you have not arrived yet. Rather, push on through and use the slippery quality of Neptune to slip around the sensation of uncertainty or lacking. <\/p>\n

You can get on with where you wish to go, and Saturn is providing extra traction through a trine to Neptune. Trines are aspects where the energy is available; we just need to reach for it. Barbara Hand Clow described trines as you \u201cuse it or lose it.\u201d Discipline is required to use what is available — in this case, the grounded ability to move beyond doubts you hold rather than getting lost in the feeling. <\/p>\n

We are being called to move beyond any uncertainties about our process of growth and our inherent value, and whether we have made progress. We need to reach for this energy through understanding (and thereby controlling) our emotions rather than being the one controlled by them. The reach is not that far; all you need is some focus and to hold your vision.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s lunar eclipse is helping us expand our viewpoint to see the larger landscape of our lives, rather than getting lost in the details or small hurdles. Having a view of the \u2018bigger picture\u2019 gives the ability to see your options; over the Full Moon you have a lot of options available to you. See these options and make conscious choices to move beyond any doubts about the work you\u2019ve been doing. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been through a process of reworking how we access and experience our emotions, as well as reassessing the role value plays in our lives. Honoring your inherent value means not holding back who you are because of fearful thought-forms that suggest you will not be accepted. If you accept yourself, others will, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
