<\/dt>\nThe indication, and its use, will largely derive from how the Capricorn Full Moon will find the Sun only days away — and the Moon hours away — from the midpoints between the perpetually opposed lunar nodes.<\/p>\n
One of astrology’s uses as a tool is to locate where you are in your life. Just as in the everyday world, orientation through astrology begins with the luminaries: Sun and Moon<\/p>\n
The actual Sun, in its risings, settings and path across the sky, orients you to the primary directions (North, South, East and West), as well as to the time of year.<\/p>\n
Similarly, the actual Moon, in its risings, settings and phases, provides information about both the directions and time of month.<\/p>\n
When you locate the symbolic Sun or Moon on the zodiac at or near a midpoint between two objects, similar deductions are possible. The inferences are made by how astrology interprets midpoints in general, as well as in the special and specific case represented by the lunar nodes. \u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In general, the midpoint between any two objects on the zodiac represents a threshold, border, boundary, center or axis of the relationship between the two objects in question.<\/p>\n
The Sun halfway between two objects on the zodiac supports conscious awareness of how the two combine or relate to each other. Conversely, the Moon at midpoint offers intuitive insight into the combination or relationship presented. \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
In particular, the midpoints between the perpetually opposing lunar nodes have an importance, value, and even a name all their own. The story begins with what the lunar nodes are, and proceeds with how they are important.<\/p>\n
The two lunar nodes are not tangible objects, but rather points of intersection that can be interpreted as objects. From out in space, one would see the two intersections where the Moon’s orbit around Earth ascends above and descends below the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun.<\/p>\n
From a terrestrial perspective, the nodes are where the respective solar and lunar paths in the sky may cross. Usually, the Sun and Moon do not cross through the intersection of their paths at the same time. When they do, eclipses happen. That’s the most important thing to remember about the lunar nodes: they are the points of intersection where eclipses take place.<\/p>\n
From the viewpoint provided by looking at the zodiac circle, the Sun (which makes a complete circuit of all 12 signs once a year), encounters one of the slow-moving and perpetually opposing lunar nodes every six months. When the Moon, in its monthly circuit of the 12 signs, comes around to either conjoin or oppose the solar encounter with a node — voila! An eclipse.<\/p>\n
Hence the Sun nearly halfway between biannual encounters with the lunar nodes means we are about midway between the eclipses of last April and next October. That itself is not an unusual event. It happens twice a year and is referred to as the Sun at “the bending” of the nodes.<\/p>\n
What is unusual is to have the Moon opposing the Sun (and at the other midpoint, or “bending”) at pretty much the same time.<\/p>\n
Implicitly, for Saturday’s Capricorn Full Moon, the lunar nodes will also be at the midpoints between the solar and lunar opposition. That’s a lot of reiteration on the theme of your being midway through something in your life.<\/p>\n
It’s also a lot of support from the sky in helping you to both consciously and intuitively translate the midpoint theme to locate where you are in your life right now, especially in relationship to the time frame the immediately preceding and impending eclipses provide.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the ascending (or “North”) lunar node is now in cardinal Libra, and the descending (or “South”) node is now in cardinal Aries.<\/p>\n
That means the axis that connects the nodes across the zodiac will combine with the axis connecting the opposing luminaries on Saturday to create yet another iteration of the recurring grand cardinal cross (or square) you have been reading about here at Planet Waves all this year.<\/p>\n
The grand cardinal cross combination represented by the orientation of the Cancer Sun, Capricorn Full Moon and lunar nodes to each other also supports orienting you. Especially so if you consider how this entire year may be a midpoint in an even longer, larger time frame beyond what even eclipses can delineate.<\/p>\n
To paraphrase a line from Joni Mitchell’s song “Woodstock,” the Capricorn Full Moon this weekend is apparently combining to indicate not only a time of year, but also an auspicious time for our kind.<\/p>\n
Saturday’s Full Moon will apparently have something to do with what you can both consciously apprehend and intuitively feel.<\/p>\n
Indications are the impending luminary opposition also corresponds to both what happened for you in April and what you can contribute to create in October.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, whatever you are midway through now as an individual is implicitly intersecting with some sort of midpoint for our species.<\/p>\n
That’s a lot of data from one Full Moon. The information is useful in many ways, but in one way most of all.<\/p>\n
The Sun, Moon and their points of intersection are combining this weekend to say that you and the rest of us are not at an end to be discouraged about.<\/p>\n
Rather, you and the rest of us are to be encouraged by both knowing and sensing how we are somehow, some way, inseparably together and midway through something that transcends individual circumstance, history and possibly even what we call death. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
That’s what this particular Capricorn Full Moon will have to say about where you, and the rest of us are. Now it is for you to take that information, and persevere to do something worthy of the special moment we are all so privileged to share.<\/p>\n
