Default Full moon in Leo- 1/29/10 at 10:18pm PST

the upcoming full moon is a dynamic one and many are feeling the firey energy percolate as i write! there are many reasons for this, a big one being that while the sun and moon are in opposition (which always happens during a full moon) both venus and mars are aligned with the sun and moon respectively, amping up the energy of this lunation and taking relationship dynamics to new heights as well as new depths. the sun and moon are symbolic of the masculine and feminine principle, and so are venus and mars (feminine and masculine respectively). on friday's full moon we have the sun aligned with venus, both in aquarius, while the moon is aligned with retrograde mars, both in leo- taking masculine and feminine and aligning them as well as opposing them, generating some intense energy!

oppositions are symbolic of relationship- just as yin and yang, dark and light, within and without implies two things that are opposite yet complimentary, the opposition aspect implies connection and reflection of one thing upon another. typically full moons are highly charged emotionally speaking because we have the conscious self and ego (sun) completely illuminating the unconscious and emotions (moon), which brings things that began at the new moon (which was the solar eclipse on january 14th) to fruition and climax. when things have not been worked on and worked out properly in the past two weeks there can be a sense of things coming to a head at the full moon- hence the common experience of heightened emotion and intensity. but because this full moon has the Divine Lovers involved as well that emotional intensity is amplified. particularly with the Divine Masculine/warrior planet of mars being retrograde, his outgoing, confident, driven energy is being curtailed and channeled within. with mars on the moon that can add energy and dynamism to this full moon, as well as anger, aggression, irritation and accidents. so be aware!

the Divine Lovers in opposition is not always a bad thing, it just depends on how the energy is already flowing in your life. if you are having conflicts with loved ones, lovers, friends, family, whomever- or if you are conflicted within, feeling torn between two things, then these two in oppositional aspect can create even more tension and things can come to a head. mars in leo is usually proud and confident- and at times arrogant, but his being retrograde actually has him feeling less sure of himself and his insecurity can rear its ugly head. being conscious of your energy expression during this full moon is advised, as things can escalate and get out of hand if you don't take time to count to ten and breathe! but if things are going smoothly in your life and you are doing the work the new moon/solar eclipse asked of you (you should have an idea of what that is by now!) then the Divine Lovers in opposition can amplify creativity, passion, sexuality and Love. either way, when venus and mars contact each other sparks fly!

to add to the forceful energy of this full moon both saturn and uranus aspect the luminaries. saturn harmoniously aspects the sun and moon (as well as venus and mars) and uranus tensely aspects them. saturn governs the new moon/solar eclipse in capricorn that occurred on january 14th. capricorn energy is all about foundations and building things. with capricorn we are asked to be responsible, mature, committed and focused on what is right for us. both capricorn and saturn have an energy that prunes us. what is no longer appropriate for our life is asked to be released so that we can start a new foundation based on only that which serves our highest good. with saturn in harmonious aspect to this full moon we have the anchoring, stability and wisdom of saturn helping us to come to climaxes in our life and release some part of our past. with mars retrograde there is an aspect of karma that is involved in what is going on in our lives- and wisdom is required to realize what that is exactly and how to deal with it. some way of being or pattern you've lived all your life is needing to be released. this is deep work and not easy, but quite profound if you take on the challenge!

uranus, on the other hand, is all about change, sudden reversals, illumination and awakening. uranus' tense aspect to the sun and moon (venus and mars) brings in an erratic, uncontrollable energy to events. this is the energy that upsets the apple cart. where you have been plodding along and not making the necessary changes, uranus comes in and forces your hand. 'on the road to enlightenment there are many tempting parking spots'. uranus does not want you to park. he wants you to MOVE. and in aspect to this full moon movement will be had- so it's best to be in alignment with your highest good and choose the movement rather than have it chosen for you

the saturn/pluto square also factors into the full moon chart, and it will factor into any chart that is drawn between november of last year and august of this year as these two are in tense aspect for 9 months. the first contact occurred november 15th of last year and the second is happening this sunday, january 31st, two days after the full moon. all throughout this week this energy has been building up, along with the full moon and the mars/venus opposition. there is a current moving through this week and it's laced with intensity, change, death and rebirth (symbolically speaking), and transformation. saturn in libra is teaching us valuable lessons about partnership, balance, boundaries in relationship, and compromise. libra is the sign of the Divine Feminine, so learning how to be in connection with our yin sides (both within and without) is key. pluto in capricorn is instigating massive destruction, regeneration, and transformation of structures in our lives. this relates to business, government, finance, stability, convention, tradition, and patriarchal consciousness. capricorn is a sign that has the tendency to stick with something long past its due-date, but with pluto in that sign many things that felt like they'd last forever are falling apart. these two in tense aspect are initiating major shifts in structures in our lives, relationships, business, and life path focus. there is a lot to look at and deal with and at times it can feel overwhelming, but we are rewarded in doing the work asked of us. we each should have an idea of what this is, but if you don't this weekend you will get some major signs! so pay attention

as you can see this full moon is one for the books! but considering all the intense astrological energy that has percolating in the heavens it seems par for the course of late, no? full moons are illuminations of the unconscious, times where revelations can be had. what reveals itself can be shocking, but it can also be liberating. and the sabian symbol that the sun falls on in this sun/moon opposition chart symbolizes this beautifully. the sabian symbol for 11 aquarius is 'during a silent hour, a man receives new inspiration which may change his life.' this full moon could change your life! but you have to allow those changes in take time to go within, be silent, and listen for inspiration.

I've studied and followed astrology for many, many years. And I have my favorite astrologers like Rick Levine and Robert Hand, and have marveled at the accuracy of vedic and chinese astrology forms. But in the past year or so, forecasts for me personally don't seem to have a thing to do with me. I mean, not even close. I wonder if others are having this experience?
