June 4th Full Moon ,Eclipse, Neptune RX

 As I’m sure everyone has noticed at this point there is much afoot this week in the heavens. There is much talk about the Venus eclipse of the Sun on Tuesday the 5^th but even though that is a rare occurrence it is just a small fragment of everything that’s going on now. So I will list out everything that’s happening right now with the celestial bodies and then I will try to break it down into small bite size pieces and I will keep the math to a minimum [ promise….kinda ].

First of all there are many things happening and shifting right now. As of today, June 4^th we have the following things happening :

1. There is a Full moon at 7:12 a.m. on Monday June 4^th.

2. There is a Lunar Eclipse at the same time, these both effect 14 degrees of Sagittarius and Gemini.

3. Neptune makes a station and goes retrograde at 3 degrees Pisces at 5:03 p.m.

4. Venus is currently retrograde [this only happens once every 18 months ] in Gemini  .

5. The Asteroid Chiron [which was first discovered when it was in the sign of Pisces ] is conjunct Neptune [ the ruler of Pisces ]

6. Uranus is within a degree of an exact square with Pluto .

7. There is a muteable Grand square between Chiron  in Pisces [ with Neptune conjunct Chiron but outside of the Grand square ] , the South Node of the Moon and the Sun in Gemini  [ with Venus  and mercury also conjunct  the Sun but outside of the Grand Square ] the North Node of the Moon in Sagittarius and Mars in Virgo.

8. Chiron in Pisces is opposite to Mars in Virgo .

9.  On Tuesday Venus eclipses the Sun but this may have more Astronomical than Astrological value …but we shall see.

10. Also currently almost all of the planets and major luminaries are in muteable signs.

Okay when you have this many things happening at once you have to break them down into smaller pieces for them to make any sense . I will try to make this simple without my usual rambling and spouting off of numbers and geometry phrases [ probably ] .

1. There is a Full moon at 7:12 a.m. on Monday June 4^th.

       The Full Moon usually brings things to a head, anything started at the new Moon [ roughly  2 weeks ago ] comes to a head or fruition at the Full Moon . people are more emotional and intense usually at this time. The effects of this will decrease after early this morning.

2. There is a Lunar Eclipse at the same time, these both effect 14 degrees of Sagittarius and Gemini.

     This one ups no. 1 above. Eclipses push things in the direction they’re already headed . What houses or what in your chart is at or near 14 degrees of Sag or Gemini ? This is where the action in your chart will be. If this hits hard in your chart these effects may be felt for awhile afterwards.

3. Neptune makes a station and goes retrograde at 3 degrees Pisces at 5:03 p.m.

     Neptune rules Pisces and this is our imagination, compassion, dream life as well as faith, spirituality and intuition. On the physical reality level it rules Water and the Oceans and is one of the rulers of Nature.  When a planet goes Retrograde it is slowing down and it’s focus is becoming more focused and intense. On the challenging side Neptune rules addiction and victimization and disillusionment. The effects of this will be felt for up to a week on the other side of this station however Neptune will be in Pisces for the next 14 years and its effects will be felt frequently throughout .

4. Venus is currently retrograde [this only happens once every 18 months ] in Gemini  .

 When Venus is retrograde we often encounter things or people from our past . Also we are asked to examine what is important to us and what do we need on an internal level to sustain ourselves. Venus will turn direct on june 26^th.

5. The Asteroid Chiron [which was first discovered when it was in the sign of Pisces ] is conjunct Neptune [ the ruler of Pisces ].

 Chiron is the wounded healer symbolically.  Chiron is how we heal ourselves holistically, how we heal the Earth and how we help others . Being conjunct Neptune and both being in the sign of Pisces this should increase our empathy and our ability to deepen our compassion and help heal or psychic wounds as well as intuitively help others heal theirs. Chiron will be in Pisces for about another 4 years and it will be conjunct Neptune until early 2013.

6. Uranus is within a degree of an exact square with Pluto .

   We are earlish in this cycle in which Uranus and Pluto make 7 exact squares . As we approach each of  these exact squares we will see political struggles and revolution come further to the forefront  as the power structures of our world are redefined . This cycle lasts until 2018 .

7. There is a muteable Grand square between Chiron  in Pisces [ with Neptune conjunct Chiron but outside of the Grand square ] , the South Node of the Moon and the Sun in Gemini  [ with Venus  and mercury also conjunct  the Sun but outside of the Grand Square ] the North Node of the Moon in Sagittarius and Mars in Virgo.

 The short version of this is … The Nodes of the Moon are known as the Karmic Axis. The South Node is past Karma we’ve brought into this life to work on and the North Node is what we’re supposed to be working towards. These 2 are always in opposition , you are moving from the past [ South Node ] to the present [ North Node ] .

The North Node is now in Sagittarius which correlates with Truth and Nature and the big picture.

The South Node is currently in Gemini which gathers little details of information to add to it’s knowledge database to eventually create it’s own belief system.

We talked about the Chiron and Neptune conjunction in Pisces above in number  5.

Mars in Virgo is all about making corrections , seeing what doesn’t work, improving health and keeping the system working better in general.

So to put this into a coherent message  [ if it’s not too late for that ] this configuration is all about  cleansing ourselves physically [ Mars in Virgo  ] and psychically [ Chiron in Pisces ]from past trauma [ South Node and Sun in Gemini ] and pushing ourselves  [ mars ]to form the best reality that we can imagine [ Pisces ] as we become more attuned with Nature [ Pisces and Sag ]and our true selves [ Sag ].

8. Chiron in Pisces is opposite to Mars in Virgo.

 Pisces and Virgo are opposites, Chiron is how we heal ourselves and Mars is how we operate on an instinctual level . Mars is also the leading edge of our desires which urge us to move forward as a species and as individuals. With Chiron and Mars there are great strides to be made but great understanding to  do this while they are in opposition.

 The key to this transit is to be courageous [ Mars ] enough to confront our mental fears  [ Chiron ] so that we may explore our old wounds again so that they may be healed.

 There are a few more weeks left in this transit.

9.  On Tuesday Venus eclipses the Sun but this may have more Astronomical than Astrological value …but we shall see.

This last happened in June of 2004 and before that the last time was in 1882 , the next time after Tuesday will be in 2125.

This will be neat to look at and will reiterate the Venus themes listed under no. 4 . What is really important to us ? what do we need to sustain ourselves?  How can we love ourselves and each other  more?

10. Also currently almost all of the planets and major luminaries are in muteable signs.

  Okay there are 3 modalities in Astrology .  Muteable,  Cardinal and Fixed. The story I like to use is The Cardinal signs [ Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn ]  initiate the change in the world, The Fixed signs [ Taurus, Leo, Scorpio , Aquarius ]build the change in the world and the Muteable signs [ Virgo, Gemini, Sag, Pisces ] feel the results of the changes in the world .

Normally there is somewhat of a balance [ reasonably at least ] between the modalities represented at any time . Right now is not normal . The main Luminaries and Planets I use are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter , Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, the North and South Nodes and Chiron. That’s 13 total so balance would be about 4 each in all 3 of the modalities. Right now 9 of the 13 are in Muteable , 1 in Fixed and 3 Cardinal and Jupiter which is I Earth will be moving into Gemini on June 11^th. Now the Moon and the inner planets change frequently so this lineup will change but for this moment in time we occupy right now …very muteable.

So what does that mean when everything is so muteable ? Well that’s that shaky feeling out there that a lot of people are feeling , like nothing is settled , everything is very fluid. Bad news is that kinda sucks if you are wanting security and stability right now, basic Human emotions, nothing to be ashamed of .  Now if things haven’t been going so well for you and you need to move some things around..well that’s the good news, things are very fluid and easy to move around right now. When there’s a lot of fixed energy it’s hard to get any motion going. Now when there’s a lot of Cardinal energy out there it’s easy to initiate things and to start new projects but harder to finish things.

Now , the other thing that’s happening with this is that we’re getting a flash forward to what we can expect in July where we will be having  a T- square followed by a Grand Square in Muteable planets while the Cardinal Planets  do the reverse. This will be in full force July 17^th-27^th as the Olympics start.

In general this will be a time of great shifting and movement and if we alert to the energies we can make substantial progress in a very short period of time.

I will have a blog out regarding the events in July as we approach it.

Until then I will get more info out to you quicker as the events of 2012 start to unfold. Enjoy the freedom and flexibility for now.
