The Star of Hearing: The Full Moon of August 2006
happens on Wednesday, August 9, at 3:55am Pacific Time, in the lunar sign of Shravana. According to vedic astrology, this full moon takes place in the ending degrees of Capricorn.
Observing a full moon taking place in a particular lunar sign is sort of like observing the state of our country under a particular president - the energies, and intentions, and values of the president are broadcast through his administration, the legislation formed under him, the quality of order he brings to the affairs of the country, and so on.
Under the rulership of Shravana, the full moon's intention is to establish order. Shravana does this through employing an amicable, humble, socially respectful persona, and listening intently to what is really going on. Then waiting for the right opportunity, and bringing an order to the situation at hand.
Shravana is a constellation which is linked to "putting people on their appropriate paths in life". The order that is Shravana's agenda often comes through talent scouting your network of friends and associates, and forming mutually beneficial alliances. If this sounds opportunistic, well, that's part of Shravana's energies too.
Oftentimes the situations may feel overwhelmingly chaotic, and unworkable. But during the Shravana full moon, much may come to light that will reveal possible solutions to anarchical situations.
The Sun's conjunction with Saturn and the Moon's conjunction with Neptune add a further flavor of tension to this full moon. Issues of security (and the feeling of insecurity) are likely to be knocking on everyone's emotional door to some degree. (Hint: You don't have to answer the door.)
Capricorn is a sign linked with government, and this full moon in Capricorn is likely to find governments and parties pursuing "order at any cost," surrounding issues of national security and land. The media may be particularly full of gossip on Wednesday 8/9 - be discriminating about what you choose to listen to.
And to put this in context, remember that a full moon comes around once every 28 days, so this quality of energy peaks around Wednesday morning, 8/9, and dwindles until the New Moon two weeks later begins a new cycle, fulfilling the next full moon's agenda.
Planning & Scheduling: Living In Accord With The Seasons
The astrological landscape includes Saturn conjunct the Sun in the sign of Cancer, from July 17 until Aug. 16, which compels us all to be a little more responsible, serious, and hardworking.
Saturn conjoins Venus in Cancer on Aug. 27. We may feel a little formal in our affections, unsure of our lovability, awkward in our style. On the other hand, this same transit may bring a commitment to manifesting the creative muse within each of us.
Saturn in exact opposition to Neptune from Aug. 29 - 31: This transit point is the first of three oppositions made by these two planets with very opposite energies. Where this transit occurs in your chart, will represent an area of life in which you may feel a little stretched by your own, inner, conflicting needs for right brain vs left brain approaches.
Full moon on August 9, New Moon on August 23
The two weeks of the waxing Moon, Mon. 7/24 - Wed. 8/9 are good for:
* initiating important projects
* achieving goals
The two weeks of the waxing Moon, Mon. 7/24 - Wed. 8/9 are a time to:
* rebuild
* go inward
* gather energy
The evening of the new moon, Wednesday August 23, is particularly powerful for meditation, and silence.
Lunar Eclipse on Sept. 9 and Solar Eclipse on Sept. 22: The energy of eclipses is best understood in the metaphor of the light of the sun and moon being "overshadowed". Thus, these dates, (and the period between the two dates) is to be avoided for advancing your life's material affairs, and to be used for promoting your life's spiritual affairs.
Mercury goes retrograde from Oct. 29, 2006 until Nov. 17, 2006
Do while Mercury's retrograde:
* reconnect with old friends
* revisit older ideas
* edit and review art projects, writing projects, photo albums
* clean up your hard drive (back it up first!)
Avoid signing contracts, embarking on journeys, or scheduling yourself too tightly, until Mercury's direct. (Appointments tend to change, events have a higher chance of being canceled, information gets lost..)
