Generally speaking though, the Full Moon creates a stark contrast between two key areas in our personal lives:
By the Cancer Sun’s light, our conscious will is to make ourselves emotionally happy and secure. We want a safe, comfortable home, harmonious marriage, happy family, well-functioning domestic order, a steady and reliable world to hold us. The Sun is our authority – the decision making figure in our lives. He emanates his energy and light from within, does not seek to do this using anybody else’s help and support. We either personally identify as resonating with this energy or we assign someone (or something) in our lives as he who shall generate these Cancerian qualities for us. The Sun in this equation is challenged by the dark, transformative forces of Pluto and the expansionist philosophies of righteous Jupiter.
This is a critical, turning point for all of us. The Moon’s conjunction to Pluto at 18°♑09′ makes this lunation a emotionally precarious time, especially for sensitive egos whose inner nature is filled with complexities. Anything hidden underneath the surface (possibly built up over an entire lifetime of suppressed emotions, traumatic episodes around authorities/parenting, limitations and frustrations in general) could suddenly erupt without so much as a moment notice. Emotionally triggering events – little things that set off years of repression and disempowerment could suddenly unleash torrential rage and fury, unfurled without any discrimination or mercy for its absolutely devastating effects.
In some way, the Moon/Pluto’s contrast (opposition) to the instinctive, supportive Cancer Sun will see a sweet release of years of trauma and pain after years of eating away at our suppressed inner child. Whilst it cannot be restrained, filtered or mitigated, it can be managed with enough tender care and intuitive understanding. However, if efforts are made to resist the outpour of seemingly uncontrollable emotion – and with the Cancer Sun conjunct Mars, there could be attempts to muscle over, sanction or ignore – the effects could be as catastrophic as a volcano, violently spewing lava onto everything that surrounds. In this, it promises the onset of renewal and regeneration, not just on a personal level – but for the planet and humankind as a whole.
It is possible during this Full Moon that we may relate to one side very strongly and not be able to stand the other side at all, or both, or none at all. It all depends on how caught up we are in the drama and how successful we are at maintaining a neutral state of balance and objectivity in our engagement with even the most personal of our affairs. Given the enormity of the weightedness of this moon however holding a neutral, non-partisan point of view will be most challenging.
In its most impactful contacts (check your chart), the Hades Moon has the mystical power to dredge out some deeply buried, often forgotten, hurtful and haunting memories of our past; evocations of ghosts and painful dramas that can emerge out of the deepest, most repressed and hidden recesses of our psyche. Behavioural issues that stem from perhaps even before our own lifetimes; transgenerational themes and conditions tied to the actions of our ancestors, tribe, nation. Often unresolved ills, atrocities and abuses carry over throughout dynasties, affecting our present-life psychology more than we can comprehend, let alone accept and process.
This moment can be a time when we open up the vault of secrecy and bravely, through the help and guidance of counselling or mediation, uncover some of our most deep-seated frustrations, self-denying behaviours and heart blockages that lead to a certain emotional hardness or limiting of our ability to show empathy.
This explosive dynamic, if not received maturely, can manifest as torrential emotional storms in our most personal affairs. If not approached with some degree of tender handling, using compassionate analysis, extraordinary patience and perseverance to identify the emotional triggers, recovery and reform cannot begin to take place.
Other main themes in this Full Moon play out most fiercely this time. The recent Mars/Pluto opposition (July 2) began to apply intense pressure to bring our masculine, assertive side under control. Triggered by this Moon, should our pressure-packed intent to act instinctively feels thwarted or repressed, the reactive force may erupt with brute force, easily escalating to thermonuclear levels of offense/defense. The resulting drama and its aftermath (fallout) has the power to affect our relationships so extremely that we may finally accept it’s time to change our ways for the better (evolve) or be destroyed for good.
Either way, where Pluto is involved, there’s an interminably ruthless struggle to transform someone. One way or another, whether done with light upon shadow, or darkness over dim-lit souls, a battle to the brutal egoic death could ensue. If this is not handled with caution and maturity, the process (win or lose) could get so dark; ugly; morally and ethically reprehensible that monsters lurking here among us could appear to rise, much closer than we ever imagined…..
…if egos are involved, that is.
Have you have been recently engaged in personal dramas where domination and control, especially where family and security matters are concerned? This may be a time where seismic shifts can bring great resolution. If out of spite or hubris, you refuse to let up and restore others back to their own power, do not be surprised to see them turn their ire and vexation upon you. The massive transformative force held by this lunation, could catch you in a moment of weakness and vulnerability, where all the ills ever committed unto others may conspire, as if at once, revisiting upon your front door….
“A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time. When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, The one I feed the most.”
~ George Bernard Shaw
