Q: When is a Full Moon not Full? A: When it is being eclipsed.
Visibly, the penumbral lunar eclipse will appear like a minor moon event. At its height (04:22 EST), you might be lucky to see faints shades of a penumbral light-charcoal grey or brownish hue on the moon’s upper edge.
Astrologically though, this eclipse is a major harbinger for a collective evolution since it makes an almost precise alignment to the trans-Neptunian duel going on between Pluto/Eris (transmute or be extinct). I covered the intricacies of this dynamic and its impact on our societies in some detail in my recent newsletter.

This Eclipse and the Total Solar which will follow in two weeks are beaming light from the Sagittarius South Node end, which generally tends to dredge out the worst in us since it’s highlighting all the nasty stuff we need to leave behind.
Also, its ruler, Jupiter, is not only trudging through its most debilitating sign (Capricorn), but besieged between the harsh Saturn and Pluto the jovial Jove is feeling far from jolly.

This is seriously not a time for excesses and grandiose displays of moral righteousness. Big, ‘asshole-type’ moves not only make it easier to be spotted, but adversely more difficult to find our place in society – a calling which seems most critical to ensure our survival.
Whether we like it or not, we must learn to get along, and unless we stop, listen carefully to one another and try to see things from each other’s perspective, we are almost certainly going to find ourselves at war with all our neighbours. Anyway, if you want to put a theory to the test, try to be a bigshot… see what happens.
I will leave it at that for now, reminding you of my newsletter message: If you’re given a choice between being righteous and being kind, take the kind…
Excerpt: “…here’s the crux of this exchange—when does instinct to go your way become self-centred arrogance? When does bluntness become self-sabotage? Because it’s obvious to all but you now. And when exactly did you start confusing your need to be…
Excerpt: “…You don’t need astrology to tell you that things are shifting. The body knows it already—the way your appetite changes without warning, the dreams that break through your composure, the tension in your shoulders that won’t leave, even when…
Excerpt: “…here’s the catch: Clever talk is cheap in an age where ever the robots are spitting out semi-intelligent sound bites. While you can usually finesse both sides of any debate, this lunation doesn’t want finesse. It wants follow-through. You…
Excerpt: “…This is divine agitation—something whispering through the cracks in your mind, in your art, in your cravings and dreams, asking whether you are ready to stop performing devotion and start becoming dangerous. You can’t trust what you see right…
Excerpt: “…You know, this isn’t just about your life. It’s about your reign. You are watched. You are listened to. You are—whether you like it or not—regarded as the Sun, the spiritual leader around which others orbit. Your proclamations are…
Excerpt: “…People are tired. That’s the quiet subtext of this Full Moon, and no doubt you are too. But the part that stings—the part that keeps you awake—is the sense that those around you aren’t grateful. That despite all your…
Excerpt: “..Let’s not mince this: they’ve had enough. Not of your charm, not of your talent, not even of your peacemaking per se. They’re tired of the way you pretend to agree in the room and then hedge the moment…
Excerpt: “..The dissonance between personal ethics and public contracts can no longer be smoothed over. The spouse, the boss, the client, the comrade, the supposed equal: they’ll make their move. And you’ll have to respond. Not react—respond. The stakes are…
Excerpt: “..what’s the point of all your grand ideals if they’re not animating the thing you put your name on? Is your art still true, or just curated? Is your lover a co-conspirator, or just the latest person who hasn’t…
Excerpt: “…This lunation doesn’t ask for cordiality and pleasantries. It pounds you for proof of what you’ll do in the face of action. It’s not just a matter of “home” or “family”—not some tidy psycho-spiritual nesting issue. This is deeper….
Excerpt: “…what you’re discovering—perhaps uncomfortably—is that your most refined ideals, your most radical proposals, are only as true as your next interaction. How do you correct someone? How are you corrected? What assumptions do you still carry about being the…
Excerpt: “…In bad faith, codependent relationships can become a silk rope, obligatory bonds tightening around your neck. You can feel the difference: one relaxes your jaw; the other makes you perform gratuitously while something inside you wants to shrink away…
