Aquarius Full Moon 8/19/24

Podcast Episode 11 Transcripts

Hello, and welcome to the Astrology and Ancient Arts Podcast.

I'm your host, Kai de Lune.

Hi, everyone.

So today we're going to talk about the Aquarius Full Moon.

And you guys, I'm going to be honest, this one looks a little bit rocky.

It looks like it's going to be challenging us in some pretty significant ways.

So we're going to explore everything that's happening with this Full Moon that is making me think that it's going to be a little bit more of an interesting activating lunation.

Okay, so let's go ahead and dive in.

As always, we're going to start with the technicalities of this Full Moon.

This Moon is happening on August 19, which is Monday, and it's going to move into its apex, or exact fullness, at 12:25 p.m. mountain standard time.

The Moon is going to be at 27 degrees, 15 minutes of Aquarius, which means that the Sun is in the opposite position at 27 degrees, 15 minutes of Leo.

So this Full Moon is automatically going to be activating the fixed cross and specifically you’re Leo Aquarius house axis.

So what you're going to want to do first is find where Aquarius is at in your chart.

Find where Leo is at in your chart.

What houses are those?

What realms of life do those houses represent?

And that's where this Full Moon is going to be activating and turning on this energy.

In your experience, this is also activating by square the other fixed houses, which are going to be Taurus and Scorpio.

So what you'll want to do is take a look not only to see where Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, and Scorpio are at in your chart, but then also to see where, if you have any planets or points in those last degrees of those fixed signs.

So I would say around like 22 degrees to 30 degrees.

And then if you wanted to dip into the mutable signs, you could even look between like, zero to two or three degrees of the mutable signs, which are going to be Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, and Sagittarius.

And if you have any planets or points in any of those kind of areas, then this Full Moon is going to be activating and turning on your chart in a really powerful way.

So let's take a look at what the aspects, what the conversations between all of these planets are doing and why this Full Moon looks a little bit rocky.

Okay, so the Leo Aquarius axis is the axis of identity.

And on one side we have Leo that's emphasizing things like self expression, who we are as an individual person, our uniqueness, what we do to express ourselves, play, creativity, all of those things.

And then on the other side of this axis, we have Aquarius, which is much more aware of other people and other systems than the Leo energy is.

So if Leo is emphasizing their own identity, Aquarius is questioning what identity is altogether and then acknowledging that everybody in the world has their own unique, different identity.

Aquarius is much more connected to the hive mind or like the larger group, but in a way where it wants to provide freedom for the ability for people to be able to express their true nature and to be able to connect with society and large groups in a really intimate way.

So if Leo is playing and expressing your individual creativity, Aquarius is going to be playing with friends or playing with groups of people, gathering with groups of people, where you have similar interests, or maybe not, and you find a common ground, you find the thread that is connecting you all together.

And so automatically we have sort of this energy that is being turned on and activated.

And this balancing is trying to happen with opposition, where the Sun is saying it's time to step more fully into our identity, to be able to express ourselves more fully.

And then on the other side, the Moon is in Aquarius saying, but how can we do that as a part of a larger whole?

We are not an isolated person on earth, but we are a part of humanity.

So how can we bring our individual identity into and incorporate it into the mass of society in a way that feels freeing and liberating and true to who we are and true to who other people are too?

So Aquarius doesn't want to, like, force their own belief systems on people.

Aquarius wants to find the common ground between all humans, regardless of belief.

And this lunation, this Moon is ruled by Saturn.

Saturn is hanging out retrograde in Pisces.

Saturn's at 17 degrees Pisces and is very, very active for this Full Moon.

So when you look at the chart of this Moon, you see immediately that there are two t squares that are dominating the conversation here.

And then there is one mild conversation that's happening between the Sun and Mercury and Chiron, and one mild conversation that's happening between Uranus and Neptune, which I'm not going to dive into those mild conversations very much, because they are energies that are fairly far apart.

And there's so much more going on here that we're going to focus our time on these two t square configurations.

So the first t square, so if you don't know what a t square is, a t square is basically like a triangle that has an opposition at the base, and then each point of the opposition is making a square with a third planet.

And as we're going to see more planets than just three planets can be involved in a t square, it just depends on how the planets are set up in the sky.

So with this one, the first one that we're going to talk about is a t square between the Moon, the Sun, Mercury and Uranus.

So at the base we have the Sun and the Moon in opposition.

We also have the Sun conjunct Mercury retrograde.

So the Sun and Mercury are very close together.

They are both opposing the Moon. And then both sides of this opposition, the Moon and the Sun and the Mercury, are in a square with Uranus.

And this is what is creating that, that t square energy.

When we have a t square, it's a closed loop.

So it's not just like a two sided conversation, but it's almost like you're in a group chat.

But then, but then the conversation gets heated and, and worked up and it starts spiraling.

And there's a very good chance that that energy is going to become exacerbated and amped up because it is a closed loop.

Right.

We're not talking about just one line, but we're talking about a triangle.

So that air, all of that energy that's being generated between, in this case, four planets, is getting sort of landlocked within this triangular shape.

So let's talk about how this energy is going to be showing up because it's going to be a little bit complex.

So let's talk about it.

Anytime that we have Sun opposite Moon, we're talking about a Full Moon.

So when we're talking about a Full Moon, something is coming to fruition.

It's the culmination part of the lunation cycle, where at the top of the cycle, we can see the Moon in its fullness.

It's shining brightly.

And we are able to either see things that we haven't really been able to pick up on throughout the other parts of the lunation cycle because there hasn't been enough light, or we're reaping the reward of the work that we've done previously.

The Full Moon time is like high summer where you're starting to get all of the fruits on the trees and your garden is starting to become plentiful and you're starting to see the reward and the bounty from all of the work that you've done previously in cultivating and growing and tending and caring for these, you know, garden plants or the trees or, or if we're talking about, like, our own experience, it could be, you know, reaping the rewards of projects that we've been working on or things that we've been putting our energy into or inner work that we've been doing or conversations that we've been having with people or repair that we've been doing within relationships.

Like, it could be so many different things, but usually during a Full Moon, something is coming to light and something is being shown, like we, we're reaching this, this pinnacle point.

And sometimes that feels really good, like an accomplishment.

Like I'm, I did the thing and now I get the reward.

And sometimes it doesn't feel like that.

Sometimes it's activating a part of our chart that is a little bit more sensitive or a little bit more tender, and we feel the sensitivity of that.

And on that note, I will mention that when we're talking about, you know, at the, at the beginning of all of these episodes, we say, find where this is at in your chart.

Find if you have a planet or a point in that area because it's activating that.

So what does that mean?

It means that, you know, if you have a planet or a point in late degree of any of the fixed signs, this Full Moon is not only activating and turning on that planet, but it's also turning on the whole aspect pattern of whatever that planet is doing in your chart, and that's flipping the switch on to a specific part of your psyche.

So as an example, if you have Saturn at a late degree of Aquarius, and so this Full Moon is activating your Saturn, and then in your personal chart, Saturn is square, the Moon, it's going to activate that whole aspect pattern.

So it's not only activating your Saturn, but it's pulling in your psychosomatic experience, your body, your emotional context, and the conversation that Saturn and the Moon are having in your chart, in your mind, in your body, in your experience, that is a longer ongoing learning experience that you're working through during your whole entire life.

That's what your chart represents.

I feel like that was a little bit of a tangent and I will be honest, I lost my train of thought.

So we're just going to start from here.

What I want to do with these t squares, because they are so complicated, is I want to break apart each conversation within them.

And then we're going to talk about the whole group conversation that's happening.

So we've already kind of talked about what the conversation between the Sun and the Moon are having together.

This is the Full Moon time.

They're talking about culmination fruition in the realm of Leo and Aquarius. Now the Sun is conjunct Mercury.

They are separating.

They're about one degree apart.

And when the Sun and Mercury retrograde, Mercury is still retrograde here.

When they come together, this is like the New Moon phase of the mercurial cycle.

So our inner thoughts and ideas become vitally important during this conjunction.

Whatever is happening within your inner mind, your inner sphere, these are things that are trying to inform you of areas of life or thought patterns or communication patterns that are ready to be changed or that are ready to grow or are ready to evolve in some way.

When the Sun and Mercury come together, there's a need for exchange.

So we want to gather information, we want to share that information through types of communication. And listening can become a little bit of a challenge because the Sun's light, the Sun's vitality, is sort of overshadowing Mercury a little bit here.

In traditional astrology, this is how close they are.

It's called under the Sun's beams.

And it just means that we can't see that planet, right.

The Sun's light is prohibiting us from being able to see Mercury, like literally in the sky.

So we take that information and we interpret it symbolically.

And a part of one of those interpretations is that it might be a little bit challenging to hear or listen to differing points of view at this moment in time.

So the Sun and Mercury together are in a square with Uranus.

This is going to bring in a restlessness.

And the Moon, and also the Moon is square, Uranus as well.

So these three planets squaring Uranus, this is going to bring in a restlessness, impatience.

It will make us probably feel a little bit irritable.

There is an impulse to search for renewal of some way and to change in some way.

So Uranus is saying, what needs to be changed?

What needs to be renewed?

Where are the parts of our experience that are getting rusty or getting old or worn out that need to be thrown in the scrap pile and.

And what new parts need to come in so that we can work through this process of renewal?

Whenever Uranus is active like this, in a chart, it brings with it the energy of feeling, the need to make immediate decisions.

I'm sure that we have all felt this way where you are faced with a situation and you feel like you immediately have to change something.

You need to get out of that situation.

You need to find a different solution.

You need to extract yourself, like, immediately, right?

And it can feel really suffocating almost, because that energy is so intense and so strong.

And so there is a possibility or the potential for people to make rash decisions during a configuration like this.

Here we're talking about having old structures becoming disrupted, right?

Old structures are breaking apart, they're falling down, they are crumbling to the ground.

And with those old structures, old connections and old ties to either people or systems or beliefs, they're also being severed and becoming unraveled and falling apart as well.

And sometimes when Uranus is leading this really big change, this unraveling can happen faster than our minds can catch up, right?

So, like, change happens faster than we can process it or we make decisions without thinking through the potentials first.

So we're not thinking about the long term potentials or the consequences or whatever, we're just making rash decisions in, like, the heat of the moment.

And sometimes that's needed.

Sometimes that breaks us out of stagnancy and that breaks us away.

Like, it helps us break free of patterns that we've stayed in because of fear or whatever.

But sometimes it can just be a little bit impulsive, right?

Like we all of a sudden get hit with this really strong feeling emotion to make a change in our life.

And so we just blindly do it without thinking about how it's going to affect us long term, how it's going to affect other people long term.

So what we want to try and do is when we're feeling that Uranus electricity coursing through us, pushing us towards freedom in some way or liberation of something in our life, we want to try our best to pause and think through.

Mercury retrograde is really inviting us to turn that thought process inward and to review all of the things that have led us up to this point.

And if we're able to try and, like, project into the future, sometimes we're not able to do that.

Sometimes we're not able to see past the immediate.

And that's okay, too.

But however you are experiencing this energy, it's likely to feel uncomfortable.

And emotional activations are likely.

I would anticipate that your emotional sphere is going to be heightened and turned on.

And you're probably going to feel extra sensitive and extra irritable and have less patience to deal with things or handle things that you feel like are unjust or are not a true reflection of equality.

This is all Aquarius stuff. Aquarius energy is interesting because it doesn't want to.

I mean, it is ruled by Saturn, so it doesn't want to completely destroy the systems, right.

It just wants to change the system from within the system to make it better.

So that's something to remember as Uranus is pushing us for drastic change.

How can we make changes within the system that we are in?

Sometimes, you know, the answer is, well, you have to leave the system in order to.

And by system, I'm using that term very, very loosely.

Like, maybe you're talking about a relationship.

Maybe you're talking about a work situation.

Maybe you're talking about a friend group or a club that you're in or like, it could.

It could literally, literally be anything.

The word system here I'm very using as kind of a catch all for however this is showing up in your chart, however this experience is coming to you.

So sometimes the answer is, well, yes, I have to leave that situation altogether so that I can really attain the liberation or freedom or sense of balance and equality that and self expression that you're needing.

But sometimes you're able to make smaller changes within that experience that will help you get there, too, without like, you know, throwing the baby out with the bath water type of a thing.

This t square has several signatures that are speaking to challenging our physical vitality.

So that means it's probably going to disrupt our sleep.

We're probably going to feel more fatigued than we normally do.

We're probably going to feel physically drained.

It's also possible that if you have physical things that you're working through, that those get activated.

And so the activation of that physical thing that you're dealing with is causing more fatigue or the need for you to rest more or sleep more.

But it might be challenging because there's so much electricity in the air.

For this Full Moon, that our sleep is likely to be disruptive.

So anytime that we have a t square and we're thinking about, like, all of these conversations are happening, and it's creating this picture of heightened stress and strain and thinking about who am I as a person?

Who am I as a part of the larger community or even larger as a member of humanity?

And relating this to your personal chart and then feeling the need to break free and to expand in some way or to be more authentically yourself in some way, this creates sort of this cyclone of tension that we're feeling that's getting trapped in this triangular shape of this t square.

Right.

And so when we're dealing with these aspects, we're thinking about how can we create a release point for this energy so that it doesn't just continue to spiral and spiral and spiral and get more amped up and more escalated, but how can we release and sort of siphon off some of this energy safely?

And when we do that, we look at the opposite part of the chart from the apex of the triangle.

So the apex of this t square is Uranus.

So the release point is going to be 27 degrees of Scorpio.

So find where 27 degrees Scorpio is in your chart.

So you're going to look at the things that are signified by that house.

Like, what does this house mean?

What are the realms of life this house is holding?

So, like, Scorpio's in your second house.

It's going to be money.

It's going to be value systems.

It's going to be how you create a physical life, like how you pay for your home, your car, your groceries, like all of those things, the skills that you use in order to make money.

If Scorpio is in your fourth house, it's going to be something more related to your home, your family, maybe your past or your heritage, your roots in some way.

If it's in your 7th house, then it's going to be relationships or the people that you're committing to in some way.

And maybe that is a partner, maybe it's best friends, really.

The 7th house talks about anybody that you have made an agreement with.

So find where Scorpio is in your chart, and this is how you can help release some of that pressure, by tapping into this area of your chart.

Scorpio Energy wants to go deep, which, I mean, this energy by this t square is, I don't want to say superficial, but it feels like it's very much like in the atmosphere, right?

And so Scorpio Energy is saying, okay, we need to drop down, and we need to go deeper, and we need to move through the internal process that will help us unearth the root cause of what is making us feel this way, what's hidden deep within our psyche that is causing us to feel like we need liberated from whatever situation that we are moving through or that's getting turned on and activated by this Full Moon.

Scorpio Energy will always want you to take emotional ownership for yourselves and yourself alone.

So if this is in a sector of your house, of your chart that is activating relationships in some way, are you taking responsibility for other people's emotions or other people's experiences?

Or are you only taking ownership and responsibility for your own experience and your own emotions?

Scorpio Energy wants you to do the second thing right. It wants you to say, this is my life.

These are my emotions.

This is my stuff to deal with. And then this is your life, this is your emotional experience, and you need to deal with that.

Right.

Scorpio Energy also needs trust.

So are you feeling a lack of trust in your situation?

If you are, how can you start to build trust?

Either trust with yourself?

Like, maybe you just need to start trusting yourself more.

If it's a relationship issue or a friendship issue or family issue, how can you start to build more reliable trust within that relationship?

And Scorpio energy is also very much connected to the taboo.

So try and think about solutions that are outside of the box.

What are things that other people might consider to be taboo?

But if it feels right to you, give it a try anyway.

See what happens.

And if you tap into the Scorpio energy and start working with these themes connected to the area of life where your Scorpio house is at, that will help relieve some of the pressure of this first t square.

Okay, so let's talk about the second one, because one isn't enough.

We needed two for this Full Moon, apparently.

Okay, so the second t square that's happening for this chart is happening between the lunar ruler, Saturn, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter.

So, you guys, this means that every single planet is participating in one of these two t squares, except for Neptune and Pluto.

So this is like every part of our psyche.

Okay, so let's break it down in this chart.

Venus is opposite Saturn, and then Venus and Saturn are both squaring Mars and Jupiter, which Mars and Jupiter are in a conjunction, and they are the apex of this triangle of this t square.

Venus, opposite Saturn, will pull out an emotional vulnerability within us.

These two planets don't have much in common.

And so when they're in an opposite aspect, like they are now, they're having a challenging conversation with one another, and that can lead to us feeling vulnerable.

Venus is our heart, how we relate to people, our desires, our wishes, our wants.

And Saturn is the part of us that brings us back down to reality.

It says no more often than it says yes.

It requires us to do some sort of work, and it wants us to be.

Saturn wants us to be successful.

But in order to be successful, sometimes we have to face reality, which sometimes can feel a little bit harsh.

And so with this opposition between Venus and Saturn, Venus doesn't really like to be challenged in this way.

And so not only can we feel vulnerable, but sometimes it can be difficult for us to express things like gratitude or appreciation because we're feeling restricted in some way.

When Venus is being challenged by Saturn, it is a possibility that that part of us is more inclined to run away from the confrontation, like, we want to avoid the confrontation.

Right.

I don't know about you, but I'm very familiar with that energy.

So if we are feeling inclined to escape or to run away from challenges or confrontations, we can make that choice.

We can make that decision.

But if we do, it's likely to lead us towards feelings of isolation or loneliness because of the Saturn aspect here.

So Saturn is saying, it's time for you to do the work in relationship.

And if Venus is like, but I don't want to, that's a choice we can make.

But if we make that choice, we probably will feel more disconnected from that relationship than, you know, we're separate than we want to.

We're separating and not coming together.

And what we want to do is we want to come together.

And in order to do that, we have to have those hard conversations.

So at the apex of this t square, Mars and Jupiter are conjunct one another.

When Mars and Jupiter come together, there is an abundance of energy that can be ignited from this union.

It feels unsustainable, though, right?

Like, this isn't just like a heightened energy that lasts for a long time.

It feels like it ignites and then it dies, and then it ignites, and then it dies, especially with the other signatures in the first t square that are sort of, like, siphoning off our energy or draining our energy or just not allowing us to rest as much as we need to.

This is playing into that, too, by giving us bursts of energy but then requiring a lot of rest time in order to replenish.

But we're not getting that rest time.

Right?

So we need to be really mindful of our physical experience and our energy allocation during this Full Moon.

Otherwise we're going to get burnt out really, really, really quickly.

With the Mars Jupiter conjunction, there is a possibility of working too hard or overachieving.

It is a signature of success.

So there is a drive that is propelling you forward where you're trying to reach for something that looks like success, right?

Like you're trying to reach an end goal that is looks or feels or seems better than where you're at right now.

And Mars is giving you the energy to do that. But again, like, we've got to be really mindful of our physical energy during this lunation.

This combination can be prone to risk taking.

So with Uranus saying, okay, you guys, it's time to make some big changes.

Jupiter and Mars are like, let's risk it.

Let's do it.

Let's go.

At some point, we need to be able to tap into that Saturn energy and say, is this sustainable?

Is this going to be the right thing to do for our long term life plan or whatever it is?

But again, Saturn is in a square with this configuration with Jupiter and Mars.

So what is that square speaking to?

Right.

Jupiter squaring Saturn is the tightest aspect of this entire chart.

And because it is an aspect that involves the chart ruler, it makes it very, very important.

Usually, Jupiter and Saturn work very well together.

They're both social planets.

They're both helping to translate the language of the outer planets and helping us to integrate them into our inner psyche in some way.

Right?

Like they're the bridge between the outer planets and the inner planets.

And they work together, they balance each other out.

But in this instance, they're in conflict.

There is a struggle here.

This signature can lead us to having to take a harsh look at our reality.

We might be facing some hard truths with this Full Moon.

And as we are looking at those hard truths, the Jupiter Saturn Square is telling us that there is a disconnect or that something is out of alignment between our vision, what it is that we're trying to call in, and the reality of the situation.

So we need to find where that disconnection is and either mend it or realign ourselves with something different.

This is also a signature of a loss of energy.

So this is the type of signature that speaks to eventually gaining more self confidence, more wisdom or experience.

These are Jupiter things, but only after we have put in some painstaking hard work, which sounds fun, right?

Mars squaring.

Saturn is going to give us a determination to strive and work hard towards whatever this is activating, we are going to have the ambition to be able to do that work.

Mars is going to be offering another boost of energy through this square with Saturn.

And it does give us a sense of, like, perseverance.

If we do the work, and if we do so with courage, then we can persevere.

That's what the Mars Saturn conversation is saying.

I really, really like Mars Square Saturn, even though it's a square.

These planets work really well together, and it provides a lot of energy to be able to make things happen quickly.

But again, we have to be mindful of our energy here or we are going to burn ourselves out.

So on the other side, we have Venus that is squaring Mars and Jupiter.

Venus Square Mars is going to put a strain on our relationships.

This is a conversation that might lead to us feeling like we don't know what we want or if we do know what we want, we don't know how to get it.

I have this end goal in mind, but I don't know what the steps are to get there.

This is a signature of pushing too hard with not enough rest.

Can you see the theme that is, that is emerging here?

Venus needs rest.

Venus needs us to sink into all of the soft, pleasurable things that bring us happiness and joy and rejuvenation.

And Venus is trying to remind us of those things.

But again, like, this is.

It almost feels like Venus is sort of like screaming into the void, saying, we need these things, we need these things, but are we allowing ourselves to get them?

So with that, we might be feeling an inner disquietude while also feeling an external or outer vacillation.

Right.

So inside we're feeling this disquiet energy, and outside we're feeling this frenetic energy, Venus squaring Mars.

So these two planets do work really well together.

They are in a square, but the square is softer.

So kind of like how Saturn and Mars, they're considered to be in traditional astrology, the two malefic planets.

But when they come together, they work really well together, even in a square.

It's the same thing with Jupiter and Venus.

They're considered to be the two benefic planets in traditional astrology.

So when they come together, they work really well together, even in a square.

So there is a softening that's happening between Venus and Jupiter or a warmth that's trying to come through.

But there is so much restlessness that we're still probably going to be feeling that imbalance and that restless energy.

But the Venus Jupiter aspect, it might be exactly what we need in order to put ourself first.

Before, we were talking about taking care of our own needs and not taking care of other people's needs and asterisk, if you care for dependence.

I'm not talking about that.

But this signature might be giving us the push to, you know, put things that we enjoy, like artistic endeavors or play or, you know, expression in some way or creativity in some way to build that into what it is that is trying to break free.

It's like something is trying to hatch, right, like where this whole entire chart is kind of like a little chicken egg that is trying to break through the shell and it's making its way.

But there's so much energy and friction and tension that's happening inside of this shell that's causing this little chick to be driven to break free of it.

The Venus Jupiter part of this t square is almost speaking to, well, when you break free of it, who are you going to be on the other side?

And can we start to incorporate some of those softer expressions, too, like artistic expression or creative expression or whatever?

And just like the first t square, if we are feeling this energy between these four planets and it's, you know, spiraling around and it's creating this cyclone, and it's feeling really overwhelming.

This one has a release point, too.

The release point for this second t square is going to be 18 degrees of Sagittarius.

So you're going to want to find where 18 degrees, it's, like, midway between. It's like.

It's like, just over halfway through Sagittarius, find that area of your chart.

What does that house represent?

Sagittarius energy is going to be looking toward the future.

It wants to find the philosophy or the belief system within.

That's, like, naturally embedded within the experience.

So if you are moving through this, like, whirlwind of Saturn, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter, and you're like.

Like, this is making my head spin, and I feel like I need to be doing action, like taking action steps forward, but I don't know where I'm going, or I don't know how to do that, or it all just feels like busy work or like I'm not really making any progress.

Drop into that Sagittarius area of your chart and start thinking about what is the core belief that you're either holding on to or that you're trying to cultivate from this experience.

What do you believe about it?

What is your philosophy about what it is that you're moving through, and how can that be either a release of energy or an anchor point to help you navigate through some of these sort of choppier waters?

Sagittarius energy also likes to share information.

So gather with your people and talk about what it is that you're going through.

Talk about your experience.

Vent your frustrations, talk about your concerns.

Share your goals or your dreams or the things that you feel like are blocking your way.

And allow other people to hold that space with you alongside you and do the same for them, too.

Sagittarius energy also will ask the question, why not?

So if you're feeling limited by Saturn, if you're feeling doubt, if the Saturn Venus opposition is making you doubt yourself and your abilities, ask yourself, why not?

Why can't I do this?

What's holding me back?

And work through that?

Because it'll give you a lot of answers that will be helpful to loosen some of this really tight and activated energy.

Okay, so that's the Aquarius Full Moon.

It's going to be calling us out in some kind of way, right?

But when, when we're moving through challenging astrology like this, I want you to remember that this type of astrology isn't just, you know, calling us out to make life hard or to give us challenges or to just generally make life unpleasant.

That's nothing.

What the purpose of this is.

The purpose is to help us grow and evolve as human beings, as spirits in a human body, as a part of humanity as a whole.

And in order to do that, sometimes we have to push past our comfort zone.

We have to stretch farther than we want to or than we would just on our own.

Right?

Sometimes we need an external force to come in and help us sort of break away some of those pieces of that shell.

Right?

That's what this is doing.

It's helping us to really be able to see where we are, no longer willing to settle where we are, no longer willing to turn a blind eye or go along with other people's agendas that are not really aligned with who we are.

And it's inviting us to make really significant changes in our perception, in our communication, how we choose to interact with each other and with the world.

And that's what growth is.

That's what evolution is.

It's taking an experience and making a choice, right?

We're choosing something different.

And maybe this is something that is very, very intimate and internal and nobody else out in the world, your friends, your family, maybe nobody else even sees it.

Maybe this is just for you, or maybe it's something that is a little bit more external.

You know, astrology helps us to be able to see the nature of the energy that we are moving toward, that we're moving into, but it's not predictive in that it will tell us exactly what we're going to experience.

And I kind of like that, because more often than not, I have thought that an aspect or a chart configuration will show up in a certain way.

And I'm pleasantly surprised by how it actually shows up.

So even though this is a signature that looks very challenging, that has the potential to call us out in some way or another, be open to the showing up in a way that you might not have ever expected, and maybe that's going to bring you something that is actually really delightful, or that helps you get to a place where you can be more yourself, where you feel more free, where you feel more autonomous.

I hope for that for all of us.

All right, my friends, as always, happy Full Moon.

If you have any questions, concerns, if you want to know how this is going to be affecting your chart.

Personally, I do have my books open, and I would be more than happy to have a reading with you and to go through all of this in your own personal chart.

All right.

I honestly never really know how to end these things, so I'll just say, with love.

Bye.
