On the Full Moon I look at the overall perspective of the moon cycle as well as the actual Full Moon Event. This one is very interesting after meditating on this Moon Cycle. This cycle was focused on Subconscios forces. In spirituality we have to work individually with our Shadow that resides in the Subconscious, bringing it into our Consciousness, so that we can become whole and complete people. There were also several indications that a 'new cycle' was being initiated by this Moon Cycle. That means that we will immediately see this 'new' experiences but that this is the inception point of something new. The New Moon was in Pisces, a very confusing sign that has a focus on the Collective as it ties in closely with the ocean. In the Age of Pisces we saw a lot of Group Think and during this Moon cycle there has been a tremendous amount of Group Think. Group Think taps into the Collective Subconscious Shadow controlling people via a Knee- Jerk conditioned reaction to stimulus. Given that the Collective (despite an unprecidented amount of people actively working with their Shadow) has not done the work neccesary not to be controlled on this level it has been very interesting to watch this play out on a societal level. Group Think, particularly in the case of Identity Politics and Cancel Culture, are at an all time high with the highly conditioned College Graduates. While society seems to associate independent thinking with education that simply isn't the case. That's why the college educated tech sector is leading the Group Think and Public Opinion. Colleges are one of the most prevalent places of conditioning and training people to be compiant to authority but that is a subject for another blog. Libra Full Moon This Full Moon is fascinating. There is a common saying that, "Nature hates a vacuum." Back in December, the last New Moon blog that I wrote (and when I found out I was pregnant) I noted that all the signs indicated that the Medicene Wheel was out of balance for the Collective. When there is an imbalance it creates a vacuum one side. On an overall superficial level this Libra Full Moon seems to be all about balance. Libra itself is the sign represented by the Scales of Justice. Further, the number 8 is associated with balance and there are five 'wanderers' (the original name for the planets that included the Sun and Moon) that are at 8 degrees in this chart. The Sun, Chiron and Venus are all at 8 Degrees in Aries. Uranus, which has been in Taurus for awhile is also at 8 degrees. The Moon is at 8 degrees of Libra. All of those planets at 8 degrees suggets that Balance is what this New Cycle, indicated by the New Moon, is all about. Usually, something has to become a major problem before people undertake 'fixing' it. So, while it may seem that we are at a Crisis point when it comes to balance in our Collective...it's the tipping point and apex of that particular situation. Now that the problem is out there and well known there are people who are going to start to work to fix it. We may not see the solutions now but they're on the horizon. A significant amount of planets are at that 8 degrees point and most importantly the Sun that is opposing the Moon (as it does every Full Moon) is in Aries. The Sun represents Consciousness and the Moon represents Subconcious. The Initiating Energy of Aries, the first Ram Headed sign of the Zodiac, is opposing the Subconscious in Libra that represents Balance. Aries reinforces the fact that there is a new bigger Collective Cycle starting and the fact that it involves Equality is reinforced by the Subconscious Moon sitting in Libra. Add in that we are at that Initiative time in the Solar Wheel where we turn to the Eastern direction. Easter is is within this Moon cycle and Spring is the intiation of the Zodiacal Year. Tools I'm using the same Crystal Grid that I did with the New Moon in Piseces so you can take a look at that post. I'm using Jasemine Incense for Air and a Lavendar Scented Calendar for Fire. These two plants represent Spring and the blooming of flowers. This works with the energy of change that all of us are embroiled in at the moment. Change is hard, I know, but it's best to embrace it and work with the energy instead of resisting it. After all, as they say, "What you resist persists," and in fact it usually comes back with a vengence because the very nature of Life on our level of existence is of constant change. Trying to resist change is very unhealthy and often change is good...and trying to keep things 'the same' leads to dysfunction and disastrous results. Full Moon Stone: Amazonite Every Full Moon I pull an Oracle Stone and this one is Amazonite. Amazonite is all about Communication and sharing your truth. Right now there are a lot of people who's truths are being shotdown. Cancel Culture has shut down a lot of people. As a writer and a fan of diversitiy and individuality any form of Censorship is evil. Another part of telling your truth requires the acknowledgement that truth can change with time. As such I am going to share my truth about some very charged subjects in the Mediation. So if you are someone that's triggered when hearing what is currently an unpopular opinion it's probably best that you stop reading now. Meditation We're going to go into a bit of politics because Equality has been in the news a lot recently. The idea of Equality has been taken to an extreme level in recent weeks. To the point where Illinois Senator Duckworth has said she will not vote for anymore White Straight Male Biden Adniministation Nominees. Also in the news there has been a push to focus on Anti-Asian violence to help get that group (usually Conservative) to identify more with the Democratic Party. I hate to say that 95% of the News is strategic Partisan Politics Propaganda but at this point it's Common Knoweldge (CNN and Fox News makes the divide and their agenda obvious). Identity politics has been the name of the game with the Biden Presidency. He faced a lot of criticisim when he said that people who didn't vote for him, "Ain't Black." (People wonder why he's not allowed to give Press Conferences?). When Neera Tanden faced huge opposition as a Biden nominee because she had posted hateful Tweets about many members of the Government- including Bernie Sanders- the White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki made it about race saying that she was the first 'Asian Woman' nominee and that was the reason people hated her. She wound up eating crow and opting out of the position but that's the rhetoric that this White House and the Collective is pushing right now. Meanwhile there was an interesting video by The Hill Rising explaining that the Republicans are going to get into the Idenity Politics game as well. Now, since we know that we are at the start of a New Cycle of Equality we could get all starry eyed and say we are starting to see a New Societal Order being in place. A lot of people who believe a Utopian Society is possible are probably having wet dreams over this moment in time undoubtedly seeing whatever label they embrace the most as being the victor. I consider myself an American Mutt (I have South Asian, Indigenous American and Caucasion ancestory...I've posted my genetic background) and I admittedly have a history of bisexuality even though I've been straight for over twelve years (I don't think who we have a relationship bears any significance when it comes to personal development) so I'm not part of these ubalanced extremes that are playing out on the Collective level in the U.S. I don't think there is going to be a new pecking order where only one race dominates the narrative. That really hasn't been the case for decades now. Washington D.C. is always famously behind the rest of the nation. Instead, I think the government of the U.S. and Media are starting to get with the paradigm that the rest of the nation has been a part and the Millenial Age Group grew within. A lot of it is overwhelmingly influenced by the Edcuational System and I am not going to claim on any level that the Millenial Generation is better then their predecessors (The Boomers were far healthier physically and psychologicall- actually- I have an article planned on that subject) since that Generation has been largely destroyed by the conditioning they received from the Educational System Psychologically and Financially (I have a lot to say about this since I'm a part of this generation). Additionally, the response to and the effects of the Coronavirus response- Lockdowns, Shutdowns, and Mask Mandate will also play a major role in the re-shaping of the Collective Consciousness. Now that citizens have had their own countires oppressively lock them down, which is a common form of life in Socialist and Communist countries- there will be repurcussions and reform even if they don't happen immediately. The generations that grew up during this time- particuarlly the ones in school- are going to have a very different perspective of society than the previous generations. How that will play out- whether they buy into the dystopian future narrative of the Millenials or seek major reform- is going to dominate the story that generation creates. I actually think that this time is going to be looked back upon as a teachable moment about how zealous conditioning leads to bad results...whether it's the Nazi's that demonized anyone that was not a straight white Christian blue eyed male or Identity Politics that demonizes the straight white Christian male (often associated with the Republican Party in todays politics). The Symbols As I was meditating upon the symbols of this Moon Cycle I realized that the Moon is obviously a sign of the night and the Racoon, a nocturnal animal, also symbolizes the night. This New Moon also fell under the Strong Winds Moon and that represents change. The Night, to me, obviously deals with the Subconscious and the Shadow. In addition, I can't help but think of the "Dark Night of The Soul." That, to me, given all of the hate and favoritisim currently being expressed out there suggests that this cycle is one of the Dark Night of the Soul. Perhaps we are facing a Reckoning of an entire age (the age of Pisces) where White Males sought to conquer and 'civilize' the world- whether it was Alexander The Great, Napoleon, Christopher Columbus, Hitler or President FDR (via the UN). Further, that this Cycle of Cultural Battle is one of chaos and clearing out of the old that's setting the stage for the New Paradigm. Right now both political parties are latching on to Cultural Identity Politics as their platform but that's not going to last very long. That message is too divisive, chaotic and outdated as far as the Millenial Generation that's just come into shaping the societal story. No one really knows what the new 'message' that will set the tone and ring true for this new Millennial Generation will be because it is going to be totally different from the Regan, Clinton, Bush Jr and the Obama Politics. Based on the fact that Bernie Sanders has had the most influence among the Millenial generation...that may be an indication of where the new message lies but he too was very divisive. Even more deeply I see the reflection of all of this in the Moon Tarot Card. The Moon Card is number 18- again bringing up balance. Balance is also represented in the symbolisim of the Card with the Dog and the Wolf. The Wolf is the undomesticated and wild form. The Dog is the domesticated and tamed animal form. The Wolf represents the Undisciplined Mind that has not done the work of Self-Examination and runs off of instinct/subconscious. The Dog represents the loyal Disciplined Mind that knows itself and it's role within society. Conclusion What happens during this New Cycle is setting the stage for a new Collective Subconscious. In the United States, which I am the familar with, it's clear to see how the symbols reflect what's going on in the country. There are deep subconscious patterns and conditioning being worked out. As we shift out of the Age of Pisces and into the Age of Aquarius we're seeing that shift in the human story. What does an inclusive society that doesn't resort to War look like? What do we do with so much of history that mostly lists generals and leaders that fought war forgetting the common citizen? Our society is clearly shifting from a perspective focused on exploration, war and conquering to one that honors more of the traditional values emphasizing a holistic balanced approach to Humans place within Nature held by the Nomadic Hunter and Gatherers of Ages Past. That point of view is so alien to our currenct materialistic society that it's going to take tremendous phases of shifting perspective for us even to conceive of how to obtain that balance within nature. Just like with The Moon Tarot Card society is undergoing the change from the undisciplined subconscously survival mind point of view of the Wolf that would bite the hand of any dog parent to the Disciplined Dog that knows it's role/place in the world.
