Lunar Insight

One thing and only one thing (for now) that astronomers, astrologers, geologists, sailors, poets, weatherpersons, fishermen, doctors, nurses and psychiatrists can seem to agree upon, the Moon and Her amazing influences in nature and on human behavior.

In astrology, as women, we are ruled by the Moon, which represents our emotions and feelings. With it, is the receptivity of others’ emotions as well, the reason why intuition is far more stronger in women than in men. As Wise Women, we have the power to capture Her magnificence and apply it into our daily life. To begin with, we have a new moon, a time for starting new projects, then two weeks after, we have a full moon, a good time to expect fruition then release those that are no longer beneficial to the project.

	Full Moon in Scorpio, 27° May 17th, 2011, 4:09 AM, PDT by Marcelina  Happy Full Moon Everyone! This Full Moon in Scorpio highlights the need to make changes in dealing with finances. The opposing sign, Taurus, deals with personal resources, while Scorpio deals with shared resources of others. The contrasting forces between the complexity of Scorpio Moon and the simplicity of Taurus Sun are stirring up hidden emotions that involve fears of something ending. A chance to follow a life path of  simplicity  is  so frightening  for many of us, afraid that Nature alone cannot provide.  With Venus,
Mercury, Mars and the Sun, all in the sign of Taurus, we decide to reject discomfort. Nonetheless, Taurus is there to show that there’s beauty in the present, while Scorpio urges us to allow the inevitable to end. Both Taurus and Scorpio are fixed signs adding to our insecurity about making any changes. The good news is… the intensity of this lunar aspect will lift off as the Moon moves into fiery Sagittarius later that morning. Neptune enters into the picture an hour later, which turns our attention away from all the limits of the world.   On Sabian Symbols… Astrological Mandala by Dane Rudhyar   27 degrees Taurus indicates, “An old Indian woman selling the artifacts of her tribe to passers-by. Keynote: Peaceful adaptation to collective mind. 27 degrees Scorpio indicates, “A military band marches noisily on through the city streets. Keynote: The aggressive glorification of cultural value.” My thoughts…. 27 degrees Taurus + 27 degrees Scorpio, signals a time when the cultural pride is boasting for an achievement forcibly made through our collective desires to impress the whole world, desires contrasted by traditional and simple people who prefer their own quiet and peace to celebrate such cultural achievement.  Bright Blessings!             Keep Sharing the Light!
