| Jeanne Moreau and Sam Shepard |
Hey Everybody. I’m writing this full moon report in sort of
a wistful mood. I just learned earlier today that Sam Shepard and Jeanne Moreau
have passed. I was a teenager when I happened upon both of these artists, and
when I did it felt like I also found a way to experience parts of myself I
didn’t know existed. These IDEAS were EMOTIONALLY stirring. This is how I THINK an
Aquarius moon FEELS.
I’ve always had a thing for Aquarius. I’ve always had a
thing for the iconoclast. Both Shepard and Moreau fit the bill (and btw,
Shepard: prominent moon Aqua Moreau: sun/moon Aqua). Both were so important to
the reimagining of America, theater, film, and the feminine. Aquarian ideals
never fit in places that already exist.
Aquarius sees everything differently. It goes against the grain,
and lives in the future. It’s left field, it’s lightning striking, it’s mad
genius. It’s also the cool customer, the radical idealist, and the
unsentimental intellectual.
Being ruled by both Uranus and Saturn, I’ve always felt that
Aquarius was the most paradoxical of all the signs. It’s the sign of the
collective and the rebel, detachment and passionate revolution, unconventionality
and rigidity. My solution for working with Aquarius is to accept the whole
frictive reciprocal nature of it and enjoy the sparks it creates. A keyword for
Aquarius is “break”: it’s the big break, breakdown, breakthrough, clean break, break
up or even the break in what we consider reality, i.e. time constraints and 3D
reality (Saturn’s domain). It’s anything that finds its way into being against
the odds.
Uranus needs something to break open or away from, hence it
needs large communities, limitations, and institutions. If you’re into
mythology you know about the gruesome showdown
between Uranus (Ouranos) and Saturn (Kronos).
Without the container of tradition, rules, and laws,
Aquarius has nothing to break from. It is hyper-aware, invested and concerned
about these things but always in the interest of innovation. It always asks,
“how can we do better for all?” Its
dedication to ideals for humanity at large is fierce, though sometimes too
attached to the ideal or “the vision.” It
can be a little inhumane in the name of the very people it purports to help.
Personal feelings and shining your individual creative light is Leo territory.
That lives on the opposite end of the axis. Remember, at a full moon there’s
always a conversation/balancing act between the two ends of an axis.
Both Uranus and Saturn figure strongly into this eclipse
season. Uranus stations retrograde August 3rd, therefore concentrating its
energy, Saturn is slowing down to station direct in a couple weeks (intensifying
its energy), Uranus rules this full moon/ partial eclipse, and both are part of
a fire trine that hovers around the solar eclipse point.
I would pay close attention to this full moon and how Uranus
is touching your life/chart. I know the BIG eclipse is coming up, but the
information you need to work with the solar eclipse is available NOW. It might
show up as a rude awakening, bolt from the blue, or blessed epiphany.
This full moon is where you find
your line
break. Your page
break. Where you break
with something, someone, somewhere,
some
idea from your past
inspired by a picture
you can’t get out
of your head.
You’ll know where needs
breaking.
It’s the place that feels
too tight.
It’s the place you know
your picture
can’t fit.
