We have been told that anger is violence. We have been taught that anger is unbecoming. We have been led to believe that anger is not spiritual. When in reality the guise of false peace that passes for our societies is brutal. “Peace” is the true brutality. Anger is love. Rage is the right response to the realization of our collective history. If you are not angry you are complicit in the oppression and the continuation of the violent structures of old.
As we release the trauma associated with Aquarius, its gifts can be harnessed: Aquarius-Leo asks us not to choose either mind or body; head or heart, but to integrate the two. To keep the logic and refined intellect that humanity has developed, in part as a response to pain, and to merge that with the spontaneous and natural life and love that arise as we inhabit our bodies once again.
There is much energetic assistance as we come face to face with the shadow side of Capricorn within our own lives and the collective. Perhaps we have the resources now to fathom just how deep the controlling nature of the dominant paradigm extends.
Capricorn is the sign of the patriarch, the energy within all of us--regardless of gender--of discipline, focus, protection, structure, infrastructure, organization, governance, ambition, guidance….
Certainly set your New Moon intentions, but this is also a time for accepting that we don’t have control over everything. Life is full of surprises and changes, some that we welcome, some, not so much. We do have control over how we respond to what flows into our lives though.
There is no knowledge without belief: our worldview is what enables us to sift through information and to organize it so that it’s useful. This shows how important our beliefs and assumptions are; they literally make our world.
Expect your plans to change. Expect your direction to change. To work in collaboration with this energy, be flexible. Things are changing quickly. What we could once depend on is no longer stable.
Scorpio courageously dives into the depths to grapple with that which has been repressed, to confront the dragons and turmoil within--to release, accept, clean up, forgive, love--ie to offer medicine to those monsters, not to kill them. And then to emerge renewed and utterly transformed.
While Uranus asserts their individuality, they also long for belonging, and they know that both are possible. Uranus dreams of a world in which we make space for difference and respect each other for who we are, in which we are radically free, and radically ourselves
With the Sun in Aries, and the Moon in Libra, this Full Moon activates the self-other polarity, reminding us that there would be no self without others, no others without the self: the seeming opposites of any polarity are necessarily formative of each other. We literally are who we are because of the people in our lives.
