Full Moon - Super Moon

Sunday’s Full Moon with Moon in Aquarius and Sun in Leo is called a Super Moon because the Moon is at its closest point to the Earth.  On the Eastern Seaboard of the United States this Full Moon occurs at 2:08 PM in the afternoon.  So as the Moon rises in the evening technically easterners will be seeing a waning Gibbous Moon.  Not to worry, it will be big enough and will still look like a Full Moon.

This Full Moon sets the tone for the upcoming week. Moon in Aquarius demands freedom. Freedom to come and go as one pleases, freedom of thoughts and ideas and the freedom to simply be. This Full Moon brings to fruition the seeds planted at the New Moon of July 26, 2014.  That was a Leo Moon with some stressful aspects in the New Moon chart.  A look at the headlines reflects the planetary lineup.  Political battles have been heating up and this past week things got a bit rough. 

A Full Moon across the Leo/Aquarius dynamic pits the ruling class against the working class.  Leo can personify the benevolent leader or on a less positive side a leader who is focused on self rather than the good of the public.  Most fall somewhere in between.  Aquarius represents humanity and the brotherhood of man.  The downside is the rabble rousing revolutionary who makes revolution simply to create disruption.  Once again, most fall somewhere in between.
As the Moon wanes this week there will be a couple of planetary shifts. The first is Venus’ entry into Leo early Tuesday morning.  Venus in Leo wants to have fun. Social life takes on more importance.  Everybody’s inner child wants to come out and play.

Wednesday morning Moon enters impulsive Aries bringing out folks competitive side. Over the next couple of days Moon will trigger the ongoing Uranus/Pluto square.  Expect some fireworks as the week winds down.  Things are sure to heat up politically along with weather and other upheavals of nature.

Early Friday morning Mars in Scorpio, locked and loaded stretches a hand out across the Zodiac to Pluto in Capricorn.  The aspect between these two is a positive connection but the energy represented by Mars and Pluto is not always so positive. Mars is the warrior and the bringer of strife. Pluto brings transformation but something has to go first so often Pluto is perceived as a destroyer.  This joining of forces speaks of purification, purging and the desire to change.  On the upside there can be a sharing of resources and territory.

At midday on Friday Mercury slides home to Virgo.  Mercury gets very practical here. News and information tend to be more factual and detailed now.  Hyperbole is recognized for what it is, a load of bullshit.  Folks tend to look at things with a critical eye. 

As the weekend begins Moon moves into Taurus and stubborn becomes the key word.  Fine dining and shopping make folks happy. A good weekend to spend on something that will make you feel good, something you can touch, something sensual. Enjoy!
