Getting the Balance Right - this Aries Full Moon

No I ain't blue, baby
but I'm just a little bit lonesome for some love again
Everything is fine
I just don't want to be all by myself

Bonnie Raitt - I Ain't Blue lyrics

This full moon really struck me as a particularly archetypal relationship full moon. It brings up the issues of:

• aloneness versus togetherness,
• being with others versus being alone,
• the issue of being alone and yet not being lonely,
• the pairing between the Moon and the Sun, those energies within us and around us          that signify the feminine (the Moon) and the masculine (the Sun)
• having friends who support and love us

And having people in our lives who we connect with on a deep level.

These issues are often brought up around the time of the full moon as the Sun and the Moon stand at their furtherest points opposite each other. In other words, the time of the full moon represents the time that the male and female energies (animus and anima) are at their most distant, and, yet, this is the time when they can most clearly see each other.

The full moon is, therefore, a time of projection - we often project onto others, onto things, onto events, those things that we think we see outside of ourselves, we really these energies are inside of us.

Under the Hammer - the Dance of Saturn and Venus

Saturn, the planet of restrictions, limitations, boundaries, grief, isolation, as well as rewards for hard work, permanence, durability and those things you know to be real, sometimes all too real, is right now on the degree that Venus went retrograde on, Virgo 3: Two Guardian Angels Bringing Protection. If you want to catch up with the gen about Venus retrograding on this degree, visit this page.

Saturn has been tracing the steps that Venus took up until her apparent about turn. He's showing us the real meaning of commitment, hard work, relationships and boundaries and we're going to have to take notice, at least in some measure, in order to be able to pass the tests that Saturn has in store for us. Venus may have laid the groundwork by easing the way for Saturn in some measure, but Saturn is the one who'll leave the most effect as he recently marched through Leo and will now march through Virgo.

Sink or Swim - 11 September Solar Eclipse

'Swimming over the rocks was dangerous but it was exciting.'
'How can a guy climb trees, say me Tarzan, you Jane, and make a million?'
Throughout my career I swam for form. Speed came as a result of it.'

Johnny Weissmuller - the actor who played Tarzan

September's solar eclipse is set to be a very interesting one, particularly in the light of the fact that it occurs on September 11, a date that is inextricably inked into our subconscious as a moment that many facets of our world changed forever.

Casting the chart of the September 11 solar eclipse for New York, we find that the ascendant degree is almost the same = the angles of the chart of the eclipse line up with the angles of the chart of 9/11, something that certainly is worth mentioning.

The attack on the World Trade Center in New York on that fateful day in 2001 unleashed something in us that is rather hard to define... certainly the world changed for us from that moment forward... and everybody has their own individual take on just how their world changed from that day.

The Sabian Symbol for the Sun in the chart of 9/11 and in this solar eclipse is Virgo 19: A Swimming Race. For some, life feels more and more like a race, perhaps a 'rat race''; that we're all thrown into the same lane and expected to swim like crazy for the finish line - whatever the 'finish line' happens to be.
