A Full Moon in Support of Relationship Healing and Soul Intention

Tuesday morning's Full Moon is an important configuration, bringing us to a new take on our ongoing theme of searching within ourselves to more fully explore the way that we handle relationship, and other matters also. This includes inner wounding that presents barriers to growth and necessary transformation. All these areas are closer than usual to the surface of our thoughts. We are investigating, as well as the energy that we have for others, the potential for our own breakthrough. In an unusual and potent chart feature, this Full Moon's ruler, Venus, representing relationship and aesthetics, is quite prominently placed, having landed herself directly between Jupiter and Mars, themselves already in reasonably close conjunction. This triple conjunction of very visible planets is available as a light show just before dawn each early morning this week, as October draws to its close.

In this Full Moon configuration, Venus is also in close aspect to Uranus and directly opposite Chiron, the Wounded Healer, bringing the subject of internal patterns based on early trauma. This symbolism indicates that we are coming, perhaps through some degree of relationship instability, or one way or another, to greater conscious insight into our partnering patterns. Once we begin to better understand ourselves at depth, this type of sincere and profound exploration serves to enlighten us concerning our true objectives.

Venus and Mars are coming closer and closer together for the next week or so, until they reach the perfection of their conjunction with the Last Quarter Moon of November 3rd. These final two weeks of the lunation cycle are therefore filled with an action orientation in service to relationship issues and concerns, as well as for aesthetics and cooperation between opposing points of view. The resulting increase in the attention that we pay to these more feminine values might prove to be extremely helpful as we continue to navigate our ongoing transformational mandate to change and grow, and to become more aware of our own inner world.

The mystical idealism of Neptune is also highlighted now and throughout the current cycle, so that there is a somewhat spacey, imaginative, and otherworldly air to the current proceedings. This also leads us, through creative introspection, to greater awareness of the implicit extra-dimensionality of our lives. While we live mostly in realms of the physical, we also simultaneously partake of that which is beyond the physical, and this simple yet inescapable truth is being brought strongly home to our philosophical exploration over these final days of October.

All of the intensity of these times has as its backdrop the forming square between Uranus and Pluto, which lasts through the remainder of the decade. These two powerhouse planetary archetypes, each highlighted in this Full Moon, draw closer up through the ending of this year, coming within one degree of exact by next January. This transpires in the aftermath of the seven exact collisions that have already taken place, most recently at the beginning of 2015, which therefore makes this in some ways a quite pivotal year. On a personal level, we now know, in many cases, what we need to do in order to enact necessary transformation within our daily lives, and the remaining issue lies in doing it.

The Sabian Symbols for this Full Moon are quite interesting. For the Sun, in the 4th degree of Scorpio, we have: "A youth holding a lighted candle," emblematic of the inner work that we all have going on, in one way or another, during this powerful end-of-year timing. Marc Edmund Jones has, "a symbol of a true contact with inner and transcendental realms of reality... an unquenchable and irresistible confidence in the goodness and integrity of all things." For the Moon, in the same degree of Taurus, we find an echo of the same idea, in: "The rainbow's pot of gold." Jones references "the true incentives... of the rewards which are guaranteed by an eternal covenant between the least of individuality and the universal matrix of life itself." Indeed, we win when we can acknowledge the vastness of our relationship to Spirit working through us, and, just as much as our light-filled essence, through our dark areas. It is vitally important to recognize that these hidden and anxiety-filled places inside us form a significant and inescapable part of our human condition, and of our connection to the surrounding cosmos that supports and sustains us.
