This full moon in Capricorn (at 11:39 PM, Thursday 7/14) is a lot like a new sheriff in town. And this sheriff has some serious work to do. The unconscious criminals have been slipping in and out of our lives to perpetrate layer after layer of frustration, anger, and confusion. For some, the unconscious criminals are robbing us of our physical well-being. For others, they're stealing our sense of emotional stability, our financial security, and our creative expression. And this is ALL in service (believe it or not) to transforming the nature of how we relate. First with our selves, then with one another, and finally with Mother Earth.
The reason for this, in astrological terms, is the Moon's current transit through Capricorn conjuncts with Pluto today, building up some serious transformational mojo as it opposes Venus in Cancer (which has been opposed to Pluto for the past couple of weeks), en route to tomorrow nights opposition with the Sun, also in Cancer. And all of this in the midst of the aforementioned (previous blog post) cardinal grand-cross that has us all feeling like life is a never-ending pressure cooker, ready to explode if one more shock hits our already overly-traumatized nervous system.
You want movement, yet you feel stuck. Stuck in the habituated patterns of your mind. And you're holding on for dear life. Well, it's not really you holding on, it's your ego. But for the vast majority, there's no distinction between the two. Even for those who make the distinction, fewer still have the fortitude to step up and actually reconcile the ego's perpetual denial of any conscious choice that's inconsistent with the ego's habituated patterns of likes and dislikes, myths, attitudes, and gestalts that have been maintained to limit or diffuse the opportunity of love and bliss abundantly available in every moment. But alas we forget, again and again. And with the human mind preferring misery over change, it appears we're doomed to ride this wounded pony into the ground, and die a painful death at the hands of these unconscious criminals.
But wait. Like a good neighbor, the full moon in Capricorn is here, raining down the elixir of truth. Not the truth we want to believe about ourselves. Not the truth we've fantasized about ever since our egos developed around the age of 7. No, this is the truth we feel in the hearts, outside the madness and chaos of the egoistic mind. It isn't always pretty, and often it can feel downright ugly, but this truth is none-the-less ours. And it's what we came here to be. This truth is unique to the individual, translatable through your natal birth chart, and it's yours to contribute to the whole. Unique to no one is the power of this time to transform your life in accordance with what you feel called to contribute, in service to this world.
The moon in Capricorn offers us the ability, here and now, to take all the emotional "stuff" we've gone through in the past few weeks, and create a new structure, a new pattern with it. It requires, of course, that we heal the wounds we've been carrying for way too long. For some that can happen in an instant. For those who ascribe to the collective belief that we have to work for our healing, then now is the time to do the work. Whether it's yoga, bodywork, counseling, breathwork, qi gung, pilates, surfing, whatever helps you balance yourself and work this accelerating energy through your body, there's no room for further delay. If you're aware that Self-realization is what you came here for. That fulfillment of your purpose is the reason for playing this absurdly horrific and profoundly beautiful game of life. That unconditional love exists in equal measure to the combative nature of the conditioned mind.... then now's the time to let the new sheriff do his job and cease and desist the unscrupulous control of your unconscious ego. If we continue moving along like nothing is wrong, skipping over this requisite healing by numbing our consciousness with the myriad substances (television, alcohol, pharmaceuticals, sugar, etc) available in mass quantitiy, we will destroy this planet.
Regardless of your beliefs, or your unique approach to life, EARTH - the organism upon which all life relies for survival - is shifting. What it's shifting into is up to each and every one of us. It is shaking apart the old structures and forms because they have been built by our collective unconsciousness. The corruption running rampant throughout human culture and within nearly every structure, is identical to that which is destroying the fabric of our collective consciousness. As within, so without.
And this is what the full moon in Capricorn is here to expose, for those with eyes willing to see. To see our unconscious judgements, our fears of rejection and our false beliefs, we must pay close attention to the mechanism we are that keeps us asleep. And then, wake up.
Here's my advice this full moon. Look in the mirror. See it all. It is plain as day, and ripe for transformation. Pay attention to EVERYTHING you see, but don't identify with it as anything separate. A baby's unencumbered laughter. That's you. Murderous bombings in Mumbai. That's you, too. The bliss and the suffering go hand-in-hand. And if you remain in your center throughout, attached to neither, dis-identified yet embracing of both, you will see your Self in all and you will see God in all. And then, like magic, you will see that you are co-creating with the creator, because the two are not separate...i.e., you are not separate from God. The planet's have aligned to show us where our unconscious ego separates us again and again from the divine, the truth, the way I AM, and it's up to you and me to say Stop. No more. This takes great courage. Extraordinary strength. Endless integrity. And infinite love.
And what will we get in return? Great courage. Extraordinary strength. Endless integrity. And infinite love.
You get what you give.
In gratitude to all for your unique contribution to our collective awakening,
