We will be having a Full Moon in Aquarius on July 31st at 10:43am Universal Time. It is the second one of July, which we refer to as a “Blue Moon” in modern times. This happens every 2-3 years.

The origins of the term Blue Moon trace back to the Maine Farmer’s Almanac in the 19th Century. However, it originally referred to the 3rd of 4 Full Moons in a season, and interestingly was not associated with a calendar month like it is today. Therefore we now have both seasonal and calendar Blue Moons, this one being the latter. I have found that in some cases the events and circumstances which occur during these Moons may ring true to the “once in a blue moon” definition.

About Full Moons

Full Moons are the peak of the Moon cycle, as this is when the light of the Sun completely fills the Moon and marks the beginning of the following 2 week period when the light starts fading. This is known as the “waning phase.” Symbolically, because this is when the light begins to recede, this represents a time of release. Full Moons are generally the most intense and lively time of the Moon cycle.

God said:

You were always meant to be. There never was a time when you were not. Always you have been My beloved. Never have you not been, only now you are My beloved Sleeping Beauty.

I went Knock Knock, and one day you clearly heard My knock. The rest is history, as they say.

We are One Breath. We are superimposed upon each other, as it were. There is togetherness. We walk in Oneness. My robes are yours.

My children, you, the version of Me in the form of yourself, tend to get absent-minded. Your mind goes off on a tangent. We can call the world a tangent. It is a tangent. Nevertheless, it is a tangent that inevitably leads to Me, that is, inevitably leads to your Awareness of Me. We can call it a Meeting with Me as if for the first time.

You are catching up. You are catching up right to where you sense Our relationship of Oneness unlike any other. You never were the image you have had of yourself. You were not made in your image but in Mine, solidly in Mine.

Your desire for Me is My desire for you. We are Oneness. We swirl in Oneness. We do a dance of Oneness. You believe you sweep across the Universe and have adventures. We are the adventure, beloveds. Oneness is the adventure. We sit at home by the fireside of love. The figment called you sees pictures pass before you. We always are at Home in Infinity. We are established in Infinity. In Truth, there is nowhere else to be.

And then you ask: “Why this misadventure into the physical world then? Must we have it, God?”

This week has potential as a fortunate week for all of the signs. Four planets form a stellium in the Sun’s home sign, Leo, all week long, including Sun, Venus, and Jupiter! (Mercury rounds out the stellium.) Mars trines Saturn in water signs, connecting the two traditionally malefic planets. Mars in Cancer trining Saturn in Scorpio actually forms a trio at the end of the week, with both planets aspecting the mighty Vulcanus (Transneptunian). A great deal of force and control is behind ambition by the end of the week, a superb combination with the Leo stellium for those on earth, who recognize and seize the opportunities from the heavens.

Indeed, with so many planets in late degrees this week, opportunities to benefit from the persistence and stability of Admetos (Transneptunian) and the good fortune and multiplication effect of Apollon (Transneptunian) abound. All three of the outer titans beyond Saturn (Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) are retrograde and either in home sign (Neptune) or in mutual reception (Uranus-Pluto). The outer trio gives the sense of a chance to retreat or consider what the “big picture” has in store over the longer term. For now, the Leo stellium is stealing the show.

At this stage in history, many of us are fed up with “humanity.” Yet, we find goodness in people all day long, love one another, and manage to act kindly. So, we are made of light and dark. Unfortunately, however, our collective darkness has shrouded much a bright future for humanity. But with a little help from our friends, each of us, at any moment and for the moment, can act brightly and kindly — with excellence.

Outspoken climate science researcher and professor emeritus of conservation biology, Guy McPherson, is the one who planted in my head this notion of pursuing excellence at this crucial time in history. He speaks of exhibiting good manners, especially in the face of turmoil. This essay explores what I think is needed to pursue a life of excellence and what it might entail relative to our ailing biosphere and our own species on the edge of extinction (as communicated in this article from The Atlantic magazine.)

“Have I gone mad?” asked the Mad-Hatter. “I’m afraid so, you’re entirely bonkers”, Alice replied, “but I’ll tell you a secret… all the best people are.”

The exchange above is from Lewis Carroll’s notorious fictional story, Alice in Wonderland, which in my professional opinion stands with more validity than today’s psychiatric and mental health paradigms. In fact, Alice shares the same view some of the greatest thinkers of all-time such as Socrates who once declared: “Our greatest blessings come to us by way of madness, provided the madness is given us by divine gift.” Plato too referred to insanity as “a divine gift and the source of the chief blessings granted to men.”

So, to best understand bipolar disorder the modern day epidemic of medicated “madness”, down the rabbit hole we go…
