Henry Seltzer ~ A Full Moon Time Of Brilliance And Of Balance [1]
Tuesday’s Full Moon [2] comes at that time of fulfillment in the lunar cycle, when what was conceived at the moment of inspiration represented by the New Moon [3] two weeks prior becomes seasoned by the intervening trials and insights to become the original idea’s mature flowering and culmination. The masculine and feminine elements of Sun [4] and Moon [4], in their balance across the Zodiac, are symbolically also about relating to one another. In this particular configuration this concept of relationship is also symbolized by a prominent Venus [4], in her own sign of Libra [5], and in aspect with both Saturn [4] and Neptune [4].
Saturn [4] and Neptune [4] are still for one more week caught up in their long-running trine, which brings their antithetical natures into uneasy combination. Saturn [4] represents physical reality and practicality, perhaps even too much of that, while Neptune [4] represents the numinous realm of otherworldly dream imagination that you might consider to be orthogonal to that earthly plane of existence that Saturn [4] symbolizes, in what noted astrologer Antero Ali likes to call the vertical dimension. We need some of each of these for good relating to others around us; both the divine spark, and as well the practicality of being able to work things out together. Since both planetary archetypes are currently in aspect to Venus [4] in her sign of relationship, both come into play right now for getting on with our process of connection, one important part of what we all came here to do.
Saturn [4] with Venus [4] and with Neptune [4] can in some ways stifle the divine spark of imaginative interaction, but this Full Moon [2] also provides another chime with the creativity of divine imagination, because Jupiter [4] in Cancer [5]comes into an exact square with Uranus [4] in Aries [5], both of them at the 13th degree of their respective cardinal signs, and also both aspecting Chiron [4] in Pisces [5]. This Chiron [4] factor symbolizes the profound healing of our original psychological wounding that can now unexpectedly take place.
