This moon wants to wake us all up to the beauty and magic of life.
Here’s a quote from an article by astrologer Melanie Reinhart to explain the Milky Way and our galactic centre.
“The Milky Way is a ‘barred spiral galaxy’, part of the Virgo super-cluster of galaxies. It is believed to be 13-15 billion years old and to contain 100 billion stars! Our Solar System takes 225-250 million years to complete one orbit around the Galactic Centre, and if the size of our galaxy were reduced to 100 metres, our Solar System would be the size of a grain of sand...”
Melanie Reinhart
To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Flower Hold Infinity in the Palm of your Hand And Eternity in an Hour.
William Blake Auguries of Innocence 1803
“The mythic origin of our galaxy, the Milky Way, is portrayed in the story of Hercules, a son of Zeus. However, as his mother was Alcmene, a mortal woman, Hercules was much hated by Hera, the first wife of Zeus. It is said that Zeus put Hercules to Hera’s breast while she was asleep, so that by drinking her milk Hercules could be assured of immortality. Hera awoke to find a suckling baby, not her own, at her breast. Angered, she withdrew her nipple, and her milk streamed across the sky, forming the ‘Milky Way’. The word ‘galaxy’ comes from the same root as the word ‘milky’ [Gk. galaxias].
Astrologically, when the Galactic Centre zone is activated by transits, Hera’s breast is withdrawn, metaphorically speaking. Meaning that the places, people, ideas, notions and events in our life where we have previously projected our own sense of ‘Higher Self’, or ‘Deeper Centre’ as a source of nourishment may collapse, let us down, crumble, turn against us, or simply quietly depart. That which promised ‘immortality’ fails us. Our ‘tribal’ associations, national or racial identities, while valuable on their own level, are relinquished. Through these transitions or crises, our consciousness develops. This may require a great deal of psychological processing, allowing grief and confusion to give way to peace and clarity. Both our physical bodies and subtle bodies may need attention as toxins begin to be eliminated when we travel the ‘celestial pathway’.”
Quote from article written by Melanie Reinhart Astrologer.
The final full moon of this year is in Gemini, which brings in the energies of communication, thought, beliefs and social media. The moon can represent the people. So I wonder what people in general are feeling is being highlighted, for the collective, with this full moon energy ? Full moons imply something needs to be let go of. So what outdated beliefs might you be holding on to that really need to be let go of ? To allow a more appropriate and wiser belief system to emerge.
The Sun in Sagittarius is conjunct what’s known as the Galactic Centre. The astronomy and mythology is in my quote from Melanie Reinhart’s brilliant article about the astrological energies of the Galactic Centre. So astrologically the galactic centre with its black hole at its centre represents heightened awareness, and with Sagittarius as the sign in which the galactic centre finds itself, it requires us to take an evolutionary leap of faith in our own spiritual understanding and connection. This full moon is a perfect time to meditate, and invite in higher learning for ourselves and humanity.
Jupiter, who is the ruler of Sagittarius is in a very harmonious aspect to the full moon bringing support and encouragement to connecting with a higher source.
It may well be that collectively we sense that with yet another Christmas season hit by restrictions, due to the pandemic, that we all want to pray and invite in healing for the world on every level.
This full moon can remind us and bring the hope that miracles can happen, and that collective faith can move mountains.
Also on December 19th, Venus in Capricorn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn, goes into a lengthy retrograde phase. This can feel like someone putting on the brakes, which brings in the energy of the Saturn Uranus square, that is literally restricting our movements again. We may experience unexpected outbreaks of rebellious behaviour from people who just cannot cope much longer with the restrictions which are literal and astrological.
With many countries experiencing yet again partial lockdowns and even full lockdowns looming, Venus retrograde may mean a slowdown in spending and the economy, so that the year ends with a somewhat downward spiral for many economies. Venus is also about love and relationships, and the retrograde combined with the lockdowns may represent a change of plans, with regards to which loved ones we choose to spend time with over the holidays.
Finally to recap this full moon energy. Meditate and keep your intentions tuned to a high frequency to bring healing for the highest good of all. And let go of lower baser vibrational thinking including competition greed, envy and fear. Trust and have faith that as we go through this extraordinary time for humanity, that we are being prepared for the birth of a new and richer and wiser way of living with each other and the planet.
