Full Moon in Pisces 17/18 September 05
September 18, 2005
I want to introduce you to my wonderful friend,Margaret
Koolman. She is an English astrologer and co-author with me
of our book GATEWAY TO THE SOUL: The Heart of Astrology. We
intend to have our book published early 2006.
Enjoy this very rich information from Margaret:
Full Moon in Pisces 17/18 September 05 by Margaret Koolman
I haven’t been talking about Full Moons in
these e-mails, but the next one looks rather striking, so I
thought a comment might be valuable. One noteworthy
transit is Jupiter moving fast through the last part of
Libra during September/October. At the Full Moon, Jupiter
will be exactly opposite the new planet, 2003 UB313, in
Aries (notes on this planet are included below). There is
a struggle between Aries’ driving energy, and Libra’s
cautious moves towards balance and harmony. So during the
following two weeks, there is likely to be frustration and
impatience, even though the desired result is harmony and
justice (Jupiter in Libra emphasises the forceful Aries
qualities that it is opposing).
Since the beginning of 2004, hidden aspects
of potentially turbulent situations will have been coming
to the surface (Pluto in Sagittarius has been trining UB313
in Aries). Pluto is known for revealing things that bring
about transformation, and the revealing stage is almost
complete (the trine finishes this month). One thing that
has been revealed is UB313 itself, and astrologers’
acceptance of it will be completed when the astronomers
decide officially what name to call the planet. Over the
last 21 months, you personally may have found hidden layers
being revealed in a difficult area of your life, and this
coming month could bring a sense of things falling into
place, of understanding what the last year or so has been
about! Any transformative growth will be manifested in the
next couple of weeks in very practical, down-to-earth ways
(Jupiter sextiles Pluto in the Full Moon chart, and they
are both exactly quincunx Mars in Taurus). As long as the
motivation is for general, rather than personal, benefit,
the changes will serve also those who make them.
A problem that rises, when the Full Moon is
in Pisces, is a tendency to be unfocused, and express very
strong emotional reactions. This year, there is likely to
be much moralising about fine ideals when faced with
situations like the New Orleans flooding (Sun/Mercury in
Virgo opposite Moon creates a T-square with Pluto).
Criticism of circumstances and actions so far could waste
the healing energy, and change nothing. If the focus is
not on general benefit, changes tend to take place through
struggling with blockages, instead of improvements being
made smoothly, and more suffering is felt than is
necessary.
All this tells us that, as long as we make
the most of present energy to change the way things are
done so that all benefit, any damage can be remedied and
healed, and systems can be set in place so that such damage
is less likely in future. I’m not talking about only New
Orleans, but other troubled situations in the world, and
also possibly in personal life, where what we knew is
swamped to the point that it can never be the same again.
However you respond to changing circumstances in your own
life will give power to the way humanity responds in larger
situations. We need to accept circumstances as they
present themselves, before we can do anything to alleviate,
or remedy, them. One quick howl, perhaps! But then
immediate acceptance and constructive effort are essential.
If we can do this now, the transformative effects in the
next few weeks will be enormous and wonderful.
One more thing about this Full Moon chart:
we may find ourselves personally dealing with deep issues
of loneliness and not being recognised (Venus in Scorpio
square Saturn). This goes for society and groups of
people, as well as individuals. We often place ourselves
in a lonely position, as a protection from over-dependency
on others that would prevent our own autonomy. So the sure
way through any lonely inner swamp is to recognise the real
presence and gifts of others, without giving up our
autonomy (Venus trines Uranus, who quincunxes Saturn).
Even in larger social conditions, however deep the empathy
for those who are suffering, we need to stand back a bit,
in order to see what will help. Saturn being in Leo
suggests it is likely to be egos that get in the way of
empathic understanding, but it will take those with big
hearts to make the necessary difference. For us all,
others experiencing great loss can bring us to the
appreciation of what we have.
Please join with me for a moment, allowing your mind and
heart to create a huge column of light and love linking all
of us, including those suffering from the physical effects
of earthly life, with the oneness and wellness of all
things.
Comments on 2003 UB313
In my missive about the ‘New Moon in Leo,’
I spoke about the ‘tenth planet’ 2003 UB313. It is
probably larger than Pluto, and at present is twice as far
from the Sun. Its orbit is around 560 years, as opposed to
Pluto’s 248. At the moment it is at about 21 Aries. We
still haven’t heard from the astronomers who decide these
things whether the name really will be Xena, even though
it’s being widely used. Insofar as that is the name we
have, we would regard the planet’s message as being about
the feminine warrior image – girl-power! I asked for any
thoughts on ‘Xena’ as a possible name, and here are some
responses (thank you all for your thoughts):
‘According to the write-up on the back of a book called
‘Shambala The Sacred Truth of The Warrior’ by Chogyam
Trungpa, the book offers 'an inspiring vision for our time,
based on the figure of the sacred warrior. In ancient times
the warrior learned to master the challenges of life both
on and off the battlefield. He acquired a sense of personal
freedom - not through violence or aggression, but through
gentleness, courage and self-knowledge . The Japanese
Samurai, the warrior-kings of Tibet, the knights of
medieval Europe, and the warriors of the Native American
tribes are a few examples of this sacred tradition of
wisdom.'
‘Could it be that the discovery of this planet might
indicate a shift in awareness for humanity, that war no
longer works? that nothing is gained by fighting another to
have the life we want, rather we need each one of us to be
willing to go on the warrior's journey to find personal
fulfilment.’
‘Is there something here about the Rainbow Warrior? Seven
colours in the rainbow can refer to the seven major chakras
in the body – is this about the determination to develop
ourselves as fully functioning human beings?’
This planet will be relevant to our movement into the
Aquarian Age, where we are each to stand on our own.
Although, in the greater view of things, we understand that
we are actually not separate, we each have to deal
responsibly with our own experiences. We tend to think of
‘a warrior’ as the same as ‘a soldier,’ and yet there is a
big difference between them. Whereas a soldier is an
obedient fighting machine who takes orders from someone
else, a ‘warrior,’ in the fullest sense, is one who can
stand alone, with their own understanding of things, and
who acts according to their own judgement - Aquarian.
