What Might Be

Maybe we should look a little forward now to the full moon weekend.  The trouble with looking ahead at what might be is that it could limit the possibilities of what could be.  The nature of astrology is looking where the planets are and reading the symbolism.  But as we know symbols have a mysterious quality.They are multidimensional in interpretation. They can transcend time and place.  Think of Carl Jung's famous dream interpretation case which he recorded in Memories, Dreams and Reflections.  When analyzing the dream of a client with a scarab beetle in it, the very same kind of bug hit the window of the therapy room and became part of the interpretation of the dream. 

Another aspect in reading planetary symbolism is looking at the geometric relationship of the bodies.  A Full Moon, like the one we will have at 10:45 PM EDT Sunday night, means the Sun and Moon are 180 degrees from one another.  The Moon, the planet of our subconscious and emotional needs is lite up completely by the Sun, the source of all light in the universe. Our emotional needs and feelings come to light.  Often people get emotional around Full Moons as they can no longer hide what has been kept in the dark.  It is the time to let it all out.  Because the Sun and Moon are on opposite sides, like a seesaw with the earth in the middle, we can feel pulled in 2 different directions and must be aware of someone or something else that we might have not taken into consideration before. This is very much accentuated this week because the signs the Sun and Moon are passing in front of "so to speak" are Aries the sign  of me, me, me and Libra the sign of you, you, you. Cooperation and balance are called for.  Full moons are felt 2-3 days before and after the exact moment of the Full Moon.  There is an intensity that builds up to a breaking point and then slowly subsides as the crisis lessens.  Watch for it.
