The chart for Tuesday's Full Moon, culmination of the New Moon of Jan 8 (day of the New Hampshire primaries), when set for Washington, DC, has an emphasis on 20--21 AQ bwo Mercury and Neptune.
North Node (a joining point) is conjunct US natal Moon (the people; the public) which gives two midpoint pictures to consider...
Neptune/NN = ASC: appearing strange to others; being duped; inhibitions; deceit from others.
Nep/NN = Moon: lack of adaptability or of community spirit; cessation of inner understandings between people; disappointments.
There may be some indications of health issues ("2Leo" = "An epidemic of mumps" but this could refer to the spread of infectious financial worries based more on emotions than on real statistics), yet the Goal (MC = "10Sag"; the WHY? Point) is REWARD with the Basis or Foundation (IC = "10Gem") having CRISIS at the HOW Point of the chart.
Is someone pulling financial strings to create crisis for their own gain? Well, didn't 9/11 do the same?
And if you noticed my post of a few days ago on current Jupiter transits to the US chart, 2008 finds no one likely to be impressed with the US financially. As you may read on the Full Moon chart, the US' Saturn (reponsibility; authority) is focal planet of Moon/Pluto ("zeal; upheavals; deep emotions") so we have...
Moon/Pluto = Saturn: pressure to regroup forces and plan anew; constraint; depression; inclination to feelings of loss. That's
feelings which may be causing overactions all over the global markets...'demoralizing' is a word I'm hearing a lot, how 'bout you?
And I keep wondering how the modern progeny of the PROMIS software is involved in the current crises in world markets--software which can track finances and change whatever numbers it likes with a quick twitch of the globalist's finger, and your piggybank balance goes Pouf! at their whim. But of course we don't know just
who has the software, so we may be watching tech wars in world stockmarkets more than actual loss.
And so...with this Full Moon--the
Wolf Moon of
January (when the hungry wolves howl outside the door) occurring within the 6/12 axis for Washington, you may want to search elsewhere for the Moon and Sun's Sabian Symbols for "1/2Leo" and "1/2AQ" and many sites and blogs will be emphasizing these degrees, I guarantee.
Therefore, I rebelliously give the Symbols for "20AQ" and "21AQ" instead, the idealistic, imaginative combo of
Mercury/Neptune, with its capacity for special awarenesses. The first Symbol is one the world could really use about now and reminds us of the dove Noah sent out to find safe haven:
"20AQ"..."A big white dove, a message bearer"...CONVICTION...
pos: a facility for ordering all personal desires in a cosmic framework and a gift for knowing when to act and what to do;
neg/unconscious/shadow side: sanctimonious self-deception. (Dr.Marc Edmond Jones,
The Sabian Symbols in Astrology.)
("Message bearer" reminds me of the NASA's Messenger to Mercury, the messenger. Yet Neptune with Mercury may be "inspired young person" or "loss of a young person." We have Cheney's occupation of the Middle East to do plenty of that.)
Using the rounding-up method for Mercury/Neptune we have:
"21AQ"..."A woman disappointed and disillusioned"...CLEARANCE...
pos: the self's inherent gift for pressing on and gaining increased powers with every setback;
neg/uncons/shadow side: acceptance of all defeat as final.
Somehow the last Symbol reminds me of the prez campaign and I keep wondering what sort of publicity is coming up for women (or a woman) with tr NN conjunct US natal Moon 27AQ10 (Sibly.) Hmmm...whistleblower
Sibel Edmonds has been getting more and more attention online.
And then there's Hillary who's already reaping rewards of the meeting of Moon/NN, both of which represent publicity. Neptune/NN is contact with the public also but in a more deceptive, image-hiding-the-truth sort of way. Or perhaps I should say that Neptunian people in the public eye have the ability to reflect back what people want to see, not what's truly there...in a word, acting. Plus, the Moon/Neptune/NN trio has a spiritual influence infused within.
There is a flavor of being misunderstood rising with this Full Moon which may work positively for those trying to veil their true natures, yet it's difficult to hide in the light of a Full Moon!
Click the chart to enlarge and read my notes for more info, if you may. And since the entertaining Leo Moon seeks profuse approval, affection, and applause, here is the admirable Sun-Moon blend of the
Wolf Moon...then you can mosey on to other accolades...
*Sun AQ-Moon Leo (AIR/FIRE): Fearless defender of principle; emotionally idealistic; chivalrous; wise and generous; renaissance man or woman; visionary artist; gentle surface but strong underneath; marked sense of individuality; honorable; proud and regal; fount of wisdom; humanitarianism vs egoism; enthusiastic for new ideas; need for control; vain, despotic, stubborn and arrogant; rational logic + romantic imagination; tends to glamorize other people.
