Intense Full Moon Square the Nodes Eclipse Activation

During this month's full moon we're reaching a point where we are starting to move forward on the activities, events, or ideas we had around the eclipse that happened in November 2021. That eclipse happened on November 18 and 19 and was very impactful for many people because it was the first taste of new energy surrounding the eclipses that we had had for a year and a half.

Prior to this we were experiencing eclipses in the Sagittarius and Gemini axis of our chart, and at this time there was only 1 more Sag/Gem eclipse to complete that cycle -- so if we were messing around we needed to shit or get off the pot, so to speak.

For me Sagittarius and Gemini share the axis between my 12th House and my 6th house. These houses represent both our physical and mental health, as well as my every day life including both my health routines (or lack thereof if that may be the case) and my daily work environment -- and having shakeups in those areas can be extremely difficult for people -- our health is closely tied to our understanding and expectations surrounding mortality, but I was fortunate. (For those who are interested I have Venus in the 6th house, and she is my most powerful positive influence in my chart, so I am luckily relatively protected in matters of physical health.)

My mental health though, not necessarily so protected. My mental health had been impacted pretty heavily for my previous standards (as in, not objectively serious on a strictly objective and non-personal scale, but on a very personal and subjective scale of my own experience with fluctuations in my mental health so far in my life). this came as quite a shock to me, because I had been lucky up until then to experience a mostly even keel experience with my mental health, save for times where I was triggered by my abandonment issues.

Those energies will be in place for the next 18 years, save for some updates we'll experience with other planetary motivations as time goes on and. Welp. Now we're on to the next. We will be discussing eclipses more broadly and more all encompassing in the future during the actual eclipse seasons that will take place during Taurus and Scorpio season this year, in April and May and October and November.

Generally eclipses are similar to new and full moons, but they're more impactful, and usually the fall out and actions we take seem like they're less in our control.

This full moon is taking place while the Sun is in Aquarius, and the Moon is in Leo. This generally will feel like an illumination of how you can stand out to make the world a better place. This could be on a small scale, or a large scale. It depends very much on what else is going on in your chart, and what area of life this is illuminating for you. But generally, that's what Leo is all about.

Leo gets a bad rep for being self centered and always wanting to have the attention of the audience. Actually, Leo is really about is knowing your value, and using your gifts and talents generously as a leader in your chosen field. Leo is the king, and he is a well loved leader because he is generous and leads with his heart. Leo also rules many other things that as a society we should be participating in and spending more time on. I'm not sure why our society looks down on Leo (and Leo themes) so much, because, really, Leos have it figured out.

Lately we've been looking forward to an Aquarian age where we're all "doing better than we were" but we're mostly doing it through blending in. Don't get it twisted, in order to stay mostly on track I'm going to stifle a desire to tangent about the upcoming Age of Aquarius but if you're interested in reading more about Aquarius I can recommend this article and toward the end of this article.

(There's nothing wrong with unity, and in fact it is paramount to stand against enemies, but we've reached a place were individualism is not celebrated, and in fact is demonized under a false guise of radical acceptance -- radical acceptance unless you disagree with me, we'll say. And while I believe that this concept is something we'll see play out on a broader scale in society, I'm not ready to be predicting things, so let's get back on track. )

Leo is about unconditional love for the self and others. It's about acceptance, warmth, laughter, and play. It rules children, hobbies, and uniqueness. Everyone thinks that Aquarius rules being unique, and I dunno, maybe it does. When people talk about individualism in relation to Aquarius it's always in a way that's orienting A COLLECTIVE toward rebellion, bucking the tide, and going against the grain -- it's about slowly creating a movement of others to do that with you. (Not to mention it kind of seems a bit begrudgingly when it comes to Aquarius energy...Saturn rules the sign, so it can be a bit difficult. Anyway.) The person leading an Aquarian revolution is a Leo. That's why they share an axis. Remember, an important aspect of astrology is about finding the truth in opposites.

The reason that this full moon is more prominent than others is because it's half way between the November 19th, 2021 eclipse and the next eclipse that will happen on April 30, and May 16 2022. That means that this will be activating 4 aspects of your life ... and this time it'll be ones that you were not expecting to really on the table for major shakeups.

This is happening in the 4 places of your life that you have stable energy ruling it. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius are the 4 stable energies, because they occur during the middle of the season that they occur during. (Aries season kicks off Spring, Taurus season occurs during the middle of Spring, an Gemini transitions into Summer.) This symbolism means that you're pretty secure in the way that things are in those parts of your life.

If you're unsure what your rising sign is you could always send me a message and I'll be happy to give you a totally free tour of your natal chart so you can have a better idea what I'm talking about during these essays.

Here's an example from my life so maybe you'll be able to visualize it in yours. I'm a Capricorn rising, which means that I have my fixed signs on my financial, creative expression, and audience axes.

In November, I personally had a really hard eclipse. I'm hoping that they won't all be as hard as that one was, but I believe that it was because I was pretty far out of alignment when it occurred. I had been working at a retail store that I had worked at for many years, and even though it felt very sudden and like I was being very over dramatic I just couldn't do it any longer.

I had a lot of guilt and shame around it, but after the decision was made I felt no regret and knew that I needed to put the time and effort that I was offering to that major corporation into building my own thing -- even if the timing was poor and I burned a bridge that I had maintained for 13 years before that. I'm not proud of it, but it is what it is.

Over the previous 18 months while the activity was in Sag/Gem, I had been working toward honoring my mental health, and having an Eclipse on an axis that is very prominent in my chart (I'm Taurus Sun/Scorpio Moon) was VERY impactful and I felt like there was nothing else I could do. It felt like I was totally isolated because even though I was surrounded by people in this retail environment I was having identical, meaningless, menial conversations with people -- essentially as a cashier. I've said it before, there's nothing wrong with that position and it's a perfectly good job as long as it pays a fair wage, but it was not for me for multiple reasons.

1. Scorpio needs intensity, it needs seriousness, it needs things to be complex and multifaceted. And I have this in my audience and community space. I felt like an NPC at this job. I was really good at it, but it didn't feel like a compliment to be really good at this. It just meant that after 13 years I was efficient. Cool. Scorpio yawns at efficiency being praised.

2. I needed to get out because it took up my time that I needed to be spending on THIS. My creativity was stifled. Everything was the same. Every conversation was the same. Every transaction was the same. Every day was the same. Every sale was the same. I was emotionally exhausted and putting no time into anything of value. Truly, as i said in #1, I wasn't valued, and I wasn't really doing anything that was of value externally, and certainly there was no impact on the world being made. And so the universe gave me the most uncomfortable emotions possible, and I was forced out.

For you, dear anonymous reader, this could be happening in 1 of 3 combos in your chart. If you don't know what your rising sign is then you can just read them all, and see what happens in your life going forward an see how it goes. Of course my recommendation is to just go to astrodienst online and get your chart made. If you need or want a tutorial on how to cast your chart on astrodienst just send me a message and I'll happily forward over a tutorial video I've already created for that. :) I've already told you about natal chart tours in this post, so I'll leave it at that.

If you're a fixed sign or stabilizer - Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius this is going to be a very notable year and a half for you. You'll have this energy being activated over and over in different ways. The houses that are impacted are the major components of your natal chart separate from planets. This is happening in relation to both you and your partnerships, as well as at home and at work. This is how you're showing up in the world in basically every aspect, and how you will continue to show up and play the role of "YOU". Everything is up for review, especially how you see yourself and what it means to be you when you're on the stage of life.

Who is the person who shows up in your version of "the spotlight"? Who you are in a relationship? Your partners and the role they play in your life is also up for review. There will likely be major circumstances that are out of your control, but eclipses are here to bring us the fated events that move us forward on the roller coaster track of life. I've yet to commit to whether or not astrology is proof of fate, or whether or not free will reigns supreme, but what I do know is that you can only ever justify the events of your life looking backwards, and this will likely be a time in your life where you'll look back and say "that's around the time when everything changed".

This shouldn't scare you, it should excite you! Remember that even if something changes that you would have never selected off the menu of life, you'll eventually be able to justify it backwards, and see that THIS could never have happened or came to you without THAT.

If you're a cardinal sign rising, or a initiator - Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn, this is happening in your houses of finance, creative expression and audience. This is an illumination of the dynamic between what you do creatively to express yourself, who receives it and you as your audience and how that impacts you financially. Not every single initiator will become someone who earns significant or even any wealth from their creative pursuits, but they are inevitably be tied together in some way. This could have to do with spending money on hobbies, art work, fun oriented things like plays, concerts, events, or supplies, or even your children -- you created them too! This doesn't have to be related to money that you've earned, and could represent money or resources from your partner's pool, debt or a tax credits. Something is happening in these areas that will inevitably impact the others. This sounds so exciting to me and if I could choose which version of this full moon effect could have on me it would be this one! Luckily... I AM an initiator type. :)

The 3rd option is you could be a mutable sign rising, or adapter - Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces, and if that's the case than this will be occurring in your houses of knowing and doing. These 4 houses are the 3rd house of elementary or broader education, intelligence and communication, the 9th house of wisdom, philosophy, and culture, the 6th house of everyday work tasks and health routines, and the 12th house of mental health, dreams, the subconscious, and the "the hidden". I listed out your houses because even though it was easy to say "the houses of knowing and doing" I felt like these houses are very broad even just individually, and so even though this energy isn't taking place in "your sign" it's taking place in prominent parts of your chart that impact you all day every day. This is the 2nd most impactful version of this event, and it's happening to you, buddy.

My guess is that over the next year and a half especially you'll become much more aware of what your beliefs are, because both what you learn and what you know to be true will start to become incompatible with certain things that you are doing on the daily, and what you're doing on the daily will start to shape what you believe and what information you seek to know. There will likely be aspects or events that will start to make you more aware of your subconscious and that will start to download into your philosophy of life. Once your philosophy of life is updated and you've got the proper technical knowledge to actually enact changes in your life, it will be impossible to go back to your old self.

You were just impacted very heavily over the last year and a half with Sagittarius and Gemini houses being impacted so intensely, so you're just moving into the next version of yourself and it's going to have very prominent impacts on your daily experience.

Regardless of where this is happening in your chart, this is a culmination, or a completion of something. Sometimes completions are very exciting, like we've crossed the finish line of something and now its time for a celebration!

Other times culminations are difficult for us because for some reason as humans we expect the things we think are good or going well to continue on forever. I don't believe that it's valuable to live in fear that good things in your life will end, (I also believe in the law of attraction, so I personally believe that to be self sabotage anyway) but even if you don't believe in the power of mindset and positivity to dwell in the possibility of degradation or dissolution is degrading your mental wellness in the moment and that really does impact your health, which I personally believe impacts you on a grand scale day to day, year to year, and years make up a life time, fool!

So don't spend time worrying about what this big event will culminate with. If it is a dissolving of a relationship, work arrangement, or otherwise seemingly positive dynamic in your life, prepare yourself for the new beautiful thing that is scheduled to arrive over the next cycle of time. There's nothing else to do but your best.

If you have questions about what this could mean for your chart, you already know what to do -- because I already talked about it above!
