Full Moon on the Day of Mars

Tuesday, June 2 Marsday of Airweek and your muscles need attention, don’t they? Stretch ‘em, massage ‘em, work ‘em baby! One’s Will has lot in common with muscle tissue. Like a muscle, The Will becomes stronger the more one work’s it. As an exercise today, find something that you regularly do automatically, and don’t do it, with the intent of giving one’s Will a workout. Or stop by Metaversal Lightcraft today, where I have been leading a Karma Yoga Workshop every Tuesday for the last year. Luna becomes Full in Sagittarius with a promise of positive change. Sagittarius represents, on the level of the first octave, the period between Conception and 7 weeks, the first Lunar month after the sperm reaches the egg, and is a compacted pattern at a molecular time scale of the entire life of the cellular body. The embryo develops in parallel with the earlier phases of evolution, retaining memory of these structures in the brain. On the level of the fourth octave (see Chapter 9 of the Metaversal Lightcraft Training Manual for more on the Four Octaves), Sagittarius represents Initiation beyond the realms of Death (Scorpio). On the World scale, Sag occupies the period between AD 1500 and AD 1750, The Renaissance. This was the time when astrology, mathematics, musick and geometry were understood as divine techniques for communicating with the Soul of the World. With the Moon in Sagittarius we are into philosophical speculation, adventure, and foreign influences, and actions that expand the awareness through gathering unfamiliar experiences.It’s time to start filling a new empty place in our life. A tight connection between Mars and Pluto is active, intense and potentially explosive. Yet the Sabian symbol gives direction for absorbing and using this lunation’s gift: A FLAG BECOMES AN EAGLE, AN EAGLE BECOMES A PROUD CHANTICLEER…. mounting mastery, extreme good fortune. These transformative images resonate with the waning square from Uranus in Aries, ruled by Mars, to Pluto, the aspect that triggered the spiritual warrior within over the last three years. Not to say that we should get under the rug with our mala or rosary; the Sabian symbol for the Sun underscores the element of challenge: A BLACK SLAVE GIRL DEMANDS HER RIGHTS OF HER MISTRESS. Africa was the cradle not only of our genes, but of the legacy of ancestral cultures that recognized the sacred feminine. The slave girl is like the being of power we all have repressed inside, and she now emerges in worthiness. Ask what behaviors, memories and situations keep you in the condition of self-repression, and declare your freedom from them. Affirm, visualize and act with courage to connect with cosmic assistance that will ease our way and shield us from heated confrontation with others, which is a potential with this lunation. In the morning or at midday, do something healing for the inner self—in therapy, journaling, visualization, affirmations like those shared here or in our Full Moon ritual. From that space of power, offer a measure for an oppressed social group, to transmute the energy of outer conflict and separation that might be projected into the collective during this portal. Such morning activities will also open us to receive continued good fortune this afternoon, when a trine from Moon in Sagittarius to its ruler, Jupiter in Leo, makes for joyful sharing, productive promotion, inspired creativity and just plain good luck.
