This is an incredibly powerful Full Moon ahead of eclipse season in August.
Sun and Jupiter Cazimi in Leo – Jupiter has a seat next to the King. The Sun is the ego and associated with leadership. Jupiter is associated with truth and justice. What does Jupiter expand – the ego or the truth? What happens to leaders with big egos?
Sun and Jupiter in Leo are opposed Moon and Pluto in Aquarius. As always Full Moons focus on the opposition between Sun and Moon. But with Jupiter and Pluto in opposition this makes this Full Moon extra powerful. Moon in Aquarius is about ordinary people wanting to live in a society that benefits all. Pluto is connected to letting go and purging. It is associated with death, destruction, decay and war. People have had enough. They need to make fundamentally different choices going forward. Pluto also relates to debt and taxation. Ordinary people are drowning in debt. What needs to change? Could this also speak about the great inequality between those in power with excessive resources and ordinary people with less? What kind of societies emerge with these levels of inequality?
This Full Moon links to outer planets Neptune and Uranus too – this is a profound period of change – creative destruction. Fundamental change in beliefs. We can see it playing out on the battle fields in Ukraine and Iran – the extraordinary war time innovation of cheap drones. Ukraine has been able to dismantle the Russian oil and military infrastructure and destroy their navy and maritime fleet at a fraction of the cost. Iran has closed the Hormuz Strait.
We knew a world where might was right but that looks to be changing with ingenuity and youth. These concepts are being tested on the battle field in real time. Saturn speaks about consequences and Neptune sacrifices.
The extreme fires have caused massive devastation across many parts of Europe and US. Ordinary people have lost everything and will need to rebuild their lives. It is certainly a time of death and rebirth. Leo is a fire sign and Aquarius an air sign. Air feeds fire and this can be incredibly destructive.
Sabian symbols
Sun and Jupiter – The constellations in the sky.
As above so below? Creation in all its glory? What can we create on earth?
Moon – A child born of an eggshell.
Death/rebirth – new cycle starting.
Pluto – A council of ancestors.
Use wisdom from past to rebuild – phoenix rising from ashes?
Uranus – A radical magazine displays a sensational front page.
Truth, knowledge and misinformation – we are seeing more of this with advancing technology and AI. Propaganda and how misinformation gets amplified?
Plenty to ponder at this time.
