THINK LIKE THE SUN

In the FULL MOON of FEBRUARY 7 (4:55pm EST, 9:55pm GMT),
the LEO MOON reflects the light of the AQUARIUS SUN.
One "secret" of this Full Moon is that MERCURY is in the heart of the Sun, in the very same degree. This is a signal of high intelligence, the intellect infused with the creative life energy of the Sun. This offers the opportunity of pure experience. "Think" with your heart.

The Sabian Symbol for this Moon, full at 19 Leo, is one of my personal favorites:
A BARGE MADE INTO A HOUSEBOAT IS FILLED WITH REVELERS.
Welcome to the house boat party! This is a celebratory Moon, with all sorts of good reasons to gather with people and experience the energy convergence.
Recently I was with a gathering on a remote rocky beach on the far end of St. John. Rocks were arranged into a fire pit to roast cheese-filled jalapenos and s'mores. How this multigenerational collection of a dozen people crossed paths here was stuffed with stories. It was instant community. We watched the planets pop out in the darkening sky, Venus, Jupiter and the Moon making an arch across the sky. More stars emerged. Mars rose in the face of goddess Virgo.

With the recent solar activity, and more to come, the increase of invisible plasma in our solar system is weaving the web on so many levels, particularly the psychic internet or inner-net. There is an edge of over-ampage, with the electrical surges that Aquarius is capable of channeling. Mercury rules the nervous system, so keep breathing with your feet on the ground. A little yoga, t'ai chi, or nature walk goes a long way, remembering that we've got significant earth sign planets to pay attention to.

MARS, RETROGRADE IN VIRGO, calls for extra attention to the body, to health and wellness. The Full Moon is quincunx Mars, five signs apart, necessitating constant adjustment for underlying stress.

The continuing JUPITER/ BLACK MOON conjunction in TAURUS expands our appreciation for natural beauty and the "good things" in life.

NEPTUNE NOW IN PISCES
The Sea God diving into the universal ocean of Pisces is very much at home for the next 14 years.
Gather ye mer-maids and mer-men. Will Atlantis rise again?

Remember the Donovan song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leI7sfmipuI

All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis.
Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist,
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new
Hail Atlantis!
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be…

More new underwater cities have discovered over the last few decades, including the ancient Indian city of Dwarka, home of the blue-skinned Lord Krishna. This important archeological find confirms the historicity of the Mahabharata, the great Hindu spiritual myth. Dating back 12,000 years, this high holy city was last flooded in 3500 years ago, during a series of major inundations. The sea has risen and fallen in a long-term global tide.

How are you experiencing this cosmic tide? This Full Moon has quite a Piscean flavor with Neptune swimming with Chiron again briefly, like the two fish, altering realities and giving reign to our wildest dreams or fantasies. The story line is shifting as we "Row, row, row our boats," along the cosmic rapids. Venus is at the far edge of a sign in which she sings, "Bring me a higher love," along with Steve Winwood. Compassion evokes wisdom.

Neptune will inaugurate new styles and trends in everything from arts and fashion to the collective mood and spirit. Neptune and Pisces are poetic, filmy and musical. The next Moon cycle on February 21 really submerges us in this Neptune-Chiron conjunction, a very interesting and mysterious sea change. More next time.
