This Full Moon tells us about our peaks and our roots, the subtle dance between the feminine and masculine principle …
Our roots are in Mother Earth, (Moon in Cancer). This is the first place; our link to the mother… who is sacred a cocoon, a feeder, (or not) under the conditions of our childhood, our link to the feminine, receptiveness and sweetness…
These roots are inside us both in our soul and our blood family…
Our peaks (Sun in Capricorn) is where we seek to raise our spirit or professional ambition.
There is a subtle distinction between the desire to be, to become, to be more vertical, (reach out to heaven) and the aspiration to accumulate, build, construct, own, and conquer matter.
Are we feeding ourselves from our roots, or are we exploiting them, and mistreating them?
We saw Venus in Retrograde, conjoined with Pluto, evoking the descent of Inanna in the underworld, therefore causing a revision of our values, our attachments, and relationships…
This Full Moon compliments the female archetype, akin to the foster mother (Ceres) and the guardian of the temple (Vesta). They speak to what feeds us, sustains us, supports us, and helps to raise us.
These goddesses tell us about what we give to others and how we can take care of others. But also, they show us how we can keep a sacred space, and a sacred time, to devote and cultivate our own inner garden, and therefore become the guardian of our roots. The roots we choose to keep…
Sometimes we have to go through a great process of transformation; of healing; such as facing a painful family legacy. Do we dare to cut those roots, the roots that prevent us from raising ourselves vertically; our light, our spirit, our soul, our goodness?
This Moon works on the axis of the descent – into the depths; in order to rise to the heights. One does not go without the other…
Cancer is also a sign of our evolution (Pluto is in the opposite sign of Capricorn). The energies of Cancer are asking us to integrate the feminine… But what is the feminine in its essence? Consider the qualities of gentleness, intuition, receptivity, and harmony with lunar cycles (moon governs the sign of Cancer).
Venus, retrograde in Capricorn, also evokes the violence of the Earth; the violence of our world; which only allows and accepts little vulnerability, nakedness of the soul, the body devoid of material possessions, of professional titles…
Will we be able to find the seed of Cancer; the treasure of our innermost being? Are we willing to water it and be patient gardeners; gardeners with sensitivity, gentleness and kindness?
Will we be able to connect to this sensitivity and build together for the common good; our human roots; which can raise us to heaven? Are we willing to strive toward a common quest to be together; to recognize the maternal qualities of sweetness, kindness, benevolence and sensitivity?
Honoring our sensitivity during this Full Moon, both men and women… we honor our quality of being , and the relationship we have with heaven and this life.
Honoring it and share it … with a smile, an act of kindness, tenderness…
