 20:41 Sagittarius Moon and Gemini Sun

2:03 PM EDT

11:03 AM PST

Sunday’s Full Moon between the Gemini Sun and Sagittarius Moon arrives bearing amazing, foreign, shocking, out of bounds, transformative, secret, crazy, brilliant, sparkling, and freeing communications, news, information or dreams as Out of Bounds Mercury rises high in the sky, following the Sun. Mercury shouts out astonishing news like town criers of old. An Out of Bounds Mercury rules the Sun in Gemini which means he speaks the truth, how ever far fetched it may sound at first, as he moves through the town square and your life delivering news. No, you might NOT believe it at first but pay attention. Listen anyway. You are going to need it down the road.

Next, our full Moon in Sagittarius is out of bounds. She is moving towards a conjunction with Pluto at the Galactic Center of the Universe. The Galactic Center of the Universe is our Milky Way Galaxy’s “sun“. The Galactic Center is the point or center of our Universe. It is what our little cute solar system of Sun, planets, asteroids and Mom Earth revolves around at 1,000 kilometers per second once every 220 million years. Similar to knowing how the Sun’s placement by sign and house in our natal chart determines the path of our lives, our Solar System looks to the Galactic Center for guidance in its evolution. Pluto the planet of transformation and consciousness is dancing over the Galactic Center for the rest of the year as Saturn will come to trine it in the late fall saying you, little human being on earth, are figuring out what you want to do for the rest of your life. Scary eh? Hang in there.

So, what exactly, do two out of bounds planets involved in a lunation near the Galactic Center mean for you? Well, have you been having amazing dreams lately ~ most of which you don‘t quite remember upon waking? Feeling particularly strung out energetically, stressed, overwhelmed, teary and perhaps a tad over the top? Working on or toward some thing or some one that seems just out of your grasp, beyond your fingertips, frustrating to no end? Possess a vague and undefined sense of “something big is coming“ and not at all sure what it is? Know that underneath, deep below the surface, some thing is shifting and moving towards a new formation? Have a sense of foreboding or anxiety or angst? Does it help to know the entire planet is feeling the same energy? The rest of the world is going a bit crazy ~ just look around at your friends, your enemies, your family, your government and the stock market. There is oodles of energy flying around, looking for a place to land, a soft spot of earth to curl up on and rest. Or at least land. But not yet.

In addition to our over the top moon, our lunation features a tight t-square with three difficult planets sending bunches of crabby, cranky energy to the same degree that Mars in Taurus stationed on last December 10, 2005. Or a wide grand cross if you want to count Venus into the mess. Mars and Saturn are close to forming a conjunction in Leo. Saturn hates being in Leo as shining, glowing and sparkling like a summer’s day is not his cup of tea. He would rather be anonymous and detached in an Aquarian crowd where he watches other people sparkle and shine. Mars, our get up and go get it planet, is impotent in his ability to get what he wants out of anything as he approaches a conjunction to crabby, cranky withholding Saturn. Well, maybe Mars can get what he wants but he is going to have to sweat bullets and try to talk Saturn into moving out his butt out of the way. They both square Jupiter in Scorpio, who is moving retrograde. Now, Jupiter normally brings goodies to our lives BUT he is moving backwards! So Jupiter is not delivering the way he usually does. Our luck has taken a holiday. And, in the sense of mundane astrology, Jupiter is in a balsamic sign, approaching his ruling place, so his light, benevolence and goodies are under wraps (or at least hidden from YOUR view) as he completes a hidden 12^th house transit until the end of November 2006. Now, Jupiter in the 12^th house does not mean he is not delivering luck to you; it just might not LOOK like LUCK to your despairing eyes. Jupiter actually still is an angel but he has to be quiet and move behind the scenes as you work it out with the other fellows in the zodiac. The Irish quote of “Throw away your cross so you get a bigger one” comes to mind. On the surface, the events in your life do not look particularly great right now. However, in hindsight, and in a couple of month’s time, you will have a completely different perspective on them. Honest.

Chiron in Aquarius is involved in the t-square and opposing Saturn and Mars. Chiron points to a soft, tender spot in our soul. Chiron is arguing with Saturn, Mars and Jupiter and not on speaking terms with Uranus right now. Normally, he and Mercury get along but Mercury is preoccupied with being the town crier, not paying attention and focusing on Uranus in Pisces. Plus Venus is moving away from him after their recent fight about self-value so he is not feeling her love either. Chiron asks us to move beyond our own little restrictive world of our fears, limitations and Saturn to appreciate the collective needs and desires of humanity, evolution and the group. Except right now, Chiron is arguing with everyone and he’s about to turn tail and head back into his cave out of frustration.

So what to do on a full moon like this with lots of stressful, cranky, crabby, difficult energy all around you and no relief in immediate sight? Focus on the cosmic big picture and take a deep breath. Or a few deep breaths. Get a cup of tea and settle down in a soft chair.

Let’s think big picture. We human beings tend to not change unless we have to. We like our lives regulated. We develop our routines and rituals. We have our patterns and preferences. Except for times like now, our world kind of scoots along on its own steam. We don‘t think much about it and do our lives almost unconsciously. Right now, your rituals and routines are changing, in flux or not what they used to be. Around you, other people’s lives are changing. They are moving on to new chapters in their lives. Maybe you are moving on. Or perhaps you are being left behind. You are unclear about what is next. Or if there will even BE a next.

That is how it is supposed to be. You are exactly where you are which is exactly the right spot to be in. You are being evicted from your cosmic rut. You are being asked to reflect on the nature and quality of your life. To look at your stuff in a different way. To see your life as a big picture ~ the forest instead of the trees. However, there is still an obsession with a stupid tree that you have been hanging on to since last fall.

I would like you to focus all of your attention on that stupid tree you have been laboring, obsessing and angsting over since last fall. It is not actually a stupid tree, it has a purpose! If I could show you a picture of your entire life from 0 to 93 or however old you decide to become, you would see that right now, this very minute, the reason for the tree. You would go “AH so THAT is what that stupid tree was for. “ The stupid tree is there to help you figure out what you want in your life. You just THINK you are caught on that stupid tree which is standing in the middle of the river of your life.

However, if you take an aerial view, there is a string, a thread, a fear, a rope, some twine, your Saturn or perhaps a big green bungee cord hooked onto that tree or perhaps to a rock slightly upstream and wound around your stupid tree. That cord, not the stupid tree, is what is preventing you from moving down stream to the new place in your life. It is not the tree or the rock that is the problem. You are holding on to that stupid tree and what it represents out of fear. It is why you feel so stuck. Or that everyone else is moving. Or you have no i
dea where you are going beca
use your paddle does not seem to be working properly. You are hooked on last fall’s tree. Last fall’s tree is tied to a fear formed, that familiar and comfortable rut created in your life, by a rock back in Fall of 1982/Spring of 1983. It isn’t actually a stupid tree. It has a VERY IMPORTANT PURPOSE in your life, that tree does.

If I could show you a moving picture of your life’s path, you would see the purpose of the VIP, not stupid, tree and the VIP, not stupid, rock from the perspective of “down the river“ in your life. No, I cannot tell you the purpose right now. However, you created or agreed to the deal or circumstances so you could grow up and become the person you are meant to be. It is written right there in your cosmic map. If you think about it, the answer will come to you. That stupid tree is a VIP tree! Of course! Look at all you have learned and figured out since last fall!!

Now, you have some choices between now and June 22. You can swim back up stream to unhook yourself. You can pull out your trusty pocketknife, cut the cord, and be free. You can holler to a person up river and ask them to unhook you as they swim by. You can wind yourself slowly back up to the place where you are hooked on to climb up into the tree again, rest awhile and dry off. You can float on your back until you decide what you want to do, tethered to the tree and rock, bobbing in the water. Each are valid options.

Truth be told, you do not have to do ANYTHING at all until the end of October when the last square of Jupiter and Saturn takes place. You can go on sabbatical until October 25. The stupid tree is not going any place until then. This June is only square two of the big boys and Jupiter IS retrograde after all. After Jupiter changes signs in November and the fixed cross becomes a faint memory, you will be in your new life.

Until October, you are going to have to take it on faith that you are right where you are supposed to be, bobbing around, being frustrated, worried or anxious. Obsessing about the stupid, VIP tree. Work on releasing your fear from 1982/83, understand the issue with the stupid, VIP tree, figure out what the rut in your life is for and why it exists and what you want to do with or about it. You will have a decision point between now and June 22, and then you will be off doing something. However, the whole story is not getting resolved until October. October is when the tree will speak its truth. So Chill out.

In the meantime, until you figure out what it is exactly that you want to do about your life, why don’t you work on that dream you had back in May of 2000? Just a bit of work towards it each and every day while you try and figure out what you want to do about the stupid, VIP tree, rock and bungee cord set up that seems to be preventing you from having a life. Might as well have fun. You have time. Take 10 to 15 minutes in the morning and do a bit of work towards making your May 2000 dream come true. I bet if you focus on creating your dream, the stupid VIP tree will let you and your bungee cord go. Or, you will be SO ecstatic by October that you will not even remember there was a stupid, VIP tree!

I can hear you moaning about end of October from here! Go reread the first couple of paragraphs again ~ it takes our Sun 220 million years to go once around the Galactic Center! It is going to take you a five more months to figure it out. No whining. Do you think the Sun whines? Not to worry. You have plenty of time. Go create your dream while you wait!

Lynda Hill’s Sabian Images for 21 Sagittarius Moon are A CHILD AND A DOG WEARING BORROWED EYEGLASSES

Commentary: ‘A Child and a Dog Wearing Borrowed Eyeglasses” shows play, impersonation and a free-flowing perception of fun and enjoyment with others. The ‘Eyeglasses’ symbolize intelligence or a thoughtful nature and by wearing them one can give the impression of having these attributes. ‘A Child and a Dog’ are wearing the ‘Eyeglasses’ which shows that the ‘Child’, which may be you or perhaps someone else in the situation, does not truly understand what the ‘Eyeglasses’ are all about. By his giving the ‘Eyeglasses’ to the ‘Dog’, the ‘Child’ shows that he doesn’t know, or worry about, what intelligence or wisdom truly are. He wants to be like grown-ups, seemingly smart and in control of their lives.

Oracle: Perhaps someone is pretending to be more in control or to be smarter than they are, or is this really just a situation of innocent play? Whatever the situation, this can work to make a consciousness shift. By changing both your appearance and your perceptions, you can create some new understanding of your dreams, or understanding of how life can be, and it can help you to grow into it. People in this situation may have no idea where they are headed in life, or what they are doing with it now, but, with some play, at least some fun and light relief can be had in the process. Look to see whether someone is trying to fool you with appearances or by some inappropriate action or confusing behavior. Make sure that everyone is looking at the situation through the right “lenses” in order to be able to see what’s really going on. “Looking through” and into things can reveal layers of meaning that you wouldn’t otherwise observe. Eyestrain can occur, especially if one doesn’t want to see what’s actually going on, or desires a pretend scenario rather than facing reality.

Keywords: Emulation leading to actualization. The rewards inherent in make-believe. Dog obedience classes and training. Pantomimes. Dealing with life through play or fantasy. Difficulty in really understanding each other. The perception each has of the other. Spontaneous and carefree creativity. Cartooning and clowning. Having the “eyes” to see.

The Caution: Deliberately fooling others with false impressions. Taking on masks to hide real intentions. The “blind leading the blind”. Pretending to be something that one isn’t. Not seeing people or things for who, what or how they really are. Getting lost in abstractions and goofing around too much. Play acting to avoid the truth. Not having the eyes to see.

The Sabian Image for our 21 Gemini Sun is A TUMULTUOUS LABOR DEMONSTRATION

Commentary: ‘A Tumultuous Labor Demonstration’ is shown. It seems to imply that there are many people who are unhappy and who feel that they are not getting their fair share. ‘Labor Demonstrations’ can cause work to come to a standstill as people make their point. There is an injustice that needs righting and a spontaneous group reaction may be what is needed to wake up those in charge. Sometimes there’s a need to lift one’s voice or make a huge fuss otherwise nothing will be done; things are not likely change by themselves. Sometimes it is only by rallying many people together in a common cause that you can be heard, or be taken seriously. Indeed, grinding things to a h

alt may be the appropriate thing to do at this time.

Oracle: This Symbol is suggesting that there are probably many others who are involved or sympathetic to your situation. However, if there is a feeling of being alone and powerless, it is important to find out what level of support you actually have. Responses to this situation can cause emotions, and therefore actions, to get out of control. On the other hand, if you are the one trying to take advantage of someone else because you think they haven’t got the power to defy you, you may be unleashing a reaction that will involve many other people. Whatever the situation, never underestimate the power of the collective, whether the people be blue collar or corporate. Indeed, the level of one’s status plays a somewhat diminished role when it comes to the power and might of the majority. It is important to stand up for your rights and when the issues are important there is good reason to seek out support. You will be surprised how much support for the cause is out there. Stand up for what you want and see what happens.

Keywords: Pushing for change to the status quo. Feeling hard done by or taken advantage of. Seeking a better share of the profits. Protest about having too much to do. Standing up for yourself. Issues being trivialized. Overreaction. Melodramatic approaches to serious issues. Voting for change. Periodic blowing up. The rights of democracy. People in the street. Peace rallies.

The Caution: Using the group to accomplish a personal agenda. Asking for more than one’s share, or not being able to ask for one’s share. Protests that can lead to riots. Resisting change. Feeling that one’s vote or voice doesn’t count. Emotions that get completely out of hand.

Oh, and maybe get a journal for those dreams you have been having and not remembering! You are going to start to recall them soon ~ after June 22. They are messages from the Galactic Center about why you exist. Might as well listen up. Your dreams will be talking before the stupid VIP tree does!
