“Get yourself grounded and you can navigate even the stormiest roads in peace.” Steve Goodier

COSMIC WATCH:

Revelations are possible, now, with a Full Moon in “grounded” Taurus occurring, today (5:23 pm EST), at 14 degrees, 26 minutes of the sign. Full Moons, literally and symbolically, shed more light on our path and also signify matters coming to a head or culmination. The peak awareness that is culled from a Full Moon is also thought to set into motion a “period of release,” similar to when the autumn leaves reach their peak color and then, shortly thereafter, drop from the trees. We also want to let go of, now, and for the next two weeks, those elements which are no longer serving us or that have outlived their usefulness to us.

Taurus, a fixed earth sign, is all about the world of form or substance. It is in Taurus, where we learn to fully appreciate the charms and allure of the physical body and also where we delight in experiencing the richness of the five senses. A Full Moon in Taurus can, ideally, spawn greater awareness of what we may need to add, or what we may need to subtract from our lives, now, in order to make them more joyful and pleasurable. Jane Austen once wrote, “Every moment has its pleasures and its hope.” All we have to do is find a way to ferret out this potential in our daily lives. Too, it has been shown that having warm feelings can also alter our body chemistry, in a positive way, by helping to release oxytocin, a hormone that can reduce blood pressure and cortisol associated with stress.

With this Full Moon, we may also glean fresh insights into how to best stabilize or anchor our world, keeping in mind that, the symbol for Taurus is the Bull, an animal that always has its feet planted firmly on the ground. Experiencing ownership of resources is also vital to the Taurus psyche, as is the preservation of whatever is accumulated. Too, what we end up “attracting to us” is largely rooted in our values, which Taurus also represents. This Full Moon is an excellent time to get clearer about what it is that we value, or want more of in our life. When we also learn to align our actions around our values, life can become a whole lot easier, as well as much more fulfilling. With the Sun in opposing Scorpio, the sign of shared resources, we may also have more of a need, now, to figure out a way to balance or mesh our values with the values of others.

This Full Moon finds “sweet” Venus, the lunation’s ruler, still in a conjunction with the purposeful Sun. Overall, this is more of a softening influence that can make us more willing to be cooperative with others. Of course, with this conjunction taking place in “intense” Scorpio, it can also help connect us with our passions, or deepest cravings. “Assertive” Mars and “penetrating” Pluto are also trining the Full Moon from “ambitious” Capricorn, with Mars moving into an exact conjunction with Pluto, in just a few days. Mars-Pluto suggests that we we’re not going to budge much, from whatever it is that we’re pursuing, now, with Pluto, optimally, giving us more of a “laser-beam” focus on our goals. Let us not be content to wait and see what will happen, but give us the determination to make the right things happen.” Horace Mann.

Some things that we may want to release during this Full Moon: self-limiting beliefs about money and earning capacity; fears about not having enough; thoughts that we are what we have – that the key to our happiness lies outside of us; fear of change; feeling guilty about experiencing pleasure; feeling ashamed about our bodies.

Question for Today: What revelation would be a breakthrough for you?

In the News: The title of the seventh installment of the Star Wars franchise was revealed, today: “The Force Awakens.” (Reuters); A former Navy Seal also claims that he fired the shot that killed Osama Bin Laden. (CNN.com)

Astrology May 20, 2011: “Move Mountains” Mercury and Mars Trine Pluto

COSMIC WATCH:

“We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history.” Sonia Johnson

Big, big day today! The Moon is in personally ambitious Capricorn the Goat. Mercury (thoughts) and Mars (action) are exactly conjunct in determined, materialistic Taurus the Bull. Both are also trining intense Pluto (transformation agent) in resourceful Capricorn. We are able to think and act decisively (Mercury-Mars), leveraging a laserlike mental focus (Mercury-Pluto) and unwavering resolve (Mars in Taurus) to miraculously move mountains (Mars-Pluto) and end up smack at the very top (Capricorn).

We also have x-ray vision (Mercury-Pluto) and can masterfully detect what was previously hidden to us, making this a potent day for problem-solving, or for figuring out previous, elusive mysteries. (On more of a collective level, it’s a good time for Pluto-ruled spying and espionage.)

This is definitely a day when we will want to stay fully engaged and not take our eyes off our targeted goals. We also have the chance to rally influential persons (Pluto) to our cause to back us or assist us, i.e. a fabulous time for “power networking.”

On another level, with mighty Pluto’s “purging ray” activated, now is an ideal period to eliminate or get rid of deadweight, or whatever is not working for us. Mysterious Pluto likes to travel with as little baggage as possible, and often in incognito. We are, therefore, well-served to do the same. Be perhaps a little “mum” to the world about all of our action plans until the last minute. Discuss our power-brokering strategies in private, “closed-door chambers.”

In The News: I have taken a quick peek at Maria Shriver‘s and Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s horoscopes. The Scorpio Full Moon on Tuesday fascinatingly fell exactly on Maria’s 7th house of marriage at 26 degrees Scorpio, putting a bright spotlight on both her marriage and the marriage partner. With “revealing” Pluto ruling Scorpio, too, we are often privy to finding out “secret” or “hidden” information.

Arnold, meanwhile, had the Full Moon in Scorpio falling exactly in his fifth house of children, near his expansive Jupiter, setting the stage for the world to learn that he had more (Jupiter) offspring than what was originally known about him publicly. It was also on the exact day of the Full Moon in Scorpio on Tuesday that Arnold finally “came clean” about his past and his secret love child. Scorpio also rules sex and intimate affairs.

Too, for the last few days, we have been hearing about the “high-profile” alleged sexual assault case involving Dominique Strauss-Kahn, former head of the International Monetary Fund, details of which first emerged just prior to the “revelatory” Scorpio Full Moon.

“There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.” Ella Wheeler Wilcox

We shape our reality with our thinking.  We also give away our power when we feel that outside forces are more powerful than we are.

With the Moon entrenched in detached, analytical Aquarius, it’s a good day to take the temperature of our thinking and to reflect upon the kinds of ideas that we are putting inside our heads, particularly the ideas about ourselves and our own capabilities.

Perhaps we have too many recycled, fear-based thoughts and not enough empowering thoughts of what we can do.

Maybe we are afraid to try new things because we are scared of ridicule or rejection.

Aquarius is about freeing ourselves from self-limiting beliefs and ideas. It is about going beyond the herd mentality and cultivating the power of our own original thinking.

Often the simple act of brainstorming or talking over ideas with friends can help us to see things in a new light.

“Should we all confess our sins to one another we would all laugh at one another for our lack of originality.” Kahlil Gibran.
