This is another of the eclipses that I
wrote of in my General 2013 Forecast:
Full
Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius (May 24–25)The
second of three Lunar Eclipses moves the topic from Taurus/Scorpio to
Gemini/Sagittarius. Here is a map of where the Eclipse will be visible. It
will be seen in North and South America and Southwest Europe and Western
Africa.This
Lunar Eclipse concerns the relationship between your lower mind and your higher
mind, between your inductive and deductive ways of comprehending your world.
The Sun in Gemini has been extolling the virtues of your Inductive Mind, and
the Full Moon would normally be able to offer a balancing point of view of
Deductive Reasoning.But the Earth’s shadow is getting in the way, so something
in your present assumptions, something in regards to your Truths, Beliefs or
Principles is obscuring the message. It is time to challenge yourself and
question your assumptions so that you might become less blinded by your
self-cast shadows.
You
may look, but you will not notice anything different about this Full Moon that
is Eclipsed today…and that is because the Moon will barely enter the Penumbra
of the Earth’s shadow, and to the unaided eye there will be no discernible
shadowing whatsoever. The Veil is there, but you cannot see it, and so the
message of the Full Moon will appear to be clear and true, but things are not
what they seem, (of course, they seldom are). Moreover the Moon is very close
to you now, at what is called its “Perigee” or closest point to
Earth, so her influence upon various matters, (physical, emotional and
intuitive) are that much stronger.
Normally,
the Sagittarian Full Moon would provide a welcome and necessary counterpoint to
the Sun’s passage through Gemini. Every sign needs and benefits from the
Illumination provided by contemplating and integrating the sensibilities,
sensitivities and strengths of its opposite sign. So much so that if you really
wish to fulfill your Aries Individuality for example, you must understand and
accept the Truth of Libra too…Or for the Capricorns, you can only find your
way to the Mountaintop if you equally understand and secure your Life in those
Foundational Waters that Cancer provides. Each sign needs this balancing and
integration, and at each Full Moon we should see and celebrate this wonderful
interplay of Spiritual Energies and Forms…
But
here at the Eclipse of the Sagittarian Moon the Earth’s shadow is somewhat
obscuring this message of the integral relationship of Gemini with Sagittarius.
For it is from Sagittarius that Gemini obtains the very Framework of
Understanding that permits the perception, gathering, collating, categorizing
and relating of the data points and “facts” of the world you walk
through. Gemini seeks to gather and assimilate experience, but to do so requires
some framework of understanding, some form of aligning the various senses to
bring in these inputs, to find the order and meaning veiled in the Chaos.
So it is from these Principles, Assumptions and Points
of View of Sagittarius that you create the window on the world for your Gemini
Inquisitiveness and Curiosity to play in…And if you alter this Paradigm, if you
Change your Point of View, then these very “Facts” will change for
you too!
But
here the hope for Illumination of your Assumptions, and the understanding that
it could provide regarding the Relativity of your Facts, this Revelation may be
hidden from you by this Shadowing of the Moon. What can you do? Well, as
always, remember the Ancient Teachings and forever seek to stay upon the Middle
Path, the Noble Way of being neither wholly Inductive or Deductive in your
Understanding of your Reality.
The Way to Wisdom is also the Way of Humility
which requires that you dance between Induction and Deduction, refining and
adjusting your assumptions and data points, and then adjusting
again…Constantly…For what is True and Real at a particular Level of
Consciousness or Understanding will become superseded and revealed as being
incomplete at your next Greater Understanding…
The
only Path is the Way of Humility and Openness, of Knowing that the more you Know
the more you realize how little you truly Understand, as ever Wider and Deeper
Vistas are opened before you at each stage of this, your Journey of Revelation Unbounded…
The
only Truth for you the Pilgrim of Light, Love and Will is to follow the Great
Injunction…
At
each Plateau of Perception…
As you pause at this new Higher Plane of Understanding…
You
need do but one thing…
Remember that you are here to grow…
And so you must…
Walk
on!
