The Grand Fire Trine of Uranus, Jupiter and Mars climaxes today and combines with the Eclipsed Full Moon. All together, the Moon opposite the Sun, combinined with the three points of the Grand Trine form a most Beautiful Grand Trine “Kite” pattern as you can see in the picture above.
The dance of the planets spirals and swirls all around you, always forming intricate patterns of magisterial beauty…But some days, like today, their spiritual melodies reveal a harmony of meaning that is truly wonderful, loving and wise.
I mentioned this Lunar Eclipse in my 2014 forecast, and here is what I wrote then:
Full Total Lunar Eclipse (October 8)
The third Eclipse of the year is a Total Lunar Eclipse in Aries. As in all Lunar Eclipses, the Earth’s shadow is passing over the Moon. This means that the message you need from Aries is harder to discern as it is obscured by the Earth’s shadow, and the requisite balance you would receive to the prevailing Solar Forces in Libra may take more effort to understand.
Here is information about the Eclipse and where it will be visible, which is throughout the Pacific Ocean and the lands that surround it.
The Gifts of the Spirit that are brought to you by the Grand Fire Trine was described in my posting of September 25, 2014, and you can and should read that here, “Jupiter Trine Uranus”. For today, let’s consider the meaning behind the Eclipse Full Moon, and fold in the inspiration that is offered up by Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Leo and Mars in Sagittarius too.
Each Full Moon provides a necessary reflective counterpoint to the dominant theme of the month, which is set by the Sun’s passage through any one sign. With the Sun in Libra, the Solar energies are bending you, they are pulling you towards a greater self-sacrifice so that you will be able to create, preserve and extend your partnerships. But given this, you actually will find that you need to be reminded, here and now, that you are, by definition, one-half of any relationship that you are in.
Therefore, for you to create and preserve a truly balanced field of social meaningfulness, you must seek for ways to positively assert yourself. You are and must be the “other” half of the “Scales of Libra” in order for there to be a relationship between one and another. If “everyone” is on the one side overmuch, if there is no counterpoint of sense and sensibility, if the boundaries between Self and Other are not made well, then you just end up with co-dependence and enmeshment.
But today’s Full Moon in Aries is being shadowed by the Earth, for as the Moon reaches it furthest point beyond the Earth’s orbit, where it should be fully Illumined by the Sun, the Earth is positioned between the Sun and Moon so that the Earth’s shadow passes over the face of the Moon.
The Illumination or Revelation of the Full Moon is obscured, hidden and so you must pierce beyond your own self-cast shadows (for it is you and your doubts and fears that will prevent you from seeing the Greater Reality of you and your World). You have to look beyond this dim lit reality, you need to see the Light that is always there for you, (and really, truly, is within you too), but that light is now hidden by the darkness of your present day illusion.
You can only be with one another when you are true to yourself; You can only be true to yourself by knowing that you are made by and for another too. You are you because of one another, you have shaped and formed one another, for ages and ages, and the Illusion you face is your separation from one another. Yet, you are individual sparks of the Divine too, and you must relate to one another in such a manner that celebrates and nurtures your differences from one another as much as you build your energetic-webs of shared experiences and sensibilities too.
The Truth of Libra/Aries is that is that you are you and also a we too…
You must stand in the Middle…
In the light of the beautiful Full Moon,
Which is equally the Light of your Sun too.
There are no Shadows,
Only degrees of Light and Love,
Dancing a Spiral Dance.
There is I and Thou,
There is One and Many,
Embraced by Love,
One with the One.
