Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine: the Rise of Disaster Capitalism points out that these shocks to the financial system are being used to manipulate us, as big corporations and governments have done in the past. We have to make sure that we know ourselves well enough to not to be fooled or manipulated by any person or idea – it takes away our freedom of choice. This most basic right of freedom is what America really stands for. Freedom to think for ourselves, to make our own choices and even our own mistakes. It is the same gift we receive from Spirit – free will. Don't you think this is the time and place to bring it all together? Grow into full human beings and live out the founding principles of America.
The Cosmic story going on in the heavens mirrors what is going on here below – as above, so below. Saturn, the energy of conservation, of conservatism, of the status quo, of rigidity and the Old is coming into range of its opposition to Uranus, the energy of awakening, of revolution, of sudden change and the New. They will be exactly opposite each other on Election morning. The Old vs. the New. Does it sound familiar?
The opposition of two planets is always an energetic gateway for awareness of the issues they both symbolize. On one hand, we are being given the opportunity to wake up to what we really believe in – our values, our dreams for our life, our dreams for the world and for our loved ones. This is not about asking for more for ourselves. This is about asking for the courage to grow up and take responsibility for our life and the world's.
On the other hand, we get to look at how we let our unconscious habits, our control issues, our negative self-image, our need for an illusionary perfection, stop us from being of service to others and to our ideals. We let the pace and the heavy financial and ecological burdens of our modern culture overwhelm our need to live in a healthy, balanced, secure way. But these next few years will demand that we take ourselves and our lives seriously and pay attention to the world we live in. We are all in this together.
This Full Moon is especially potent because it is connected to three grand trines (flowing ease and creativity): one each in air, fire and earth. There is a single trine in water. This basically means that there is a planet or a major asteroid in every sign of the zodiac, except Cancer.
The 3 grand trines supporting this full Moon are:
AIR: Pallas in Gemini, Sun/Mercury in Libra, Chiron/North Node/Neptune in Aquarius.
We must use our information strategically and diplomatically to make sure that the solutions to our problems are wise and fair to everyone.
