Just as they envisioned a new world for their own society, we can envision what our own society needs to prosper, We can and will stop the corporate influence over American law and justice. We can and will expect and achieve the equality of all individuals, black and white, gay, trans and straight, rich and poor, and most especially, equality between women and men.
I also mean an equal valuing of both masculine knowledge (intellect, logic, comprehension, speech, writing) and feminine wisdom (imagination, dreams, visions, instincts, emotional intelligence). Women and our wisdom have been rejected and reviled for over 4000 years. It's time for women to have the freedom to find our own voices, gifts and powers. Gifts centered in our bodies, which must be free of male domination. And for this wisdom to be valued, respected and used for the betterment of the world as a complement to our society's left brained talents.
Cancer/Capricorn Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
This lunar eclipse will occur in the United States on July 4th at 6:44pm in Hawaii, 9:44 PDT and on July 5th at 12:44am EDT and 7:44am GMT.
The Revolutionary theme plays out in the Sabian Symbols for this Full Moon.
The Sabian symbol for the Sun at 14* Cancer is: An old man, alone, faces the darkness of the northeast. This image is interesting because there is a fixed star associated with this degree - Canopus, the navigator's star and the steersman of the constellation Argos, and in ancient Egypt of the boat who takes Osiris to the Underworld. In Egypt, Canopus - the star of Osiris - is the 2nd brightest star in the southern sky after Sirius - the star of Isis. It was believed to be the gateway to the afterlife.
The direction of the North symbolizes fulfillment, wisdom, integration of life's lessons and endings. East symbolizes dawn, the beginning of a new day. The light that gives a good life. When we combine these two directions, we get an inspired and motivated energy to release the past and to greet the new day. As well as a picture of the old society (masculine) looking into the dark unknown for the new vision.
We find ourselves in this space, don't we? The future has been thrown into chaos and we face the unknown. The old man might symbolize the old patriarchal attitudes that are dying out in our world, facing the darkness of death before a new birth. Or it can be a wise old Osiris, who knows his death is coming and welcomes it, so the new can arise.
The Sabian symbol for the Moon at 14* Capricorn is: In a dense jungle, a perfectly preserved Mayan bas relief. We are reminded that many civilizations came before us and many will come after us - that is if we leave the Earth viable for them. That it is a jungle covering over old civilizations shows us that Mother Earth can recover if given enough time.
