So let's take a look at the
energies involved in what astrologers are calling the Cardinal Grand Cross of
the Summer of 2010. Cardinal signs
Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn begin new seasons of the year, and so they
mark a shift from one stage of development to another. Cardinal signs like to take action, sometimes
impetuously.
The tension of the squares and the need for awareness of the oppositions throw up obstacles to that action. So we need to develop patience, stay centered, and get organized if we want to overcome the obstacles. Endurance is the name of the game. Things aren't going to change overnight, but if we keep at it, something new and potentially beautiful will take shape in the chaos.
The Capricorn Moon is being eclipsed. Capricorn is a hard placement for the Moon, because only collectively appropriate feelings are allowed. By that I mean, the feelings that the patriarchy (Capricorn is the sign of the Father) approves of. And as we all know, the patriarchy is distrustful of feelings, and has spent thousands of years trying to get us to ignore and deny the validity of feelings.
This gives rise to negative feelings of self-doubt, shame, unworthiness and neediness, which then have to be caged in and repressed under the bright faà §ade of our egos. These feelings are symbolized by the wicked witch or step-mother of so many of our fairy tales. Patriarchy creates witches that try to kill us. The feminine aspect of the patriarchy is subservient to its needs, and gives rise to feelings of pain, anger and loss. Is it any wonder that Western society is into power, domination, greed, hypocrisy and violence?
Since the Moon symbolizes our emotional body, in Capricorn we see an emotional body overlaid with rules and regulations for the (patriarchal) communal good. An emotional body in pain because the soul of life has been banished from it. These rules and regulations do not serve our well-being any more, so they need to go.
