Full Moon in Leo

Welcome to the Full Moon in Leo which waxed at 6:09 PM EST.  The Moon representing our feminine side, the passionate motherly nature in us, our emotions as a product of our identification and the receptor of the sun’s energies in warm strong, uninhibited, Leo, full of vitality and arrogance, a natural born leader in the house where we meet the result of our outer lives… our ultimate karma, for some, our undoing.  Leo needs to get attention, to be the first, the greatest, the most beautiful and wants to dominate and be the center of attention.   The 12th house is where one increases ones intuition.

There are quite a few aspects to this Full Moon, so let’s take our time..first, of course, there’s the opposition with the Sun.  The opposition occurs when two planets are 180 degrees apart but in complimentary signs but they are said to be in opposition/contradiction with each other trying to gain the upper hand.  The Sun, our sense of self, the strong masculine parts of our personality, our physical and spiritual source remains in free spirited and often rebellious Aquarius.  So why would Aquarius and Leo not get along?  Because Aquarius will NOT be dominated and her free spirited nature will always make her the center of attention.  So we may feel sort of torn between two lovers here with the Sun’s energies pointing us toward our more creative expressive natures and the Moon bordering on a bad temper tantrum if some of  our emotions aren’t being acknowledged.

The conjunction occurs when two planets are on the same degree, and can be either a positive or negative influence depending on the other planets involved.  Jupiter represents all forms of growth and she sits with the Leo Moon in the 12th house.  But growth in the 12th house could mean a double dose of bad karma if we’ve been particularly naughty, or, it could be a time to ride the wave of rewards for good deeds, which the Leo Moon would love because he would be the center of attention.

The trine occurs when two planets are posited in signs belonging to the same element and they are compatible.  Uranus is trine with the moon and sits in Aries in the 9th house.   Leo is fixed fire and Aries is cardinal fire.  Fire signs are exciting and intense.  Uranus represents our sense of independence from societal norms and as such could really be said to be more in line with the Aquarius Sun’s energies dancing to the beat of her different drummer and all, but Uranus forces us to let our individuality shine  and shining is definitely a Leo favorite.  Aries is spontaneous and motivated and in the 9th house which focuses on our lives philosophy and our higher minds, Uranus is definitely on board with the Moon leading the way.

Today in the hebrew calendar is the 15th of Sh’vat because the Moon waxed full after sundown.  We talked last moon festival about the month of Sh’vat being a time to receive greater illumination.  According to the Zohar, each month has a permutation of the tetragrammaton.  Sh’vat’s is Hei Yod Vav Hey and is coded in the verse “and if he converts it at all, then both IT and that for which it is converted to shall be holy.”  which the sages say indicated the powers of Sh’vat to make transformations and positive changes in our lives.  For example… if you have right intention, then the intention and what you do with that intention shall both be rewarded, but that works the opposite also…what you do with wrong intention, brings not only reaping for the wrong intention, but that which you did with the wrong intention also, as in the parable of Cain and Abel where Cain brought sacrifices to God but he was only going through the motions, and wasn’t doing it with the right reasons.

It is interesting to me here that the winter, when we are in the so called dark days, is when the sages say, we accumulate the most spiritual abundance from the upper worlds… some of the reasons for this could include, the winter is typically when we are least active, and have more time to work on our inner selves… the light could be purposely stronger to lend greater illumination in the darker days… or possibly the alignment of planets allows for a greater collection of such illuminating energies.  I do notice that it is during the winter months that we are typically more involved with the higher spheres on the tree. 

“On each season the three astrological signs create an alignment of three energetic forces – called in Kabbalah right, left and central columns (plus, minus and a neutral, respectively). Aquarius is the second sign of the winter (left column, minus), which means that it contains very strong forces of attraction, drawing and a desire to receive.  So with this Leo Moon, we have to be careful our intentions are clearer, and the roles we take on, we do for the right reasons.

The other letter rules the astrological sign of the month. Shevat’s planet is Saturn and is ruled by the letter ב (Beit). Its astrological sign is Aquarius, which is ruled by the letter צ (Tsadik).” http://www.inner.org/times/shevat/shevat.htm

So at the full moon we focus on the planet that rules the month which is the letter Beit.

            The letter beit is the first letter of the Torah which begins with B’reshit..”IN” the beginning.  The beit, called the house,  signifies what is inside, turns your focus to what is inside… ba’beit, in the house..it is also the first letter of the word bracha… blessing. 

            Beit  represents the 12 th path on the tree of life.. second only to the 11th which is the letter aleph.  It is the magi in the thoth tarot where the aleph represents the Fool.

The magician:

“The Magician represents consciousness, action and creation. He’s the symbol for the idea of manifestation – the possibility of making an idea come true. He gives meaning and direction to life, and he reminds us that the emotional and creative powers of our souls must have a physical basis to be of real use. Powers unused are powers non-existant, we have to set them free in order to use them, and to gain and renew. The Magician is related to the Mercurius of alchemy.

The Magician shows that we’re aware of the power in life, he can be a symbol for all the creative skills and ideas inside. Most people don’t really act, they just react, being driven from one situation to the next. The Magician tells that a power is ready to use as soon as it is recognized, to see and go the own way…”

as in the phrase.. there are three types of people in the world…those who don’t know what happened, those who wonder what happened and people who MAKE things happen.
