portal for creative expression
This Full Moon on the Leo / Aquarius axis creates opportunities to understand the symbols and cycles that govern our civilization. Sun opposition Moon opens up the Aquarian Portal, showing us a glimpse of what is possible if the ego and soul energies resolve the polarity: the individual and the collective, the personal and the universal.

The Zen Archer is focused upon long term goals, that is, goals of the cosmic soul, rather than short term, trivial pursuits. Sagittarius is a seeker, always on a quest for knowledge that transcends or that lies beyond the transient and superficial world of human affairs. This is an archetype for a self-taught witch who amalgamated spiritual wisdom over time through raw experiences.
During the Gemini season expect things to accelerate. Gemini is about change and accomplishing things in a new way: test your ideas as you go along; try things in the spirit of fun and spontaneity, and if you are not satisfied, consider trying them again.
Since this is the beginning of the eclipse season, we are to expect an eventful and intense weeks to come. It is important to consciously develop spiritual practice to protect one’s energy and sanity. Do some type of soothing ritual during an eclipse, especially if it affects a planet or point in your chart. Take time for prayer, meditation, and just centering and being silent. The intensity will be great.
Coming back to journaling as your spiritual practice, and re-focusing on your dream journal is advised, however, avoid over intellectualizing your feelings. If you are stuck in your head, earthing, grounding or forest bathing prove to be a great antidote.
The sign of Taurus represents the archetypes of the Earth Mother, the Sustainer of Life, Earth Goddess, Mother Nature. This eclipse season is the time to have a closer look at our relationship with the natural environment. How much or how little do we care about living in harmony with the plant and animal kingdoms? Do you consider it ethical to eat meat, wear leather shoes, bags and jackets, use plastic, drive a car, and have our investments in fossil fuels?
Libra Full Moon emphasizes our interconnectedness and teaches us how to relate to others. It also reminds us that we are – with Pluto square to the Sun and the Moon – responsible on a global scale and that our decisions affect people in all parts of the world.
