This Full Moon may prove itself a bit heavy. A Full Moon widens our feeling capacity and swells things to the surface. With this Full Moon conjunct Saturn, there may be pessimism in our feelings- melancholy and fear are possible. Use the energy for personal growth and setting up boundaries and practical goals.
The Full Moon will be in occultist and water ruled Shatabishak. Saturn is currently also in Shatabhisak, bringing in the heaviness I mentioned earlier and an even deeper emotional depth. There can be inner feeling of being stuck in the symbolic ‘empty circle’ of Shatabishak- there can be safety within this circle but also so much mystery. This Full Moon has much mystery about it. We will be drawn to water and to healing. There is a desire to be firm and steady even in the midst of this changeable dichotomy of Shatabishak. Regardless, the desire to be firm and strong is the fruit of the healing journey. We are asked to widen our view of life to achieve the physical and psychological healing born out of this Lunar Mansion. Enjoy.
Take advantage of this Full Moon to:
Notice addiction in your life- alcohol, drugs etc.
Invest in rejuvenation therapies or Healing.
Meditation and Yoga are fruitful at this time.
Contemplate the mysteries of the Universe with Astrology/ Astronomy.
