Wisdom Body Notes for August 15-25 by Samantha Cameron
The heat of multiple dynamic cosmic energies these past two weeks, leads toward Monday’s Full Moon culmination of a Queenly Leo Sun facing a freedom loving Aquarian Moon. I’m not sure I want to know just how much higher August’s wild ride will take us, but this dramatic combo, with its ‘auxiliary transits of intensity’ is sure to offer more heat. The past two weeks have been a dynamic time and this Full Moon, as all full moons do, exacerbates the emotional body. The big light in the sky illuminates the night, and what lies in shadow within. This Aquarian infusion is wired with the exotica of freedom loving chaos to confront the Sun’s Leonine desire for honor and acclaim. Between now and Monday, you might like to spend time releasing old baggage and calling up your fearless-self to ask just how you’d like to discover new ways to use this ‘high heat.’ How unique and majestic can you become? What stands in your way?
As this is a unique lunation, I’m providing several interesting astronomical facts layering its complexity. First~This lunation is known by several names: A blue moon, the sturgeon moon, AND it’s a supermoon, meaning it is closer to earth, therefore more emotionally affective. Note higher tides, possible earthquakes (especially with Uranus involved) and disruption to the electric magnetic field. ‘Sturgeon’ is one of several names by native Americans for August’s full moon. Now, sing ‘Blue Moon of Kentucky’ as you read this. “There are two types of blue moons: seasonal and monthly. August 2024’s full moon will be of the seasonal variety. Normally there are three full moons during an astronomical season — the period of time between the solstice and the equinox, or vice versa — writes NASA. But when there are four full moons in a single season (on this occasion, summer), the third of the four is considered a blue moon. Monthly blue moons happen roughly every 2-3 years. The term refers to the second full moon in a single calendar month.” Blue Moon’s are rare and we will not have another until May 2027. Super Blue Moon’s are rarer still. “A blue moon happens once every two or three years on average, writes NASA, but a blue moon that’s also a supermoon is even more uncommon. The time between super blue moons can be as much as 20 years ― but in general, 10 years is the average. The next super blue moon will be January and March 2037, according to NASA.” Information found on The Indy Star.
Added to the plethora of names, we have a plethora of energetic alignments, including not one but two T-squares which involve eight planets in some form of face off and fisti-cuff square. This is an Astrological big Eeeeek, especially as Sun and Moon are in an exact square to Uranus, the untrammeled ruler of the Aquarian Moon. I use ‘untrammeled’ here as it not only means ‘without restraint or hindrance, but unconventional and unconfined. Thus the Moon is not fond of being in Aquarius as her primary need is to feel safe, at home, and ‘tame’ in known territory. Uranus loves drop-kicking us out of known, safe places to take us into far reaches of the unknown, making it far too spicy for any Moon.
Adding to our discomfort will be oh so backwardly retrograde, but talented, Mercury conjunct the Sun, opposing the Moon, contributing to confusion and wild ideas. With Mercury ruling lower mind and Uranus higher mind, perhaps we are to re-think old patterns and ideas, to see outside the box, asking ” What is my vision quest? What and how much have I been re-doing that is frustrating, but perhaps made me more aware? Complicating emotional lunar energies is the Moon planted within Pluto’s deeply transformative energies Sunday and Monday- another reason to take quiet time and get off the emotional roller coaster, or roll ever deeper into it. Sit quietly on the verdant green allowing the infusion of regenerative emotional possibility. Adding to these primal energies is Mars, the warrior standing strong with Jupiter, the ‘more is more’ guy, which jump-starts all manner of fast conversations, weird ideas, sudden events, and surprising ahaaa’s. We enter the full moon aura already rattled and wild so it’s doubly important to take time slowly inhaling and exhaling, allowing the raw and restless to melt into honey.
No question we are in tumultuous times. The second T square is made of Venus opposing Saturn, (“What you don’t love me?” I have no value?”) in square to the Mars/Jupiter conjunction. Think “Ben Hur “on steroids. Just Saturn, the constrictor, squaring Jupiter, the expander is difficult enough. Mars VS Saturn is ‘driving with the brakes on’. Add Jupiter and you are driving 18 racing horses from an old-wheeled cart. Despite the frisson, there is opportunity to open new doors, test unknown waters, and wake to a deep inner liberation. We have a huge call to action! Before you leap, re-consider. Be clear about reacting VS responding. Hold your dreams high. Be patient and do it again. Feel your unique-self coming to the table to dish out exotic tastes. Discover water-wings that take you into the flow, activating joy.
- The Astronomical night sky:
- August. The Perseid meteor shower peaks mid-August but continues into September. This ‘shower’ is considered one of the best of the year.
- Aug. 20. Look up to see the Moon chase Saturn across the sky. The pair rise in the east shortly after dark, and trek toward the west together until dawn.
- Aug. 27 Wake early to see the crescent moon join Mars and Jupiter to form a trio. Look to the east an hour or so before sunrise.
