Shine Escapes from the Inside Out, Leo Full Moon. Astrology for January 26, 2013
The Sun and Mercury both shifted from serious Capricorn to inspirational Aquarius last weekend. In this particular uplifting energy, we should find ourselves beginning to separate from the gravitational pull of heavy responsibilities, materialism, and limiting attachments. As we give wary, we allow ourselves to reach toward something much higher, to enhance the meaning of true happiness and life. In a random astrology tweet on twitter and facebook, I share a reminder that Sun and Mercury in Aquarius encourages us to detach, to fly high. As we change our patterns, we should be able to excite ourselves with fresh ideas, but also excite others as we flirt with new approaches. With Sun (identity), 'the winged messenger' Mercury (thoughts, communications), and Mars (energy) in mental pioneer Aquarius - it is encouraged to BE true to your words AND actions. Experiment, but have fun.For tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today. African ProverbReaching beyond ourselves, to brainstorm for new solutions, vibrates with positive energy - so make time to think 'outside of the box'. Create distance from routine during the next three weeks, to evaluate an alternate route. Find inner happiness by extending out, rather than relying on what you already know and have. As we create more space, the more fresh air that we take in. As we attempt to create more emptiness and calm, the easier it becomes to breath and relax in our true nature. And there is nothing uncomfortable about spending quality time with ourselves, while enjoying our own uniqueness.. especially as we flow through Mercury's shadow, weeks before he retrogrades and discombobulates the many areas of communications.We should also be aware of the Aquarian energy that can increase experimentation and intervention for independence. It contains the powerful element of air, and with too much thought and not enough heart - we will most likely experience a distinct chill in the air. This cold shoulder could be received from someone we're close with, or something that we radiate onto others. It's just another example to show that grasping on, could be a lot more challenging that we're aware of. So when you discover this, take nothing personally, and silly go with the flow. It's a moment in time, and it defines nothing. Go find something to occupy yourself with.Silence is the language of god, all else is poor translation. RumiWithout this unusual distraction to our lives, we would simply fall into a routine, and there is nothing routine about these ever-changing skies. Whatever the situation, go with the flow. Whatever the challenging obstacle, go with the flow. But don't let that stop you, once you face your fear of change. Allow this enjoyable current take you places that you had only dreamed of. Aquarius is the sign of the star, the alternative, astrology, yoga, new age, and the humanitarian. The Aquarian Sun encourages us to steer from what is considered common and sociably acceptable - so that we may be the change that we can only hope to find in others.Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade of pretense. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true. Adyashanti The Leo Full Moon rises this Saturday night, to do what Leo AND the Full Moon do best - which is to stand out and SHINE. It's a double whammy weekend. What has been quiet or withheld, can not stay hidden any longer beneath this great mother of light. What we have silently contained, reacts LARGELY, to the truth that we hold within. This can be totally awesome, or not so awesome - depending on our approach and response. This energetic illumination will explode from tremendous waves of true feelings. Knowing this, you may want to ask yourself 'what HAVE I been feeling'? And 'am I ready to pour my heart out'? Then ask yourself, 'HOW can I express my needs, so that I am actually being heard, to get the results that I need'. Our self-confidence may be unshakable with the 'cool, calm, and collected' Aquarian Sun, but that challenging opposition to the righteous Leo Moon, and uh, well… having patience and self-control may not be our main goal. This may be a weekend that we're just ready to raise hell and cause a little chaos. Either way, it all comes to full circle as our thoughts and emotions on the Capricorn New Moon finally ripen to its fullest potential, and complete a powerful cycle.Action speaks louder than words, but not nearly as often. Mark TwainThe majestic Leo Full Moon delivers a birth to beauty, creativity, and honor. She is hard-working, dedicated, giving one hundred percent of herself. She believes in magic and potential, and will defend it wholeheartedly - because she has already experienced it, in many, many life times. The enchantment of the Leo Moon comes from royalty and good blood, in which she contributes generously with others. As she shares her love and respect, she requires the same in return. This passionate energy carries positive gains in areas of work, business, leadership, beauty and glamor, children, entertainment, and especially in love and romance.The Leo Full Moon also carries this shadow side, which can be highly reactive when her heart has been rejected or cheated. If stormy emotions get in the way of this proud and fearless creature, there's no telling as to how LOUD she will react, or what she is capable of, in order to defend her honorable actions. As unique Uranus and expansive Jupiter make a connection, it's probably safe to say that we should expect some sort of big surprise and shift from this Full Moon. So since it ain't over until the fat lady sings, avoid dramatic scenes that resemble a Jerry Springer moment.I love to disturb people, because only by disturbing them you can make them think. They have stopped thinking for centuries. Nobody has been there to disturb them. People have been consoling them. I am not going to console anybody… Because the more you console them, the more retarded they remain. Shog them, hit them hard, give them challenge. That challenge will bring their full capacities to the climax. OshoIt's a Leo Full Moon, an exciting time to party, laugh, and love. Dress to fit the occasion - because you are on stage, and in the spotlight. Make the MOST of this magical day. And remember… our own approach and/or response will determine what tomorrow's direction will be.Full Moon Affirmation: I honor the voice in my heart. And since the Full Moon is all about 'coming out', I thought I'd share the latest testimonial posted on my website: 'This woman ‘doesn’t ‘know me from Adam’, but she can target every mood and emotion that I’m feeling over the phone!
