Full Moon in Aquarius: the Buck Moon
Full Moon, the Buck Moon, of July’s end, 2010.
In Native American tradition July is normally the month when the new antlers of buck deer push out of their foreheads in coatings of velvety fur. Last evening as I walked my little dog friends up along the ridge, the easternmost edge of the glorious Rocky Mountains, I spied a young buck resting on the side of an east-facing slope. Softest brown, he was nestled in among grasses and wild flowers in their mid-summer frenzy. He had 2 branches coming off his velvety antlers. I marveled at his peaceful loveliness and the joy of living so close to these gentle, beautiful creatures. And how do you like that? Just in time for the 2010 end of July Buck Full Moon.
The FULL Moon in Aquarius opposite the Sun in Leo happens this evening into tomorrow.
The Full Moon sheds light, awareness, opportunity to SEE more of what it triggers. The Leo-Aquarius axis applies to the individual ego vs. the group mentality. Serving the group consciousness you are mature and clearly developed inside yourself is probably not such a great idea. Being only for yourself and not reaching out to be a part of community is the other extreme-also not so good. Full Moon times encourage you to look for and strive towards balance between two polarities.
Are you caring for yourself properly so your ego is healthy enough to be in service to the larger community? If so, the larger community can then feed you in return. Look to where the Leo-Aquarius axis falls in your own chart. The houses these signs fall in and birth planets involved in the Leo-Aquarian axis will be highlighted tonight and tomorrow. Don’t know?

Full Moons are also good times to release. What needs to be let go?
Outdated clothes? How about outdated ideas and patterns of behavior?
You get to choose. It’s YOUR life.
The Full Moon happens once a month. The other astrological events that are happening this month and on into the autumn are once in a forever type of cosmological occurrences. Certainly in our lifetimes there is nothing at all like what is happening right now and in the months to come.
What is MOST needed is your commitment to being clearly and truly on your path and all that that might mean for you individually and the planet at large. Working on yourself to arrive at inner balance and focus and learning how to return to balance when you might be thrown off is top of the list priority these days. When you work on yourself, not only for balance and clear focus, but also to clear away dysfunctional, non-serving emotional/behavioral patterns, you clear the way for the best to come to you, the best and most wonderful dreams you envision for yourself and your loved ones.
The Aquarian Moon reminds you that all can be accomplished in community. Reach out for others as you go through your own molting, skin-shedding, cocoon bursting, summit scaling experiences. A healthy ego knows how to be in groups and still make time to be cozy and creative with oneself. Such is the balance of the Leo Sun-Aquarius Moon axis of this time, 25-26 July 2010. Whatever you learn today becomes a tool you have for always.

Cancer New Moon Solar Eclipse: 11 July 2010
The Solar eclipse of July 2010 is arrived. The Lunar eclipse was a few short, but whoa! intense, weeks ago. The time between these potent eclipses could have you feeling sandwiched precariously between a veritable rock and a hard place. This scrumptious, inviting photo of high mountain columbines is to remind you that in trying times of transition and flux nothing soothes a racing heart like a walk in the woods.
If you’re urban go to your local botanical gardens and those of us fortunate to be by wilderness, get into it! Release your worries and cares to the trees and flowers. Relish their loveliness and remember you too are of Nature and you too have a season. What season are you in of your life?
Whatever it may be, enjoy it, as it is yours.
Eclipses are times when the magical portal of all that could be becomes possible. Patterns of energy are disrupted so new patterns of thought (thought creates reality) are able to make it through to us here on Earth. And don’t we need some new thought patterns right about now?! Think of this eclipse as a COSMIC UPGRADE to our systems.
As this New Moon eclipse is in the sign of Cancer let’s take a look at Cancer energy. The Moon rules the sign of Cancer, the constellation of the essential female nurturing principle. In Cancer are all the archetypes of the Divine Mother energy. And what will the Divine Mother not yield to support and nurture?
As we each reclaim the Divine Feminine in ourselves, shifting away from the masculine imperative TO DO to the feminine imperative of BEING and RECEIVING, we create the template for the balance that is so desperately needed. The Divine Feminine does not say do nothing, the Divine Feminine reminds us that every action has a consequence so action is to be taken not impulsively but with consideration for the effects to the greater family to which we ALL belong.
Cancer is directly connected to FEELINGS. What FEELS right? What FEELS not right? Choices made IN BALANCE with the directions of the mind and the imperative of the heart just FEEL RIGHT.
Take some time this New Moon eclipse to test how much you follow your feelings and how much your mind dominates your choices. When the mind dominates you’ll hear “shoulds”. Shoulds are born in the mind. Action in alignment with feelings feel right and never feel like “shoulds”.
Cancer is the nesting instinct and ideas of security. Are you putting your faith in something real and true or something fleeting? What makes you feel secure? Are you inviting more of that into your life?
