On May 23 we have a full moon in the sign of Sagittarius. Sagittarius is known as the archer, often depicted as a centaur with bow and arrow pointing to new places and new visions. Sagittarius is a mutable sign which means the energy of this full moon is supporting us in being adaptable, and exploring new ways of being in our world. Greek mythology associates Sagittarius with the centaur Chiron, the learned healer whose higher intelligence forms a bridge between Earth and Heaven.

We also have Antares conjunct the Moon in Sagittarius. Antares is a fixed star, one of the four royal stars, known as the Heart of the Scorpion, as it sits in the middle of the Scorpius Constellation. It is, on average, the fifteenth-brightest star in the night sky. The name Antares means anti-Ares, or the rival of Mars. This is partly because of its similar color to the red planet, but also because Antares has a similar energetic vibration. Both Antares and Mars are fearless, confident, passionate, and bold, but can also be hot-tempered, irritable, and impulsive. Antares conjunct the Moon opposite the Sun can give this full moon a quality of intensity and potency, as if something has to give or needs to shift. Hence the perfect timing for full moon realizations about what needs to shift or realizations about shifts already beginning to take place.

While the opposition of the Sun and Moon during a full moon is very predictable, the conjunction of the Sun and Sedna is (I would offer) the major event for this full moon. Sedna is a dwarf planet, discovered in 2003 orbiting beyond Pluto. Pluto is considered the planet of death/rebirth and transformation, it is considered a generational planet because its orbit of 273 years moves through the constellations (and astrological signs) so slowly that it creates lasting and once in a lifetime transformations. Sedna, in comparison, has an orbit of 11,400 years and can be seen as an even higher octave of Pluto. Sedna's impact is above and beyond the physical world and the laws of Karma as we know them via Pluto. While Pluto's version of Karmic transformation is traceable in the 3D world, Sedna's version of Karmic transformation is one of Karmic rebalancing on a universal level. Sedna exists above and beyond the 3D physical world, in the world of unity and interconnectedness.
​
Sedna has no regard, and probably no perception, of human 3D created and 3D bound egoic/top-down "rules. Sedna's energetic sees the bigger picture and that alone. Singular stories of ignorance and fear are irrelevant as are individual stories and reasons for doing things. Sedna operates on the scale of oceans, species, earthquakes and tsunamis; whole systems, not single organs.

This full moon ultimately reminds us that we live in truly transformational times. Times of massive shifts away from fear and separation and towards the collective and unity consciousness. While it might not seem on the surface that we are making progress as a collective, beneath the surface we are invited to be a valuable part of the healing and rebalancing of our world. I am offering a mini workshop as a free preview of my upcoming course, the Karma Clearing Project on June 1st. Join my email list here to receive the link to join live at 11am on June 1st.
Hope to see you there!

The new moon in Taurus is exact at 8:21pm pacific time on May 7th, although we have likely been feeling this coming for the week before, and we will be working with these energies for the following 2-4 weeks. 

I spend time in the podcast discussing the energetics, and want to offer some more insight here in the blog post about some major aspects present with the new moon:

1) This is a Super New Moon - Luna is extra close to earth, providing a more intense dose of her energy and adding intensity to the conjunction of Moon, Sun, Jupiter and Uranus.

2) The Jupiter Uranus conjunction being reactivated - inviting us to dream big for ourselves and to expand that vision to include the good of all during this Super New Moon. My suggestion is to feel into how your dreams and desires can serve the collective. You can find the recording of this gathering here.

3) Mars in Aries - adds a potent dose of courage, motivation and personal mission. Mars in Aries also reminds us that we are the change that we seek, and we will be well served to reflect on how we can take ownership of our lives and creative experiences.

4) Pluto stationing retrograde - reminds us that everything we experience as a part of this lunar cycle is also a part of larger cycles of time. We are encouraged to face fears, and release outdated patterns. The orbital cycle of Pluto is 248 years, with each transition from one sign to another marking a multi-generational shift. Pluto is in the final stages of exiting Capricorn and entering Aquarius this year, and this final retrograde from May 2 - October 11 signals the time to review and reorient ourselves and our vision according to the feedback the universe and world around us are offering. 

I also want to invite you to join me for my upcoming course the Karma Clearing Project, which officially begins on June 8th. We will meet for 6 consecutive weeks and you will have course materials to work through each week. The intention is to explore methods for clearing our own Karma, that of our lineage, family and community and finish with a global healing project. You can find out more and sign up here.
