Full Moon in Sagittarius
Tuesday June 13, 2022 at 5:51AM MST @ 23degrees Sagittarius
Earlier this weekend we started off with:
Venus conjunct Uranus in Taurus at 16degrees
Mars conjunct Chiron in Aries at 15degrees
Lunar Nodes in Taurus square with Saturn in Aquarius- this energy is slowly leaving its perfect aspect (the moment of exact intensity) but still is in orb (range) of each other
The Moon and Sun are in a square aspect with Neptune in Pisces; and are also in aspect with Saturn in Aquarius
Grandmother Moon, please share with me an aspect of my relationship within my soul that needs to become more aware during Full Moon in Sagittarius and the Sun In Gemini?
For the love of our minds!
A book title came across my awareness not that long ago: “Healing the Soul in the Age of the Brain” by Elio Frattaroli. That title pretty much sums up the majority of challenges faced at this time, the growth and healing I can deepen into. All the beliefs associated with the importance we collective have placed on the mind.
The mind is is neither good nor bad, it is in fact extremely useful. There are many much needed systems that are housed in the Brain. The challenge it seems is that we have placed beliefs that the mind and the brain are more important than anything else about us. Creating a hierarchy, mind and brain on top, everything else underneath. That goes against the peaceful balance we could be living in, the feeling of calm that occurs in a state of equilibrium. In that hierarchy we are also disconnected from nature and the world around us.
As we near the Summer Solstice here in the Northern Hemisphere, the Full Moon helps me become aware of what I have: a love of the mind above everything else. In that acknowledgement I can begin making room for the rest of me. There is fear there, as I do not know what I will find. There is sadness, for I know there is much that has been neglected. As I begin to feel about how much I love my mind, I become increasingly aware that the hierarchy I experience in the world around me mirrors the hierarchy within- if do not treat all parts of my being as equal there is no way I can successfully treat the world around me equally. In my love of my mind, the conversations can be never ending, wasting precious time.
All of the beliefs start to come forward of how I may be deluding myself into believing that I live from more than just my mind.
This ultimately brings the point forward I am wrestling with: when living only from the mind, I feel insatiable in my hunger for more knowledge. Because what will fill me and satiate me cannot be found alone in the mind. It is when I transcend from the mind, my experiences and information becomes emotional and embodied, thus engaging my senses and soul so that I can make the best decisions and take the most loving actions possible in every moment.
I should really pause here and stay with feeling how much I love my mind. I could philosophically write about what comes up for a long time….
Happy Summer Solstice
