Disseminating Moon: Who Will Listen?

good listeners wanted!

Disseminating Moon in Aquarius: June 7, 2012

The Full Moon has passed and the Moon now wanes. At this time, we wants to share with the world, recount our experiences, tell our stories. At the Disseminating Moon, the Moon and Sun challenge each other in a sesquiquadrate, a square and a half, and we wonder if anyone's paying any attention at all.

The Sun is still in talkative Gemini, and the Moon has just moved into community-oriented Aquarius. Venus remains in Gemini, and Mercury has just slipped into visionary Pisces: With this particular Disseminating Moon, the urge to share, show and tell might be especially strong. "Listen," we say, a little louder than we intended, "I've got something to tell you about."

The Full Moon Eclipse, Neptune stationing, and the Venus transit combine to bring forth some fascinating images and experiences. Strong dreams, intuitive 'aha' moments, psychic connections––a leap forward in some way. Now we want to get the word out.

And yet, in the swirl of images and messages, which are true? Which are real? Among the voices interpreting these tumultuous times, to whom do we listen? Is this apocalypse or the edge of paradise? Who's right?

Is Queen Elizabeth II a vision of Venus triumphant, or symbol of traditional authority? In this time of Neptunian-influenced communication, I was more entranced by the students of the Royal College of Music Chamber Choir who, thoroughly drenched in a cold rain, kept singing right to the end.

Disseminating Moon

The Aquarius Moon challenges us to clarify our vision and commit to core values––our own, not anyone else's.

The Moon is at the apex of a Finger of the World as she makes a sesquiquadrate to Mars as well as the Sun, and the Sun and Mars square off. At this time, what we think and say (Sun in Gemini) and how we act (Mars in Virgo) resolve differences by sorting out what we truly believe (Moon in Aquarius).

The Moon is trining the South Node and sextiling the North, flowing energy into forward motion on our life path, which is good, as confusing, nebulous Neptune and revolutionary Uranus both aspect the Nodes. Clear thinking does help.

Venus has completed her transit across the face of the Sun, and remains hidden until June 13, when she is reborn as the Morning Star. As the Moon is New when conjunct the Sun, this is a kind of "New Venus" when we look within.

With Venus in Gemini, we rethink our relationships, creative connections, and values––all the relational areas that Venus rules. What, where, and with whom are our core connections? What gives meaning, color, and joy to our lives? During this time of Venusian darkness, we're invited to muse on these issues.

Gemini is sometimes known for speaking first, thinking afterwards. Something interesting can happen when we talk, though––sometimes as we hear what we say, we realize what we really think and feel. Sometimes, in the act of telling the story, the meaning of the story (or dream, or intuitive experience) suddenly shines through.

If we're telling the same old story, in the same old way, this generally doesn't happen. But when we tell a new story, about something that just happened and still has us in its grip, the telling becomes an event with its own power.

So maybe what's important at this Disseminating Moon is that we tell our newest, craziest stories whether anyone listens or not. And maybe that's because our most important listener is ourselves.
