Disseminating Moon: In the Whirlwind

seeds to the wind

Disseminating Moon in Pisces: July 7, 2012

The Full Moon has passed and the world is changed. It'll be a while before all the changes shake out and we settle into what they are, but something seismic shifted.

This was the Capricorn Full Moon, ruled by Saturn, Lord  of Matter, and we heard that the god particle (originally meant to be the goddam particle), the boson that brings matter to our universe has been found.

This might not seem relevant to daily life, especially in a summer bringing intense heat, drought, and fires to some, and torrential rain and floods to others. Yet working to understand the fabric of the universe leads us toward understanding life, and our lives. This was illuminated at the Full Moon.

Now the Moon is waning, bits of her full roundness disappearing as she shares herself with the world. What reached fruition at the Full Moon is now disseminated, like a ripe seedhead scattering its fruits to the wind.

At this Disseminating Moon, the Moon is at 0 Pisces, conjunct Neptune and Chiron, and sesquiquadrate (a square and a half) the Sun in the middle of Cancer. Sun and Moon in difficult aspect in Water, with Neptune the illusionist (or visionary) and Chiron the wounded (or healer) right there.

Looking at the challenges cropping up in our personal lives, as well as in the world around us, it would be easy to collapse into feelings of fear, anger, stress and being overwhelmed.

There's plenty of overwhelm around. The Disseminating Moon chart includes two complex T-squares, two Fingers of the World patterns, and two Yods––the skies echoing the feeling that things are coming to a point, cannot continue as they are, and something, somewhere will tip us into something else entirely.

We're surrounded also by energies supporting, urging––ok, sometimes it feels like forcing––our transformation. All of the powerful outer planets are included in the T-squares and Pluto is at the apex of one Yod. There's a cosmic dance happening, and we've got our ticket.

The real question is, can we keep up? Is the pace more than we can stand, the needs greater than we can bear?

In answering those questions, it's worth noting that the "answer" to the Yod pointed at Pluto is the Sun in Cancer, who sits beneath that triangle––the Sun at home, nurturing, feeding, supporting, and maintaining vital traditions. One of the Finger of the World patterns points at the Cancer Sun too, emphasizing that Cancerian homeplace.

It's worth noting that the other Yod points at Mercury in Leo, inviting us to speak from the heart, to explore and share our passions in creative and playful ways. The other Finger of the World points at Saturn, the manifester, ready to work hard to make things happen.

The answers to our challenges are not out of this world. They are within each of us, when we act in alignment with what is best in us, and when we respond to what is best in others and in the world.

Yes, change is here, and change is needed. If the seeds we disseminate are the best we can offer, the growth that comes will answer the needs.
