Full Moon in Sagittarius: Test of Faith

The June 17th Full Moon (25 deg Sagittarius) makes no major aspects. It does brush up against a very wide conjunction to Jupiter Rx and square to Neptune in Pisces. But what’s more significant is the second Jupiter/Neptune square is exact on June 16th and Jupiter is the ruler of Sag.

So either way, it’s connected to the Jupiter/Neptune square.

What does it mean? The big (Jupiter)result is something that should be questioned. Jupiter square Neptune is a tense aspect between dreams and faith, and since Jupiter is Rx, it suggests that this is a time for asking questions about where that faith lies. You’re reviewing (Rx) the dream or promise.

In regards to this Full Moon, I would not take the results as anything final. Rather, I would see them as an entrance into more questions. What’s true and what’s not? It won’t be clear at this point, even if you think it is. You need to look closely at what you’re hoping for, because the square to Neptune dissolves the connection to reality.

Does that mean it’s all a lie? No, but…consider the tension between faith and belief. They are not the same. Neptune is about belief and this is something that transcends all man-made definitions. Faith is what you’re hoping for, but this Full Moon will cast doubt.

It’s a test, which is part of having faith. It’s not faith if it’s not tested, right?

Year 2020: Karmic Pile-Ups and the Social Order
Listening to C-SPAN Radio this morning my ears perked up when the discussion turned to Social Security issues and mention was made of the social safety net program’s crisis of 1982 and into the 1980s. Googling a bit I soon located an archived New York Times op-ed from May 20, 1982 concerning the "recurrent crisis" of funding the program, Social

There’s more than one way to deal with the wound, as long as you keep it light. Venus in Gemini is the multi-layered social interaction or new understanding of what’s beautiful. If you open your eyes and talk about what you want (or listen to what they want) you’ll discover empathy for what hurts.

This is a gentle influence – not heavy or emotionally charged. You touch on what hurts and then move away. Perhaps you return from a different angle, then move away again. At the same time, Chiron adds a bit of texture to Venus’ sometimes-superficial approach as the suggestion of awkwardness or fear adds a layer of attraction.

Maybe you can even muster a smile – this does not invalidate the pain.
