SUNDAY, NOV. 5th, 2006 – 1:14AM (EST)
BELOVEDS, This Full Moon period, starting on the 3rd, and ending on the 6th, will be a particularly intense period, especially for individuals born under the fixed signs, i.e. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. That's because there will be a Grand Square in fixed signs and 5 planets in Scorpio: the Sun, Retrograde Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter. These five planets will be forming a square (90 degree angle) to Neptune in Aquarius and Saturn in Leo, while opposing the Full Moon in Taurus. The chart for the exact time of the Full Moon (7:58 am, est) also comes up with Scorpio Rising.
The Grand Square has an "either, or" feeling that comes with it. EITHER you're going to stay in a spiritual mode, pray, meditate, "be" the peace you want for the world in your relationships with other humans, OR you're going to react to what's going on with anger, resentment, fear and anxiety. The good thing is that we all have a choice in these matters. On the good side, the Full Moon in Taurus is an excellent period to be vigilant about your prayer life. It's a good time to hunker down and say those prosperity prayers with increased energy and belief.
My teacher, Isabel Hickey, gave us a positive look at Grand Squares. As students we were somewhat fearful and anxious about a Grand Square that was coming up. Issie laughed and told us that it would be what we make it. That the hidden message in the Grand Square was that we could turn it into a Grand Trine (easeful harmonious aspect), if we dealt with the situations in our lives from a spiritual perspective. She also reminded us that "this too shall pass." And that we didn't have to make decisions that would affect us in the long term; we could wait it out and stay positive in knowing that nothing lasts forever. During that time, we all were reading astrology magazines and tuning into the negative predictions about the upcoming Grand Square. We wanted to believe her but our conscious minds had soaked up every negative idea that other astrologers had predicted. But the Grand Square came and passed. Except for some nervous energy in my stomach, I don't remember any disastrous thing happening for me personally. As I walked the streets of Harlem, I did observe arguments between neighbors and read about a train accident involving many people.
With the emphasis on five planets in Scorpio, and Scorpio Rising, there's an air of mystery and secretiveness with this Grand Square. All of the planets in Scorpio will be in the 12th House of Hidden Things. With the upcoming election, I could think of actions being maneuvered behind-the-scenes, while political pundits predict that the Democrats will take over the House of Representatives. Due to Mercury being retrograde during the Full Moon, I also believe that what's done under cover will be revealed when Mercury turns direct on the Nov. 17th.
Meanwhile, the weather is bound to be a story again, as it has been for most of this year. Five planets in water suggest increased precipitation, flooding in some areas, and snow in the higher elevations. What ever it is, just keep in mind that you have everything you need to flow (like water) through this period successfully. In fact, you could have fun being the witness of, but not the participator in, any of the events happening during this time. Quietly observe the actions of others and be thankful that you know what's happening on the cosmic level.
Keep the Light around you, meditate and pray for what you want with the faith that the seeds sown now will eventually become a reality.
Love & Light, Ayesha
