This full Moon was glanced over in Sunday’s Celestial forecast. Today we want to go more in depth with the interpretation or explanation. The astrology is at the end.

Remember, Mercury is still retrograde in the sign of Leo with the Sun in the full moon, so glitches still abound.

This full Moon is significant because of its beneficial planetary relationships and the rising of the fixed star Sirius, the Dog Star, above the horizon. This is called the heliacal rising of Sirius. Some astrologers write about the Lion’s Gate which is at this time every year because of the heliacal rising of Sirius.

All full moons are when the Sun and Moon are opposite each other in the sky. You well know that people act differently during the full Moon. Some do not sleep because of the brightness in the night sky and the pull of energy between the Sun and Moon. Those who are already tense may act out. Areas of the body are also prominent during a full Moon, also which is well known to doctors and law enforcement people. For this full Moon  the areas of the body are the heart, upper back, high cholesterol, calves of the legs and possibly mental situations.

Communications, diplomacy and inventions go smoothly and are well received, with opportunities for action. However, the full Moon pulls some of that energy into ego and control, asking for hard-to-achieve cooperation. Also, there could be antagonism to the point of outright fighting or war if diplomacy fails. The frustrated diplomat may find success by appealing to cooler-minded individuals to work for the highest good of all humanity instead of only to one’s territory. The Vatican may be that entity.

There are two areas of potential conflict: the self-centered strongman who is trying to bully populations or large groups of people and the impulsive, pugilistic one who is antagonizing a fearless, active new alliance with well-established and idealistic partners. This could be the same person or country acting in different arenas. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Off to the side so-to-speak are the protective “mothers” wanting to help but are disconnected.

USA: continued focus on the homeland itself, could be the physical White House or the land across the country with loss of infrastructure from floods. Continued partisan opposition. Possible financial crisis because of too much recent spending that comes to light. There could be good and expansive agreements or treaties or a hubristic attitude toward immigrants and legal agreements. However, an unexpected change from the President could ease tensions if acknowledging the other’s situation is taken into consideration. The office of the presidency is active and could be either cooperative with the Vatican or coercive to all. Country-wide, America is off to the side watching. Interestingly, the Vatican may be the reasonable voice to bring a new perspective, possibly working with China and France. Either opposition could be between China and France against Iran, Canada and Mexico, or they try all to cooperate and come to a new understanding.

Personal signs:

The full Moon is in the signs of Leo and Aquarius, who will feel it the most with control-issue relationship challenges. Leo is not being paid enough attention to from Aquarius and Aquarius feels control from Leo. Taurus and Scorpio also experience control issues, but more like financial situations. Aries and Sagittarius could help Leo; Gemini and Libra could help Aquarius. Aries and Libra have a leadership and relationship oppositional situation; Cancer and Capricorn experience changes and leadership challenges. Gemini, Libra and Aquarius enjoy much harmony and astrologically are the diplomats and harmonizers for this full Moon. Cancer is protected and helped, and in turn helps others. Pisces is quietly behind the scenes but enjoys nice situations with Cancer and Scorpio. Virgo continues to attract persons and situations from the past. Taurus has the chance to be with Cancer or family for a nice time. Sagittarius the peacemaker has the opportunity to act cooperatively with diplomatic Libra. This is general and your personal experience could be very different. A short reading with me could quickly tell you what you need to know.

The astrology:

There is a grand trine with Uranus at 01 Gemini, Pluto at 02 Aquarius and Mars at 01 Libra, which aspects the USA MC with trines from Uranus and Pluto, indicating success. This is offset by Mars at 01 Libra in opposition to both Saturn and Neptune at 01 Aries. Saturn-Neptune is conjunct the USA IC, with Mars at the USA Midheaven, creating an opposition between the population and the office of the president or executive branch. The Saturn-Neptune conjunction is sextile to both Pluto and Uranus, indicating opportunity for new and unusual cooperative efforts, if the opportunity offered by the sextiles are activated and accepted.

The fixed star Sirius is conjunct Jupiter and close with Venus in the sky, all in their exaltation sign of Cancer! Exaltation in astrology means the planets like being in that sign and symbolically act in their highest. This wide conjunction in Cancer should enhance Cancer USA, but it is all alone in the full-Moon horoscope. This indicates that the USA is alone in the world right now, offset from everybody else.
