FULL MOON - 23rd (22nd in the US)

The full moon this month occurs in gate 20, line 1 

EDIT - I felt guided to add what BBW writes for 20 line 1 

"Others may not yet recognise the correctness of following truth.  The superior person leads them to this by deepening her own contemplation."

Also in this position, apart from the Earth of course (which is what makes for a Full Moon), is Echeclus, Bienor and Admetos.  Some interesting characters being activated here.

There isn't a great deal said about Echeclus, he's a Centaur that came to a grisly end but this has been noted over at Chiron and Friends (quoting Amable's Blog, trans-neptunian astrology);

"When Echeclus is activated, there are time connections between past, present and future. Usually something of the past has imposing influence in the present, and something of the present can have an imposing influence in the future, and vice versa"

This is interesting given we are just past Mercury over the Great Attractor with its time-warping aspects where he will return in December.  Certainly some sifting/reappearance of old influences are likely.  

Bienor is about synchronicities and breakthrough solutions, often from unexpected events, so very much in the 'timing' frame of reference as well and Admetos is often seen as the anchor around which life events circle, again a time and space energy going on.

Opposing this position is the Sun in 34, line 1 ... a sacral gate with Jupiter and Atlantis, a lost city from history.  Mmm, an aspect of the hidden here, but also of course the triumph of technology over nature before its destruction.  Jupiter is about expansion, but also your personal law. 

This hexagram position is about ensuring you have a firm foundation whilst you gather strength.  There is not enough strength yet to move forward without misfortune, and perhaps Atlantis reminds us of this.

BBW "Your power is being directed by your ego now.  Detach, disengage and restore you equanimity, or there will be humiliation."

This feels like a moment to allow the full moon to shine on any decisions you may be considering, any turning points, sit with what is highlighted, but do not act yet, wait for further confirmations to arrive. 

I asked for a Rune for the Full Moon ... Uruz stepped forward ... this is the second letter in the Runic Alphabet (the Elder Futhark) and means Aurochs, now extinct wild cattle.  It represents willpower and determination.  The power of the self, and can be associated with rites of passage.  It is at the very beginning of the sequence when one is still gathering strength and focussing attention, and very much confirms for me this moment is not about taking action immediately but biding one's time.
