Full Moon - 19th 15:56 GMT

Hot in the footsteps of Imbolc, Chinese New Year (solar and lunar) and Valentines we have the Full Moon for February on 19th, 15:56 GMT.

I've had a look to see what theme there may be but nothing specific shouts out loud.  However, I think it could be more about lighting the way for the shift in the nodes which occur on the 20th.  As I mentioned in the February transits they are shifting to gates 62 and 61, so our collective direction moves toward seeking the details and clarification and away from (or, with a knowledge of) inner truth.  This means we have the south node conjunct with Pluto of course - one interpretation of the south node is that it represents our past; successes, transgressions, experiences, where we've already been as it were.  So, we have a chance to really delve our personal inner historical truths, this comes of course after the period we are currently in which has been giving us the chance to re-write our stories, let go of where we have limited ourselves.

In a natal chart "Pluto conjunct the South Node - Highly experienced in: psychological survival, deep transformation, intensity, feeling powerful.  When unbalanced: someone who thrives on unhealthy or destructive emotional dynamics or situations, compelled to live out a tragic tale.  When balanced: a passionate, formidable person who knows how to use their inner resources to change their lives and others’ without going to extremes"

We have until Easter with this combination rippling through our collective consciousness before the nodes shift again, and another interesting pattern will emerge as the south node will then track through 54 ... where we've had Pluto and currently have Saturn.

In the few days around Full moon we have Venus join the party conjuncting with Saturn.  You should recall 54 is about upgrading, about biding one's time, about being willing to start at the bottom and work your way up.  Saturn has a long run with 54, through till August, and Pluto picks up his final pass here in September - all the while (from late April - mid September) the south node will be in 54 - so it won't be until late October we finally clear that 54 energy when Pluto moves into 61, never to return in our lifetimes to 54!

Whilst the south node is there the north node will be in the gate of gradual progress ... so may be this is the beginning of the light at the end of the tunnel that many of us have been looking for ... a little more patience is required it seems and that is reflected by the position of the north node (where we are heading) on 20th ...

North Node's position for 20th February - BBW 62.6 "Pressing on forcefully and immodestly invites disaster.  Return to the path of humility and devotion to proper principles, and a great misfortune will be avoided."  

And Chetan says "Accepting Limits: Recognizing practical limitations in all your endeavours.  You need to exercise reserve if you are going to interact within the scope of your abilities."

And the Rune that stepped forward for this Full Moon ... is Berkana 


This rune is associated with the birch tree and of healing.  It represents the Spring and the birthing of the new.  Although it's about nurture it is about the kind of care that allows the old to be let go of and the new stepped into.  In some ways it marks the closure of a cycle as we birth something different.  Here we see the perspective shift, we are growing into something new and even though we may have achieved goals we set ourselves we find ourselves perhaps changed in ways we didn't anticipate.  

This feels very appropriate as we look toward a few months of really seeing before we can pick up the energy for moving forwards from Easter.

I'm half way through my Rune training and for the month of March am happy to offer free readings - I have 8 slots available.  If you'd like one please email me - see side bar for address.  This can take the form of a live call (Zoom), or I'm happy to do this via email once I know what you would like to look at.
