Gibbous Moon Phase: trust, embracing the magic of life


Moon in Cancer/Leo 9:18 pm ET/2:18 am UT


Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Matangi, Goddess of the Wind


Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Seth, God of the North, God of Enlightenment


Skill: use discernment with what is on display


True Alignments: values and standards, exchange and interchange, free spirited, building on strengths, seeing the truth, inside matching outside, inspiration, putting oneself into the mix, putting the best foot forward, wider audience, ideals


Catalysts for Change: powers of persuasion or mind control, breaking rules that are in place for the benefit of all, stingy with money, deceptive shows or presentations/false flags, extremes of superficiality, inside not matching the outside, the lack of integrity or value being visible


Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a large white dove bearing a message" (information, signs)


Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres" (recalibration of consciousness)


Today's energy makes quite a scene.  The Sabian symbols of the locations of the inner planets center around what is on display -- things being on display, things being featured, displaying the best or idealized versions, and even putting on a show.  The energy is quite theatrical.


Wise owls look at what is being presented today clearly and objectively, relying heavily on the super-power that results from "waking up" to the "reality" of the world: discernment.  Discernment is a skill that we have been practicing for a long time.  The process of discernment comes about from activation of the will (the divine masculine) with wisdom (the divine feminine).


We also understand that propaganda is running wild right now, with Mars discharging the "scene" of "crowds coming down the mountain to listen to one inspired man."  We are able to discern who is truly inspired.  The rest is flimflam.


The other symbols involved are the Sun at "a crowded public marketplace," the Earth at "in a portrait the best of a man's features and traits are idealized," and Mercury is at "beautifully gowned wax figures on display."


We consider the "display" theme within both the microcosm of our personal lives and the macrocosm of the world at large.  What are you being shown today?  What is on the stage?  What is the message?  What are the signs?  Are there repeats or synchronicities?


On the side, Venus is discharging the energy of "a deserter from the navy," so the message or whatever is on display may prompt feelings of wanting to opt out, removal, or escape.  Most often, this energy involves our morals and values and situations that run counter to these.


Often overlooked with this symbol is the key element that it is a sailor from the navy deserting.  The branch of service is the navy.  Sailors cannot desert anytime they like because they are often underway or at sea.  "Jumping ship" can only happen under certain circumstances, so we want to consider the consequences of our actions before taking important action today.


The navy is defense by way of water.  In astrology and archetypal psychology water is symbolic of emotions.  Overall, this energetic seeks release from anything that is emotionally overwhelming or pressuring us.  Circumstances are designed to carry this out.


It should be noted that this dynamic also energizes rebellion against imperialism and any type of control system, a wider theme "underway" since April 18, 2015, the beginning of the current solar-lunar year.


So, in the "show" of today, we see what is being presented and pointed out to us.  We engage our discernment.  We are vigilant to signs and synchronicities.  We attend to wisdom.  And when the beauty of nature is displayed for you, snap a picture and send it in for all of the parliament of wise owls to enjoy!

Gibbous Moon Phase: trust, wonder


Moon in Cancer


Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Matangi, Goddess of the Wind


Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Seth, God of the North, God of Enlightenment


Skill: make something grander


True Alignments: quality, the value of having experiences and gaining wisdom, connection with nature, inner strength, liberation, integration, real, heartfelt, thinking of a new way, uniqueness, creative bursts, in awe, appreciation, the support of the universe

Catalysts for Change: rushing, rushing and missing important things, overly self-conscious, manipulation, game playing, speaking before thinking, sudden emotional explosions, lack of belief, concealing, putting things through a test, propaganda, theft


Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a large white dove bearing a message" (information, signs, peace)


Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres" (recalibration of consciousness)


In the principles of astrology, today is a "grand" day.  This is the one day this month that the Moon sets off multiple T-squares, a Grand Trine, and a Grand Cross.  This means that today is likely to be eventful, as many of the planets are being activated, all in service of this lunar month's mission of "a large white dove bearing a message" -- to give us helpful information.


Let's look at the Sabian symbols for the location of these planets and the grandness they are unfolding:


MOON:  The Moon is always the catalyst for things that happen each day.  Today, the Moon builds toward 18 Cancer (which it will reach at 8:34 pm ET/01:34 am UT) with the Sabian symbol of "the seed grows into knowledge and life."  This is the primary dynamic today.  What does this symbol image for you?


What usually accompanies this energy is some sort of "seed" that starts with some type of "lack."  Feelings of dissatisfaction, failure, lack of progress or even halted development are the catalysts for a change.  From a need, we find a seed.


This seed is innovative because it has been forged from a need.  "Need" activates will and desire, which activates chains of events.  This is what makes life unique and interesting because we all respond differently, according to what is happening in our own astrological charts (energetic and interactive blueprint of life).


It is wise to be certain of what we truly "need."


Morphing time and space, the seed is also the flower, so seeding is also flowering.  As we work to understand the energy of this symbol today, we can also think about it from the perspective of flowering.


As we look at the Sabian symbols for the locations of the other planets today, we want to hold the day's events, circumstances, and situations (personally and collectively) under a dual backdrop of the DELIVERY OF MESSAGES (a la the lunar month's theme of "a large white dove bearing a message") and the insight into WHAT IS GROWING.


From here, there is just about something for everyone, so see what stands out to you amongst the rest of the planets:


SUN: "moonlit fields, once Babylon, are blooming white"  This energy brings out the best of things.  It wants to blanket true paths with rewards.  The universe peppers us with support and inspiration for flowering.  The past is implied, usually centered on relieving something from the past.  (To me, in the modern era, this symbol conjures images of the poppy fields of Afghanistan.)


EARTH: "an unsealed letter" Things come out into the open with this energy.  Messages and information that were previously unknown or deliberately closed (sealed) have a way of leaking or spilling out.  Delightful surprises and wonderful news also comes with this.  Sharing is implied, and this energy wants us to freely share.


VENUS: "an unexpected thunderstorm" Expecting the unexpected is indeed a good plan today, which means we endeavor to be flexible and adaptive.  This energetic can produce any number of levels of chaos -- things that change the way we had it planned.  Our fortitude with something can be tested.  Overall, however, this dynamo wants to clear the air of things that have compounded or built up.  The Wisdom Goddess Matangi will certainly be using this energetic as part of her month-long sweeping of energies.  This hits some people harder than others with feelings of being out of control.  If you are over-controlling something, this energy will try to help you loosen that whip.


MERCURY: "a child born out of an eggshell" New expressions come with this energy.  Impulsivity is part of this.  As such, Mercury is contributing mightily to the energy of "the seed grows into knowledge and life."  Mercury is The Messenger, so we want to pay attention to new paths and directions that enhance what is already in place.  Taken in context of the whole of today's energy, the "child" is born from the egg of the "large white dove bearing a message."


MARS: "crowds coming down the mountain to listen to one inspired man" Mars rules our energy level, so when it activates this degree it can become evangelical.  The highest octave of this symbol is integrating what is being received and then taking action with it.


CHIRON: "a table set for an evening meal"  This is the degree of the next New Moon, the New Moon in Pisces.  This energy is about grace, fulfillment of needs, and patience.  Things are ready and waiting for us. Note today's events, paying attention to who, what, why, and where, as today will foreshadow not just the next lunar month, but also the next solar-lunar year.


URANUS: "an empty hammock" Uranus is telling us to lighten up, relax, and not be so hard on ourselves right now.  Uranus is the planet that puts us where we need to be at the time, and we are at its mercy.  It will do whatever it must to set our lives on correct course.  To some degree today, especially with anything unexpected, we are directed to sit back for the ride.


PLUTO: "a girl surreptitiously bathing in the nude" Pluto is slowly disseminating the energy of disclosure and exposure.  Restraints and limitations are being thrown off.  In the geopolitical context, the "gloves" are coming off.  Pluto is a powerhouse and it is pushing things out into the open.  We confront things under this energy, especially ourselves.


THE BLACK MOON: "a young girl feeding birds in winter" This is the energy of nourishing others and self.  It is about helping ourselves and others in need of something emotionally or physically.  Things can often go cold or freeze up.  The inner sacred feminine is there to nourish the soul, and we can connect to that.


This is a long report, but today is an important day.  The "grandness" of it unfolds as the Gibbous Moon phase begins, and Gibbous phase is a magical time of the Moon's journey.  The Oracle Report is written by the light Sun, but is often best understood by light of the Moon.  Re-reading this report tonight may prove valuable.
