These factors alone would cause us to consider this Full Moon as being special –
but there's more. The most significant news about this Full Moon is
that it occurs within a mere three arc minutes of being EXACTLY conjunct
Uranus. In exact degrees, the Moon will be at 8°38′ Taurus and Uranus will be at 8°41′ Taurus. This proximity of Uranus to the Moon when it reaches fullness heightens its impact in many ways.
EMOTIONS
are usually heightened at the time of a Full Moon. It is why we have
the term "lunacy" in our language, due to the fact that some people's
mental
stability seems to be affected by this phase of the lunar cycle. We also
call people "moonstruck" when they are thinking or acting in ways that
are out of character, or perhaps even bizarre.
When
we add strong Uranian energies to the effects of a Full Moon, we can
imagine that feelings will be even more extreme than they are during a
"normal" Full Moon. Uranus is highly electric, so nervous energy is
likely to be very high, and we should not be expecting rational
behavior. Imagine a dark night with both a Full Moon and a
lightning storm, and you begin to get the picture.
AT SAMHAIN,
it is said that the veil is thinner between the worlds, making it
easier to communicate with the spiritual realms. Mystical experiences
are more
likely at this time. A Full Moon also increases that potential, so be
sure to watch your dreams and visions throughout the weekend for
messages from the Other Side.
And
what happens when we consider Uranus in this context? Uranus is the
planet of higher consciousness, and is called the Great Awakener.
Through Uranus, our intuition is heightened and we have greater access
to the Higher Mind. It
is the planet of breakthroughs and breakdowns, but not without purpose.
It is when we are dislodged from our usual routines and "normal
reality" that we open our minds to alternative ways of thinking. We
become more available to flashes of insight and inspiration when life
doesn't go according to plan.
NEEDLESS TO SAY,
as we get closer to the Full Moon, it will be very important to stay
centered. Just as they are during a thunderstorm, electrical energies
will
be quite high, which can be challenging if we're not grounded. On top of
all this, Mercury is still retrograde this week, which can
contribute to a sense of disassociation and lightheadedness. And, with
the Full Moon and Uranus in earthy Taurus, we can feel like the ground
is moving beneath our feet, either literally or figuratively.
Make good use of your calming techniques throughout this week and next weekend, especially those that involve slow, conscious breathing. If we're able to maintain our
emotional balance, we can find benefit in these energies through the expansion of consciousness that is possible.
OTHER PLANETARY ASPECTS this
week are lower impact, until we get to next weekend. Retrograde Mercury
will be square Saturn on Sunday, which can manifest as
less-than-optimistic thinking. This influence will actually last for
several days, since Mercury goes direct next Tuesday (November 3) and
exactly squares Saturn again on November 6. This aspect indicates delays
and disruptions in normal communications, exaggerating the Mercury
retrograde effect for several days.
Do
your best to maintain a spiritual perspective on all events throughout
this week and next. Call solar light to you and bring it into your
heart. From there, visualize this light from the soul planes
moving throughout your physical body. Then bring it into your mental and
emotional bodies, to soothe and calm, and to bring
all levels of your being into a higher vibration.
And
stay positive. Imagine this solar light moving out from your heart to
all of humanity. Radiate into the world the energy you most want to see
manifest. This is where our true power lies when external situations
appear to be beyond our control.
