Lunar Monthly Musings by Phoenix the Elder – Greetings artists, people of dreams and visions, healers, seers and empaths… we have completed our second moon cycle of Winter (Capricorn), which lasted till the very last moment! It hung onto its cycle with a fever – but on Jan 25th the energy shifted mid-afternoon and the water spilled releasing the Cancer full moon’s hold. It seems all Cancer and Capricorn people had a rough go of it and as they find their composure again, we start new.
We officially enter the 3rd New Moon of Winter (Aquarius) on January 27th, 2017 around 4:00 pm PST with a Lunar Eclipse on the Leo full moon in two weeks. The electricity charge of this moon cycle will be much different than the last four weeks of accumulation. But we still have some strong ties to the Capricorn energy, making our goals and intention to focus more on freeing our self from chaos or things that weigh us down within responsibility. Aquarian and Sagittarian energy are the two most rebellious of earth, even Trump, who is a Gemini with Uranus conjunct his Sun, will show the world how Uranian energy works in living color and world wide. For those not marked at birth with chaos fate, they certainly are overwhelmed by it. For those born with the mark of chaos, its just another day.
I posted the first photo above to show you two main symbols of Uranus (Aquarian energy). The photo on the left is an expression of the 0-15 degrees of Aquarius and the influences of Capricorn: The individual, the rebel, the true energy of chaos within the family, corporations, government or business. The photo on the right, 15-30 degrees of Aquarius, influenced by Pisces: The magical, the mystical and visionary or the self-sabotage sides of Aquarius/Uranus.
This New Moon sits at 8 degrees and those who work with o we are the energy of 8 knows that its about keeping the flow between light and dark in a constant movement. This moon is going to express our personal world, the more challenging Capricorn issues of Saturn and Uranus’ who dislike of each other and a bit o’chaos.
In the family dynamic, this will be the responsible person verses the chaos person, in community it will be the rebel verses structure, the closed minded verses the visionary and in the collective it will be power (leadership) verses the common sense with positive detachment. In other words, this cycle is the tension that urges great change. So wherever you sit in the world this moon, try to understand the oppositions are the greatest tension of the year – this is because the new year (spring) hasn’t begun the new energy for the year yet, regardless what current Sun cults and their calendars proclaimed around the Winter Solstice that it was the new year. People get in trouble with both energetic reality and cycle flow when they believe the new year started mid-winter. That would be like harvesting your garden at mid-summer instead of late summer and early autumn.
All of you should have experienced some chaos already with the start of this moon cycle, if not, that train will arrive on time at the Leo Full Moon on Friday, Feb 10th with a Lunar Eclipse. The work I teach is to structure soul and emotional chaos into natural flow and nature’s moon cycles which teaches us how E.I. (emotional intelligence energy works and flow), be that within us or nature.
It is not to be avoided, that only makes it worse, nor to fear it (this natural flow) or to deny it. Its about jumping into the “World River that flows down from the Sacred Mountain” and letting it lead, showing you something new about your personal fears, unconscious denials and avoidance of your own deep driving path. People like the World Tree symbolism, a solid spirituality with just a few winds in winter that tousle and untangle as quickly as it happens. Those who are dreamers must live with the World River and the Sacred Mountain Stream and that is why I love my Slavic ancestors and their dreamer’s mysticism. To us, most of our path and spiritual path is hidden and requires getting order to assure you disciplines and trained with blindfolds and becoming masters at seeing the dark. T0his helps us at our arrival at our destination (intention) which has not appeared yet but will each moon cycle. That is what, and where the mysterious magic is located for artists, dreamers, empaths etc.
I call it Frozen Fog, the Chaos Magic which truly does fall under the Uranian jurisdiction and when I see Libras trying to balance it, or Capricorns trying to structure it or even Aries pushing it into a box, etc. – I have to smile. We don’t own Chaos, it owns us and there is nothing we can do about except to master the self. If your life is not full of chaos then you are not working with or appropriately touching chaos magic. Those of you who are dreamers and work with or study chaos magic principles, true chaos means that you walk into the tornado, you don’t try to analyze or figure out how you control the tornado in Kansas eating up everything.
So be very wise in your intention, your prayers, or if you do magical work, the process itself in chaos magic. Chaos should not be applied until spring comes when mother earth awaken for she does not like to be disturbed in her winter sleep.
I wrote an article a few months back, here on this blog, of the Golden Baba, which are the golden grandmothers of our past. It spoke about the white indigenous Slavic tribes of the north. The 13th century article called them the “sleeping people” and if disturbed, they would wake up angry and also die. They were an old dream (bear) culture, who fell asleep around the Autumn Equinox and did not awaken until Spring. Of course, they died out because the new world order after the 12th century which said there was no more room on earth for the old ones, just like everywhere else on earth.
For those of you who are dreamers, its very important for you to give your self permission to dream in the three moons of winter and sleep more, especially if you have a water sun or moon (Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio). Its necessary for you to maintain your natural emotional health, so try not to be swayed by the fire or earth clan people who don’t need the extra sleep and dreaming, and are on the go all the time. Never compare yourself or your children to non-dreamer types, for they have an older relationship to the earth.
When I was young and blind, in my late 30s I had to learn the hard way when my children were teenagers. I would say why can’t you behave like so and so and see them as an example, I had not mastered the mirror principles quite yet. I finally had so many good daggers thrown at me by my kids (which hurt) of them giving me flack for that, that I stopped and gave up. So try to loosen your mother hen a bit this cycle and use your individual self or independent part of your self to chose only whats most important. Apply Fire Rooster energy only to the most dangerous and most intense when dealing with your world to add some of your power to find balance for self purification and defense for healthy boundaries against those who want to eat you alive with their niceness, their love and their control issues hidden to them (or yours).
Speaking of Fire Rooster energy, this new moon is also the Chinese New Year which brings fire and purification, of the bossy energy types! I will repeat again: Make sure the south direction of your home, house or property has some metal chimes hanging there until next February, 2018. Some bossy people are natural leaders, but some just need to cry and have a release and accept they are not warrior types, they are just angry and under that anger, is a lot of sadness or depression which requires a lot of tears. Most non-warrior archetypes generally get physically hurt trying to flex that archetype when its not theirs. Know they self.
I ask people in the third moon of winter: “Where is your Rebel? Where is he or she hiding from you that either sabotages you or stands up for you? Remember all fixed “energy” signs (not people), must work together in the symbolic means of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. In a fixed moon, these energies must learn to be friends in order to help us navigate a fixed moon cycle.
Taurus owns practicality, Leo owns Love, Scorpio owns seeing in the Dark and Aquarius see’s all of them plus its own Rebel vs Chaos vs Visionary archetype. Many feel people guilty for their rebel or their chaos and others make damn sure others do feel guilty for it. So in an Aquarian cycle, the natural rebel, be emotionally detached and put on your armor and when Pisces Moon comes next moon, take the fixed armor off, be emotional and throw that armor in the ocean for cleansing.
Shame or Shaming others which is used in an Aquarian cycle always backfires on the shamer or self shamer, so make sure you put that on the back burner, it is not a good attitude for this moon cycle, and its wise to remember that you are truly your own worst enemy and nobody else is. This last moon of winter says: Make a decision and stick to it (fixed sign), come hell or high water. Fixed energy is to push through difficulty, slay the self (ego, vindictiveness or jealousy) and to give yourself so much trouble that you reach a higher level of your personal struggle.
What I read out there in the spiritual world is the old worn out 60s image of Aquarian Uranian energy of: ONE LOVE, ONE WORLD, ONE ENERGY (along with Bob Marley smoking a joint). That my friend is 1960s Aquarian projection, not reality. Trump is more Aquarian Uranian energy, just like war and upheaval was in the late 60s. The Pisces shadow sides in the Age of Pisces which was finishing up its 2,000 years in the 60s, was escapism that died on New Years Eve, 1970. People who work together in harmony is because of their own lifetimes of soul evolution, not an “age.” The age only exemplifies the scenario and stage of the drama vs creativity. We are all at different places, we all have different karma (vibration) and we are not all alike nor do we walk in that blindness or highness highmess.
Being Aquarian opposite Uranus with a Pisces Moon, I have had to learn to first see, then slay the self, then let the little self go and put this on “auto repeat” most of my life until I got it right and once I joined the energy of the consciousness and actual cycles of the moon along with mother earth, that became easier and it was more supportive to my spiritual path in all the shadow and light activity happening. A path that I was to survive, not play with its philosophies and theologies as if those were jumping off the pages of books into my room. The archetypes and symbols were but not the idealism. Idealism of Aquarian Uranian energy always meets the truth and rarely are these two right on target, they are truly oppositions. So be in the present moment until the Spring Equinox with some self dignity!

Last Note: Valentines Day is Feb 14 and the Full Moon in Leo is Feb 10th! So if something arises for you it might be around a release issue of Chaos within Love or Marriage Relationships.
Also in the Chart below the Sun/Moon (new moon), are not really influenced by much here, but everywhere around them is a big fat T-Square (red triangle) which is tension. Since Leo is about relations on the full moon, note the mars, venus, chiron conjunction. If a love spat or love triangle arises, just know that your personal woundedness will arise, so use it to your advantage to learn about where you are wounded in love in order to focus your healing there for the remainder of the month. Be Nice to yourself. Also practice being still, meditate, and focus on your groundedness and let the Chaos fly all around you. Try really hard NOT TO GET INVOLVE IN OTHER PEOPLES CHAOS this moon cycle.
Work on your own chaos, just practice a bit more silence and observe more of what is happening. Whatever you do, keep your mouth shut. That is my BEST wisdom for the month. If you do have to go chaos on a situation, make sure its worth the battle.
Aquarian moons are about truth and truth sayers and the Sun sign of Aquarius went into Aquarius on Jan 21st… The video this month is what nobody showed you in the past week up in Washington DC…
