- Sabian Symbols Showing the Light of Seeing Through
the Form Expressed By Focusing the Heart’s Desire -

As most of you know, the December 2020 Solstice conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at 1 Aquarius launched new 20 and 200 year eras. This Full Moon helps us see recent losses in a different light as we move through a time of upheaval and disruption. Read the flow and let go as needed.

I’ll speak more about the bigger picture after the Sabian Symbols. For now, let’s take a closer look at this disruptive Lunation freeing us but also forcing us to synthesize all the parts to see the whole which happens at 1:28 pm PST on November 15 at 25 Scorpio/Taurus.

This Full Moon has Sun in Scorpio and Moon in Taurus, indicating the Light of a focused intensity can be expressed through Taurus’ sense of calm self-mobilization on one’s own behalf. The is the Sun shining out deep social and/or emotional connections which will be given form by Taurus’ sense of enjoying the best life has to offer us on our own terms. The Light of emotional and/or social faith can now be expressed through new forms of emotional or social confirmation which is awakening right now.

Because the Full Moon fulfills the themes of the previous New Moon, this will bring the themes of the New Moon at 10 Scorpio to fulfillment. Those involved finding new connections with others, a deeper solidarity within some group, freedom to change course or hold the line, and the fulfillment of a social-actional condition. This Full Moon will amp up nervous tensions, so try to remain fluid, courageous, disciplined, mobilized, and deliberate. Again, see the big picture beyond the polarization and synthesize the parts to see the whole.

Because Taurus/Scorpio is the axis of the archetype of the Warrior/Guardian, we can be the stable focus we want, enjoying ourselves as we know when to advance, when to retreat, when to hold the line, and when to adapt. Guard boundaries and resources, and remember not to clutch at disappearing forms.

The Sun in Water and the Moon in Earth shows a time of the Fixed Water (stable if intense experience) of Scorpio expressing its concentrated magnetism through the Fixed Earth (grounded stable enjoyment) of Taurus. Because Uranus is how the Sun will be expressed, this will be an abrupt time. However, Neptune and Pluto can provide productive stability if we now how to generate positive Cancer and Virgo energy.

At this time, 2 planets are in the first third of their sign, 3 planets are in the second third of their signs, and 5 planets are in the last third of their signs. This indicates a major emphasis in the individual, mental, and spiritual field, with less emphasis on the social and emotional field and Venus quincunx Mars active in the actional-material field

Why Are Full Moons So Important?

At a Full Moon, that which has opened since the previous New Moon surfaces in a public form, and heads toward the culmination and fruition symbolized by the second half of any cycle. First half, birth into form and field. Second half, culmination and completion of the purpose of that cycle.

That’s why it’s important to regard the New and Full Moon charts as “God’s Footprints in Time,” since one follows the other in an unending sequence of births of newer and newer seeds. The New Moons show us the seeds that will flourish under the reflected light of the Full Moon.

Full Moons heighten feelings, due to the opposition of the Moon and the Sun. We are now in a time of the year when the inner planets begin a 7 month run of making conjunctions with the outer planets. In this chart we have 3 forming oppositions, the Sun opposed the Moon and Uranus, and Mercury opposed Jupiter. This creates 2 “awareness generator” zones, the first focused between 23-28 Scorpio/Taurus and the second at 16-21 Gemini/Sagittarius.

Dispositors - What's the Backdrop to the Energies?

The Sun is in Scorpio, ruled by Mars in Leo. The Moon is in Taurus, ruled by Venus in Capricorn. The Sun and Mars are in each other’s signs, showing they are in a “Mutual Reception,” a very powerful closed circuit of self-reinforcing energies. The Moon is ruled by Saturn.

Besides the Lunation, Mercury is in Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter. Venus is in Capricorn, ruled by Saturn. Mars and the Sun rule each other. Jupiter is in Gemini which is ruled by Mercury, and as Mercury and Jupiter are in each other’s signs, they also are in a Mutual Reception. Saturn in Pisces is ruled by Jupiter, Uranus in Taurus is ruled by Venus, Pluto in Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, and as usual, Neptune is a “standalone” planet, ruling itself.

That makes the Sun and Mars the final dispositors of themselves, and Mercury and Jupiter the final dispositors ruling all the other planets except for Neptune. The Sun and Mars are powerful as generators of the Lunation energy, but Mercury and Jupiter are the primary backdrops for everything else. Have a sense of humor amidst the friction, be dispassionate, and try not to get aggravated at the swirl of activity! Show patience and good humor.

By looking at how “chains of dispositors,” “final dispositors,” and “mutual reception” are in play between the planets, we get a clear picture of the backdrop for how each planet operates. You can find out more about dispositors in general, chains of dispositors, and mutual reception by going to Astrology Class – What Is A Dispositor and What Is Mutual Reception Between Two Planets?

The Magic of Venus: Friendships, Soul Mates, and Twin Flames

Venus at 5 Capricorn can help us mobilize, “get on the warpath,” and get ready to move responsibly into a position of power. It plays a powerful spiritual part as dispositor of the Moon and Uranus in a novile with the Sun. Its quincunx to Mars will help us make needed adjustments and sacrifices by generating positive Pisces and Gemini energies. Be compassionate as you master getting discouraged in the emotional traffic jam going on, and see how to codify new understanding into action.

The Sabian Symbols for the Full Moon

This Full Moon falls at 25 Scorpio and 25 Taurus. It is said that the third third (decan) of any sign deals with the individual, mental, and spiritual levels of life, and as the Lunation is in the third decan of those signs, invokes a sub-influence of Cancer/the Moon (with an added dose of Venus) and Capricorn/Saturn (with an added dose of Saturn).

Since the Moon always focuses the light of the Sun in specific forms, the degree symbols for both are important. The Sun degree is the illumination or enlightenment of the Lunation, whereas the Moon shows us the potential forms that enlightenment will take. Though I’ve given you a sense of what this is about up to now, here’s where we go into detail.

The Solar degree symbol for the 25th degree of Scorpio is “An X Ray.” According to Rudhyar’s notes from the Marc Jones class, this degree symbolizes the “Penetrating power of reality,” “dependence of outer facts upon basic structures and causes,” and “sharp and applied discrimination.”

In the Astrological Mandala, he states this degree is “the capacity to acquire a knowledge of the structural factors in all existence.” He says “The true philosopher is able to grasp and significantly evaluate what underlies all manifestations of life. His mind’s eye penetrates through the superficialities of existence and perceives the framework that gives … a relatively permanent “form to organized systems.”

He continues that this symbol enables us to see “the basic causes of outer disturbances and dis-ease” related to structural weaknesses and imbalances. He adds that it could provide depth understanding of what is wrong in situations and the great Principles which ground peak experiences. He states “this is structural knowledge in contrast to existential knowledge.” He says it falls in the span of Appreciation, and it’s the final degree of the social and emotional level of the Scene of Faith in the Act of Group Integration.

Dr. Marc E. Jones, creator of the Sabian Symbols, states that this is a symbol of our “organic integrity, or of the unvarying structures of nature on which all intelligence depends.” He says this is about “the well-being of each individual as a foundation for our self-realization in the world we share with others, and on our responsibility to keep ourselves fit for the performance of our part in the common functioning.”

He offers “we recognize ourselves as the measure of all effective reality,” and can see everything around us “as a continual revelation or validation of our own capacity.” The offers us the keyword INVESTIGATION, and says when operating in a positive way, this degree is “an exceptional power of analysis.”

The Lunar Sabian Symbol for the 25th degree of Taurus is “A large well-kept public park.” In his masterwork The Astrology of Personality, where Rudhyar uses the original Dr. Jones' class notes on the symbols, he says this is a degree of “social strength of collectivities,” “power of traditional culture,” “faithfulness to established achievements, “ and “immutability.”

In the Astrological Mandala, he states this degree symbolizes “the cultivation of natural energies for collective use and recreation.” He offers this symbol represents “the positive and impressive results of (our) collective endeavor to live in peace and to enjoy moments of relaxation,” with the park “designed and kept for the enjoyment of all…”

He continues that this is a phase of “collective enjoyment,” where we find “an emotional enhancement” through cultural things that give a feeling of “belonging to a large, organized peaceful whole.” He says this degree falls in the Span of Enjoyment, Act of Differentiation, and Scene of Confirmation on the Emotional-Cultural level.

Dr. Jones says this is a degree of “the everyday integrity of society at large,” and of “the divisions of labor through which each person gains the resources for well-being and self-enjoyment” which he says we cannot create through our “isolated efforts.” He offers this is about the “common experience” of being human as impacting our sense of worth and achievement for our “consequent self-discovery and self-realization.”

He offers us the keyword RECREATION. He states that when operating in a positive manner, this degree is “a high devotion to the practical welfare of all people collectively.”

From these symbols the Light of this Full Moon will help us see structural strengths and weaknesses in situations and arguments, where our powers of investigation are sharpened. This will be expressed through our ability to enjoy life in natural ways, and finding strength through enduring cultural symbols and areas and activities of collective enjoyment. Those who go to a “well-kept public park” may have sudden awakenings, so allow yourself some recreation.

We’re in an Era of Overlapping Capricorn and Aquarius Cycles

As you know by now, we had numerous important long wave conjunctions in January 2020 which were set into motion in March 2020, including a 12 year cycle and a 33 year cycle! Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto all made conjunctions in Capricorn in January and March 2020 which were activated by Mars in March 2020. Mars completed its run at its conjunction with Saturn at 1 Aquarius which also set long wave preliminary Aquarian structures into play which are expanding and currently taking shape for the next 16-17 years. The next few weeks renews that Aquarius pulse, and promises 2024 to be a very “Aquarian” year!

We’re seeing the competition between the Capricorn and Aquarian cycles play out in the world between the regressives and the progressives, between the forces of control and the forces which resist control, and between the materialists and the idealists. The Capricorn cycles will be in play for many years to come, but by mid-century they will wane while the Aquarian cycles will have become dominant.

That “Great Compression” of planets in early 2020 created a very crowded house in a very narrow span of degrees, impacting where we have late Capricorn for many years to come. Add the three conjunctions of Jupiter with Pluto as it transited back and forth over the January and March degree points, and we’ve had a lot of long wave Pluto energies expanded which will show effects over the next decade! If you’re wondering how this Great Compression and those to come will impact us, please check out the linked articles on the bottom of Part 1 of this series published Monday.

TransPluto, Divine Mother, and the Tests of Human Redemption

I’ve included this section for many years to keep you all aware of the workings of Divine Mother on our Earth in this Age in Transition. Rather than simply reprint it each month, I created this material as a separate article unto itself a while back. If you want to know more about the vast spiritual field coaxing us toward a great redemption of the promise of Life itself, please take a new look at TransPluto, Divine Mother, and the Spiritual Lessons of 2024. We have now returned to a time where we are again learning to get over our preconceptions and see higher ways to use our imagination to understand the next stage of our training.

*********

At the 2020 World Teacher Full Moon of Sun in Gemini and Moon in Sagittarius I gave you a universal prayer/meditation offered to us by the Tibetan Master D.K. in April 1945 at the end of the war. Tens of millions around the world do this prayer every Full Moon, tuning into the Whole which we ALL are together. I said it every day for many years, and still say it every Full Moon. (It was a real trip to see eyes suddenly open and/or lightbulbs go on over people’s heads when I did it countless times riding the NYC subways when I lived there in the early 80s!)

In 1976 I changed a few words to make it more universal. For your consideration,

The Great Invocation

From the point of Light within the mind of God
Let Light stream forth into the minds of All,
Let Light descend on Earth

From the point of Love within the heart of God
Let Love stream forth into the hearts of All
May Christ return to Earth

From the center where the Will of God is known
Let Purpose guide the little Wills of All
The Purpose which the Masters know and serve

From the center which we call the Human Race
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.

Again, as I’ve offered you many times before, when you see the title "The Christ" if you are so inclined please substitute "World Teacher," "Bodhisattva," "Imam Madhi," "Krishna," “Kristos,” "Avalokiteshvara," "Maitreya," "Messiah," or any other term used to describe this Great Being. And if you substitute “Enlightened Ones” or “Wise Ones” for “Masters” I doubt it would offend anyone.

See you soon with part 3 covering aspects, planetary sequencing, and other important factors in this disruptive Full Moon.
