Full Moon January 30, 2010
January’s Full Moon is still pretty much a winter theme, with 7 planets and Chiron in the earth, air and water signs from Capricorn to Pisces. Emphasis is on practical matters, thought, reflection, and the refining of emotions – with little enthusiasm or action. The Full Moon in the Fire sign of Leo and conjunct Mars in Leo provides the exception, and a reminder that we need to supply a little warmth and action to keep a healthy balance. Mars is in apparent retrograde motion over a course of several weeks, until mid-March – which furthers stifles the impulse to `just be’ and to `lighten up’ a little.
Many of us are concerned with personal finances and the general economy, and the tragic earthquake in Haiti. With Jupiter just entering the sign of Pisces, the international community has responded with generous support and compassion to the disaster in Haiti. As bad as things may be in our personal lives, we realize how fragile many of our own communities are when faced with natural disasters of this magnitude.
The `outer’, slower moving planets which determine the larger picture of government, the economy, world events and natural events – have all been in earth, air and water signs for all of 2009, with the planet Pluto the last to leave a fire sign in January 2008. Fire signs fuel and influence action, creativity and outgoing expression. This January 30th Full Moon in Leo, conjunct Mars in Leo (although retrograde) should remind us of the joys of more `lightness of being’. We should focus on ways to be more creative, expressive and outgoing as we move toward spring. The planet Uranus is poised to enter the Fiery sign of Aries toward the end of May this year, and we can expect a lot of `fireworks’ then.
