August 11 Supermoon by M.Finey at Celestial

Insight

Astrologically the Moon governs our emotions and the personal unconscious.

The goddess of the night has a special relationship with the Earth, helping to regulating life. She is

linked to the female menstrual cycle and the reproductive cycles of many

other life forms.

The Moon’s association with the water element is both symbolic and l i teral. She governs the tides and symbolizes feminine wisdom.The Moon does not have l ight of her own but reflects the l ight of the Sun. In her ever changing relationship with the Sun and the Earth she goes through phases, revealing more of herself during her waxing cycle, then retreating again as she wanes and aligns once more with the Sun at New Moon.

As the Moon orbits the Earth, held in posit ion by gravitational forces, her actual distance from us fluctuates sl ightly. This ebb and flow is why she appears to be larger on occasion.A Supermoon occurs when the Moon is New, or Full, and also making a close approach to the Earth (Perigee).The term ‘Supermoon’ was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle, and it has been adopted by the astronomical community as well.New Supermoons are not visible because the Sun and Moon are together in the sky at New Moon, but Full Supermoons appear much larger than a normal Full Moon. Several Supermoons happen each year.

This month we have a full Supermoon on August 11. This is the largest Supermoon of 2014.

Interestingly, the August Supermoon falls on the 11th which happens to be a Monday, the day of the week that is named after the Moon.

Mercury has just reached superior conjunction, so Mercury and the Sun are in opposition to the Moon. All three planets are squaring Saturn, co-ruler of Aquarius. Saturn is now moving forward after its recent station.

This fixed T-square involving Sun, Moon, Mercury and Saturn, amplifies all the qualities we associate with fixity such as; loyalty, passion, determination, intensity, staying power, thoroughness and resilience. Equally it adds a degree of inflexibility, pig-headedness and extremism which are some of the negative traits of fixity. Think ‘fixation’; it’s easy to become obsessed by our passions, especially now.

T-square aspects are known to produce tension. In this case it suggests a degree of emotional tension that may be related to shared resources (Scorpio), creative endeavors (Leo), or community engagement (Aquarius).

This Full Moon is a major turning point in the our journey through 2014. Falling close to a cross quarter day (15 degrees fixed signs) we have just passed the midpoint between the June Solstice and the coming September Equinox.

At each Full Moon activity reaches a peak. This being a Supermoon, and the largest Full Moon of the year, big projects, major events and emotional responses are likely to take centre stage.

This Supermoon will boost emotional courage, strengthen our resolve and help us confront any issues of principle, boundaries or responsibilities.
