Aquarius Full Moon Chart 2003:
The full moon chart is very powerful with an inordinate emphasis on Ray One although there is Second and Seventh Ray presence as well. It seems important to highlight this chart as we enter this full moon period.
To begin, there are four major conjunctions:
Sun conjunct Uranus in Aquarius
Venus conjunct Chiron in Capricorn
Mars conjunct Pluto in Sagittarius
Mercury conjunct Neptune in Aquarius
There are three major oppositions:
Sun oppose Moon (of course)
Mercury/Neptune oppose Jupiter
Mars/Pluto oppose Saturn
Fixed star presence:
Regulus--29 degrees Leo
Alphard-27 degrees Leo
Vega-15 degrees Capricorn
Sirus-14 degrees Cancer
Bellatrix-20 degees Gemini
Gienah-27 degrees Aquarius
I am certainly not a fixed star expert but the chart really grabs your attention when you notice that Chiron and Venus are conjunct at 14/15 degrees Capricorn, conjunct fixed star Vega and oppose Sirius. In a lecture by Alice Bailey on Labor XI she talks about Vega…
"Entrance into heaven is entrance into the Aquarian age, begun during the last two hundred years. We are told that about the year two thousand our pole star and another star (Vega) in the heavens will be in conjunction with one another and the Aquarian age will be fully with us, but only fully with us in the sense that we shall be entering it and Piscean forces will be receding rapidly. All that transpires in physical plane expression is due to subjective forces."
Mythologically Vega has to do with magic and Sirius has to do with making the mundane sacred. Astronomically Sirius is the brightest star and the center of the heavens …or the Sun's Sun. Interestingly and apropos for the times, the US Sun is conjunct Sirius.
As you are aware Saturn has been conjunct Polaris many times over the past six months and stationed on that point on several occasions highlighting the Pole Star while Uranus and the present Sun/Moon opposition is aligned with Regulus, the Heart of the Lion, one of the pointers. In the same lecture on Labor XI Alice Bailey stated…
"There are two lawgivers in the Zodiac, Regulus and Kefus. In Leo we have one of the four royal stars, Regulus the lawgiver, the law for the individual, the law of selfishness, if you like, the law of competition, the law that sets every man against his fellowman, the law that makes him grab and grasp, the law under which we live, the law of competition….Regulus, the law of the individual, has to give place to Kefus, the law of Aquarius."
Interestingly the Moon is conjunct Alphard at the base of this full moon chart. Alphard is the orange star in the neck of the Hydra, is considered the "Heart of the Hydra" and is about self-control.
Conjunctions always carry an Arian, or Ray One, quality of power, purpose and will while oppositions carry a Ray Two or relationship quality. With four major conjunctions in this chart and Taurus rising, the "first" of the fixed signs, also aligned to Ray One activities, this is a powerhouse of Ray One energy dynamics.
"The entire secret of divine purpose and planning is hidden in this sign (Taurus), owing fundamentally to the relationship of the Pleiades, to the Great Bear constellation, and to our solar system. This constitutes one of the most important triangles in our entire cosmic series of relationships and this importance is also enhanced by the fact that the "eye of the Bull" is the eye of revelation." EA (376)
The esoteric chart ruler, Vulcan, is somewhere at the midheaven of the chart conjunct the Sun/Uranus conjunction which is oppose the Moon in the fourth house. This major vertical opposition is about as close energetically as you can get to the relationship of Spirit to Matter. Given the fact that the Moon is conjunct Alphard, the heart of the Hydra, and the Sun is conjunct fixed star Gienah, which is about soaring to great heights and the Eagle, it seems we have an auspicious moment in history unfolding concerning the relationship between Divine Will, the collective will of the people, and the "little wills of men".
Underlying that we have the heart placements of Neptune/Mercury oppose Jupiter in the third and ninth house which is the voice and the heart/mind of the present times.
The Mars/Pluto conjunction in the 8th house oppose Saturn in the 2nd house indicates activities and issues around money and a battle over resources on the lower turn and spiritual warfare about higher principles and values on the higher turn.
It would seem that Love is the one decided factor underlying the times and will determine the outcome of this period. With Aries on the 12th house, a focused and directed will toward the One and unity will be a powerful behind the scenes force.
From the centre where the will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men
The purpose which the Masters know and serve
