The Full Moon in Aries on 24 September sparked a new awareness of our individual and collective consciousness, and generated new cycles between many planetary archetypes. No matter where we are located in the world, since then we have experienced a heightened demonstration of publicly expressed emotion. This emotional surge has touched us to the core. While resolution may not have occurred yet, it is coming, in ways and at times that we cannot imagine. The core issues have been uncovered. Chiron is back at 29 Pisces, so we have the opportunity to comprehensively address any deeply embedded issues at their source, permitting the experience of a real “wholing” that is fully integrated into our spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical etheric bodies. This is the chance of the lifetime. It is not comfortable, and there is no wishing ourselves back.
The New Moon in Virgo two weeks ago provided the means through which we could experience our full Selves through our spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical etheric bodies. Since then we have had the opportunity to check in with each of the four parts that comprise our Being to gain perspective on any imbalances we may have discovered as we traveled through the wormhole. Stephanie Azaria refers to this process as a de-fragging process, as if we were cleaning out the files on an electronic disc to bring greater efficiency and ensure that the useable files we need can be much more easily located. This has characterized the new phase that has taken us to this Full Moon in Aries.
Welcome to the Virgo New Moon and the close of the wormhole. We have traversed uncharted territory since the Pisces Full Moon two weeks ago widened our vision—both inner and outer—and provided the experience of living with an expanded vista. Things that seemed shrouded in mystery or secrecy suddenly were revealed, and we learned that they had been hiding in plain sight all along. Now that we see these formerly shadowed places, we can appreciate the role they played in our growth by providing us with a new capacity for discernment. Looking back, the Gemini New Moon on 13 June kicked off this process of discovering what discernment means, and how it contributes to self-awareness. We learned what it meant through the experience of Love.
Here at the end of the wormhole we find we are more awake than we ever dreamed we would be, and lo-and behold, it seems to have landed in all the right places. This unprecedented knowledge conveys the message that everything that happens in our lives forms a crucial part of our experience. Denying an emotional response or discounting an idea that appears foreign creates a shadow place for that feeling or thought to dwell in, unclaimed. When we ignore them, they grow out of proportion and hidden from view, until we offer up the simple recognition they deserve. Then we can release these shadow thoughts and feelings and they flow away. Our task is to embrace all our feelings and use our emotional intelligence to discern what best serves our Selves and all those around us through the five human values of truth, right action, peace, love, and non-violence.
This is the last Full Moon of this life-changing wormhole passage. During the New Moon partial solar eclipse of 11 August at 19 Leo, our consciousness was rebooted and a new cycle began, one that closes on 9 September when the wormhole closes. The solar eclipse presented a sideways elevator that transported us to a new beginning within our emotional bodies. Whatever was going on at that time feels different now. Try remembering what was going on at the beginning of the wormhole on 13 June. It seems like an eon ago, however, it has only been just about 2.5 months. The passage of time feels a bit distorted—this is part of the wormhole experience and it is a healthy one, because it helps us break up patterns. We need this to enter the Full Moon because Pisces represents the widest most expansive vision we can hold.
