Full Moon in Aries
Saturn’s three year journey through Capricorn is nearing its end.
He has patiently and persistently revealed to us
The places where our soul’s expression has been dimmed and battered
Where life impressed itself harshly against our fledgling innocence
Where our bodies absorbed the force of injustice
And tucked it quietly away.
We have been shown where we’ve been left
Among the confusion;
With the lonely and sacred responsibility of making sense of it all.
But we’ve also been shown the grace of renewal;
How the truth of ourselves is strengthened
When we build a scaffolding of renewed beliefs
and sacred boundaries
To support its re-emergence.
Eris lends her rage and conviction to this lunation
The voice of the uninvited feminine urges forth the parts of ourselves that have been shunned, invalidated and cast-out;
The parts that have lingered obediently in the shadows
Goddess of discord,
She illuminates incongruences in the dominant narrative;
And where we’ve traded our own truth,
For a seat at the table
Asteroid Lilith graces us with a trine between Mars and Venus,
Bringing her unbreakable sovereignty into the space between,
so that we may honour the voice of the Other
Alongside our own.
She reminds us that when we have the courage to confront our own truth and falsehoods,
We find belonging in our own wilderness
And we discover the creative wellspring
That springs forth from her depths.
