Happy Full Moon in Aquarius

 AstroMatrix gives us this reading for the Full Moon in Aquarius. The New Moon in Aquarius happened on 11 February this year. What intentions did you send back then? They may be coming into fruition at this time.

This Full Moon reveals where we belong and which group is best suited us. This is a good time to release causes, communities, and dreams that no longer serve us or don't feel aligned to us anymore. In the light of the Full Moon, we can see what has and has not worked. We can wipe the slate clean.

This is the perfect time to claim our own inner authority, to listen to our inner teacher and innate wisdom. We can find within ourselves a strong resistance to authority.

With the Sun in Leo wanting to take center-stage, and the Full Moon in Aquarius wanting to collaborate and cooperate with a team, there is a need for balance in both tensions.

Here is a five-card Full Moon in Aquarius spread.

How can I balance my needs and those of others? Princess of Disks, reversed.

Drawing this card in reversed clearly shows there is an imbalance in this area, and it needs some work. With the image reversed, the gem the Princess is holding is closer to the reader, while the womb wherein a new life is manifesting is pointing away.

The lesson here for me is to take things one at a time. I cannot attend to my own needs at the same time I am attending to the needs of others. I must instead know which is a better use of my time, which is more urgent in the Now: my needs or others'?

This can be expressed even simply as meditating in the morning (attending to my own needs) instead of reaching out to my phone and checking notifications and seeing who has messaged me and who needs my response. If I succumb to the temptation to be the hero for others very early in the morning, then that throws my day out of whack and myself out of center.

How can I overcome limiting thoughts? Princess of Cups.

Our second Princess in today's reading is the Princess of Cups, or Earth of Water. She is joyful, at home in the dreamy world of emotions and feelings. Limiting thoughts may feel concrete, debilitating, and all too real. But they are not. They are just that: beliefs. Humans once believed the world was flat—until Science taught us what is true.

We can mistakenly believe in restrictions and limitations, though they are just illusions of the mind.

This Princess asks me to be at home with my emotion, and to swim free in Dreamland, crystallizing dreams into a concrete book, stories fantasized into the written word. I must accept the truth of my own freedom and liberation, and the joy I have in it.

How do I balance collaboration and independence? The Tower, reversed.

With the Tower reversed, I am called to be more honest with myself. What is breaking down? Why am I unable to allow it? Why do I resist change?

I may have old ideas and definitions of what is collaboration and what is independence. These old definitions, possibly handed down to me, don't work anymore. I need to examine what is true collaboration, what is true independence, and what they mean to me. I may also soon find out that collaboration and independence can not only work side-by-side, but also within the same space. They might even be the same image on a mirror, gazing into each other's eyes.

Right now, our nation is divided politically between the pro-government DDS, which supports Duterte's populist strongman tactics which serve China's interests, and those who dissent. I am one of the dissenters. We can't wait for elections next year, so we can have a chance for a better government. There may be a strong need for cooperation among dissenters to bring down Duterte's dictatorship. And cooperation can be as uncomplicated as individual knees bowed down in prayer for the Philippines.

What groups or ideals no longer serve me? Queen of Swords.

The Queen of Swords is the queen of cool, of level-headed thinking, of sticking to facts, and sound analysis. She is logic personified. Education. Erudition.

At an extreme, she can remain solely academic, and hence, uninvolved. This elitist intellectualism is possibly what the card is pointing to me as what no longer serves me.

I must move from the realm of intellectual debates and discussion, into one of action, creativity, warmth, and heart. It's time for application of what I know, for learning by doing. It is doing away with cool intellectualism, and more pursuing an interest with passion and curiosity.

What fears of the future do I need to release? The Truth.

Interesting that this card comes out as the fear I need to release. I need to release the fear of learning the Truth, and speaking the Truth. This means coming out, no secrets, no facades, no masks, no veneers. This means fearless honesty and encounter with the Truth: of my weaknesses, needs, limitations, areas I need help, as well as my strengths, gifts, and powers.

The Truth is here. The Truth is Now, in this moment. By holding on to delusions, I only increase my fear of the Truth coming out or revealing Itself. By coming clean and working on a clear Consciousness and a clean Heart, then I can have no fear of the Truth. I may find myself embracing and celebrating the Truth, and the liberation it brings.
