The moon is, on average, 238,855 miles from Earth. The moon’s orbit around Earth is not a perfect circle, it’s an ellipse. One side of the orbit is 31,070 miles closer than the other.
In each orbit, the moon reaches this closest point to us, called perigee. Once, or twice a year, perigee coincides with a full moon, like tonight, making the moon bigger and brighter than any other full moons during the year.
The Moon symbolizes the psychosomatic foundation of the personality, our body and soul which senses, feels, and intuits. It contains our unconscious complexes, as well as our connection to the Imagination. The Moon shows us how we like to be nurtured, and how we naturally act and react in situations. The Moon in Leo opens us to our fiery creativity, our sense of personal power and our capacity to play.
Leo is the sign most concerned with what C.G. Jung called the “individuation process’. What he meant was that there is an inner instinct within each of us to find our uniqueness and our destiny. This is a spiritual archetype because the Self energizes the search to remember that we are also Spirit. Each of us is called to be a hero/ine in our own lives by trying to find out who that unique Self is. And then to express it!
The Aquarius Sun calls us to pay attention to the group mind. What’s going on in our collective consciousness right now? We are sharing in the dark despair of the Haitians as they struggle under horrendous conditions to survive. We are opening our hearts and pocketbooks, even those with few resources. Once again we find ourselves in a global moment when our collective heart is opened. Our minds and hearts are one.
So this full Moon, let’s practice using our imaginations, exercising this muscle, so that on the New Moon in Aquarius on February 13th, which occurs on the “people’s’ Moon, we can act together to visualize what the People’s Vision of the World looks like.
