Full Moon Eclipse in Aquarius: Your Future is Calling

Tomorrow, we have a Full Moon in the fixed air sign of Aquarius. Aquarius the Water Bearer is the sign of the future, of ideals, of humanity. It is buzzy, electric, visionary energy. Aquarius does not wait for the rest of the world to catch up; she blazes forward, trusting what she sees in entirety. A heralding voice of progress, the responsibility of Aquarius is to tell the rest of us what is coming down the pike. Even if it seems irrational, odd, strange, or whacko, the news is important, and if we pay attention to Aquarius’ original drumbeat, we will dance into the future with graceful aplomb.

This week’s Full Moon is indeed a Lunar Eclipse, which always makes me feel two things at once: 1. Nervous and 2. Excited. I get nervous because full moon eclipses have a huge buildup and often remove things from our lives, out of nowhere. Big surprise! The cosmos decides! Someone or something is not needed in our lives anymore and – whoop, there it went – that element is swooped away. I get excited because of the profound switch-up occurring on the cosmic chessboard. Like a Bishop traversing the diagonal or a Knight hopping and stealing a piece, an eclipse is like the hand of the Goddess, coming down and saying “All change!”

The game, after an eclipse, will look entirely different in some significant way. Sometimes, it feels like a wipe-out. But we must admit it’s the Universe’s way of keeping things very interesting. If we look close enough, we see that we are not individually responsible, we are not separate. There is an amalgamation of an infinite number of causes and effects – past, present, and future – that have conspired to this one pinpoint in time to make this event or change occur. Therefore, no need for guilt or shame or misplaced pride. In the midst of the events of an eclipse, we watch, we experience, we act, we react. Like a movie.

 
This Uranus-ruled eclipse could come through like a forest fire, a flash flood, a meteor shower. Any concept, idea, person or thing that is holding us back from shining our light will be plucked away.

Future Star Child

This lunar eclipse is a beautiful cosmic configuration with Aquarian air and Leo solar fire converging, creating simultaneous action and inspiration. It is mentally energizing and hyper-invigorating, to the point that it can feel overly stimulating, wildly intense. Aquarius – the future star child – reminds us to heed the soul’s calling. Events occur, seemingly from the outside, that appear to happen to you yet are simply necessary; this is a calling to ‘come home’ to your spirit.

The Aquarius part of your birth chart, or even having an Aquarius in your life, is a beacon, a way to tap into your inner integrity again and again. Represented by The Star card in the Tarot, the Water Bearer replenishes our visions and reminds us of our deepest universal callings. Aquarius reminds us we are made of stars. Twinkle, twinkle beautiful one! It is important to be on good terms with your spirit!

If you have the luxury of reading this forecast, you have the wherewithal, the resources, to free yourself, in a collaborate fashion, from the ties that trap, bind, smother, squelch that spirit. In fact, Aquarius says, you have a responsibility on a relative level to do so. In the absolute plane of Existence, it doesn’t matter what you do or where you go. But on the relative plane, your soul will shake, rattle and roll you over until you fess up, own up to your own sacred power and authority, and express your true calling.

If the eclipse comes through like a tornado, or a bolt of lightning, behold the truth! Clarity and calm lie in the “I” of the storm of your own inner knowing. How will you know what to “do” when or if the rug gets pulled out from under you? Drop in deeper; inner listening is vital. You may have to batten down the hatches to listen more closely. Even in the midst of sparkling summer sunshine, you may have to draw the blinds and hide for a day or three to HEAR your spirit. 

What is that thump, thump, thump…? It is the beat of your own heart drum. What is that raging roar? It is the ocean of Existence, the wave of your soul pounding the surf, waking you up again and again to your True Nature.

Be raw, courageous, hold onto nothing. Not even your own past or future identity. If you step forward into the siren’s call of your soul, you will reclaim your voice. Feel that? That's the soul going for it, pushing you into the future, your purpose.

Trust, and walk through the stargate. Behold the portal of this full moon Aquarian eclipse. Your future is calling.
