Full Moon-Dec. 3rd, 2017 Washington, D.C.

I did the full moon chart for Washington, D.C. This chart is a different energy than the New Moon chart that had an emphasis on Scorpio, planet of  dark, hidden  secrets. In this chart the Sun is in Sagittarius which has an open, expansive, adventuresome energy and with the Moon opposing it in Gemini, the sign associated with Communication, there is going to be a lot more secrets coming out into the open and more people being willing to go against the status quo as the ascendant is in rebellious Aquarius. Also, Mercury, the planet ruling communication, is just going retrograde which is backward in his orbit as seen from the earth. It also is nestling next to Saturn, the planetary grim reaper. I interpret this as indicating that many secrets are coming out with a bang and there will be a price to may for any illegal activities that have been undetected up to now. Donald Trump was born on a full moon between Gemini and Sagittarius but it was in reverse with the Sun in Gemini and the Moon in Sagittarius. He is definitely an uncensored communicator much to the chagrin of many. At this time there will be a lot of tweets defending himself which is no surprise to anyone and it will get particularly intense in early January when Mercury is direct again and passing over his Moon. Mercury goes direct on Dec. 23^rd at 13 degrees of Sagittarius, very close to the Sun on this chart which is 11 degrees and it’s in the 10^th house which relates to the public. Another noteworthy aspect on this Full Moon chart is the opposition between Mars the Planet of assertion and aggression in the sign of Libra which symbolizes relationship and diplomacy but he is opposing the Planet Uranus which is associated with unexpected events. As Isabel Hickey stated in her book “Astrology, A Cosmic Science,” ‘Uranus is the lightening bolt of change in the hand of destiny’ so there will probably be a lot of efforts at diplomacy with North Korea but both these planets form a square aspect with Pluto on the chart of the United States founding(July4,1776)where Pluto is 27 degrees of Capricorn and since Pluto is associated with Plutonian and the development of the Atomic bomb, the threat from North Korea will be of grave concern and a lot of energy will go into these diplomatic efforts hopefully resulting in some positive outcome.

On a personal level this is a good time to do any writing or teaching projects that you may have postponed or to take a trip. This is particularly relevant for those born under the signs of Sagittarius or Gemini or have the Moon located in one of those signs. It is time for coming out of the closet and letting your light shine forth. There could be new insights emerging from the unconscious (trine between Uranus planet of insights and mercury planet of communication) and ideas to help in any group project if you’re willing to put the effort and discipline that is required since Saturn associated with discipline and structure is conjunct Mercury and falls into the 11^th house on this chart which is associated with groups. It’s also a good time for connecting with one’s spirituality and compassion and sharing it with others because of the trine aspect between Neptune in Pisces and Jupiter in Scorpio in the 9^th house of teaching. Just remember to stay balanced and think before reacting.
