Once in a Blue Moon?

It's a cul-de-sac. It's a slingshot. It's an energetic turning point cornering like a Tour de France pro. It's the Full "Super" Blue Moon; on the Hebrew calendar it's Tu b'Av. And it's all happening with the Sun conjunct to Retrograde Mercury in Leo.

Of course this Full Moon is the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Aquarius. In Jewish archetypal language, that's Shimon (Leo) opposite to Asher (Aquarius). It's the full spectrum of "Me" (Leo) to "We" (Aquarius) energy, lit up for the world to see.

Uranus/Oron, the modern planetary ruler of Aquarius, is making a hard square in Taurus to both Sun/Retrograde Mercury/Kochav, and the Moon. Abrupt, surprising and destabilizing (Uranus) information (Mercury) about money (Taurus), perhaps having to do with environmental matters (also Taurus) is exposed (Sun) to the public.

Venus/Noga (wealth, diplomacy, partnerships) in Mercury-ruled Virgo squares Jupiter/Tzedek (inspiration, growth, philosophy/religion, beliefs) in Gemini. Normally level-headed Virgo would cancel out punch-drunk Jupiter's schizophrenic spending sprees, but because Mercury is retrograde right now it just might do the opposite.

But wait! That's not all! Venus is also opposite Saturn/Shabbtai in Pisces, which is currently retrograde. Do two negatives equal a positive? What happens when the thing you believe that you believe in turns out to not believe in you? Plenty of folks this week will remember the lyrics of the Jefferson Airplane ....

"When the truth is found to be lies

And all the joy within you dies

Don't you want somebody to love

Don't you need somebody to love

Wouldn't you love somebody to love

You better find somebody to love ...."

To top it all off, the cherry on the celestial cake: Remember the "Great Conjunction" of Jupiter and Saturn during December 2020? Today is also the first opening square of the "Small Cycle" (20 years) conjunction, with Jupiter in Gemini square to retrograde Saturn in Pisces. This is connected with December 24 of this year, when this square is repeated with Jupiter retrograde and Saturn direct. Fun fact: December 25 is the deadline for the Electoral College to receive the certificates from each of the States, which would have been certified at the Electoral College meeting on December 17. The Moon and retrograde Mars will be in Leo at that time. Watch for the events of these coming days to repeat, refute, or rebalance themselves in some way in late December.
