Energetics: Aquarius is an air sign ruled by the planet Uranus. Its visionary, revolutionary, innovative, original, calling for radical change, individuation and freethinking. Its a sign that rules the attitude "why not?" and makes visions and dreams possible.
This Aquarian New Moon hits my 11th House:
The Eleventh House is commonly referred to as the House of Friends.
Through our friends, we find strength in numbers -- we see the power of
the collective, the group. Groups addressed by this House include
clubs, organizations, social groups, networking organizations and
professional associations. The focus here is on the activities we
undertake within these groups, how we make a difference and as a
result, how we grow and actualize our true selves. Further, it's the
group, by virtue of its collective strength, which helps to define what
we as individuals will do.
As we grow, we have more opportunities and
possibilities available to us, and the Eleventh House addresses these.
Our interactions and efforts are in keeping with our priorities in
life; these interactions have the ability to enhance our lives. A labor
of love? Yes, in many ways. Through our friends and group activities we
add substance and meaning to our lives and to society.
The Eleventh House also speaks to destiny -- in simple
terms, our hopes and dreams, what we desire and what we want to
achieve. Our creative vision is highlighted, the simple act of working
toward our maximal selves. The power of collective creation, as well as
the creative sparks generated by the group, are also important to this
House. By banding together, we can create so much more.
In joining with our friends, we not only accomplish a
great deal, but we can also enjoy the fruits of our labor. The Eleventh
House also addresses the kind of friend we are: what do we do for
others? How do we view our friends? How do they view us? It is our
basic character which, to a great extent, defines the friends and
groups we choose.
Oftentimes, we work with our friends toward a greater
good and in the hope of improving society. This is our philanthropic
side coming to the fore, the ability to selflessly and eagerly help
others. It is also our humanity manifesting itself most effectively. At
times, we may upset the proverbial apple cart, but the sum total of our
efforts should be to look at the end result. If that's good, then the
process of getting there, for better or for worse, is worthwhile.
Lastly, the Eleventh House also governs stepchildren, foster children
and adopted children. (from www.astrology.com)
LunarMusings:
There is a lot stirring around me with regards to my art. Interest in my journals and opportunities to sell them in other places have come up through friends and acquaintences. I have also been approached to participate in a collaborative project creating inspiration cards for pregnant women and mothers. This also has come to me through a friend. I'll be honest, I'm a bit detached about it all. Its as if this movement sits under a veil for me and although I see the opportunities and the doors that are opening and want to open, there is a bit of a haze between me and them.
And so the Moon... Reading all this, and sitting in silence with my world swirling all around me, served me well this morning. More then anything the lesson for me is to say yes. Yes to the opportunities that are coming my way. Yes to the beauty of those opportunities coming through friends. The haze I feel, the detachment, is my fear I think. Its this general state of anesthetization that keeps me from being to invested, and therefore feeling like I won't lose or be disappointed if it doesn't work out.
Lunar Intentions:
Not only am I going to say Yes! to the doors opening before me, but I am also going to allow my internal joy and excitement to exist fully, both within me and outside of me in the form of my languaging, my affect, and my energy. I am going to fully embrace the excitement that is coming with getting to be bigger and reach farther with my work.
It is so.
