As I have noted previously, tonight”s full moon marks the the culmination of the Moon’s closest passage with our blue planet. Beginning in February, this lunar close encounter, known as the Super Moon, has exerted its influence on matters involving the planet, human events, emotions, the weather and our own emotions. While conventional science may wish to discount the impact of this astronomical/astrolgoical event, the evidence streches the concept of “mere coincidence” to the breaking point and beyond.

The violent weather throughout the southern United States on the eve of the full moon , including an unprecedented 90 reported tornado sightings in North Carolina, is just the latest example of the impact that the moon’s passage can and does have’ something that even conventional science has acknowledged through studies of tidal shifts and wind. Coupled with the ongoing crisis in Japan, the continuing unrest in North Africa, the Ivory Coast, and now Nigeria, and our own emotionally charged debate over our economic and budget crisis, the coming of this full moon-the third of three full Super Moons-serves notice that the curtain on this act of the human drama is just now rising.

Astrologers, like those here at Psychic Cosmos, have been watching the unfolding of this year fully aware of the potential impact that could be facing everyone. In addition to the lunar energies already in play, there is the ongoing Mercury Retrograde which has definitely scrambled comprehension of the meanings of many important messages, disrupted others (have you noticed how your internet and or cell phone seems to be acting a bit “odd” in the last two weeks or so?) and added an air of uncertainty over even day to day decisions. In addition to the Mercury Retro and Super Moon effects, both Mars and Saturn are going to contribute to the instability which seems to be increasing daily.

Today, Mars opposed Saturn-so the agressiveness and impulsiveness of the red planet now conflicts the Great Leveler-as Saturn is known. This could well result in additional conflicts in the world arena that could further undermine the existing regimes without any clear replacement. Tomorrow, Mercury and Mars conjoin. The impact of this aspect cannot be overstated; chaotic communications leading to impulsive actions that could result in an unexpected upheaval. Not everything is as it seems and with our emotions tossed on the tides of Luna, doors that should not be opened could lead to results that are far more devastating than first thought. Politics and scandal may be in the offing in the next fortnight.

Lastly, the Dark Lord-Pluto-will continue to exert the energies of transformation through destruction. A violent storm within the next two weeks is not out of the question and atomic issues-perhaps well beyond the Land of the Rising Sun-may make us all pause and reassess what truly matters.

The curtain rises and the players take the stage-knowing that these celestial energies are in play can help us take stock of events that unfold to understand our place in them. Illuminated by the light of a Super Moon, we can use this knowledge choose to flow with the tides rather than be swept away by them.
