‘Heaven’ (detail) from the work of Andrea Mantegna c1470 {{PD-Art}}
This is, with some modifications and parts removed, from the current ECLIPSE, which features an analysis of the Full Moon Sabians, as well:
This Full Moon (22 July 2013 11:15 AM Pacific time at 00 Aquarius 05) will be important in several ways, the most significant of which is the way it pinpoints the time when we should move to actualize those dreams and goals we’ve been mulling over the length of the Grand Water Trine and Mercury cycle. The days just before the Full Moon will act as a window when we should definitively act to make those dreams real, with the FM showing either the initial material result, or closing out one stage and ushering in the next step–but in any case, showing us the extent and condition of our progress. We can act in a way that is both highly effective and sharply focused on our goal, but there are a couple of conditions that must be met: one is that our emotions must support what we’re choosing–and if you’ve experienced any kind of digestion, illness, or assimilation issues (and I would give these a broader definition, to include social situations, as well) during the retrograde then you are almost certainly giving yourself the message that there’s something in the plan that’s literally ‘indigestible’, in other words, something you can’t (or shouldn’t, for your emotional health) live with.
Besides acknowledging any physical difficulties that may be giving us messages about our current situation, we must also do something to address the issue; this requires we do the symbolic thinking necessary, and then find ways to change circumstances so that they are acceptable. It’s very likely that the circumstances we are being ‘told’ (by our bodies) to change are things we are stubbornly insistent on keeping in our lives–I say this because otherwise the body wouldn’t have had to go so far to get our attention. Consider that what you say you want to do may not go forward unless you accept the need for change, and then make those changes. Here we must face our true intentions: if we do not modify situations as per the physical/ real world messages, we lose the chance at the dream, at least for now. How does that make you feel? Is it enough to move you forward, or are you in the process of abandoning that goal, consciously or not?
The Full Moon occurs at 00 Aquarius 05, putting us exceptionally early in the Aquarian experience; a FM at such a point suggests a kind of proto-knowledge, a liminal genius, of sorts, accompanies the experience. We are to look within for that spark of originality that encompasses the Aquarian higher mind without technically being aware of it! This may sound like quite a feat, but will actually occur naturally for each of us, likely in matters of the natal House with Aquarius perched on the cusp. This represents a kind of personal ouroboros, as we simultaneously conclude something Capricornian (so perhaps related to current Plutonian struggles, or to matters of the House with Cappy on the cusp), and embrace an inception so new it’s like a twinkle in the eye of the Universe. Due to surrounding influences, we can’t yet encode what’s happening in a thought, or put it into words; we are left with the option of going it alone, as a renegade, or gravitating to a like-vibration group, though no one there will be ready to put it into words, either.
The Full Moon is the apex of a sturdy Finger of God, with base of Venus-Pallas. All the energies in this configuration are at 00 degrees; this hints at (again) both the unconscious nature of the expression and the newness of the energies in these positions. We may find that smart occurrences surrounding Love or Money may be involved in the Full Moon realization, as may practical skills applied to earning and/ or wisdom in or from relationships. That brilliant spark results from the Venus-Pallas co-operation–and we are successful, if we do not succumb to envy, jealousy, or an attitude that is not oriented toward ‘taking care of business’ (Pallas).

A very good bit on narcissism here–and this sure is appropriate! Thanks to astrologer and astute DC observer Jude Cowell!
Julie Demboski's ASTROLOGY 
“If so, we can literally make our dreams a reality (I’ll bet you’re tired of hearing that, and wondering why everything hasn’t materialized!”
This is EXACTLY what I thinking yesterday, “why HASN’T it materialized????!!! I didn’t dwell, so without knowing you told me not to worry, I didn’t! I am a few days behind on reading…I have been planting seeds for a couple of weeks and letting them feed on the “water” and grow tiny roots in my brain, so I think I am good! Yesterday, I was totally off-kilter yesterday and I just let it go. I felt the off-kilter all day, owned it, and let myself be off-kilter. I rode my beautiful horse, played with my funny, energetic dogs, took a nap, slowly devoured my favorite magazine that arrived two weeks ago and I haven’t had the chance to enjoy uninterrupted, and ended my day with a greatly humbling movie last night and loe and behold, I woke up beautifully optimistic and content today!
I always seem to be a few days behind in my “Julie” and what I find when I am, is that I have learned so much from you, as I am validated by my feelings and actions when I “look back” and see I am on track!
I love you JD, your words, your pictures, and your stern finger keeping me grounded! Keep up the fantastic work!
Love,
Me
Thank you so much, Robyn! Your feedback is always so helpful, as it reminds me that writing my viewpoint is really just one small piece of the kaleidoscope–one small shift and things are just a bit different–and so may be hard for others to fit to their experience enough to recognize right away (or without skillful interpretation, as you provided for yourself)–and that I need to state things in as ‘universal’ a way as possible, without getting all airy-fairy on everyone. You’re very kind, Robyn, to share so much with me, but a stern finger? Oy! Couldn’t it be a gentle paper clip on the edge of your clothing, clipping you to the grass, so you can touch the earth (get grounded) whenever you want to?
I love you too!

🙂 Yes, “stern” is too strong, though I view what you say/write as coming from strength and confidence, not “stern.” Yes, I will gladly be paper clipped to grass instead!
LOL! John is always talking and pointing and it nearly pokes my eye half the time–I think that’s what I saw with the phrase “stern finger”–paper clips and grass are much nicer, and nobody loses an eye! 🙂

I have to also say, that is I read this line, I was just smacked with “rightness” of my mind…”though we may feel we aren’t seen properly–and by that I mean, at all. Feelings of invisibility won’t matter much if we can set our egos aside and just enjoy those around us, or throw ourselves into Art or commerce.”
I did not feel “unseen; however, while watching the movie “Searching for Sugarman”, I responded to a text from someone who asked what I was doing and I said I was watching this movie. He responded, “oooooo, I know the story, but haven’t watched the movie, tell me how you liked it.” So when it was over, I responded with a “review” and in my review I said something like, we all want to be seen, just be seen for who we really, truly are, and it so rarely happens and the main character was being seen by hundreds of thousands of people and didn’t even know it. The beautiful gift is that in his lifetime, while he was still alive, he got to know he was being seen. This is a beautiful man inside, as he walked his own humble path, in spite of not knowing he was being seen.
I realize I am not being very articulate here, but if you watch the movie, you will understand. Reading Julie’s words today made me realize – again- I am not off-base with my thoughts and since I have nothing but utter respect for your work, Julie, it makes me smile that I get it right sometimes!
Love,
Me – again!
And what sounds like a very timely and appropriate movie recommendation–perfect for the times.
Thanks so much for everything, Robyn!

Thanks so much for the link(s). Oddly, it is precisely in understanding the creation and evolution dynamics of a particular narcissist that one loses one’s way, I think. Most of us being raised to ‘be nice’, and, indeed, in these new-agey times, to not judge but to have compassion and so on.
Years ago I found a most helpful piece at throughnightsfire about Saturn Rx which added another piece to the puzzle.
I do not have it to hand, but recall a few lines from an Arabic poet to the effect that, ‘You are given one palm tree, bear it a basin of pure water.’ Possibly the best we can do for ourselves and one another.
You’re welcome. I do agree, our social ‘training’ can cause our psyches serious injury, easily to the point we no longer value ourselves and our needs–or conversely, where we are so desperate to correct that we go too far the other way and become callous in the name of wholeness. I hope we are all able to nourish our tree with pure water.
