Full Moon of Horses



Full Moon of Horses

By Tara Sutphen

Full Moon of Horses at 24* Sagittarius will culminate June 15, 2011 1:13pm pdt/4:13pm edt (almanac) with a Total Eclipse. This Full Moon called by its Celtic name – “Moon of Horses” is an opportunity to evaluate how you handle your emotions and the extremes you find yourself at times. With the moon comes a most powerful time of the earth’s seas being moved by the gravitational pull of the earth and with a total eclipse, you may be feeling even more restless or sensitive. Usually aspects take you off of your demonstrative nature. But not this full moon, it’s set in the fixed star Aculeus, thus setting the aspect in the Scorpion’s tail. The unrest may be drumming up unfinished business in the most peaceful of people. Where do things go amiss and where do things go correctly. Decisions, have they been right or wrong. Are you using your personal power or mismanaging it. Do you even express what you deem influence and potential. Are you capable of so much more and unable to crest your energy to activate skill and talent. You can’t have talent unless you make the effort to risk and try.

Everyone has a rage level, we were born with it and must learn to manage it. Although for some reason many people don’t handle anger correctly at the time and a morass of confusion precipitates. Inferiority, resentment, irritation can go on for some time before we are willing to look at what doesn’t create an environment to thrive. Are you assertive and confident or having aggressive tendencies. Aggression is when you find your-self yelling at others aimlessly, becoming insistent, and uncompromising and with passive behavior locked emotionally away in an imprisoned set of rules and agony. How can we use defeat to further ourselves as we bumbe ahead, clumsily allowing our lives to be perplexed and sometimes it’s hurtful, if not slowly or unwittingly destroying ours or others lives. Where does insight begin, and does it make or break us.

A first thought would be to start making ourselves strong in body. When we feel good, generally we are confident. We have the wit to say yes and no to good or bad. As we regain a course of action, focus on a target and add intensity, these can be used as a tool toward a direction. Sounds easy, putting it into action is always the test…as we can dream and talk, talk and talk more. We can make a conscious decision to use an upset as a ‘road sign’ to move in another direction, this can give movement to actions and reactions, bringing greater circumstances into a personal sphere. You take the high road or low road…it’s that simple.

Deliberation is the banal of focus and to create a life of vivid beauty we must put up with some degree of disdain and unruliness. This does not bode well for all who seek peace and gentleness, but even in nature there must be a yin to the yang. To become one with ourselves we must accept all the facets of our innate fear and shadows, for to cast light on them will bring us out of darkness.

“The only justice is to follow the sincere intuition of the soul, angry or gentle. Anger is just, and pity is just, but judgment is never just.” ~D.H. Lawrence quotes (British Poet, Novelist and Essayist, 1885-1930)
