I caught the almost full moon rising this past Friday. It is a full moon in Gemini with the sun in Sagittarius. Gemini is an air sign, Sagittarius is fire. Air relates to ideas and intellect, Fire is energy, action. This should be a great time for getting things accomplished like communicating, or – as one of my sources says over and over again – learning new internet skills.
I have been following the signs, and especially their elements, for a year and a half now. It didn’t take long to discover that because of the way the elements are assigned, there are only two full moon/sun combinations. It’s either air and fire or earth and water. Earth connects to all things physical, water to matters of feeling. The moon is never full in a water sign, for instance, when the sun is in an air sign.
I’m beginning to find this structure a problem. Why can’t we have a powerful water and air combination? Would that mean storms, wind and rain? Perhaps, but it would also mean that the intellect and feelings would be strong together – in other words, a combination of head and heart.
And why not air and earth? This could be an appropriate time to apply our heightened thinking skills to the very down-to-earth problems of homelessness and hunger. My sources suggest that the compassion of an earth/water combination should lead to this. It hasn’t happened so far. I guess we’ll have to solve these critical problems without the aid of the stars.
