AQUARIUS -- The Full Moon of Enlivened Community

Where are my kindred spirits… and who are these aliens surrounding me? The next two weeks are the perfect time to turn inward and focus on this question with the Full Moon in Aquarius and an introduction to the Hand Analysis Skill Set of Family and Community.

AQUARIUS -- The Full Moon of Enlivened Community
Tuesday, January 22, 2008, 5:35 am PST


============================================

There are some weeks in Heidi's astrology practice that simply resound with a theme. Recently, Heidi saw six clients in a row that all had strong Aquarius in their charts. (That is, their sun, moon or rising sign was in Aquarius). Though the clients' issues were varied, one note consistently sounded: "I feel like a lone wolf. Where is my group?"

Aquarius is the sign of friendship, brotherhood and community. At certain times, it is the most gregarious of all signs. But the question you must ask during this month in Aquarius is: "Have I truly found my good company?"

When you are in good company, you feel you are in the presence of your peers. You feel seen. You feel heard. And, you are happy to fully see and hear others. You are inspired to share your best self and move toward what you most deeply believe.

You are not in good company when your inner monologue goes something like: "Why isn't anyone as smart, politically aware, sensitive or unique as I am?" You are not in good company when you are socializing just to be with someone besides yourself. And, most importantly, you are not in good company when you feel you have to hide your gifts or feelings so you can "blend in."

Luckily, in Hand Analysis, there is a skill set that speaks specifically to the lone wolf. This skill set is called Family and Community. We define the lone wolf experience as circling around family and community at a close distance, but not fully participating. The skill to learn is to show up as your full self within the context of family and community.

Easier said than done. It's a skill. All skills can be learned.

Try this:
Take an inventory of all of the aspects of your life: romance, career, home, how you spend your free time…

Over the next two weeks just take notice yourself around your family. Notice -- what are you willing to share about yourself and what do you keep close to the vest? Notice -- especially -- when you are having a feeling or experience -- and notice how often you express it, or choose to keep a lid on it. Just notice.

The Full Moon is the time for introspection. No need to alter your behavior. We'll jump into action in our next LUNAPHASES with the New Moon in Aquarius. Aquarius is the month when all lone wolves must find their true "pack."

This time will be particularly potent for people with markings on, or physical challenges with their Left Thumb. Google is a good source on this aspect of Hand Analysis. If you would like for Lynn to take a gander at your paws, contact her at www.YourLifeIsInYourHands.com.

We are moving into the Aquarian age during which we will be uniting in groups to better the world. During the Aquarius Full Moon, you ask yourself where -- and in what company -- you can best share your gifts. You can silently affirm that you are not alone in the world you envision.

From an Astrological perspective, the phrase for Aquarius is: "Water of Life am I poured forth for thirsty men." The water is your gift that needs to be distributed. Everyone has something to offer. And as you offer it, your good company will come and stand by your side. Pour forth.
