Overnight, we shift from the Full Moon into the Disseminating phase.
Now we process the Full Moon by sharing (disseminating) what we’ve experienced. This chart, though, suggests we are participating in a much wider, deeper, cosmic process.
The Moon in Cancer is out of bounds. Emotions run high. We have feelings about family, ancestry, nations, legacies, about safety and basic needs.
The Moon forms a square-and-a-half to the Sun, which defines this phase. She is also tightly trine Saturn, which links Cancerian feelings to wider philosophical and spiritual questions, and to the limits to what we can know.
The Moon separates from an opposition to Venus and a square to the Nodes, again pointing to concerns about the future.
The late Scorpio Sun trines Neptune at the end of Pisces, opposes Uranus at the end of Taurus, and moves into a trine with Mars and a sextile to Pluto. All three outer planets connect to the Sun, our core self, at the ends of their signs.
In fact, Pluto enters Aquarius 14 hours after the start of the Disseminating phase. This is it. Pluto won’t return to Capricorn––which is fine, really, but marks the beginning of a new Plutonian era.
Mercury and Jupiter remain in opposition. Mercury and Venus remain out of bounds. We’re imagining, speculating, and exploring, without being able to see what’s ahead.
Mars is especially intense, by sign and position. In the fixed Fire of Leo, Mars is regal, passionate, creative, and ready to lead. Mars forms a tight trine to the North Node in Aries, signaling a desire and commitment to act.
Yet, Mars barely moves, preparing to station at 6º Leo on December 6. Mars will hold his trine with the North Node as the station occurs and Mars shifts into retrograde. We are definitely focused on desires and hopes for the time ahead.
The Moon–Saturn trine and Sun–Neptune trine place us in the realms of emotion, connection, and a sense of waiting for signs.
We feel change swirling around us. We can’t see its shape yet. Some changes we welcome. Some we fear. We don’t have clarity right now. One basic thing: keep breathing.
