If you notice you’re growing a little extra hair on the back of your hands and that you’re walking on the balls of your feet, don’t worry; it’s just the full Moon effect on July 12. We’re under the Moon’s spell at all times for the Moon rules over our emotions, mind and feelings. The Moon also has rulership over our family connections and all other emotionally based relationships. As we know, we experience a dozen or more full Moons every year and most of them are not that much of a big deal, but life does become more exciting and our emotions do become heightened especially if the full Moon lands on any sensitive points in our personal horoscopes.
If a full Moon lands near your Mars, you can bank on experiencing some type of heightened activity and it does not have to be negative, by any means. On the other hand, if you have been experiencing a lot of tension and repressed anger in a particular area of your life, the lid will likely blow off the pot around full Moon time. It is important to give a five-day timeline with the full Moon energy – two days before the full Moon and two days after it. If Mars, Saturn, Uranus or Pluto accompany the full Moon, again, you might very well anticipate some type of intensification of life’s activities in which you go through a range of emotional challenges and changes.
Mars has figured significantly over the last several months with his long retrograde cycle in Libra, the sign of relationships. Since last fall, we have certainly had our full share of incidents, fires, accidents, wars and other forms of terrorism to dine on. Mars is very associated with anger and lust and it has driven many people over the edge as witnessed by the daily reports about people who have fallen into the deadly traps of lust, anger, greed and ego. Mars still has his hand in the cosmic pie and we are destined to hear all about it as July unfolds her mysteries and misadventures.
The only real way to stave off the intense and fiery Mars energies is to stay safe, play safe and strive to be a good, caring, humane being. If you live by the sword, you die by the sword. Mars is associated with the new Moon on July 26 and the full Moon on July 12. Lay off the gas pedal and be kind to all of God’s creatures.
