Today, July 12, 2014 at 7:24am EDT is the Full Moon with Sun in Cancer and Moon in Capricorn (20�03' of each sign). This particular Full Moon is a kick-off event of sorts as it is a SUPERMOON and is the first of 3, occurring over the next few months.
Says 'Science at NASA' (see video here: http://ow.ly/z4roV) "The Summer of 2014 will be bathed in moonlight as three perigee supermoons occur in consecutive months: July 12, August 10 and September 9." Perigee simply means that the Moon is closest to Earth compared to other lunations.
Why the moniker 'Super'? Due to the change in distance between the moon's farthest and closest points, the full moon can appear as much as 14% larger in the sky and 30% brighter to our eyes than at minimum size and brightness.
Optical illusion or not, it is a psychological phenomenon that affects our lizard brain - the ancient part of us hooked into the primal tides of this planet. Our blood and the 77% water that is our fleshy body. The surge of primordial sea that swallows us once again, into a mother's womb.
Go outside and gaze into the Moon. It is an ancient body that some say was a former earth-like entity, but now is our emotional reflector. THE TIDE IS HIGH. You may cry. Don't worry, it will pass by. And you will feel cleansed.
Now, the August 10th Full Moon will be the Super-est of them all: the July 12 and September 9 Full Moons will occur on the DAY of Perigee, which is cool enough; but the August 10 Full Moon will occur at the same HOUR of Perigee. August 10 will be a powerful day. We begin building the Lighted House now which occupy further then.
Then, after the 3MoonSuperMoon series - on October 8 the 2nd of 4 Total Lunar Eclipses (a Tetrad series) will occur. The Supermoons are prepping us for that tidal surge by building up the tidal surge of our buoyancy. Series of 3, Series of 4. Lunations. Eclipses. 2nd in a Tetrad. Patterns emerge.
In April we experienced The Cardinal Cross within an mind-boggling Eclipse Portal, beginning the Total Lunar Tetrad. Between that time and the June Solstice (June 21, 2014) we were integrating, constantly, and dealing with oodles of retrograde influences among the most personal planet - Venus, Mars and Mercury - see my previous newsletter here concerning this: http://ow.ly/z4rBk
Now, we launch into a supralunaarrrrocket that will catapult us into the October Total Lunar Tetrad event. We will have a breather in November, to integrate. Then in December: the 6th of 7 Uranus Pluto Squares will occur. This is the 3rd Eye Chakra. Our vision will be more illuminated than at any time on this journey which for many of us began on August 16-17, 1987, with all jumping on the heat-seeking enlightenment missile at various times. We are lighting up the world.
An extra-close new or full moon causes higher-than-usual tides. At those times, EarthSky writes, "our planet is stretched slightly, along a line between the Earth and moon. The body of the Earth is fairly rigid, so it does not stretch much, but the oceans are much more easily moved. Thus the effect piles up water on both side of Earth, and these piles of water - created by the differential gravitational effect - are the tides." http://earthsky.org/tonight/july-12-supermoon-first-of-three-superrmoons
The tidal pull yanks on our core. And, as if by magic (and to continue a theme), PLUTO rises with tomorrow's Big Full Moon Supra Moon. Pluto shows up to remind us that our Shadow Side will be more fully illuminated in one years' time than it has been in all of recorded history. Because as we look in the direction of the Moon tomorrow, we are looking toward an unfolding historic journey - the New Horizons spacecraft is on its way to ACTUALLY MEET Pluto.
For the first time ever humanity will directly and intimately experience Pluto. Pictures, love-notes, measurements. What are HER Moons like? What is her surface REALLY like? How icy, how unforgiving, how small, how embracing, how big, and how astounding is she. The E.T.A. of our first date with Pluto is scheduled for one year from now, in July 2015.

So, Pluto points us on. The tides raise several feet. The Moon looms large. We are haunted by phantoms of our hidden past, carried away on emotional currents and watery waves of bliss or anxiety; we celebrate, dance, sing and drink up the lit sky. We are strrrretched like the earth, piled up like the sea, opened for all to see. The 3 Moon Ocean effect swirls around us and we let go, dancing in the moonlight and experiencing Super-natural delight. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Namaste _/|\_
