Supermoons, Asteroids, and Cards

Full Moon in Pisces (Final Supermoon) - Monday, September 8th, 2014 at 6:38 PM

This will be the third and last consecutive supermoon in 2014, so I am anticipating a culmination of the preceding lunar energy. In addition, the Full Moon will reside in the sign of Pisces, which is the final sign of the zodiac. The theme will be completion. A lot of energetic work has been done during the past three months, and, for some, the work was challenging and painful at times. My hope is the moon will herald a time of calming winds and allow us to follow our path with fewer obstacles. If you have spent time evaluating your life's current path and have made choices that are in alignment with your deepest values, then you will likely notice a greater change in how your life will unfold during the next month. 

On Sunday, September 7th, 2014 at about 11:18 AM PST, the asteroid 2014 RC was about 25,000 miles away from Earth before continuing onward into space. The asteroid was reportedly about the size of a house, and the distance was great enough that no interference with satellites occurred. The asteroid was classified as "Apollo class" because it spent the majority of its time outside of Earth's orbit (unlike "Aten class," which spends most of its time within Earth's orbit). 

The energetic effects of asteroids are a newer concept in astrology. There are asteroids in the outer solar system that are said to have an effect on the denizens of our planet, but they are located at a astronomical (please forgive the pun) distance away from Earth.  For example, Chiron's orbit can get as close as 8.5 AUs to the sun, or about 7.5 AUs to the Earth. The conversion to miles would be about 697,168,554.75 miles from Chiron to the Earth, which is a bit further than asteroid 2014 RC's distance to Earth of 25,000 miles. 

Therefore, if asteroids have an energetic effect on our energy fields, then I would assume the closer the asteroid, the more intense the influence. Of course, Chiron's mass is definitely larger than 2014 RC's mass, but Chiron is also significantly further away. However, let's assume the asteroid has some sort of impact. 

The appearance of comets are often viewed as harbingers of something to come, and asteroids could be viewed the same way. The timing of the asteroid beautifully coincides with the upcoming final Supermoon tonight. If we think of asteroids as agents of transformation, then perhaps the asteroid is signaling completion of all the hard work we have been doing in our lives. Now is a time of integration of the energies within us, so do not feel guilty if you are inclined to take a break and rest. Head the wisdom of Pisces by allowing the changes within you affect the world outside of you. 

I wanted to add another aspect to the astrological elements of this blog by using Tarot to help distill the important information. This week, I drew the Ace of Stones/Pentacles when asking about how we can best utilize this final Supermoon. 

The card's theme is Abundance. Traditionally, the abundance has to do with money and wealth. However, your abundance can be physical, mental, emotional, and/or spiritual. Look at the card and see what jumps out at you with your intuitive sense, and use that information to help guide your intentions tonight.  

Concise Considerations

1. This full moon is about allowing change to flow without forcing or controlling. Focus on what you want like you would hold a figurine made of glass. Be what you want, and then you can get what you want. 
2. Intentions focused on rest, rejuvenation, or vacations will be strengthened. 
3. Intentions focused on spiritual goals will be strengthened. 
4. Clearing out old and/or unnecessary objects in your life will be beneficial. 
5. Connect with inner abundance to manifest outer abundance.
