2010 Cancer Full Moon: Cardinal Cross

At this Can­cer full moon, there is a very strong Car­di­nal Cross. The Car­di­nal Cross is the cross of Spirit. At the top point of this cross we find Uranus and Jupiter in early degrees of the car­di­nal sign Aries. Aries is the sign of a new begin­ning. Uranus is the Hier­ar­chi­cal ruler of Aries and it con­nects with one of the stars of the Great Bear. This brings in a shift to a higher level of pur­pose on the planet and an oppor­tu­nity for more of human­ity to go through the process of spir­i­tual regen­er­a­tion, lead­ing toward initiation.

Jupiter brings expan­sion of that pur­pose. The two together indi­cate that those on the path can more read­ily orga­nize the energy of light and love within their sys­tem and pre­pare for trans­for­ma­tion. This opens the door to be in greater con­tact with the pur­pose and to detach one­self from outer cir­cum­stances. When we make an effort to orga­nize our life: to bring in the light, love and good­will, then this cre­ates a burn­ing ground.

“Aries inau­gu­rates the new Age and it is effec­tive on the Earth through the orga­niz­ing power of Uranus. That which is now ini­ti­ated in Aries will become man­i­fested in Aquar­ius” (Eso­teric Astrol­ogy, p. 548.)

There­fore, now is a good time to expand on any ideas that you have that will help humanity’s future.

The next point of the cross is the Sun and Mer­cury in Can­cer. Can­cer is the gate­way into incar­na­tion or form life. But it is a Car­di­nal sign, as well, which relates it to Spirit. This cross rep­re­sents a chance to uti­lize the mind (Mer­cury) to bring higher ideas into form manifestation.

This raises the vibra­tion of mat­ter which is seen in the keynote of Can­cer, “I build a lighted house and therein dwell.” Once a per­son has built their own lighted house, they work to build the lighted house for human­ity. This relates back to the shift­ing of humanity’s purpose.

We are no longer to be focused on war and ret­ri­bu­tion but on build­ing the ideas of unity, har­mony and broth­er­hood. Of course, since Can­cer rules the home, this denotes that the build­ing of humanity’s house of light begins within the home.

Across from this is the full moon in Capri­corn. At this time, the moon is exactly aligned with the planet Pluto. Capri­corn is rep­re­sen­ta­tive of mate­ri­al­ism. The moon rep­re­sents humanity’s emo­tional attach­ment to the mate­r­ial world and the past karma con­nected with it. Pluto is First Ray and along the line of the destroyer.

Pluto is also called the “sword of truth.” This truth is con­nected to the new pur­pose enter­ing into the con­scious­ness of human­ity which destroys the old way of think­ing. This is seen in the fact that build­ing up mate­r­ial wealth, for wealth’s sake, is not our purpose.

Of course, we see this reflected in the world­wide finan­cial cri­sis. This cross brings in a pow­er­ful Will energy. This can stir up a lot of emo­tion and lead toward con­flict. It can also bring in higher ideas that will lead to the heal­ing of con­flicts, depend­ing upon the focus. If human­ity responds, then it will lead to climb­ing the moun­tain of spir­i­tual vision in Capricorn.

The fourth point of the cross is Sat­urn. Sat­urn is at the later degrees of Virgo and is mov­ing into Libra. In Libra, Sat­urn is the hier­ar­chi­cal ruler. Sat­urn brings in the third ray of active intelligence.

With the energy of will and a new pur­pose express­ing through this Car­di­nal cross, it takes an orga­nized intel­li­gence to put that pur­pose into action. Sat­urn sig­ni­fies cre­at­ing an intel­li­gent plan to put the higher pur­pose into action. Instead of rep­re­sent­ing the old form, here Sat­urn rep­re­sents the new form that must be created.

This is done with intel­li­gent, bal­anced (Libra) think­ing. Because Sat­urn is on the cusp and in the last degrees of Virgo, the energy of the Mother strongly influ­ences. This is to say that the new plan must call atten­tion to the need for com­pas­sion and under­stand­ing toward all crea­tures on the earth.
