Tonight’s full moon, occurs at 11:30PM PST, and is located at 11° Gemini-Sagittarius.
Where ever a full moon falls in our charts, is where we have the opportunity to become conscious (sun) of that which has been unconscious (moon), as during a full moon the Sun shines directly upon the Moon, eliminating all shadows.
This particular full moon has the Moon in Gemini conjunct the fixed, royal star, Aldebaran, and the Sun in Sagittarius, conjunct the fixed, royal star, Antares.
Aldebaran and Antares are two of the Four Royal Stars, also known as the Gaurdians of the Sky, by Persian astrologers.
Zoroaster, the Iranian Prophet and Poet, whose works are attributed to the birth of Zoroastrianism, was familiar with these Royal Stars, and known to make reference to them.
Aldebaran, is known as ‘The Watcher of the East’ and is associated with Archangel Michael.
Antares, ‘The Watcher of the West’ is in association to Archangel Uriel.
At the full moon tonight, the Sun’s radiance is boosted by Antares, a red super-giant, and termed accordingly by classical Greek astrologers, “the rival of Mars”.
The Moon is supported by Aldebaran, an orange giant, it’s arabic name meaning “the follower”.
I view this Full Moon as offering us the safety (via the protection of the Guardians of the Sky) and the illumination to observe and consider what we have been following in our lives, be it a person or an ideology, quite possibly before now, in an unconscious manner.
As Antares lends his Mars-like qualities to the illuminator (Sun), we are afforded the foundation of courage and action, to change our course, should we find that we are indeed being ‘the Follower’, to another person or an ideology, that is not serving our Highest Good.

I personally know this is going to be a huge event for myself. 🙂
Yesterday afternoon I was drawn to Enya’s “Aldebaran”, and played it a few times over, allowing my energy to align to the chords.
It was not until this morning, that I pulled up tonights full moon chart, that I realized the correlation of the fixed stars this full moon.
For myself, Aldebaran resides in my 12th house of the Unconscious, so this is just so absolutely perfect for me!
The Sun juiced up by Antares casting away the shadows in my 12th.
An opportunity I plan to avail myself to free of fear and ready and willing to face what I may find there. 🙂
