FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS - MONDAY JULY 22, 2013

ALL TOGETHER NOW!

With the Full Moon in Aquarius the sign that rules large groups of people, volunteerism and humanitarian causes, it is fitting an proper that over 100 demonstrations for Aquarian, Trayvon Martin have been planned the day before the Full Moon takes place.  We feel the energy of the Full Moon two days before and one day after the actual event.  As the mother of one son, four grandsons and two great grandsons the acquittal of Trayvon's killer affected me on both the personal and human level.  It's hard to accept that six white mothers could look at the evidence and come up with a not guilty.  But maybe they were looking through the lens clouded with white privilege, racist beliefs and ignorance of the history of lynching in this country.  And maybe some of these women were descendants of mothers who would pack a picnic lunch for their children as they took them to see a Black man being tortured and lynched. Maybe this form of depraved indifference for the suffering of another human being, is embedded in their dna.  Maybe the only way they'll "get it" is when it happens to their child.  But the probability of a Black man killing a white child and getting away with it is as distant as the planets in our Solar System. 

AQUARIUS THE HUMANITARIAN

Aquarius is the 11th sign in the Zodiac. When the soul reaches the level of Aquarius, after traveling through the other ten signs, it has the potential to wake up and realize that we are all connected. Aquarius is the sign that has many friends and associates from all walks of life, all races, all economic levels, all religions.  It is fitting and proper that the people who are crying out for justice for Trayvon Martin are from all races, colors and creeds.  These are the people who "get it" that an injustice to one is an injustice to all.  These are the people who have raised their consciousness to a higher level and who will bypass their own physical safety to get out in the streets and make a human cry for justice. 

WE SEE THROUGH DIFFERENT LENSES

My awareness of lynching in this country started when I was 15 and opened Jet Magazine to see the corpse of Emmit Till, who was lynched by white men who were never arrested, but who came forward after the statute of limitations years later to tell how they systematically tortured and killed this young teenager.  From that day on I became keenly aware that lynching in this country started in slavery and continues up to this present day.  The techniques are different but the fact remains the same. A Black man or woman can be killed by police who usually say "I felt threatened", i.e. Amadou Diallo shot down in his hallway as he was holding up a wallet, by 4 depraved member of the NYPD who were acquitted, Sean Bell, shot to death in his car because "we thought he was going for a gun", Michael Stewart, tortured and killed by 12 policeman who "thought he was writing on a wall", Ramarley Graham shot to death in his grandmothers bathroom because" we thought he had a gun".  So as lynching became outlawed in this country the incidence of "legal lynching" escalated and the victims are too numerous to mention here.  So of course when George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin, the date stored in my conscious and unconscious mind came forward..."what another legal lynching?" "Surely this time the murderer will pay" But wait a minute, it took thousands of people getting out in the street, demanding justice just to get this wanna be cop arrested.  Based on experience and what I've seen through my lenses...this guy was going to be acquitted.  The killer, George Zimmerman is a mentally low functioning man who couldn't pass the test to get on the  police force.  So he did the next best thing, became a security guard in a gated community.  Surely with the real cops telling him to stand down, which he ignored and surely with his words on tape saying he was following Trayvon and "they always get away with it"...and other racially charged epithets it would be clear to any human jury that he racially profiled Trayvon and he was going to make sure that Trayvon didn't get away.  Even though their was no forensic evidence on Trayvon's hands that he was in a fight...Zimmerman came up with some mysterious, superficial wounds as a part of his defense.  Even though Zimmerman was carrying a concealed weapon, the jury bought the story that Trayvon grabbed the gun (huh what) and that Zimmerman killed him in self defense.  Even a child could see through that story, but the six while women jurors bought it, because they connected with Zimmerman and didn't have the humanity or empathy for a Black child. 

PRAY, THEN ACT!

Full Moons effect the tides in the ocean and Full Moons effect humans whose bodies are about 75 per cent water.  This is a scientific fact.  So whether you're going to be out demonstrating tomorrow and releasing rage against a racist judicial system, or George Zimmerman, or just people who don't "get it".  The important thing to remember is to tune into a higher frequency first and then listen to your guidance before you take action.  Those of us who are from the old school, know that agent provacateurs could be among the marchers, urging people to act impulsively and creating justified reasons for police to over react.  Marching can be a good thing, a healthy thing that helps the body release pent up tension that feeds on hopelessness, despair, anger and depression.  It's not over yet, so prepare to be in it for the long haul.  Together, we can make a difference, we can make a change.  On the individual level each one of us can make a conscious connection to our Higher Selves. We can use the humanitarian energy from the Aquarius Full Moon to help the teenagers in our respective communities.  Grace Spotted Eagle, a Lakota medicine woman once told us that when we're in the way of a young person give them something to carry with them in the future, because they're moving into a future that we'll never see and we're coming from a past that they'll never see.  In the name of Trayvon Martin, love the teenagers in your family and in your community.  Acknowledge them, smile at them and talk to them as they are the future.  Stay safe, be cool and know that things are going to get better, day by day, minute by minute.  Aquarius keywords are "I Know". Know that the truth is all there is and Divine intervention is evident.  Love & Light, Ayesha
