Solar Dispositions - The Sun through the 12 Signs of the Zodiac
The essential nature and function of the Sun in astrology, is that which the Ancient Greeks call Gnosis - knowledge, or the state of knowing. Epistemology is a philosophical discipline which is concerned with the study of the nature of knowledge, how to define it and on what basis can a thing be justified as known. Epistemology would likely hold little utility for the core archetype of the Sun, as the Sun represents the state of knowing which emanates from within. To know is to exist, and to exist is to know - it warrants no justification because it is derived from the truth of one’s own experience. From this place of Gnosis we become aware of ourselves and the world around us, and from this awareness choices are made and actions follow.
Full Moon in Scorpio -4/26/21-
With the Full Moon in Scorpio, there is a sense that the fruit that has grown is in someway unsafe, or perhaps even rotten. This may be a time where it is hard to find joy in our accomplishments. We may feel regret for the ways we were not cared for, or that we did not care for others the way we feel we should. We may question the purpose of our labors of love, and have to grapple with the sense of futility that comes with the knowledge of impermanence.
