The Full Moon is always an opposition of the Sun and the Moon. Today the Sun-Moon opposition on the Cancer-Capricorn axis was crossing another opposition, which was formed by Jupiter in Libra and Uranus-Eris conjunction in Aries. The square pattern, which was thus formed, is called a grand cross.<\/p>\n
A grand cross has sometimes been called the \u201cmake-or-break pattern\u201d. The interpretation of a grand cross depends on the quality of the signs in question, and also on the planets involved. A good amount of pressure can be felt, but since today\u2019s cross was in the cardinal signs, and the Sun and the Moon — the givers of life \u2013 were participating, the meaning of this Full Moon<\/a> is manifesting more on the making. The luminaries are rapidly moving planets, so this grand cross is soon unraveling. If the participants were slow-moving outer planets, there would be more dramatic feeling present.<\/p>\n Uranus and Eris are forming a conjunction in 2016 and 2017. The previous time that they were in a conjunction with each other, was in 1927 and 1928. In mythology Eris was the rejected Greek goddess of strife and discord. Themes of exclusion and alienation can also be associated with the astrological Eris. Also in the following example a gut feeling of being excluded can be sensed.<\/p>\n Bossa nova is a music genre which came popular in the 1950s and 1960s. Bossa nova means literally \u201cnew trend\u201d. In 1964 one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time, Getz\/Gilberto, was released. Brazilian guitarist Jo\u00e3o Gilberto\u2019s then wife, Astrud Gilberto sang a track called \u201dThe Girl from Ipanema\u201d on the album, which made her an international star. American saxophonist Stan Getz (born Feb. 2, 1927) and the composer of the song, Ant\u00f4nio Carlos Jobim (born Jan. 25, 1927), are both having the Uranus\/Eris conjunction in their charts, Eris at the Aries Point. Unfortunately the clock times are unknown, but there was a New Moon in Aquarius (the sign ruled by Uranus) on the same day when Stan Getz was born. Also Antonio Carlos Jobim\u2019s Sun is in Aquarius. Astrud Gilberto (born March 29, 1940) has a Sun-Eris conjunction in Aries. Her Jupiter is also in the same sign.<\/p>\n The original title of the song was “Menina que Passa” (“The Girl Who Passes By”). The lyrics tell a story about a man who is attracted to a beautiful girl, who walks daily to the beach and passes the man, but the girl does not see the man:<\/p>\n \u201cBut each day when she walks to the sea,
\nShe looks straight ahead \u2013 not at he\u2026
\nTall and tanned and young and lovely,
\nThe girl from Ipanema goes walking
\nAnd when she passes, he smiles, but she doesn\u2019t see\u2026
\nShe just doesn\u2019t see\u2026\u201d
