The Whale Full Moon is about karmic reward, being showered with blessings and discovering the pleasure of sharing our wealth. It is a time to face the demons from the past, lay them to rest and start afresh. The ruling influence is that of Pluto and Venus. The lucky gemstone is Amethyst. The ruling number is 6 (manifestation in the material world). 6 reaches up to heaven to help manifest on earth. The number 9 is the answer down from heaven that it is done (completion).
The Full Moon energy starts building up in the week or so preceding the Full Moon.

*Off with the old and on with the new. It is a good time to let go of that which is no longer needed. It could mean a physical burial (funeral); destroying something that is no longer needed; demolishing old buildings; or putting an end to a bad relationship. Bury or put an end to outworn modes of operating and things that no longer serve you.
*Zen Masters believed that in order to gain something we have to sacrifice something. Spiritually this could mean fasting or giving up on something you do or eat, for example don't eat meat or fish during this time.

Judgement - The constellation Cetus, the Whale or Great Fish, symbolize our journey from ignorance to spiritual enlightenment. The belly of the whale is the transforming womb that casts the newly reborn soul onto the solid ground of spiritual truth. The whale also represents the material world of our mortal selves and when the whale spits us out the immortal soul comes into being. The Judgement card of the tarot depicts the rebirth of six people being resurrected from their watery graves of death and ignorance. They, like Jonah, are hearing and being tested by the Word of God, symbolized by their response to the sound of the angel’s trumpet. This can also indicate an actual birth when the baby is cast out from the womb into the world.

People influenced by this galactic mansion are intelligent and witty and love the fine things of life, but they can also be fanatical in their beliefs, which can lead to ups and downs in life. A person born under this influence is stable, honest, artistic and knowledgeable. They are frank in their opinions and don't twist the truth to please others. They are career minded and capable of rising to positions of authority. They are the first ones to try new things. Social reformers, activists and philosophers are prominent here.
On the negative side they can be moody, reckless, cruel, ungrateful and like to gossip. They may suffer from a fear of water. They suffer struggles, restraint and obstacles in life. Because the womb is so confining, they may suffer because of feeling restricted or confined. This may result in them feeling resentful and jealous of the good fortune of others. They may oppress others, or become freedom fighters.
Their fascination with death may lead them to becoming morticians. They can be fanatical and intolerant of others who have different opinions. Sexually they can be excessive and indulgent. Their inner struggles lead to transformation and spiritual enlightenment.
The powerful Celestial Whale galaxy falls under Aries which is ruled by Mars. It can be harsh in that it determines what deserves to be cultivated and preserved. This galaxy is concerned with the energy we use to maintain ourselves in the material world. This galaxy is also ruled by the angel of death which makes it formidable and fierce. Things can really heat up under its influence. This galaxy takes away that which has reached its term of life to a new condition and that which is not meant for this world. It indicates the movement of the soul away from the body. It conveys ideas pertaining to discipline and self-control. It is about being faithful, firm, enduring, supporting, maintaining, nourishing and virtuous. This galaxy carries the negative influences of crime, murders, terrorism, etc. This mansion carries the energies of Pluto. It is about self-restrain and transformation. It is about the pain, obstacles and struggles we have to go through on our road to self-actualization or self-realization. Like Pluto it holds the mystery of life and death. This is "the waters that carry things away". This refers to all the passage of souls to the other side when they die. This energy leads the dead to the other side. The energy of this galaxy can bring disgrace, trouble with legacies, and dishonor.
You may find that all the Celestial Mansions affect your life in one way or another, but it will affect each person's life in a different way depending on where it falls in your birth chart.
