The Full Moon in Aries opposite the Sun in Libra brings new tensions, at the same time, it takes the sting out of some of the old fears. The sublime energy of the chart is the one that is not in it. This full moon precedes the eclipse season, and its energy like now is the time to get ready. In the next month powers will shift, accompanied with upheavals. Those are not terrifying or even worrisome so much, those are only changes, and some of them will prove right in the long run.
The moon in Aries brings the energy of competition. Opposite the Sun in Libra which prefers cooperation. The Aries – Libra axis is about relationship. It about a self (aries) and another self, joining together trying to become one unit. Ideally, when the two of them support each other and themselves, they are both enriched, and can face life strengthened by the bond. In reality, relationships are filled with power struggles, each partner striving to dominate the other partner. The result is that they face life depleted and weak separately and together.
This full moon will change those power struggles, by shifting the power from one side to the other. Venus, Libra’s lord is in an exact square to Uranus at the time of the full moon – and that spells upheavals. Venus in Leo, fresh from its retrograde, still in the shadow degrees, is searching for meaning and self-expression. Looking for creativity, and for new avenues for self-expression. Uranus represents the radicals, on either side of the political map: those who preach for violence, as well as those who preach for peace. Both extremes overtime become narrow, repetitive and separative. The square between Venus and Uranus highlights the struggle between those who are in the center to those on the extreme. The power shift lies in the surprising turn of public sentiments. the interest that the political extreme received in the past 18 years is wearing out. It is hitting a formidable social wall – it will be considered boring.
Moon in Aries Sun in Libra
The moon in Aries brings with it a childlike approach to life. It is an impulsive energy, usually enthusiastic, jumps ahead without thinking and then jumps ahead to the next thing. This moon is innocent and never checks the facts, therefore it is easily deluded. Hot tempered, acting spontaneously and not thinking about consequences. Moon in Aries will not accept routine, repetitiveness and his biggest woe is being bored.
The Sun in Libra tends to charming, compromising and socially active. This can lead to hiding one’s emotions behind the social decree. It is the sign representing the law. Yet, its bigger power lies in its ability to be a trendsetter.
Hiding behind this full moon is the conjunction of Mars with the south node in Libra. Mars shakes the Libra’s tendency to insist on social dictums. As if those dictums have been emptied out of their meaning. All that is left is an empty feeling. This configuration challenges the moon since Mars is its lord, with relationships that end because people are feeling bored in their relationships.
This full moon fills us with questions, yet the answers will come only next month after the eclipses. Therefore, expect to feel as if you are hung in the air, not sure anymore what is right or wrong, left or right, – I cant give you the answers in this short video, all I can do is suggest that asking those questions and the shaky feeling of not being sure is the right feeling for this time. There is value in questioning your relationship and what they are based on.
Libra – the trendsetter
The new trends will prove vague, inchoate, and hard to describe. Mercury representing clear definitions and the common sense (among other things) is in an opposition aspect to Neptune. When Mercury is opposite Neptune we tend to say the wrong thing at the wrong time. We are easily deluded, and our “social sense” gets a bit out of synch. The very same opposition can give us insights, inspiration and vague spiritually fulfilling feelings, yet seem far from our daily lives. Mercury is also in a harmonious aspect to Uranus, which brings us back to the notion of finding a new trend out of sheer boredom.
The combination of Venus square Uranus, Mars near the south node, and Mercury opposite Neptune spell an economic and political upheaval. The financial crisis is the result of overspending that felt fun for a while, yet is now reaching the point where it, too, becomes boring. Showing off new bought items is losing its appeal. The new trend will focus more on one’s talents than on one’s purchases.
Venus is the lord of the Sun, in mutual reception with the it, It is a good time for social interactions, having simple fun, and meeting old and new friends.
