This morning we wake up to Moon in
Aries conjunct Uranus (4:38 AM EDT). Uranus is positioned to turn
retrograde on the 21st. Tonight, the Moon will form our
Last Quarter Moon and a Cardinal t-square with Mars in Libra (And
Vesta, Ceres, NN).
One of the functions of Libra is for
Man to meet Woman in relationship. I'm not saying relationships (as
in romantic) are only for opposite sex unions. Nope. As a matter of
fact, I'm not talking about external relationships at all. What I'm
saying is Libra is a masculine person's introduction to his feminine
nature and what kind of relationship he fosters with that. It is a
feminine persons introduction to her masculine nature and what kind
of relationship she fosters with that.
In Libra, we find a sense of androgyny
with the ultimate harmonious effect occurring when the two energies
are brought into proper balance. With our Sun in Cancer, we are
nudged to nurture and care for each side of ourselves equally.
The Last Quarter Moon perfects at 10:09
PM. These typically bring tension and perhaps some conflict. The
Sun's waxing square to Mars persists and perfects tomorrow morning at
2:32 AM. The Moon perfects in square to Mars tonight at 10:19 PM.
This, to me, looks a lot like a priority check. We have Self (Aries)
vs Home/Family (Cancer) vs all the various forms of relationships
(Libra).
You may discover relationships that are
no longer supportive. You may be called to negotiate or re-negotiate
terms in a contractual agreement. You may discover a little bit about
who you are and what you need and find a way to work with
others to achieve that. It's all about how you decide to perceive and
employ the energy...or not.

This Moon is going to light our current
nodal axis up again as the Sun is still within orb of tensely
aspecting both.
One of the functions of Libra is for
Man to meet Woman in relationship. I'm not saying relationships (as
in romantic) are only for opposite sex unions. Nope. As a matter of
fact, I'm not talking about external relationships at all. What I'm
saying is Libra is a masculine person's introduction to his feminine
nature and what kind of relationship he fosters with that. It is a
feminine persons introduction to her masculine nature and what kind
of relationship she fosters with that.
In Aries, we discover the primal self.
In Libra, we discover the other side of the coin both from within and
from the outside. Know that part of our current North Node journey
has to do with, first, self discovery then further rectifying the
imbalance of masculine and feminine within our own selves. So, how
are you relating to both your masculine and feminine natures? We do,
in fact, need them both.
In Libra, we find a sense of androgyny
with the ultimate harmonious effect occurring when the two energies
are brought into proper balance. With our Sun in Cancer, we are
nudged to nurture and care for each side of ourselves equally.
If that occurs within, a magical thing
happens in the outer world. We become more accepting of both sides in
other people. The more we understand, accept, nurture and support
ourselves, the more we are able to extend this understanding,
acceptance and support to others. The longer we suppress and ignore
one side or the other, the longer we will project it onto the face of
the other. This prevents us from being whole. "They" don't complete you. YOU complete you when you marry your polarities. But, until that is realized, we keep looking for our lost half on the face of our partners. And, we usually find it!

Moon opposite her ruler is ambiguous.
How we feel and what we are doing are not matching up. Sun square
Mars can foster competition in the outer world as well as inner
conflict. It is the roiling on the inside that typically causes
people to act out or lash out at others. So, how you treat and feel
about your self (Moon in Aries) directly affects how we interact with
others (Mars in Libra). Our personal experience of the principles of
Cancer (how we nurture) affects both how we self-nurture (Moon in
Aries) and how we interact with others (Mars in Libra).
It's hard for Mars in Libra to be
intrinsically motivated. Sometimes, it is as if Mars in Libra has an
external force driving it. It can manifest as a “wait and see”
attitude. For example, “I'm not going to do anything until I see
what they do next.” This CAN be a smart move but overall you should
have a good idea about what it is you want to do next without anyone
doing anything to prompt you. An intact internal guidance system
needs to be in place to operate from. Aries brings that internal
motivation and this is how the conflict begins. We discover “I need
X but they want me to do Y.”
You may discover relationships that are
no longer supportive. You may be called to negotiate or re-negotiate
terms in a contractual agreement. You may discover a little bit about
who you are and what you need and find a way to work with
others to achieve that. It's all about how you decide to perceive and
employ the energy...or not.
After the Moon's opposition to Mars,
she reaches Void status until entering Taurus at 4:43 AM EDT
tomorrow. Our Taurus Moon is busy but in a good way. There is a great
deal of potential for a really nice weekend once we exit this
Cardinal conflict.
