This morning we wake up to
the Moon in Libra. Early in the day she remains largely unaspected
allowing us to go about our typical Monday routine. It is later
tonight when she begins receiving pressure. However, emotions still
high as the Moon continues to build toward crescendo.
We are looking at the me/we
axis of Aries and Libra getting a workout. However, the Libra Moon
has Jupiter on one side of her and Spica on the other. She may have
an upper hand here. At 6:58 PM, the Moon is officially conjunct
Jupiter. This can equate to an uptick in a desire to socialize or
spend time with trusted friends. Emotions expand for better or worse.
But, for the most part, this feels good and can be quite optimistic.
The Moon's door is darkened
by way of a square to Pluto at 9:44 PM. The buoyant emotions of
Moon/Jupiter are under threat. The shadow of our relationship life
creep forth from the closet and make their presence undeniable. We
could become fearful here. Or paranoid. Jealousy and envy could be at
issue or the laughing, warm friendship vibe could take a more sexy
turn.
The Full Moon blossoms at
2:09 AM. Dubbed the “Egg Moon” I'm inclined to call it the “Break
up Moon.” That's just a simple manifestation of a Full Moon in
Libra. We may release relationships for various reason. Some of this
will be expected. Others result in a “straw that broke the camel's
back” scenario. Moreover, this “break up” mentality is not
reserved solely for romantic relationships. We could decide to break
up with our job, a family member, our debt, a bad habit, a friend,
our bank even subservient mentalities are at risk of getting ditched.
As the chick divorces the egg, we too break free of what we perceive
as a prison, counter-productive to personal growth or what we feel
may trap us or hold us in place.
The Sabian Symbols involved
in this lunation read as follows:
For the Sun at 22 Aries:
Gateway opening to the garden of all desired things. Bounty
awaits. The garden of our hearts can be over-flowing with blooms at
this time. We are encouraged to tickle all our senses with the
promises of pleasure and abundance.
For the Moon at 22 Libra:
Chanticleer salutes the rising Sun with exuberant tones.
Celebrate the fact you woke up this morning and make a joyful
noise. This Symbol often reminds me of the movie, “City of Angels.”
In that movie, the angels all gather together each morning and watch
the sunrise. With the rise of the Sun, in comes this wonderful
harmony that can only be heard in the heavens. But, we too, here on
Earth can celebrate the fact that our warm Sun keeps rising to bring
us life and vitality daily. Each day offers us a new opportunity and
a clean slate. Embark upon this day with joy in your heart and a song
on your lips. It's also interesting to note that roosters are
interchangeable with the term chanticleer. The Rooster heralds a new
day is dawning as the Sun rises. Tonight, we may crow at the Moon
instead making the fact we are in the Year of the Fire Rooster
apparent.
For the Moon's Ruler, Venus Rx at 27
Pisces: The harvest moon rises in translucent Autumnal skies.
(gosh doesn't that sound familiar?...see Full Moon in Virgo's ruler)
Here we are, back at the harvest degree of Pisces. Yes, there are
culminations and resolutions drawn here. We have potential to
manifest from the seat of creativity and dream. We reap what we have
sown. Venus on this degree encourages us to greet the day gently and
with wonder realizing the beauty that is all around us in the most
simple of things. Those everyday types of miracles that we often
overlook.
Even
though I've dubbed this lunation as the “break up Moon,” that
does not mean that all your relationships are at threat. This applies
to those you have out grown, have become overly cumbersome with no
chance of rejuvenation...something about them was not supportive,
fair or just doesn't fit the bill. Other relationships, however, are
at risk of deepening and growing stronger. Chances are, by today you
know which side of the fence you are on. Yet, there will be a few
surprises, I'm sure. The end result (deepening or break up) is
exhilarating and freeing. Something to celebrate and announce.
Whether it's declaring, “I'm back on the market!” “I'm free of
that anchor!” or “I've found THE one!” The culmination of the
Moon whose lead up was nothing short of tenuous brings release and in
some cases, relief.
Another
little piece of good news is due the fact that our Venus retrograde
is also ending. Venus turns direct on April 15th.
From now until then, she remains in proximity of a conjunction with
Chiron and square to Saturn. Whatever clean up work we have in the
realm of Venus matters fits nicely here. We benefit from gentle self
care and becoming aware of the need to be responsible care takers of
our hearts and what we find of value. Boundaries are drawn in places
where we may have been overly empathic, enabled/enabling or may have
misplaced sympathy. Expenses and fat are trimmed in an effort to
ensure future resource. We divorce our wasteful mentality and
theories about relationships from our more naïve days in favor of a
more well weathered and matured perspective that values the same.
This can also be a time of healing and repairing broken hearts.
The
Full Moon continues shining brilliantly through the night appearing
in the sky like a new pearl between two diamond stars (Spica and
Jupiter). Notorious for restlessness and sleepless nights, many will
be awake to see her in all her glory.
Full Moons are often revealing. This
one comes under the spotlight of Jupiter who has been in harsh
cahoots with Pluto in Capricorn by square. Jupiter's spotlight shined
brightly into the darkest corners and chased out the deepest shadows
in an effort to draw our attention into these spaces. To show us
where we may be overly self-righteous, underhanded, dependent,
self-destructive or what have you. Skeletons on stage in some cases.
Meanwhile, Venus has been traveling backward playing tug of war with
our hearts and as ruler of this lunation we find her stalled out and
humbled by Saturn/Chiron if not exalted (or kissed) as a result of
effectively addressing our elusive pains, addictions, biases. In some
instances, she is fractured. Forlorn. Lonely. In others, she gently
and slowly blossoms as a result of conscious effort. This leads us to
re-frame our perspective in relation to matters of Venus (value,
worth, love). A journey led by our backpedaling winged messenger,
Mercury in Taurus. Jupiter continues to show us the shadow as he
snuggles right up to the Full Moon offering us a chance to see
exactly how ALL of our recent past history has affected our
relationships. That's right. The thing that is revealed to you...is
you... as reflected back to you through your relationships.
If you are feeling heavily
over-weighted and rejected at this Full Moon, know that you are being
given an opportunity to build better relationships and directed
toward making better choices in your life in regard to appeasing
Venus.
There is a song that always reminds me
of the shadow of Jupiter in Libra. The title is, “It ain't my
fault.” The shadow of Libra, or the lower vibration, will project
blame on others for her current circumstances. Nothing is ever this
Libra's fault. Yet, when Libra becomes self-accountable she begins to
realize that blaming others only gives her power to others.
Accountability, however, gives her control. But, low-end Libra sheds
accountability like last fall's trends, missing the opportunity to
step out of the low-power/high-blame cycle. Remember that. If it
comes to light under this Full Moon that yesterday's consequences are
becoming continually heavier, it may be time to ask yourself, “Was
it worth it? Why do I keep doing this to myself?” These are very
worthy questions to ask instead of trying to assuage your suffering
by continuing to place blame on everyone and every thing else. If you
want positive change in your life, that is. If you don't (want
change) or if you are good (gently blooming) where you are, then by
all means keep doing what you are doing and keep getting what you are
getting.

This
morning the Libra Moon remains active. She's prone to wake early due
an opposition with Uranus at 7:32 AM. The day moves forward
productively as she waxes toward a sextile with Saturn in Sagittarius
at 2:19 PM prior to reaching Void status. I imagine most are feeling
fairly spry except for those suffering the residual fall out of
Venus/Chiron and Saturn. There is valuable insight to be found in
most heart pains. Broke? Grow up how you manage your money. Find
inventive ways to increase income. Heartbroken? Grow up your
relationship efforts and make better choices of action or partner. As
you proactively work to heal your Venus issues, these life lessons
become more and more apparent. It's not fun but it is worthy to build
upon. Also, well noted advice that I received from a Sun/Pluto person is highly applicable here, "If you have hit rock bottom, quit digging."
After
a Full Moon culminates, the sky gears toward release and tying up
loose ends. Between now and the New Moon in Taurus, we've got plenty
of time to clear out and clean up as our perspective in regard to
matters of value shifts with Mercury retrograde. Venus stalls in
conjunction to Chiron and square Saturn bringing much emphasis to the
holes in our boat (love, empathy and matters of finance) that may
need boundary, healing or maturity. Jupiter continues his retrograde
allowing us to assess our relationship history and challenging our
perspective on relationships in general. Saturn rewinds us through
our personal journey giving us opportunity to see how our previous
actions have led us to where we are today for better or worse. We are
given opportunity to inscribe what we've learned (and are learning)
from the re-do everything energy coming from the sky into our future
steps. At times, it may feel like taking a step backward in an effort
to get a better idea of where we want to go or to simply think things
over. In some cases, it may just be a call for a do-over which could
include pleas for second chances.
The
Moon remains Void until entering the deep waters of Scorpio at 6:42
PM. This will call us to face off with ourselves to some degree. The
first aspect is an opposition to Mercury Rx in Taurus at 3:41 AM.
Maybe, just maybe, it's time to change our mind in regard to what is
important and to rethink what we want.
Overall,
the day passes with a bit of relief due merely the fact the pressure
from the Moon has popped. Some may be left with their hearts in their
hands and mourning loss. Others feel free after finally ditching the
albatross around their necks. The Scorpio Moon allows us to mourn and
assess our deeper fears. If jealousy and envy are issues you struggle
with, the darkening Moon gives opportunity to release and reform
these emotional issues. Either way, we are called to closely inspect
emotional issues which is a more comfortable exercise for some than
others. However, letting go and releasing in an effort to rebuild
something more sturdy in the empty spaces left in the wake of our
“break up” Full Moon is greatly emphasized. Even if you are only
divorcing winter, you can finish clearing out that stagnant energy
with astute Spring Cleaning acts in an effort to make room for fresh,
clean and new. The Scorpio Moon encourages us to purge in this way
even if it is merely an emotional purge through our tears. One tip I
can give for the forlorn is if you are sorry and have been given a
clear visual of how you may have messed things up in the relationship
realm, don't say it...walk it. Act out your apology instead of
verbalizing it. Your actions are much louder than words.
