Friday's Full Moon in Aries! ♈🌕
We're less than a week into Libra Season and we've already got the Full Moon in Aries this Friday morning at 2.57am PT. 💥
The planetary "rulers" of these two planets are Venus and Mars, the cosmic lovers. They're in harmonious aspect to one another, emphasizing the energies.
Then on Saturday, still under the Full Moon vibes, Luna makes an aspect over to Venus.
To sum it up: The archetypal masculine and feminine energies are strongly and positively emphasized.
💘Venus and Libra = all things feminine or receptive
⚔ Mars and Aries = all things masculine or action-oriented
Venus has been retrograde (Rx) in Leo and Luna is Full in Aries — two masculine fire signs that express their zeal for life with dynamism and passion.
The quintessential coquette of the zodiac, Venus, has traversed a masculine sign for five months instead of her usual three weeks! Whoa, that's a LONG TIME.
That's why I'm pretty sure this Full Moon will give us one final taste of Venus retrograde (Rx), with eight more days to fully wrap-up the cycle before the planet of love and beauty enters Virgo on October 8.
And it's a fitting farewell given that Full Moons are symbolic of culminations.
My favorite example of traditional femininity embracing the traditionally masculine. #buffy
Since Libra and Venus are primarily concerned with interpersonal relationship, the polarity — Aries and Mars — is desirous of independence and oriented toward self.
Under this Full Moon, we get to reflect on where we can find greater balance between our need for relationship and our craving for freedom (or lack thereof). 🌕
Let's contemplate this polarity:
♎ Where and why do you continue to ignore your own needs to maintain the peace of your relationships?
Since intimacy is a non-negotiable need (read: necessary for survival), I can promise you, there's not just one but many ways in which you self-sacrifice for the sake of a relationship — whether it's for a friend, family or lover.
♈ Have you ever left or sabotaged a relationship, job or other situation because you perceived that it didn't give you the opportunity to freely express your unique self?
How did that work out for you? Did you find yourself repeating the pattern again or did you truly follow your heart and find empowerment through your actions?
♎ ♈ What does it mean to you to be in a balanced relationship in which both individuals have their needs met?
This is different for all of us. Perhaps you want to share equal responsibility with your partner. Perhaps you want your mate to play a specific role while you play a different role, together achieving harmony? ⚖
What matters most isn't how it looks, but whether you're in alignment with your personal values and relationship needs.
⚡THE ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST
🌙♊ The Moon in Pisces is happily situated today and tomorrow.
Dreamy Pisces is compassionate and idealistic and feels best when it's helping others or expressing its devotion to Source.
Don't overlook an opportunity! ⬅
>> This is sweet and gentle energy that can be applied to any situation where you require more creativity, honesty or insight.
🌙 ♉The Moon in Taurus comes up first to jolly Jupiter and then on to Uranus, the Great Awakener.
Sunday evening will bring some feel good emotional vibes. On the other hand, Uranus threatens to disturb our peace of mind Monday morning.
Emotional scenes are to be avoided on Monday, unless it's in service to your healing work. 🕊
If the former: Proceed with caution. If the latter: You're likely to make good progress, especially as the Moon makes makes a harmonious grand trine over to Mercury in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn, facilitating effective communications or powerful shifts of perspective. 💬
>> Bringing more attention to your spiritual path or applying creative solutions to old problems can be particularly effective on Monday.
⚠🔥 Also on Monday, Mars begins to form a challenging square over to Pluto. This is big, intense and volatile energy.
Repressed anger can come out sideways, libido may increase and generally, we can feel stymied.
Oh, and there's also the little problem of feeling like situations are against you or you're pointing the finger of blame rather than taking responsibility for your own feelings and actions.
We're under this influence until October 9. How to make best use of not-so-pleasant energies? 🌋
>> Remain mindful that anger is on the rise for the collective. Exercise daily and whenever possible, curb impulsive behavior.
