Full Moon in Aries:
September 29, 2012
The bases are loaded for this Saturday's Full Moon in passionate, risk-loving, fiery Aries. With Uranus lined up with the Moon and Pluto squaring, all bets are off and anything goes.
This Full Moon calls for clear sight and steady hands ... have I mixed enough metaphors up in there?
Since the Pluto–Uranus square came exact on September 19, the Moon, Mercury and the Sun have taken turns triggering the square by moving through early Libra, and in the case of the Moon, moving through early Capricorn too.
This has kept those Pluto–Uranus issues of transformation, alchemy, polarization, and power struggles front and center in our consciousness. For some, it's been a time of quick, unexpected changes. Some have experienced unlooked-for opportunities, others traumatic shifts. Some have felt surges of energy that have been enlivening, in other cases, overwhelming.
The Sun is already turning the Uranus–Pluto square into a T-square, with the Moon a square-and-a-half away in Uranus' home sign, Aquarius. The Moon creates a Grand Trine in Air with Mercury and Jupiter.
This pattern offers insight into how the big transformations around us will affect both our lives and our communities. With the Sun, Moon and Mercury in Air, we get perspective, objectivity, and the long view.
With Mercury, Jupiter and the Moon in flow, we can articulate our thoughts and feelings, putting energy into words. We might get philosophical. We might also talk too much.
There's also a Grand Trine linking Neptune and Chiron in Pisces with Ceres in Cancer, and Saturn in late out-of-element Libra. This connection also offers support for putting feelings into form, although Neptune also offers her usual opportunities for zoning out and missing the point.
Adding to the intensity, Mars in Scorpio and Venus in Leo form a tight square. Mars is conjunct the North Node. Venus anchors a Finger of the World as she makes sesquiquadrates to Uranus and Leo.
Again, we see personal planets (Venus and Mars) connected to major cosmic energies (Pluto, Uranus and the Nodes of the Moon) in ways that present a challenge. This pattern calls for a courageous balance of inner and outer, the Self and the Shadow, what we admit to publicly and what we only let out in private––Leo and Scorpio.
Whew! And we're not even at the Full Moon yet.
Uranus, standing with the Moon, puts his thumb firmly on the side of honoring our true selves. He reminds us we can't create authentic relationships unless we're allowed to be our true selves as part of the package.
On a mundane level, a Full Moon in Aries conjunct Uranus with Mars in Scorpio squaring Venus in Leo suggests a time of intense passion––wonderful with the right partner, dangerous in the wrong place at the wrong time. Avoid unnecessary risk.
Where does this Full Moon fall in your birth chart? In this area of life, you may receive new information about authenticity, power, desire, and transformation.
This Full Moon aspects my early Libra Sun, and lies across my 2nd House–8th House axis. At first glance, this might suggest a need to look at money issues. But with Venus transiting across my Ascendant and Mars just inside my 4th House, I'm thinking this will be more about deep-seated values, personal authenticity, and a frank look into my psyche. I can't wait. Really.
Venus and Mars still square each other in Leo and Scorpio; Mars still aligns with the North Node while Venus squares the Nodes.
The Neptune–Chiron–Ceres–Saturn Grand Trine is still in effect, maintaining the focus on feelings and form, although without the Grand Air trine of September 26, those feelings may move into passionate expression. Another reason to avoid unnecessary risk.
This Full Moon offers great power for change. Channel its energy into reaching your best goals and deepest desires. It also offers a chance to look, under bright light, at who we truly are––if we're ready to go there.
