Full Moon in Aries: Changing Relationship Dynamics


Tomorrow ( October 5th 2017 at 11:40 AM PDT) there will be a Full Moon in Aries. The energy is quite intense around this one, but hopefully in a positive way. It's been intense in general astrologically and this is just one more piece to the puzzle. 

Full Moon's are an emotional time where things come to a culmination or harvest each month. The area of focus this month is relationships and relationship dynamics. 

With a typical Full Moon in Aries (which of course means that the Sun is opposing in Libra) we have a tug of war between the 'me' and the 'we'. The Moon in Aries wants independence, individuality and to do what it wants. The Sun in Libra wants what's best for the relationship. It wants harmony and compromise. This tug of war was accentuated with the recent opposition of Uranus in Aries and Jupiter in Libra. On a personal level this opposition was between what Uranus in Aries wants which is independence, individuality, and having the freedom to do what it wants and Jupiter in Libra who wants to grow through partnership and have compromise. With this aspect we had a tug of war between these two things before this Full Moon. 

We are trying to find the balance still between these two things, but the tug of war is coming to a kind of resolution. To start with, Mercury is also in Libra conjunct the Sun and is helping us communicate in a partnership sense and find compromise. 

Where it really gets interesting is that the planet that rules Libra (Venus) and the planet that rules Aries (Mars) are exactly conjunct at the Full Moon. So a middle ground and a balance may be found as these planets are working together. This aspect is nice for relationships in general and can be kind of sexy ( planets that rule romance and sex drive conjunct doesn't sound so bad....). They're both in Virgo though, which is a very practical sign. This helps with some practical and grounded solutions. 

Mars and Venus both made a trine to Pluto individually earlier in the week, which shows that things have been transforming on an individual and partnership level. These areas are undergoing a huge transformational shift, which is underlying all of this. 

~Overall, relationship dynamics are growing and changing. We are trying to find a balance between our personal needs and desires and those of a partnership/partnerships in our lives. We are getting practical about this and there is a lot of communication about our thoughts and feelings. Pluto is totally transforming the nature of things, tearing structures up from the roots and changing things positively for the better. Pluto doesn't let things stay the same. Pluto is the planet of death after all and we are witnessing the death of an old way of being. Pluto also rules rebirth however and that is what is happening now on a personal and relationship level~
