This Saturday (March 31st 2018) we are having a Full Moon in Libra! It's been an intense time lately and this Full Moon is no different. There's a lot going on around it.
The Full Moon happens when the Moon and the Sun oppose each other. The Sun and Moon are equally important in a Full Moon and we always deal with two opposite energies. This Full Moon the Sun is in Aries and the Moon is in Libra. The basic energy of this Full Moon all other aspects aside is all about balancing yourself and your own independent needs with that of a relationship or relationships. It's about finding compromise and releasing anything holding you back from that.
The Sun in Aries is the part of the Full Moon that deals with the 'self' and our independence. The Sun will be conjunct Mercury, which is retrograde, during the Full Moon. This means there's quite a bit of reflection around this time. It's important to really go deep within yourself and reflect at this time. Reflect on who you are, your own independence and how that fits into relationships with other people. Reflect on relationships as well and what you think makes a relationship harmonious. The past may keep popping up at this time. You could be thinking about past events. Times when you may have given yourself up for another person or times when you were willful and selfish and didn't really put the effort you should have into a relationship. Times when things weren't really fair and harmonious. It's important to sort through all these things, so that ultimately you can be happy with yourself and happy within your partnerships.
The Moon is in Libra for this Full Moon and Libra is ruled by Venus. It's important to take note that the day of the Full Moon Venus enters Taurus. There's a new fresh Venus energy starting that day. Besides ruling Libra, Venus also rules Taurus. This is a good Venus placement. Grounded and sensual. Much better than when Venus was in Aries. This can help us out in the relationship arena. Venus in Taurus gets along with all the Capricorn energy that's going on right now, which is very helpful. Venus in Aries did not do that.
The difficult part of the Full Moon is a square to both Mars and Saturn in Capricorn. This whole Aries season has been marked by squares that all the planets in Aries are making to all the planets in Capricorn. It's interesting because Aries is ruled by Mars and Mars is in Capricorn! So not only is all the Aries energy coming up against Capricorn blocks, it's ruled by it! It's quite a Saturnian and Capricornian time. We may feel like we're coming against blocks of different kinds, which can bring out anger and frustration in some people. There's a sense of restriction and not being able to move forward quite yet or get what we want. Aries energy is impulsive. We can't be impulsive at this time though. If you were to act impulsively right now the price to pay would be pretty high. Aries is the child and Capricorn is the parent that says 'no!'. It sounds like a bummer, but it's all for a reason. The universe is always on our side, remember that. We can indeed have what we want, but we must be patient, build slowly and be practical. Saturn rules authority and parental figures. We need to step into our own authority and be our own parent. These aspects we are having are forcing us to 'grow up'. Take your life seriously! Decide what you want seriously and start building it practically and responsibly. When you act like a little child who just impulsively wants things and so you just does things without thinking, you are not serving your highest good. Take your own life seriously and think about whether something contributes to the greater plan of your life before you do it. The brakes are on at this time, but it's for a greater purpose. This also contributes to relationships. We should take them more seriously as well. Decide what you want to build in terms of relationships and be committed to that.
You are the architect of your own life. Sit down and think about what kind of life you would like to build. What do you truly want for yourself that would serve your highest good? What do you want your relationships to look like? Sit down at the drawing board and think. Reflect on things that have already happened to get clearer on what is right for you. When Mercury Retrograde is over you can start drawing. Perhaps you are truly sitting down to a clean slate at this time because of lots of changes. Perhaps you have already been drawing up the life you want, but you need to take a break and reflect on it. Do you need to tweak some things? Have you decided you
want to add something you didn't know you wanted before? You only get this one life as the person you are now, so take it seriously and decide to create a life that is fulfilling.
