✫ Chaos inspires the Dancing Star

Full Moon 20°Aries 13^th October @21:07UT

The above title is for the initial impression of a lively and vital, intrepid Full Aries Moon horoscope – one that constellates so many different areas of life; it comes from a quote written by 19^thCentury existential philosopher Fredrich Nietzsche, who says in full “You must still have chaos within your soul to give birth to a Dancing Star”. ‘To give birth’ symbolises bringing forth a creative project, heralding joy with a crowning moment announcing the entrance of something or someone dashing, new and exciting. The thrilling and new are also arenas in which an Aries Full Moon thrives, enticing the (self) competitive to be at the vanguard of any mission, particularly those that have a cause to champion.

Over this rather stimulating Full Aries Moon that mission is multi-layered, multi-dimensional and multi-stranded, with a Grand Cross and Grand Trine in the horoscope. Throughout the three-day Full Moon period (12-13-14^th Oct) we would do well to guard against negative emotions such as envy, anger or spite, especially if or when standing up for self and/or others, at the same time providing copious amounts of strength and care, warmth and inspiration – particularly when birthing interstellar moonwalkers.

We also need to keep our wits about us as soulful chaos now demands a creative outlet, implied by that intriguing Nietzsche quote. But what does it really mean to ‘still have chaos in one’s soul?’ How does such inferred unruliness lead to the ‘dazzling cosmic hoe down’? Is chaos (theory) naturally inherent at the point of creativity for everyone, or just a few, at certain times? Indeed, is soulful chaos Goddess-given, inherited, or self-created; i.e. does it come from outside events and situations, or from inside by never-ending thoughts that hippety-hop on nerves and overwhelming emotion? From the astrological point of view, one wonders if chaos even comes in cycles. (Answer: yes, it does.) But, perhaps more importantly, what kind of astral advice do the heavens offer now when chaos abounds even in places one would expect good governance, law and order?  

☆ Well, when an impulsive, initiating, and potentially innocuous Full Aries Moon is conjunct a transpluto dwarf outer-planet ‘Eris’, everything simply changes. Even the children know that we need to swiftly ditch the naivety, and be aware how karma expands and how, during the initiating moments of onset, with any new thought, word or deed, there is a vibration created that magically ripples out into the world to affect the future – for good or bad. I say this now because dark angel Eris is no ordinary planet: she is none other than the ‘Goddess of Discord and Lawlessness’ (the Roman ‘Discordia’) and sister to Ares, God of War. In reality, she is someone most would prefer not to invoke or mess around with; reiterating the request to be careful about what we personally set into karmic motion, and to be brave when who or what we might meet in the midst of any turmoil is an awesome combination of Xena Warrior Princess and Melisandre.

With such strong Full Moon symbolism, one would be correct in suspecting a collective Erisian ‘commotion’ in her various chaotic guises to be currently felt by almost everyone, in one form or another. Whether its political confusion, or familial, work, or relationship madness getting the better of your natural equilibrium, now is the time to assess the balance of power, as well as the struggles and injustice that imbalance creates. (So please try to be kind (to yourself) and avoid that which riles.) With the Sun AND Mars both in harmonious, peaceful and just Libra, there is every chance that over this Full Moon we can negotiate and deal with those with whom we feel have wronged us, as best and as fairly as we can. 

Nonetheless, unruly Eris is a tricky planet to contend with. While only recently discovered (2006), she symbolises harnessing the outrageous defiant power of the feminine and the outsider’s struggle for survival. Those with (personal) planets between 17-23° of leading cardinal signs – Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn - are currently most challenged by this fierce feminine, Eris, in tremendous ways that can dramatically empower or drastically disempower (the pompous, thoughtless and arrogant). Certain (collective) injustices could hark back to the years 1982-3 …1990, and 2001; people born in those years may well now be heeding a call to action, or a need to speak out against personal injury and/or collective inequity. Good luck, and note how you have a better chance to complete the mission when you stay on centre. 

☆ At Full Moon culmination, the poised Libra Sun opposite a wild Full Aries Moon-Eris is in direct hard ’T-Square’ (90°) to Pluto and Saturn; and the latter planet at home, doubling authoritative Capricorn influence. Both Saturn and controlling Pluto still have ties with the karmic South Node, opposite the Cancer North Node, forming a wide ‘Cardinal Cross of the Central Spiritual Sun’; continuing to alert us to difficult past (life) activity that requires a steady release, redress and reform. 

☆ Still, the Moonwise are aware there is only ever the moment of ‘now’, as the past is gone and the future is yet to come: and besides, staying in the now keeps you in your own fractal flow. Acknowledging ordinary life is back on track, however, and in a serious semblance of order, will probably take a little longer, plus commitment and patience; the results of which could be nicely realised by the January 2020 Full Moon, when Sun is at the same place as Saturn and Pluto are now – and Goddess Eris is once again a strategic player in the climax of a planetary play about karmic inheritance, responsibility, shared power and resources. Heads up: 2020 comes on the wings of several strong female archetypes that do not put up with any BS. Eris is but one.

It’s also worth noting here that Eris is an outer planet with a massive time frame of influence, and an orbit that takes just over half a century to circle Sun (557 years). Its’ widely elliptical path means there are times when ‘disorder, strife and chaos’ stay longer in some signs than others. And, wouldn’t you know it, punky Goth Eris’s passage through Aries is a long transit, taking 122 years to pass through the sign of the oft impatient and child-like, head-butting Ram. This dark shadow Madam won’t even get to Taurus until 2048. Maybe that will be the time when the Goddess really rages in defence of Earthy Taurean values (love, land, money). It also means everyone born after 1926 – which is the majority of Spaceship Earth’s inhabitants – have Eris in Aries to contend with in his or her horoscope. Yet only those who have personal planets (e.g. Sun or Moon) may be cosmically bound to sense, feel and live with her intensity daily. 

In Aries, Eris struggles with personal physical survival, as she devours our own sense of self, identity and childish egos with a warring disposition that create ferocious chaos and disorder – with great swathes of incarnating souls discovering the battlefield is not outside oneself but actually within their own mind. Ultimately aware there is no separation of self from others, yet remaining true to his or her own individual, relative self, within soul families and soul groups, by feeling the personal power of presence as naturally light and rousing is not always easy.

From the Buddhist point of view working with shadowy and difficult energies, it is when we learn to tolerate, love, and be compassionate towards everyone and everything, including our darkest demons, they then naturally (and eventually) transform into light – and love, and become pleasing to live with.   

So while this Aries Full Moon is fuelled by rebellious Eris, those who crave lovely Libran gatherings that exude classic culture with timeless beauty, where considered diplomacy is forged with intellectual vigour in stylish salons and manicured gardens: these are the very same parties to which others, especially the outsiders, should also be invited to. Snobbishness is a Libran trait, it is true, but no one should now be excluded from a Full Moon blast of Cardinal Cross consciousness and fun, lest there should be trouble.

Because this is a Full Aries Moon in which the spotlight is upon new beginnings, we could also receive a timely reminder how we always have a choice: to be spiritually conscious – or not. From a personal point of view, look to the Libra Sun (and check where it is now in your scope) to see who or what helps weigh up pros and cons for any new starts. 

☆ Fortunately for everyone at this Full Moon, the planet that gives hope, optimism and perspective, the far-seeing cosmic sage, Jupiter, makes fabulous connections to both Sun and Moon, with an easy ‘sextile’ and helpful ‘trine’ respectively. Jupiter is the planet to synthesise the qualities of this powerful Full Moon moment, due to its esoteric connections to the Cardinal Cross and Central Spiritual Sun, as Jupiter also now approaches the Galactic Centre. These associations certainly boost confidence to learn as much as you can and, if you haven’t already, get everything together (in these next few months) that you need to know in order to birth the dancing star and or stand up to speak one’s piece; making sure you are in the right place talking the right people if you do have something helpful to say, not ranting on the interwebs. 

☆ Remember Mercury is going retrograde at the end of the month – on Halloween! All kinds of hidden thoughts, secrets and agreements will necessitate a reword and rework during this sacred time of hallowed souls and saints, when the veils between upper and lower worlds are thinnest. This is also when the Scorpionic Mercury becomes an access-all-areas psychopomp, as messenger to the Gods, bargaining deals from the underworld. Mercury retrogrades just days after a New Scorpio Moon Oct 28^th, from 31^st October until November 20^th. Take note: during this time it may be best to play certain cards close to your chest

☆ Also of interest in this Full Moon scope is a delightful ‘Grand Water Trine’ between fated North Node in Cancer, Evening Star Venus and heavenly courier Mercury in Scorpio, all the while oceanic Neptune is conjunct Black Moon Lilith in Pisces. This Water Trine tells us more about depth of feeling, as well as providing a purifying healing channel for souls who encounter crisis when fashioning his or her own creative project.

☆ Brilliantly, Venus and Mars are both irresistible, now in mutual reception, meaning ‘the relationship planets’ get along even though they are not at their best (as Mars is in detriment in Libra (no swashbuckling in the law courts) and bright and shiny Venus is in detriment in Scorpio (due to her currently intense and magnetic strange attractions). Although, it is a seductive Venus who calls the shots in Mars’ domain; active Mars is in Venusian Libran realms, seeking to keep the peace. And this is rather promising, because Mars is a the head of the locomotive shaped chart, making him the leader of the entire horoscope. Acting like a suave Bond, Mars holds out an olive branch whilst heralding the peaceful and harmonising, cool and calm Libran Sun.

☆ Venus, as the ruler of Libra, is also currently opposite Uranus, the ‘Agent of Change’ (which is always a major participant in the Cardinal Cross), again illustrating how freedom in relationship can bizarrely create closeness: by letting love fly, it will also come back, time and time again. Know that if you hold on too tight you’re in danger of hurting the very same ones you love.

☆ Breakthroughs come when the Moon conjoins Uranus, just as Luna begins to wane on the 15^th, towards a Halloween New Scorpio Moon that marks the Fixed Cross Quarter Fire festival, when passion is strong and insight sharp and clear. 

☆ A last but not least mention for the Sun in Venus-ruled Libra, as Venusian blessings now come from the East, as this Full Moon is also ‘Laxmi Purnima’. Laxmi is the Vedic Goddess of wealth and abundance; leading to Diwali on the 28^th Oct and the Eastern Festival Light. This New Moon is also start of the Pagan New Year.

And with that I wish you all a joyous Full Moon with abundant good health, wealth and happiness.

Galactic LOVE ~> Full Moon in Aries 1°59’ ~ Tuesday 25th September 2018 @ 2:51UT

A Full Moon at Equinox, when we experience equal day – equal night around the globe, naturally ramps-up the electromagnetism between Sun-Moon and Earth. Such an intense energy exchange can also escalate our own personal magnetism. Indeed, our ability to magnetise in relationship is about to get a mega-boost when the alluring Love Goddess, Venus, goes retrograde in Scorpio October 6^th. But that’s another love story, saved for later tales of 40 days and 40 nights. 

Though romance does fill the air when the Sun is in Libra, life may already be extra-buzzy (and too busy) to fall head over heels in love, especially with the demands of your own affairs or the special someone, or even those who suck you into their world, into which you gravitate – and you don’t know why. Beware the latter. Remain self-aware. And stay mindful. This is a massively karmic Full Aries Moon, with potentially enduring consequences. 

✰ Because this Full Moon falls on the one day of the year our Spirit Sun exactly connects with our Galaxy’s greater cosmic whole, things are about to get mind-blowingly psychedelic, as the ‘Peace & Love’ Libra Sun aligns with the heart of a massive super-cluster of Galaxies, to which our Galaxy, the Milky Way, belongs. The name of this home super-galactic cluster is ‘Laneakia’, which is Hawaiian for ‘Immeasurable Heaven’. As Spirit Sun now illuminates our connection to the vastness of space, we, too, may be drawn to see those lines we define ourselves by and the protective barriers we erect, often though fear or pain, around our self, our families, our towns or nations, can all fade into insignificance upon appreciating how we really are a part of a hyper-gigantic unified force, connecting billions of light-years across the cosmos, all the way to planet Earth.

Yet everything is relative. Even when travelling through the awesomeness of space, which spaceship Earth is doing at 67,000 miles an hour, unless you want to fall out of your seat, it’s still important to put on one’s metaphoric safety belt. And herein lies one of this Full Moon’s many challenges: when to knuckle-down and buckle-up, and when to fly free.

✰··✰··✰··✰··✰··  Full Moon Aspects ✰··✰··✰··✰··✰··

Thankfully, during a Full Moon brimming with the dramatic tension of endings and beginnings – and a certain kind of magic - there several key pointers to help achieve a certain balance with those we love, and still get our own, and everyone else’s needs’ met. 

1) As a Cardinal Square is activated between Libra Sun and Aries (Harvest) Moon and karmic Saturn in Capricorn, there are bound to be difficulties in finding both liberation AND stability, one or the other, but to experience both will take a rare kind of wisdom. 

Whatever you are dealing with, the Moon’s association with Chiron suggests self-care is paramount before taking care of anyone or anything else – if only to be in tip-top condition and ready and ripe for action, and/or to keep feet on the ground and stop yourself from becoming moody, anxious or resentful. You know what the Air Steward says when traversing choppy sky: “look after yourself first, before taking care of the more vulnerable”.
2) The bright Libra Sun emanating peace, love, beauty and harmony isn’t enough, however. We have to embody equanimity for those in authority to show respect. Yes, you can jangle beads and wear flowers in your hair, even bandy waving placards in the face of injustice, but serious action is now called for, albeit in a cautious manner.

 It is essential to communicate clearly about how much we care, about o with whom, and what we want do or to nurture. Make sure everyone now in your close circle remains informed. Otherwise, should things go wrong in any event we risk blaming others for any hurt, upset or obstacle we could encounter. 

Because the artistic Libra Sun is with Mercury, planet of the mind, it’s even okay to sit on the fence for a while when making decisions. At least from that vantage point one has a painterly view, seeing both sides of any story – and any major choices will be the result of having looked the issue from every angle. But don’t dilly-dally too long, and be prepared to make interesting changes October 10^th.

3) Whenever Luna is in Aries there is usually a cause to champion, and a rush to charge in where angels fear to tread. Be aware, however: an Aires Moon with Shamanic Chiron can be fast and furious, and idiotically clumsy. Only with personal responsibility, self-confidence and total self-awareness can we really be as autonomous as a Full Aries Moon suggests. With the Libra Sun providing emotional balance, one may avoid the danger of self-inflicting wounds which merely prove just how self-centred and childish we can be. Sorry if that sounds harsh. But when drama unfolds and action stations may no longer be a drill, we need to be able to act with certainty, understanding strengths, skills and limitations, and when we can rely upon others.

In point of astral Aries Moon fact, it’s time to be nice to that crazy inner-wild-child. Life can be unbelievably tough for many beings – even when we look at others and think they have it all (whatever ‘it’ is), there can be issues going on under the surface that carry the burden of suffering. The Aries Moon can live life like a battle field, so gentle-up now with Shaman Chiron, and any war-wounds that need a little more healing time and space.

✰ Under any difficult circumstance, the heavens now suggest that if we feel down we pick ourselves and to do what we need to support our self in relationship. Put on the symbolic Band-Aid if necessary, and try not to add more damage. Remember too, how Libran diplomacy is a currency that can be traded and bartered. Note how much more gets done with kind words. Rather than shouting or barking orders, be inspired by Keanu Reeves, who says “If you have been brutally broken but still have the courage to be gentle to other living beings, then you're a badass with a heart of an angel.” Let the badass angel’s heart beat loud and strong right now.

4) As both Sun and Moon are in the tight Cardinal ‘T’ Square with taskmaster Saturn, now boosted by being at home in Capricorn, self-management and self-motivation go a long way, both at work, and play. Under pressure, events around a passionate Aries Moon can be fiery and volatile. Those in tune with the Full Aries Moon can quickly bounce back to swiftly regain composure however, to keep ones’ cool and be the reassuring person who can lead others if called for, or should problems arise. 

✰ As the hierarchical ruler of Libra, Saturn is very dominant this Full Moon chart. As well as being the overlord for the current Fixed Cross, Saturn learns to come from heart is the way to create helpful karma. 

Working situations could also require innovative quick-thinking as well as bucket loads of charm to achieve satisfaction. All-the-while Saturn urges us to keep an eye on distant goals and a long term 38-year cycles (1982-2020), especially when methodically overcoming obstacles.  

5) The Grand Fixed Cross which shaped into being with the New Virgo Moon, 9^th September is set to stay until the beginning of November, to remind us of the quality of light and life within our collective human soul. For a Grand Cross to stay so long is rare, so we have some time to make the most of what it has to offer: this particular Fixed Cross emanates issues of freedom and closeness, as liberating Uranus in earthy Taurus opposite an about-to-go-retrograde Venus in powerful Scorpio, crossed with the fated nodal axis in Leo-Aquarius; turning this of cross transformation one moves from being selfish to selflessness.

This Fixed Cross highlights a critical spiritual mass illumination, when we become aware of issues larger than one self. It is a time of no turning back, as collective Spiritual intuition permeates the noosphere with an understanding of the brilliance of the human spirit and soul, particularly in relation to the extent of solar, planetary, and galactic forces.  

✰ Basically, now is the time to be aware of direction and influences, and get determined to not mess around too much. Use this current fixity to harness immovable intent. Unhook from old habits and find an inner freedom from being released  Also during the Fixed Cross it’s wise to develop an understanding of the plethora of system changes now taking place within the collective consciousness. Not that all systems are meant to be rigidly held in place all the time for anyone, including the light-worker spiritual warrior: rules are always made to be broken; but current celestial guidelines advise creating good karma and standing strongly in Spirit and developing intuition. 

6) Another features in the Full Moon horoscope worthy of mention is the ‘Mystic Rectangle’, a pattern often referred to as the place of practical magic; in this case the Full Moon and Spirit Sun are with planetary protagonists from the Fixed Cross, as the Moon trines the destiny-fulfilling North Node, which then Sun Sextiles, as Sun trines the Mars, South Node Black Moon Lilith conjunction, which in sextile to the Moon. It’s a tightly bound box containing much spiritual juju. 

While the Mystic Rectangle is generally helpful, raising the altruistic intention when dealing with issues of abandonment or aggression , and doing what is best for everyone, shows that compassion is actually a form of shamanic self-healing - for those giving and those receiving – everyone benefits from kindness.
And with that I wish you all a wonderful Equinox Full Moon. It would be also wonderful to see you at the upcoming C*I*A retreat in beautiful Uki, Australia, when we will be exploring how to connect and strengthen our personal connection to Spirit and Soul. Come! There are a few places left! And share in a place of beauty, trust and calm.

⊚ A Brave New Soul with the Disarming Charm ~> Full Aries Moon Oct 4 '17

“Listen to your anger, but don’t let it control you. Life is too short for that!” (12th Gyalwang Drukpa)
5 October 2017 ~ Sun in Libra ~ Full Moon 12°42’ Aries @ 18:40UT 
☾☼☽ This fiery Full Moon is in Aries, a most innovative sign of the zodiac that has a reputation for inspiring the brave and strong, steamy and hot headed: being swift to rise for cause, competition or challenge, but just as quick to come down and, if somewhat clumsily, carry on whatever he or she is doing regardless. Handling this emotionally independent rocking and rolling during Thursday-Friday’s Full Aries Moon is all well and good if you have speedy Aries or other fire signs (Leo or Sagittarius) prominent in your horoscope, as fire flashes back to centre at the speed of light – and out again, not before zapping opponents with the disarming charm then dashing off swiftly onto another life-illuminating, heroic adventure. 
☼ Other leading signs, such as Libra, Capricorn and Cancer, can take a lifetime of rumbling, seething or dithering before getting so fired-up. And in Libra’s current case, as the brilliant Sun in Libra is presently with the celestial messenger, Mercury, asking what everyone else thinks before making any major decisions might actually be worth something – a trick to maintaining successful relationships which we could all currently benefit from: to have information at one’s fingertips right now is actually a very good trait to have: because everyone needs to produce intelligent arguments to be taken seriously. More realistically, having what everyone needs to know at hand reveals a certain transparency that generates trust between people – which means people feel safer in negotiation – especially when the tendency with Mercury in Libra is to sit on the fence, seeing both sides, and still take time to decide. All the while Libra sweetens communication with pleasantries and curtesy. Decision making is never that easy for the sign of the scales, who insists upon weighing-up all options. Serenity seeking Libra knows, however, that true friendship is based on openness and TRUST; and keeping the peace often means achieving agreements in relationships where both or all parties benefit.
☼ Diplomatic Libra is a super-stylish Air sign that seeks harmony and balance in all spheres – and is especially cool and groovy in social situations; while Aries ignites the Fire element, inciting a spiritual warrior with a passion for the new into action. This combination of Air and Fire can also generate a lot of hot air. Something may well blow over this Full Moon. What, exactly? Well, volcanoes along the geophysical ‘Ring of Fire’ are already erupting – will that be enough to release any residual geophysical pressure (from the flares)? Or will there be more rumbling from a deep and demanding ‘T’ Square (Sun & Moon) to Pluto, Lord of the Underworld ? My understanding is that it’s good to err on the side of caution, even with an outward-bound high-energy Moon in Aries, go easy and seek help from professionals if needed. Bear in mind that while a heated Moon in Aries often has a short fuse, the smooth-talking Libra Sun can negotiate and pacify conflict with clever compromise and mediation. 
◯ This Full Moon is also the closest to the year’s September Equinox, which is traditionally a time of abundance, in hope and/or nourishment (though Harvest came early. As seasons change, so do our needs. It’s been a lunation of storms and flare-ups. At Equinox we witnessed hurricanes, earthquakes and no less than seven dramatic Solar X-Flares – the likes of which had not been seen since 2010! When Sun’s flares are Earth directed, then Mama Earth also shakes, rattles and rolls – and so do we; though how everyone ‘senses’ the intense energy of the flares depends upon individual levels of sensitivity as well as his or her particular situation and actions. Yet with a magic number of 7 Solar X-flares (almost unheard of!), one for every day of a solar week and colours of the rainbow, has meant supersonic Solar Winds have been carrying Sol’s electromagnetically charged ‘Light of Intelligence’ towards Earth for the past few weeks. As brilliant and beautiful auroras around Earth’s poles continue to testify (through the Full Moon) making this a magical, highly-charged, colourful moment in time.
Most noteworthy during this Full Moon is how both Venus and Mars in Virgo are now rosy morning stars, creating an innocent loving and healing union at the very same place the Sun occupied during its magnificent recent display of the X-flares. Sparks could again easily fly and kindle all kinds of ardour! Earthy Virgo Venus embraces an equally raunchy Mars, denoting an irresistible chemical attraction. So, at last, the ‘Cosmic Lovers’ come to meet again. These two planets haven’t been together for two years, since early November 2015, in these similar degrees of sensual, practical Virgo. Though Venus is astrologically considered to be in her 'fall' in Virgo, mixing wholesome meusili instead of magical Piscean mantra, she loves being of practical service. Together Venus and Mars are putting healthy pzazz back into love lives, albeit slightly a puritan version, with Virgo’s extra attentive punctilious eye for detail and desire to help, in the sense that many hands make light work. Again, check your own horoscope looking at 17-25 Virgo in regard to rolling up sleeves and getting on with the task in hand: putting the dynamic spark back into healing relationships (even if that relationship is with one’s ‘self’ i.e. within the areas of work or health). Perhaps an important relationship, project or diet regime began a couple of years ago, and could now do with an additional boost of warm, loving attention...  
Now what’s different to back then, however, is how both ‘The Lights’, Sun and Moon, are intrinsically and astrologically connected to the Lover’s sacred union taking place on the same day as the Full Moon. The Lights, along with Venus and Mars, illuminate healthy, respectful, relationships in which we enjoy closeness in peace and love, knowing freedom in love, with the freedom to love. Time now to invite Virgo practicality and mark time on the calendar to be with loved ones, especially if you have been working too hard or, for whatever reason, have avoided getting close to those you love, then this is the moment to redress the balance and cosy up to friends and loved ones. This need to be love is astrologically supported in many ways: because Venus is Libra’s ruler, and Mars is the Aries ruler; i.e. the planet that rules the Libra Sun, Venus, is opposite the planet that rules the Aries Moon, Mars. Thus, with all personal planets working together it creates a positive potential to attain healthy loving relationships – all we need to remember to that by serving others in a practical manner, we also serve the pure wisdom Goddess who resides in us all (yes, even guys have a smart feminine side).
October’s Full Moon also picks up the same 12-13 degree of the years’ major retrograde stations of both Venus AND Jupiter. Venus, Goddess of Love, went all the way back to retrieve what she had been lacking – self love - early March, at 12° Aries. Then early June, Jupiter stationed retrograde at 13° Libra to grow the love for others. Check those degrees out too, as the Full Aries Moon now spotlights the very same place where Venus became more assertive (early March), all the while the Libra Sun currently basks for a last time in Jupiter’s boons and blessings.
♃ ~> Be aware that bountiful Jupiter is also about to change signs; from Libra to Scorpio on October 10th until November 2018; not to be seen again in Libra until 2018. Instead of developing romantic love in relationship, Jupiter in Scorpio now begins to expand our understanding of more intimate and delicate subjects such as psychological insights, sex, death, and what devious people do to not pay their taxes. This shift of emphasis from social to secret, and possibly snug, will come into sharper focus upon during November’s Full Moon. But for now Libra’s romance and partnership, finance and business, fashion and beauty remain under Jupiter’s starry beams for a few days more.
Other aspects to take into account in this Full Moon chart:
1) A Cardinal ‘T’ Square between Libra Sun opposite (180°) Aries Moon both in square (90°) Capricorn Pluto, creating a tense kind of stand-off. Though I don’t think nuclear war is upon us – not right now, and I hope it never comes. I say that primarily because Venus is with Mars right now and diplomacy can work wonders, as Mars always needs to disarm when seduced by Venusian charms. Venus and Mars are also in a helpful Trine Aspect to the powerful but enigmatic Pluto: a show of diplomatic strength is called for to reach agreement in any kind of dispute with difficult, omnipotent characters. Pluto also recently stations to go forward when conjunct a Fixed Star ‘Rukbat’, indicating a path taken to evolve will be a sure and steady transformation. It’s a kind of corporate makeover that could take years to transpire.
2) A Mutable ‘T’ Square between the entwined Virgoan, Mars & Venus, opposite Shamanic Chiron in Pisces, all in T-Square to Saturn in Sagittarius: magically shape-shifting into various different forms until we find our ability to heal powerful but difficult emotions. Astral clue: this Mutable squares ramp up the universal LOVE-WISDOM for faith, love and commitment to work wonders when personally overcoming fear and envy.
3) At the time of the Full Moon, both Sun and Moon also make ‘adjustment’ aspects to Neptune, planet of miracles and magic, scapegoats and martyrs: the Aries Moon makes a short semi-sextile, while the Libra Sun throws a longer quincunx. Both aspects suggest that in order to make our relationships really zing, our spiritual understanding requires a little fine-tuning to find that being love is truly the Divine incarnate. Indeed, it may take until the New Moon in Libra October 19th to see how pure, unadulterated love shows we have the power to truly forgive and accept the past, at the same time be willing to open the heart to a dynamic and spiritually-fulfilling future – one where all beings get their needs met.
☼☽ One last note: because this is technically ‘Equinox Full Moon’, even though later than usual as we are already in October, it IS the Full Moon that will seem to start early and finish later than the usual three-day influence: this one shines above our heads for five-nights!

Enjoy! Wishing for clear skies! With Love on the moonbeams,
