Moon Opposition Sun in Libra - the Full Moon Energy
We are integrating the new sense of self that began with the new Moon in Virgo, where we made inner adjustments. We are now bringing this adjusted self to the outside world. We are learning to incorporate this new sense of self in our relationships.
The backdrop:
Pluto Cap Squaring the Nodes Aries/Libra
Pluto ® in Capricorn continues to square the nodes of the Moon. The SN is in Libra, and the NN is in Aries. This configuration is the underlying intention of our human evolution- to change the way we have related outside of ourselves to more self-driven entities that show up to seize the experiences that capture their attention. It is a challenging endeavor for all of us. It represents a skipped step to resolve before evolving toward being secure in ourselves. We are used to working in the outer world very differently. We have rules and structures that have become limiting to our inner worlds. Many of us would rather stay home and do what we want.
Saturn Retrograde in Pisces
Saturn has almost returned to the beginning of Pisces, where we get a second look at how the outer world affects our connection to the Source of all things manifest and unmanifest. Saturn retrograde is accelerating the dissolving of the external authority and providing us with the energy to write our own scripts. We will set boundaries and take responsibility for our actions or inactions.
Neptune Retrograde in Pisces
This alignment teaches us that inspiration comes from within. We will experience periods of meaning and no meaning. When purpose comes from outside of us, we become disillusioned. There is excitement and meaning when we happen upon divine inspiration from within. We muster the energy to follow it, our sacred connection with the Source.
Uranus retrograde conj. Jupiter retrograde in Taurus
Uranus is the planet of acceleration. The energy moves so fast that structures break apart and transform. In Taurus, we are talking about the acceleration of the survival instinct. Jupiter retrograde speaks to an acceleration of our personal beliefs and philosophies. When it is conjunct with Uranus, we are breaking away from the perspectives and truths of our culture to explore and expand our own.
Venus in Leo square Uranus ® in Taurus
This alignment speaks to some tension related to how we relate to our authentic selves concerning the acceleration of our survival instinct. As we break free from the cultural norms of survival, we are learning to incorporate our needs and what our hearts tell us about the need to be authentic. This alignment supports the culmination of how we have shown up in the past when relating to the world outside of us.
Mars Conj. SN
Mars is in a closing Phase to the South node in Libra. Mars in Libra is about showing up and being present in relationships. In a closing Phase to the SN it speaks to how we have shown up in the past in our relationships, and it is coming to an end. It is in opposition to NN/Chiron in Aries that is accelerating a new way of showing up concerning sensitivities we have to do so. We are integrating the ending of the old way.
Chiron Conj NN in Aries
Chiron represents sensitivities we carry related to past wounding. When we become aware of this sensitivity, even though we can never rid ourselves of it, we can work with it to break free of its hold, and then share it with others to help them to heal. In Aries, we as a collective are sensitive to striking out on our own, doing what we desire without regard for anyone or anything. We have been so conditioned in this way, that we don’t do it at all. This has created the imbalance between self and others. The conjunction with the north node is pointing to our direction forward; spontaneous and instinctive behavior that is generated from inside ourselves. Taking that instinctual step forward is a sensitive issue, it will always be sensitive but being aware of it will decrease our sensitivity and allow us to push beyond.
Moon Aspects
Moon Conj. Neptune ® new phase
The inner sense of self is in a new phase in conjunction with Neptune ® in Pisces. This energy speaks to an acceleration of finding meaning from within ourselves due to a direct connection to the Source. We are taking this connection to Source and beginning a new phase concerning our inner world.
Moon sesquiquadrate Venus in Leo
Our inner world begins a creative transformation in the social sphere when we meet our needs to self-actualize as our true selves.
Moon Semi square Uranus in Taurus
This is the last semisquare of the cycle. Here, a new crisis within the soul begins. A change in the way we have seen ourselves in the past is interfacing with our newly adjusted selves of the future. There may be the desire to withdraw into the old ways, experiment with our newfound selves, or both, which can cause inner conflict. This is the energy between this new self that we are exposing to the world and the acceleration of breaking old patterns in the way we have related to ourselves in the past as it is beginning to become part of us. So, where have you adjusted yourself in the past couple of weeks? It feels new, yet we are beginning to experiment with the outer world. Are you feeling the conflict between the old way and the new? Jupiter retrograde is in a closing phase to Uranus, allowing an accelerated expansion of our beliefs about how we can relate to ourselves differently. All are aiding and supporting us to grow into a new version of ourselves.
Sun Aspects
Sun trine Pluto
The Sun part of this Full Moon cycle shines its light on our relationships outside ourselves. As we shift the inner self, the outer self automatically goes with it. As we take this time to incorporate our internal adjustments to the external world, the bright light of the Sun highlights the outer way we shift our relationships with others. The trine to Pluto in Capricorn is creating a flow state between the outward expression of the changes we've made in the way we relate outside of ourselves and the shift from the rules of the outer authority to our inner authorship. Can you think of some internal adjustments you've made since the New Moon and how it has changed how you relate to your friends, work partners, a job, or even your mate? Where have you decided for yourself what boundaries you need to feel safe, and how does it feel when you are implementing them? The trine is making the flow more accessible for you.
Sun Semisquare Venus in Leo
This is the last semisquare of the cycle. In this aspect, a new crisis within the soul begins. A change in the way we have seen ourselves in the past is interfacing with our newly adjusted selves of the future. There may be the desire to withdraw into the old ways because it feels safe, or to experiment with our newfound selves, or both, and this can cause inner conflict.
Sun sesquiquadrate Uranus Taurus
The energy of the semisquare focuses on the movement of energy from outward to inward. There is a clinging to the freedom of the outward power. The inner world is where we have experienced the adjustments from the New Moon, which begins to become part of us. We must take in the energy of our adjustments to make them a part of us; this is the focus of the aspect between this Full Moon and Uranus. As we bring our self-adjusted inner world outward to where we share it with others, it accelerates and breaks old patterns in how we relate to ourselves. Now, it is beginning to become part of us. We may continue with the outer movement, but the energy draws us inward to incorporate our changes. It is how we grow.
What does it all mean?
It means that we are in a process of ongoing development and evolution. We are evolving individually and collectively to advance ourselves and humanity. The Full Moon emphasizes the growth and development of the inner adjustments that we began in the New Moon cycle. During this Full Moon, we bring these adjustments to the social realm. We act in a manner that incorporates these changes. They get reflected to us when we relate to others, our families, friends, bosses, etc.
We are experiencing the backdrop of Pluto and the nodes, which show us the soul's desires and depict what the soul is currently working on. Pluto ® in Capricorn points to the transmutation of emotional attachments to the societal structure; we are accelerating beyond being guided from the outside. The nodes of the Moon are in Aries and Libra. The south node is in Libra, outlining the past ways we have seen ourselves and become used to that sense of security when relating to others. The North Node in Aries is pointing out the future self-development.
Where we are emotionally growing toward finding emotional security within ourselves, the key is changing how we relate to the outside world. This Full Moon is a step toward that. As we shift ourselves, it reflects the change in our relationships.
The outer and social planets are also retrograde, accelerating us toward finding meaning and truth for ourselves, helping us develop the inner authority needed to guide ourselves, and breaking old patterns in our beliefs about survival and how we can meet our needs. The inner personal planets are helping us adjust our thought processes, relate to ourselves in a way that expresses the joy from within, and change how we relate to ourselves and others. This is what the road to self-empowerment looks like.
