Libra Full Moon

4/7/20 FULL MOON in LIBRA (18º 45’)
7:35pm PDT 

On Tuesday we have Mars square Uranus, hinting at potential volatility, some level of dysfunction, inner or outer revolution, or maybe an assertive expression of our individuality. Mental planet Mercury forms a sextile with Pluto and then Jupiter and the Libra Full Moon also connects with them. Pluto rules the realm of the underworld and always brings a major serious tone. Jupiter is deep faith and brings increase or excess. Mercury governs connections, communication, and mental confusion. The sextiles with Mercury could emphasize major imbalances that we experience in the collective as well as personally.

The Pluto/Jupiter conjunction was exact at 24º Capricorn on Saturday 4/4/20, and we will continue to be under this influence and feeling the effects of it. We have the underworld ruler as well as topics of death, endings, and rebirth (Pluto) being increased, amplified, or exaggerated (Jupiter). This sounds and feels intense and uncomfortable. It was no secret that this year was going to be extreme, as we arrive at a changing of eras, a critical point of no return from the immense changes that are unfolding. We are witness to and participants in the world’s current crisis. And individually we experience the new enforced solitary confrontation with our true selves, all pretense and polish wearing away, our hidden depths brought to the surface for inspection. Our faith is tested, we may lose hope or we may be reinspired into our spiritual beliefs and practices now. We may be dealing with our so-called shadows more explicitly, or entertaining our demons more frequently. We grieve, retreat, reach out, blow up, shut down… our vulnerabilities are exposed and our limitations pushed. There does exist the possibility of transformation, after what may be or feel like annihilation or elimination, and that may be the promise of the Pluto/Jupiter conjunction if we can make it through. 

Libra Full Moon is a call into relationship reflection. The Libra impulse is to move and work toward harmony, balance, and compromise, and is a sign that learns and grows in these specific areas. At this already impactful full moon, in these already extreme circumstances of being sheltered in place during a pandemic and economic and emotional collapse, this Libra moon calls us to accept the invitation into quiet communion with ourselves, a descent into the shadowy spaces of our psyche and heart, and be as honest and gentle with ourselves as we can. You may feel emotional upheaval, deep heavy grief or stinging sadness, you may feel heightened nervous system dysregulation, or just feel more sensitive to things. You can look back into your journals and see what was happening in your life and relationships at the new moon in Libra about six months ago; these themes may be revisited. With this full moon, relationships are under scrutiny and many issues may need to be acknowledged or addressed. Try to find the point of balance with Libra’s scales, and look consciously for the beauty even in the hard times.

Here’s a little wild moon wisdom to consider for this full moon: 
◇ There is no “right way” to experience your experience- you only have to show up for yourself and practice being present. 
◇ Feelings are meant to be felt. 
◇ Practice listening to your intuition and to your body-knowing (gut instinct). 
◇  Be a student of your breath and breathing, observing often and regulating the breath when necessary.

Affirm: I am whole and holy, wise and worthy.

Jupiter/Pluto Conjunction Exact on 444

4/4/2020 
(444)

MARS moved into Aquarius at the beginning of the week. The next day, the fiery planet met up with SATURN. Mars (action and will) conjoins Saturn (barriers and boundaries) at 0º Aquarius, the sign of logic. These two planets are regarded in traditional astrology as malefics, and acknowledging that is important. It is true that stress and frustration are generally felt when dealing with either planet and they both are challenging teachers. Mars can stir up crisis and Saturn creates constraints certainly, but these are natural conditions and necessary for growth and experience to develop. Mars is an activator and initiator, the beginning, and Saturn is time, completion and finality. It’s also helpful to understand that both planets have high vibrational sides to them in addition to their shadows, and their energies and strengths can assist and compliment each other; Mars is able to inspire and push through stagnant, stuck shadow Saturn while Saturn is able to regulate and modify the wrath and recklessness of shadow Mars. Pay attention to where and when you need to forge ahead versus retreat and regroup.

VENUS entered Gemini on Friday, which may shift our love natures into a more mental, curious and maybe flighty state. Gemini thrives in conditions of communication and information. Allow for plenty of intellectual exploration and discovery. On Saturday, Venus forms a trine to Saturn in Aquarius. This introduction into Saturn in Aquarius is expanding our capacity to find logical and innovative ways of connecting and communicating while distancing in isolation.

Saturday brings the first of three JUPITER/PLUTO conjunctions, this first one at 24º Capricorn (exact at 7:45pm CA time). Pallas is also right there. We'll have the next two conjunctions on June 29 and November 12. Jupiter is the energy of more, excess. And Pluto’s realm is death, elimination, transformation. These astrological associations sometimes manifest and are exhibited metaphorically and sometimes literally. There may be news of spread or growth (Jupiter) of loss and death (Pluto) from the virus, or maybe expansion of and increase in hope, supplies/resources, treatment, or cure related to the pandemic and economic collapse, bringing us closer to a shift and transformation. On a personal level may we have compassion for what we have long suppressed and ignored, the shadows we have neglected, that are now surfacing and require tending. Pluto can show us where our core wounds are and allow us to transmute or alchemize them, or conversely can "trick" us into deep despair and cynicism or power trips. May we tap into a sense of supreme grace collectively as we are confronted by this momentous time of shift, as the current power dynamic crumbles and is dismantled. (The USA is in the midst of its Pluto return, from 2008 until 2024).

It may look like chaos around us, and feel like chaos on the inside. It may be this way for a while. Don't despair or give up hope. Our Jupiter conjunct Pluto prayer or affirmation might be: 
May we grow and transform personally and globally into our healthiest, most empowered, and most joyful and thriving versions imaginable. 
Amen. Aho. So mote it be.
