Every Full Moon is an opportunity
for increasing awareness and, ideally, making breakthroughs. This Aries-Libra
lunation reminds us that individualism and partnership live on two ends of the
relationship spectrum and that we can learn how to comfortably navigate from
one end of it to the other. Instead of polarizing me (Aries) and we(Libra) and
acting as if they are totally separate, this Full Moon connects them.
The general interpretation of a
Libra Full Moon, though, does not tell the whole story of this one. That's
because this Sun-Moon opposition resonates with the ongoing, earthshaking,
world transformational Uranus-Pluto square, which is the dominant astrological
signature of 2012-15. During this Full Moon Uranus is conjunct the Sun and
opposite the Moon, triggering surprises that can put cracks in relationships.
Pluto forms tense squares to the lunation, dredging up issues of power and desire
that have been buried in the unconscious. The presence of these disruptive
outer planets pushes us beyond current boundaries and into unfamiliar emotional
territory. Their purpose is to see relationships in a new and different light.
Uranus square Pluto is a conflict of
freedom and control, of liberation and desire. How much of one are we willing
to give up to achieve the other? The answers aren’t simple but these disruptive
transits will open doors to new possibilities, if we don't resist them. Still,
loving Venus and active Mars are joined with the Aries Sun and opposite the
Libra Moon, which tends to tilt us away from accommodation and toward
independence. Perhaps this means that relationship issues are not so much about
understanding, adapting to or changing others, but are about changing
ourselves.[1]
This is how
Jeff Jawer describes the current Full Moon. Shown above is the Full Moon chart
drawn for Pyongyang , North Korea . Notice that the Full
Moon is powerfully placed on the horizon axis implying that the dynamics described
above would be felt fully in Korea
. It is, therefore, not at all surprising to see the tension escalate.
But what
really is more surprising is how perfectly the Full
Moon’s Chinese asterism, Tchao-Yao: The Brandishing of Arms applies to this case[2]!
