Full Moon in Aries

In A Bind: Full Moon in Aries

We're in the midst of Venus Retrograde, at the second Full Moon in Aries within a month. Self-hood and autonomy (Aries) vs. fairness and togetherness (Libra) are magnified to the max, with backward Venus cautioning us to care for ourselves and not blame others for unmet expectations. We may feel compelled to give in or give up. Yet the North Node, point of destiny, joins potent Pluto to reveal a new way of looking at things. What might this mean for you?

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

This second Full Moon in your sign brings closure to the money and self-esteem issues you’ve been dealing with lately, Aries. You may feel galled about an unfair situation that seems to block your abundance and well-being. Yet a look within reveals that this is a long-standing pattern for you. The way out is to assert your career ambitions, believe in yourself and ask for what you really want in a confident, not contentious, way.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

You and a mate or partner may have different agendas at this Full Moon, Taurus. You need to assert your autonomy, while your significant other (or people in general) keeps trying to draw you deeper into obligations. Arguing what’s fair or right won’t get you anywhere; the way out comes from rededicating yourself to your long-term goal. The soul-searching you’re doing thru mid-Nov. will help you figure out how to get there.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Your dilemma at this Full Moon, Gemini, is whether to bow to others’ work demands or take a much needed rest. Why not do both? Take a break to do something active, spiritual or restorative, then you can return to your work refreshed and re-inspired. You’ll soon be moving into a higher financial status, perhaps via funding or another’s support. Keep an eye on your higher destiny and the coming wealth, to stay on track.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

This Full Moon may polarize you, Cancer, between the need for intimacy with someone special, and the urge to pitch in for a community cause. Or, if single, you may feel a driving need to find a partner. Rather than stressing, relax into the intense energies you’re feeling, and let your intuition guide you. You are making yourself ready for what you desire by preparing to become the person for whom this great adventure can happen.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

You’ve been struggling to balance home and work lately, Leo, and this Full Moon brings the challenge to a head. Better health and a more harmonious home life should be your highest goals now; if that means changing jobs or lowering the volume on your social life a bit, you’d be wise to think about doing so. Being of service to yourself and others rather than aiming just for fun or glory will put you on the path to true happiness.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Your phone lines are humming at this Full Moon, Virgo, as people contact you from near and far to check in. It’s wise to be as independent as you can now while still accepting help if needed -- don’t let yourself be cajoled into doing what you don’t want to do by someone in your immediate environment. You’re headed toward a more exciting love life or a new creative venture -- let the desire to reach this goal be your guiding light.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

Issues of financial responsibility between you and a mate are apt to rear their heads at this Full Moon, Libra. Try not to get caught up in what is fair, who is not pulling their weight, etc. There is a deeper process at work, which is transforming your unconscious, even ancestral issues about money. Trust this process, even if your foundation or home situation feels shaky. Outside support or a loan you request could lighten your load now.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

You can feel the start of your personal new year approaching at this Full Moon, Scorpio. It is indeed time to turn over a new leaf, especially with regard to your physical image and interactions with significant others or clients. Clarity comes in a flash, as a call, email or bright idea brings fruition to whatever you set in motion several weeks ago. Don’t wait for a partner to jump aboard or quibble about who should do what. Just act!

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

There’s a flurry of creative or romantic activity at this Full Moon, Sagittarius. This may be the result of your commitment to a group or joining an online dating site. Though you might feel a bit shaky about finances or your self-esteem, allow friends and loved ones to boost your confidence by asking them for what you need. An imaginative project you mastermind has the potential to go all the way; get your team together now.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

You are reinventing yourself at this Full Moon, Capricorn -- or at least moving forward with a personal goal that may not have been clear to you up till now. A friend or colleague may frustrate you, however, either by waffling or making demands you can’t fulfill. It may seem selfish to go your own way now, but if that’s where the creative juice is, then go for it! Romantic sparks are apt to fly if you open yourself to pleasure now.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Various factions at home and work have you in a tug-of-war at this Full Moon, Aquarius. The way to resolve the dilemma is by taking time out for yourself. You need to calm your nervous energy through a spiritual practice like meditation or yoga. Once you are centered, you’ll be able to handle your demanding boss as well as put out fires on the home front. At the very least, taking a quick afternoon nap will do you a world of good.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Committing to a big dream or social cause at this Full Moon will help you get clear about your long range direction, Pisces. An idea or insight suddenly clicks, perhaps while surfing the Net or talking with a relative. You have felt for quite a while that something wasn’t fair, and now you’re ready to take action on it. Enlisting legal aid or the support of powerful friends will help you move forward—but make your own decisions.
