On Wednesday at 5:27 am EDT, a powerful, high-voltage Libra Full Moon takes place with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Aries — pushing us to express ourselves with honesty and authenticity, even if it might shake up the status quo. This energy has the potential to be intense, calling us to consciously choose how we let it manifest — as confrontational or creative.
Aries is a busy place over the Full Moon, with the Sun conjunct Venus and Uranus in addition to being opposite the Moon. Also, Mars in Aries is square Pluto in Capricorn. That’s a lot of internal energy needing somewhere to go. It may come with the feeling of a building pressure, like a Coke bottle being shaken up. When the cap comes off, the Coke rushes out in a fizzy explosion as the pressure is released. Like that Coke bottle, we’re moving through a moment of pressure release. The key is to direct it constructively.
The Sun in alignment with Venus and Uranus is bringing a bold spark to our feelings and how we express ourselves. Isabel Hickey describes Uranus as “[representing] intuition that comes like lightning in a flash of knowingness.” She adds, “[Uranus] always changes the ‘status quo’.” With this conjunction in Aries, the sign of ‘I am’, we are called to be free to express our authentic selves regardless of what others think. Freedom does not come from permission given by others; it starts with us allowing ourselves to act in accordance with who we are.
Uranus can have an erratic quality. I suggest not making change for change’s sake, simply to be different. Rather start with something you know is authentically true for you, and make small changes in your behavior and actions based on that fact. With Mars square Pluto over the Full Moon there’s a caution to be careful of quick tempers or reacting from a place of anger.
