The Aries Full Moon is still ringing, just like the whole Earth vibrates like a bell after a big quake. The Moon is still in Aries, after passing through full phase Saturday night — making a conjunction to outer-planet Uranus and a square to Pluto. If people have been acting a little strange, or if they seem like they can’t take the heat, that’s a typical reaction to a Full Moon. But this was no typical Full Moon — it’s been extra energized.<\/p>\n

If you’re feeling on edge or like you cannot sleep, that may begin to taper off after the Moon ingresses Taurus later today [at 7:26 pm EDT, after being void of course for a while, which it now is as of this edit Monday morning]. Till then the psychic environment may have an assertive, pushy or even aggressive feeling. One aspect that characterizes this is the Moon’s approaching conjunction to Eris, a Pluto-like planet (Kuiper object) that’s spending a long, long time in late Aries.<\/p>\n

That conjunction is exact at about 4:16 am EDT. It might feel a bit combative; you may even be getting weary of anger, or of pushing anything, or of interpersonal issues. If you are, remind yourself of that and make decisions that fit with your emerging values.<\/p>\n

What’s interesting is that the Moon, while conjunct Eris, is opposite Mercury and Saturn in Libra. (We are on a kind of Saturn alert, as it changes signs to Scorpio later this week.) So that polarized energy that a Full Moon comes with is finding additional sources of expression, even as it’s still in a loose — but very much present — opposition to the early Aries Sun.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, this is a good time to consider what you’ve been through the past few days and ask where you think you’re headed. The sky is brimming with potential right now; the Uranus-Pluto square (which the Full Moon ‘activated’ or brought to the foreground this weekend) is a big invitation to move your life along. That said, some may be experiencing this as conflict, tension and challenges.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It takes some conscious maneuvering to experience this aspect as energetic or spiritual leverage. If you’re just starting to pick up on it, you might go from sleepy to twitchy in the course of one day, wanting to catch up, spring ahead, get your life going, overthrow injustice and stop global warming all at once. You won’t be able to do any of this unless you get some inner focus and make some decisions — and you’re unlikely to be able to do it all at once.<\/p>\n

I am not suggesting that you wait until your life is in order, you’re healed and the Best Person You Can Be before opening yourself up to participating in what you know you’re drawn to or passionate about. Rather, I am suggesting that you get your priorities in order, that you clear a little space to take action (perhaps in increasing increments), and that you recognize how much tension you’re carrying around in your mind and body.<\/p>\n

Following your passions is about saying yes to yourself and something larger than yourself. That means letting go of all the ways you’ve talked yourself out of what you want to do and who you want to be. You cannot let go of that tension all at once. It takes a series of decisions, and at first they may feel awkward. You may feel guilty, like you’re betraying someone. You may feel ridiculous for caring, especially if the people around you don’t care and don’t see the point of why you do.<\/p>\n

The social aspect of what holds people back — and what helps them go forward — is worth considering. That fits the theme of seeing the many social aspects of Uranus square Pluto: how society’s changes and the changes of individuals are inextricably related. Thing is, you cannot wait for everyone else, and they cannot wait for you.<\/p>\n

And you cannot wait for you, either — especially if the thing you’re waiting for is to be true to yourself.<\/p>\n
