Ready for a Clean Break | Starcana Cosmic Dirt

Sun enters Aries, Spring Equinox, Virgo Full Moon. Welcome to brand new week my friend! A turn of the wheel is taking place as the powerful Sun (ego, identity) moves out of the sympathetic waters of Pisces, and into the active fires of Aries on the Spring Equinox, Wednesday afternoon March 20. During the next four […]

Full Moon in Libra and the Spring Equinox

Leon Wyczółkowski

Leon Wyczółkowski

The March 20th Full Moon (0 deg Libra) occurs at 9:42 pm EDT, a few hours after the Sun’s Aries ingress (and Spring Equinox) on the same day.

This makes this Full Moon a powerful turning point – watch for a shift in balance (Libra) in some area of your life. If you have an accurate birth time, the house this Moon occupies will be the area where this happens.

Gathering momentum from the Spring Equinox, which is a time of resurrection and new potential, the culmination of this Full Moon will mark an abrupt change ( and rebirth) in dynamics, especially since the Moon makes a jagged inconjunct to Uranus at 0 deg Taurus. Any aspect to Uranus means change must happen now, but the adjustment demanded by the inconjunct means you must balance an overhaul of resources/security/values (in the Taurus area of your chart) with results in the Libra area of your chart. Taurus and Libra are both ruled by Venus, but they express her contrasting energies – subjective survival (Taurus) versus objective relating to others (Libra). So there may be an abrupt shift involving you versus them or your values versus your relationships.

And, we see the Aries Sun conjoining Chiron, so this culmination will also involve something painful, awkward or vulnerable. A “weakness” may be exposed as an imbalance occurs. Since the Equinox is about equal hours of daylight and darkness, there will be a corresponding struggle to achieve a new balance.

Mars (ruler of Aries) in Taurus makes a trine to Pluto in Capricorn on March 20th, giving you something to power through any difficulties. Mars/Pluto aligns external actions with hidden power, and in a harmonious trine we have a smooth flow of transformation and passion through determined actions. Keep trying, keep moving ahead, and make it happen. Tap into the change that’s happening.

Venus (ruler of Libra) in Aquarius is applying to a square with Mars, exact on March 21st. Here’s more information on the relationship tension that will probably come up – actions will be at odds with what (or who) you want. Being controlling or possessive (as you try to limit someone’s freedom) will not get you what you want. Keep this in mind as you work with the Mars/Pluto energy – you can’t control other people This may be part of the painful (Chiron) issue that’s exposed.

When the rulers of an opposition (Aries/Libra) form a square, the turning point will be driven by crisis. There will probably be tense or unpleasant moments associated with this Moon, but they will be the fuel that catapults you into a new season. Resurrection/birth is not a painless process, but once you push forward the light increases.

Dreaming of the Unthinkable | Starcana Cosmic Dirt

Good day my friend! If a tsunami of chaos spilled over from the transformative eclipse, you may find yourself struggling from the intense results as the lunar vibrations continue to trickle in. Mercury Station Retrograde. While fear and desperation may have driven us toward a direction that appeared to be safe… incoming bouts of confusion […]

February 28th, 2019: Taking Gentle Control

Anders Zorn

  • Sun in Pisces square Ceres in Sagittarius (9 deg)

  • Waning Sextile between the Pisces Sun and Capricorn Moon (10 deg)

  • Venus in Capricorn square Pallas Rx in Libra (29 deg)

Waxing Sextile

The Sun/Ceres square can illuminate tension around nurturing as Pisces’ release/vagueness clashes with Ceres in Sag’s enthusiastic (and pushy) expressions of care. As more care is offered the situation may become less certain. Too, a discordant truth (or loss of faith) about mothering or nourishment may be revealed.

The Waxing Sextile can provide some help as maturity and commitment (Capricorn) gives form to what’s vague (Pisces). If you’re trying to care for someone or nurture a project/potential and are frustrated by what’s undefined, this sextile encourages you to take control by gently (this is not about lowering the hammer) steering events. Step in as the compassionate parent and do what needs to be done.

Venus/Pallas

Venus/Pallas suggests some relationship tension as rules about partnerships, money or values clash with social strategies. Pallas is in a Venus-ruled sign, but Libra wants everything to be nice and pretty while Venus in Capricorn is all business. Strategies used to appease or obliquely win a battle will not blend with stricter (and more direct) definitions of what the other person wants.

Consider who’s in control and what has greater value: politeness or authority? Pallas’ Rx status is a hint, because this means strategies are currently under revision.

February 21st, 2019: A Difficult Day For Relationships

  • Moon in Libra opposite Chiron in Aries (0 deg)

  • Waning Inconjunct between the Libra Moon and Pisces Sun (2 deg)

  • Libra Moon inconjunct Mars in Taurus (5 deg)

A difficult day for the Libra Moon and relationships in general.

The Moon/Chiron opposition can trigger some painful issues, including feeling out of place, unloved or unappreciated. The mood will be very, very sensitive and hurt feelings are likely.

The Moon then moves into a difficult Waning Inconjunct, presenting an adjustment to the results of February 19th’s Full Moon – awkward dynamics of give and take, balance or compromise must be factored into the Full Moon’s culmination. You may not want to acknowledge a relationship issue, but it cannot be ignored.

Finally, the Moon makes another inconjunct, this time to Mars. Subjective, stubborn actions that preserve or encourage growth will need to be balanced with the above relationship situation. Someone may not agree with what you’re doing, or perhaps there are accusations of selfishness. Taking any action may feel inappropriate, but while it may feel like a struggle, a compromise can be reached.

In general, be prepared for challenging, one-on-one exchanges today. You’ll have to put in some extra effort to keep things civil.
