Tonight’s moon reaches fullness in the archetype of the lover, peacemaker, diplomat, and artist. Libra’s evolutionary goal is to create harmony and balance both in its relationships and environments.
With the moon in Libra, relational themes are highlighted. The ruler of the full moon, Venus, sits in its home sign of Taurus. Venus in Taurus seeks connections with those who bring us peace, ease, and a sense of comfort; those that we can rest in pure silence with.
The full moon sits opposite the sun in Aries, the archetype of the warrior, daredevil, and trailblazer. While Aries represents the self, independence, and being assertive, Libra represents the other, our ability and desire to connect with others, and being able to hold opposing views.
The shadow side of Aries is being overly dominant, assertive, or hyper-independent while the shadow side of Libra is being overly compromising, indecisive, and co-dependent. While we’ve all cultivated a level of independence (Aries) in our lives, having supportive relationships can bring ease to our mind, body, and environments (Libra/Taurus). The full moon highlights opportunities for bringing balance between the two.
Not only is the sun in opposition to the moon, chiron (which represents the “wounded healer” or a wound), and Jupiter (the planet of faith and expansion) all sit together in the sign of Aries. Chiron in Aries represents a wound in our sense of self and courage (Aries), while Jupiter in Aries speaks to having faith in yourself and being able to overcome obstacles (aka our resiliency). The moon in Libra brings a soothing balm of peace to the wounded warrior (Chiron in Aries). It teaches it to lower its defenses, to surrender to peace, and it serves as a reminder that it doesn’t have to go at it alone. Having an ally by your side can make things easier.
Under this lunation, reflect on what side of the scale you lean more towards, and why, and then make the necessary adjustments to balance the scales.
