This Full Moon happens on
Friday at 7:38 pm (est.) and shows up as a grand Lunar Eclipse in Aries. This
Eclipse brings in changes surrounding relationships and independence.
Every eclipse ups the ante
and sets things in motion. It’s the plot point of no return, where the only
possible movement is ahead due to awareness. Frankly, when an Eclipse happens,
there is no option but change.
In the case of Lunar/Full Moon eclipses, doors
from the past are slammed shut; light is shined on previously hidden facts (now
if these facts were hidden because you kept your head in the sand, don’t worry,
the cosmos will be gentle with you)
Eclipses come in sets and
behave like a serial; two signs that are each other’s opposite/mate has an
astrological conversation that lasts for 18-24 months. Every Astrological pair
has a specific conversation about a specific issue that goes on at all times;
Solar Eclipses (these are amped up New Moon’s) and Lunar Eclipses (powerful
Full Moon’s) highlight the “talk” and forces us mortals to be a part of the
conversation.
This Lunar Eclipse happens in
Aries, kicking off the newest Eclipse Series happening between Aries/Libra. On
the Astrological Wheel, Aries rules the first house of ME, of what you need and
want RIGHT NOW, and Libra rules the 7th house of WE, of marriage,
partnerships and oddly, open enemies. Pioneering, fiery Mars rules Aries, while
Libra is ruled by beauty loving Venus.
Because this eclipse happens
at 25 degrees Aries, late Aries Sun/Risings (April 18-23) as well as late
Cardinal signs such as Cancer, Libra or Capricorn, will feel this eclipse
strongly.
This Eclipse will begin the
conversation about what it means to be independent in any relationship, and how
to find a way to put down the need for Autonomy in order to reap the goodness
of partnerships. This Eclipse may also show you where you need to break free
from a relationship/job/belief that may hamper your freedom and
self-expression. If you keep putting off living your life until you attain some
goal, this Eclipse will shake that plan off; Aries is all about living life
now, not later.
Dreaming and working towards living a life
without restrictions takes some planning; luckily on this Eclipse we have Aries
ruling planet Mars living in get ‘er done Virgo. Some may be gnashing their
teeth at this slow down (Mars in Virgo is definitely a pumping of the breaks)
but it’s a way for us to pull back and see how we need to plan our great escape
or our grand escapade with a partner in crime. We also have Venus in fellow
fire sign Sagittarius to give us perspective of the how big and wide the world
is…and how nearly anything is possible.
Look, illumination and endings
and new beginnings can be so scary, can seem to loom so large; the perspective
that Venus in Sagittarius offers brings comfort, while Mars in Virgo shows us
the steps we need to take to get through this newest breakthrough.
