The Libran full moon comes to balance out the individual focus of the sun in Aries. Libra brings in the other, the companions on our journey. Friendship is often cited as the highlight of someone’s life when they are on their deathbed. For this full moon, you reflect on the kind of friend you currently are and the kind of friend you would like to best, first to yourself and then to others. Because Pluto squares this full moon, emotions are intense and interactions with others feel fated and transformational. This ultimately will build trust and intimacy with those you care about. It does take some psychological stamina to stay with the feelings and not run away or distract yourself.
Venus rules this full moon and is in Pisces, softening hard edges and allowing compassion to flow. With whatever vision and imaginings that came alive in you in the past week, did they involve others? And if so, have you talked to them about it? If you aren’t on the same page, this full moon shines the light on anywhere conversations are needed to close the gap. Be careful of trying to avoid, minimize, or slip past any disagreement. You can accept it and agree to disagree if need be. Saturn square the nodes wants you to be a grown-up and 100% accountable to whatever promises you make as well as clarifying your boundaries. You are building a strong foundation for your next steps by anchoring the relationships with your core team in truth and love.
Think back to mid-January, when Pluto was right next to the new moon in Capricorn. What did you seed then? And how is it going now, three months later? Check-in with yourself and celebrate what has worked well. Simply release what hasn’t worked as well. No need to use any mishaps to judge yourself or others. Chalk them up to the learning curve. It’s ok for you to have a safe space to experiment and try new things. It’s not a fair expectation that everything you try will work out. Use the compassion and visionary energy in the air to help you make any decisions you need to at this juncture. Remember to consider the original values that got you to where you are right now.
Questions to Ponder: How might I be a better friend to myself right now? What did I seed in mid-January that is moving to its next level of evolution now? In what ways am I living my values in my relationships?
