The continuing energetic shift happening through the Uranus/Saturn opposition – the opening mantra for the Cosmic Story of change – gets kicked into high gear by this full Moon. Mars in Pisces just opposed Saturn in Virgo and will be uniting with Uranus in Pisces in a few days. More on that below.
The Sabian symbol for the Sun at 20 Aries is: A young girl feeding birds in winter. A new feminine attitude of nurturing and caring for life’s spiritual insights during times of death and lack will enhance life. Nurture your intuitive wisdom.
The Sabian symbol for the Moon at 20 Libra is: A Jewish rabbi in a tiny room full of manuscripts and books, performing his Duty. This concerns the power of the Word to transform consciousness. Through the lens of our spiritual paths, which includes ancient wisdom as well as inner experience, we know what we have to do.
If our purpose is to feed the birds (spiritual messengers or intuitions) in our lives, make sure you have a firm understanding of the power of words to enlighten, to enthrall, to heal or to hurt. What truths have finally hit home for you? How will that change your life?
This Libra Full Moon has its ruler, Venus, still retrograde in Aries. She’s being purified in new fire, truly reborn. The Cosmic story says we need to understand love and connection differently. We need to have a strong love of Self as well as a strong love of the Other to help us in this transformative time of change in the world. We have problems that need solving, as well as the wisdom to solve them. But will we do it?
Mars is traveling through Pisces, and coming into range of his April 15 conjunction with Uranus. He already had his meetup with Saturn on April 4. What did you do on 4/4/2009? When Mars is in Pisces, he dissolves back into the ocean of the collective unconscious, and resurrected when he re-emerges in Aries on April 22. The last time Venus/Mars conjoined was at 16 Libra in late 2008. What have we learned about our relationships since last September? How do we measure up when we relate to others? What habits and stuck feelings need to be released? Especially anger, resentment and fear.
The old Venus/Mars cycle will end when Venus and Mars unite again on April 21, just after Venus goes direct at 30 Pisces. At the very last degree of the zodiac. This is a marker for change. This conjunction of Venus and Mars will work its magic in the waters of the collective unconscious. Watch for what develops in your life!
With Mars in Pisces, about to re-emerge in Aries after a date with Venus, we will be picking up the speed of change as he touches both Saturn and Uranus. How did that dissolving masculine energy bear the tension of opposing Saturn in Virgo? Saturn will bring up old patterns and either set you struggling again, or if you let Mars dissolve the old patterns, Saturn and Mars together can build new ones. Once again, old vs. new.
