The Aries Full Moon (13 degrees Aries) falls on Thursday October 5th at 11:40am PST. With the Sun and Mercury in Libra, this lunation in Aries charges the polarity point, bringing balance. Libra’s focus is on the other, Aries’ focus is on the self--neither is complete. Together, they represent relationship, the self-other dynamic, balancing the needs and desires of the other with the needs and desires of the self. This polarity also reminds us that we understand the self through the other, and we understand the other through the self.
The New Moon in Gemini, exact at 12:44pm PST on Thursday, May 25th, ups the pace for the coming month. The pattern of background energy shifts from mellow and sustaining to energetic and staccato. As the weather warms we naturally feel more active and curious. This month we are likely to be busy with many different activities, tasks, and social engagements. We leave the home, we leave the garden, we go out into the neighbourhood, we go out and explore. We do many things, maybe all at once.
There are no relationships without conflict, and no two people see the world in the same way. In the next few weeks, it’s likely that tensions in relationships will surface. But with so much energy in compassionate Pisces, there’s support for working through our differences, and for getting outside of our individual perspectives to understand where others are coming from.
