Your Natal Chart & this Full Moon in Libra

First thing first. If you want to know where New + Full Moons are occurring in your specific chart, you’ll need to pull your chart here if you don’t have it already. You can also learn much more about your Natal Chart through the Intro To Astro Course (included in this membership).

You’ll notice the numbers outside of the wheel. This is the degree of your House Cusps. Every sign has 30 degrees, 0 to 29. Like I mention in the Intro To Astro Course, I use Equal Houses, which means that every House Cusp is at the same degree.

This Full Moon occurs in Libra at 26 degrees. So, for example, if you have Libra on your 6th House Cusp at 20 degrees, this Full Moon would fall in your 6th House. However, if you have Libra, let’s say, at 29 degrees on your 6th House Cusp, you’ll actually have this Full Moon in your 5th House .

This adds a layer of interpretation for how this Full Moon (and all upcoming lunations) will affect you personally.

Danielle’s Libra Full Moon Reflection

“But, she knew, you didn’t have to marry your soulmate, and you didn’t even have to marry an Interesting. You didn’t always need to be the dazzler, the firecracker, the one who cracked everyone up, or made everyone want to sleep with you, or be the one who wrote and starred in the play that got the standing ovation. You could cease to be obsessed with the idea of being interesting.”
― Meg Wolitzer, The Interestings (one of my favorite books)
“When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.”
― Tom Robbins
“To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow - this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage

This Full Moon in Libra, square Pluto, with Libra’s ruler Venus in Pisces, can have us in somewhat of a dream state, as our darker impulses, shadows and compulsions make themselves known.

A lot of what passes for spirituality these days is simply escapism, a fantasy play. We all carry darkness and light, our particular shadings revealing our vulnerabilities and humanity.

Pisces, which we have a lot of right now (Mars, Venus, Neptune and Jupiter) is the romantic idealist, the dreamer, the compassionate and sensitive artist, the healer. It’s everywhere and nowhere. Libra is the lover, the diplomat, the engineer, the beautifier and host. Both of these signs prefer not to rock the boat. They’d rather get along. Pisces will slip away, Libra will effort conviviality. It’s more active than Pisces. But they’re both peacemakers in their own way.

Pluto in Capricorn is still decimating the structures of our lives, the outdated and ultimately empty external forms of validation. The shedding offers new skin, new dreams, new aspirations. Still, the process can be intense. There may be things we’d rather not look at, rather not see.

Depending on our unique make-up, we may avoid conflict or ugliness or the darker side of life. Or we may run to it, mining the manure for all its fertile richness. Either way, there’s no end point. There’s peaks and valleys, ups and downs and whatever this moment, right here, is offering.

Relationships, as one might expect with a Full Moon in Libra, have been the topic with clients. The fantasy vs the reality, projection, need vs autonomy. We hear “relationships are mirrors,” but do we really take that in, do we really metabolize it? There’s no formula. No endgame. And it’s not just about us, what we need. It’s listening deeper, harder, stretching and expanding, giving. It’s being changed, being teachable, admitting blind spots and weaknesses. We need others and others need us. We find our way to ourselves and to one another through honesty and heart. it’s a constant discovery, a constant negotiation. There is no other way.
