Libra Full Moon (Egg Moon) 2008

March 21: Libra Full Moon, 2008

Scales of Justice

Sol in Aries opposes Luna in Libra at the second degree. This Full Moon falls into a cardinal grand cross pattern with Pluto in Capricorn and Mars in Cancer. Important changes are taking place that affect the world globally (Pluto at the second degree of Capricorn). Public places, as well as domestic spaces (Mars in Cancer) could erupt in violence. Take care: Avoid trouble.

On the positive side, a Pisces stellium trine Jupiter in Capricorn lends a measure of idealistic thinking and stability to counter-balance the potentially violent energy in this chart.

Retrograde Saturn is still trining Pluto and now sextiles Mars in Cancer, so there is very good potential to positively control emotional eruptions with the desire to transform our limitations.

In addition, retrograde Saturn in Virgo also opposes Mercury and Venus in Pisces, suggesting that an effort to go backward and return to building up a strong foundation must necessarily be balanced with our more idealistic thinking in regard to actualizing our dreams.

Although this chart does contain the potential for violent energy to explode (and it very well could in the public or international arena), the same chart also contains the means for positive and lasting personal transformation for an individual who chooses to use the energy of restraint to carefully and harmoniously restructure systems of control, whether or not said systems be personal or political, within or without the boundaries of self.

In terms of full-moon revelations, the recent resignation of crusading attorney and former New York State Governor Eliot Spitzer will probably prove to be a very important event in US history, leading to further economic deregulation, with its attendant political corruption.
