Shadows in the Moonlight
The Full Moon and its Testy Temper
The aspect of the Sun opposing the Moon is the classic celestial phenomenon the rest of the world calls the Full Moon. The Full Moon symbolically highlights tension between two conflicting desires, ambitions, requirements, or sets of values -- each a respected and necessary part of life, and each somehow problematic for the other.

The Full Moon in Aries
Opposing the Sun in Libra
The energy of this Full Moon brings a time of realigning what has gone to extremes in the ongoing and necessary balance between you and your relationships ... and the discomfort it causes is a great way to get your attention. The yen to just cut loose, do your own thing, say what you think, and push your ambitions to the end ... now must find proper balance with your alliances, the people you care about.

The Full Moon in Taurus
Opposing the Sun in Scorpio
Astrologically, the Moon in Taurus opposing the Sun in Scorpio brings up issues of property and wealth, control over possessions, and the ability to work with possibly diverse abstract values. It's literally "the other side of the coin" from the Full Moon issues we handled back when the Moon in Scorpio opposed the Sun in Taurus in May.

The Full Moon in Gemini
Opposing the Sun in Sagittarius
The Full Moon in Gemini opposing The Sun in Sagittarius puts a spotlight on how to fit personal convictions, life experiences, and beliefs into the larger social fabric of philosophy and moral rules where your ambitions and public image must operate.

The Full Moon in Leo
Opposing the Sun in Aquarius
Despite the winter season, the Full Moon in Leo brings a warm, playful, charismatic energy that wants to be noticed ... one that will make an effort to satisfy this yen. Metaphorically, it's time to assess your personal talents and compare them to your long-term goals.
The inner, emotional part of you wants applause, attention, and plenty of cheering from the assembled throngs -- for the deeply generous, highly visible, flamboyant character you can be ... when you try.

Articles on the Full Moon in Libra
Opposing the Sun in Aries
The Full Moon between the Aries Sun and the Libra Moon brings this situation front and center in ways that are rarely comfortable. This is the conflict between "your individual interests and wishes" and "other people's agendas and designs" ... in spades.
The energy of the Aries Sun is assertive, competitive, forceful, and independent. The energy of the Libra Moon is cooperative, sociable, concerned with other people, and wants everything to be "nice." ("Can't we all just get along?" ... whines the Libra Moon. "You're darn-tootin' we can, if you'll just get out of my way!!" ... growls the Sun in Aries.)

The Full Moon in Scorpio
The Full Moon in Scorpio
Opposing The Sun in Taurus
The opposition between the Taurus Sun and the Scorpio Moon represents the basic division between "what's mine" and "what's ours." The energy of the Taurus Sun can be exceedingly possessive, money-conscious, materialistic, and jealous. Some issue of possession and ownership, your authority over your material assets, the control you have over your financial support may be front-and-center for a while.

The opposition between the Gemini Sun and the Sagittarius Moon represents the basic division between "what I know and believe" and "what society says is moral and correct." The energy of the Gemini Sun under stress can be exceedingly fond of "sound bite mottos" and superficial, easy answers ... and there is a real tendency to snap off a quick one-liner that sounded good for half a second, and then hear the sappy, silly, stupidity of its content only when your own words ring back in your ears.

The Full Moon in Capricorn
Opposing the Sun in Cancer
This opposition between the Cancer Sun and the Capricorn Moon -- the Full Moon that graces the celestial landscape after the Summer Solstice, highlights the tug-of-war between the responsibilities you have to your private life, family members, and home situation -- and the emotional yearning for fame, acclaim, recognition, and accomplishment in your professional field and career.
If this is where you feel "you live" during this time every year ... well, this is the discomfort that will help you find answers to realign the balance -- and solve the problem, at least temporarily.
We'll meet this same polarity from the other side of the scale this winter, when the Moon in Cancer opposes the Capricorn Sun sometime soon after Winter Solstice. The tensions will be the same, but the priorities will be a little different. Nothing in life, you know, ever just "gets fixed and stays that way." (Yet, wouldn't it be nice if it did ... sometimes?)

More Thoughts on the Full Moon
in Capricorn
The opposition between the Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Cancer centers on security issues. When the Sun is in Cancer, your attention is directed toward your inner needs, family interests, and private life concerns. Wherever Cancer is located in your Natal Chart is where you want to feel "at home" ... and that's where your ego energy is focused while the Sun travels there each year.
All combinations of The Moon and Saturn, Cancer and Capricorn, 4th House and 10th House concerns are a reminder that external success and inner security are deeply linked ... and often that link is extremely fragile, requiring constant re-fortification.
These combinations include: Moon in Capricorn, Moon in 10th House, Cancer on the 10th House Cusp, Capricorn on the 4th House Cusp, Saturn in Cancer, Saturn in 4th House, Moon aspecting Saturn -- especially by conjunction, square, or opposition, or either planet aspecting the MC / IC axis. You will also feel these tensions during the Full Moon in Cancer opposing the Sun in Capricorn.
If this is a Natal Chart position, these are ongoing life concerns. If this is a transiting position, it is a temporary -- though possibly long-term -- educational experience.

t is notoriously willing to do anything for attention. The Aquarius Moon, on the other hand, draws its fuel from the highly independent and altruistic character that is the humanitarian of the Zodiac, the ingenious pioneer with his eye on the future, and the ground-breaking rebel intent on finding a better, more inventive, or at least a different way to operate and live, while teaching the world about individuality.
