The Full Moon in Libra
Opposing The Sun in Aries
by Rebecca Brents

The Full Moon always occurs when the Moon is in the sign directly opposite the Sun in the Zodiac. Hence the reason The Full Moon always rises in the East as The Sun sets in the West.

In astrology, an opposition between the Sun and the Moon always indicates a hyper-sensitive situation, where emotions are on full display, and "other people" are more easily able to jerk your strings and get on your nerves. It's also a situation where options are more readily available -- but so are ambivalence and confusion. You may see life more readily from "another person's point of view" ... but you'll also feel constrained to take this other perspective (and these other people) into account, when that may not be convenient -- or even agreeable for you. The feeling of division ... within yourself ... and between "you and them" ... mirrors the testy, irritable mood of this time.

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.)

Aries wants self-determination and plenty of elbow room to follow its own designs; Libra wants companionship and company. Aries feels like its trying to fight off a swarm of bees; Libra feels rejected and unloved. And so it goes. These two energies simply do not mix well. This is the split between your ability to act as an independent, self-governing individual ... and your ability to work as a member of a team, cooperate in relationships, and do your share in supporting partners.

You can see the problems ... and the division. It's virtually impossible to "do your own thing" ... if you have to take other people's needs and preferences into account. And it's tough to be a team-player if your competitive spirit keeps showing you visions of how much more you could achieve if you took off on your own, if your rugged individualism urges you to blaze new trails ... rather than fret and worry about keeping everybody in the group together and keeping everybody happy, and if your impatience gets the better of you to the point you no longer care about hurting other people's feelings, being cooperative, finding the right compromise, or even being polite!

Under stress, the energy of the Aries Sun becomes impatient, pushy, aggressive, and self-centered, while the energy of the Libra Moon becomes manipulative, passive-aggressive, exceptionally sensitive, and feels "used and pushed around." With everyone feeling these two conflicting attitudes ... the atmosphere is charged with the potential for problems, or at the very least a sharp exchange of words. This is very much a time of rebalancing "your needs" and "everybody else's needs." And working with these two divergent impulses ... these two strong ways of "managing life" ... in your own character, even temporarily, can be just as uncomfortable and upsetting as trying to merge the two happily in real life -- and when other real life people are involved!

So, when the Full Moon in Libra opposes the Aries Sun, you'll redefine (and distinguish between) your ambitions and your self-awareness -- and those of your partners and folks in your close relationships. The several weeks after this Full Moon occurs will highlight your need to compromise between what you want ... and what your partners want from you, between your image of yourself as an free, self-regulating person and what you need to give to your relationships -- perhaps in order to keep them in your life.
