This weekend’s Full Moon is supercharged by disruptive Uranus, the newly discovered dwarf planet Eris, intense Pluto and assertive Mars. Wow! Explosive energies. Or transformative energies. It’s up to us. The Full Moon falls right into the lap of the intense Pluto/Uranus squares of 2012-2015. Have we woken up and evolved yet? Cathy Pagano
So at the Aries/Libra Full Moon, we work to unite these opposites of Self and Other. When the Warrior loves and is loved by the Goddess of Love, he becomes the Protector of Life. a warrior’s energy needs to be bound by Love, otherwise he just wars on everyone and everything. The strength and power of the Masculine needs the softness and heart of the Feminine to make the best warriors.~ Wisdom of Astrology
Later in her writings about this full moon, Cathy asks:
“So how do we hold the balance? As Jung would say, we need to stand in the tension of opposites, working to reconcile opposing needs, and wait until a third way opens for us. Then watch life change.”
Standing in the Tension of the Opposites requires that we become aware of both sides of the equation. The we is an observer to the other two parts_ a third part of the equation_ which allows us to see reality from a higher perspective. A perspective that is objective, that observes the pros and cons of the other two parts and has no judgement but has compassion for the feelings and the beliefs of each side. This allows a new path to open within us where we can make decisions from a higher place of consciousness_an aware ego_ and that ego can then connect with the consciousness of the Soul and the Spirit levels of reality for guidance and direction.
We are living in times where the old paradigm is falling apart! It actually already has on the inner planes but now that change has reached the material plane of reality so that it can be seen by all. We are moving from a plane of Duality Consciousness to a plane of Unity Consciousness and to do that we need to develop and observer, a third aspect of our consciousness that will move us out of seeing reality from a black and white perspective to a multicolored one_a multi-dimensional one. Voice Dialogue is a modality that has the tools to develop this observer. Here’s more on what Cathy Pagano has to say about this powerful full moon. ~ Blessings, Mary
More from Cathy Pagano
“Every year, the Aries/Libra Full Moon makes us aware of how we balance Self with Others. Aries fire leaps into the world, ready to take on any experience to achieve its purpose, which is the search for an individual identity—scientist, inventor, warrior, mother, teacher, writer, fisherman, tinker, farmer, artist… . There’s that Spring breeze blowing our imagination wide open! And because that’s Aries purpose, Aries energy is self-directed. What do I want? What will fulfill me? It’s ruler is Mars the Warrior, because we need both his desire and his will to grapple with life to get what we want.
As we hold the tension of opposites, can we develop a strong compassion, a kind strength? Once we embrace Eris, the Great Awakener will use the power of the Pluto/Mars conjunction to bring down heavenly fire to inspire us to be more heart-centered in our relationships.”
“Libra’s steady flow of air circulates our breath and connects us to others, motivating Libra’s purpose, which is to learn how to be in relationship with others. Libra is open to listening to, working with, helping and loving other beings and uses her ability to connect to others to bring fairness and balance to situations. Libra’s ruler is Venus/Aphrodite, the goddess energy of Love, Sensuality and Wisdom. The energy of connection.”
“So at the Aries/Libra Full Moon, we work to unite these opposites of Self and Other. When the Warrior loves and is loved by the Goddess of Love, he becomes the Protector of Life. a warrior’s energy needs to be bound by Love, otherwise he just wars on everyone and everything. The strength and power of the Masculine needs the softness and heart of the Feminine to make the best warriors.
So how do we hold the balance? As Jung would say, we need to stand in the tension of opposites, working to reconcile opposing needs, and wait until a third way opens for us. Then watch life change. What better energies to work with than the power of our will and the power of our heart’s love, since this is the time for us to stand up for the truth of who we are at the same time as we also stand up for other people, for our environment and all of Earth’s children. Hold both in mind until you figure out what you need to do.
This Full Moon is once again resonating with the waning Uranus in Aries/Pluto in Capricorn square. Revolution and evolution on a personal and cultural level. When we throw together the awakening, disruptive energies of Uranus with Eris’ warrior energies on this Aries Moon, we can certainly expect the unexpected this weekend. Full Moons facilitate an awareness of something in our unconscious that’s been influencing us. Our Shadow. A hurt, a pain, a grievance that shapes our actions. If we leave these unexamined feelings simmering in the unconscious, they can shape events in our outer lives, magnetizing experiences that will shake us and wake us up. Especially if we keep disconnecting from our hearts.
As we hold the tension of opposites, can we develop a strong compassion, a kind strength? Once we embrace Eris, the Great Awakener will use the power of the Pluto/Mars conjunction to bring down heavenly fire to inspire us to be more heart-centered in our relationships.”
