The Libra Full Moon arrives this evening. The Sun provides the theme, and the Sun in Libra will make this a revelation about relationships. This opposition of Sun and Moon creates an opportunity for each of us to examine our relationships more objectively.
The Moon being in Aries provides the counterpoint of the kind of energy, the kind of understanding, that we always need to improve our experience of relationship. I like to call the experience of Aries as being the expression of our “presence” in life. Each of us is who we are, internally. But we present a different aspect of ourselves to the various types of people in our life. We present one kind of our self to our family, another to our friends, and another to our partner. We are always who we are, but we use these masks to better interface with the world around us.
The question then becomes, have we created the right masks, the right personas, for each person or group of persons in our life? When we do, then others find our presence welcoming…we neither “come off” too strong nor too weak. We bring to bear the right energy appropriate to each and every situation. If a situation seems overly nervous, we bring our calmer self to bear, and if a situation seems a bit slow, we call upon our more livelier self to stimulate the experience.
The full Moon in Aries should be experienced as an opportunity to examine our masks and see whether or not we are revealing ourselves truly in our relationships. Are we making the best possible case for who we are, or is it apparent that there is some misunderstanding and we need to clarify ourselves to one another?
The full Moon says look at your relationships and see whether you are present in them. Or are you trying to be something for someone, or they are for you, and that is why circumstances are coming to a point of stress now? Take a deep breath, and then look at yourself and see whether or not you like the relationship you have.…with yourself.
