fullmoon 28th march

[lumina]

Do we already have such a thread? If so I did not find it.







Wow! That Draco fullmoon - is that real? 😮

[lumina]

BTW I used true Node this time


my Draco MC: 24°48 Cap
my Draco Pluto: 28°55 Cap


Well it seems even more unreal for P honestly

his Draco Sun: 25°35 Cancer
his Draco MC: 26°56 Cancer
his Draco Moon: 27°16 Cancer


his tropical Juno: 27°39 Cancer
his tropical Venus: 25°55 Cap


See, what I mean? Whatever Draconic means or how it manifests, this seems to be rather attention-catching.

Well, the tropical fullmoon opposes/conjuncts my natal Pluto on 9 Libra (and squares my pr Mars on 8 Cap)
The draco fullmoon conjuncts/Opposes my Draco Pluto, but that is not always the case, is it? 

Is the reason for that mirroring, that the transiting NN is moving into opposing my own natal NN (it is still about 4 degrees off the exact conjunction though)?

Seems like it, because it's the moon conjunct your Pluto in tropical and the reverse/opposite -- sun conjunct Pluto -- in draco.

Each year at the Aries Equinox, I imagine the great mass of humanity bursting out of the starting gate like the bulls running in Pamplona – highly charged with vim and vitality, impatient to get on with the business of … what, exactly? As the Sun enters Aries and the energetic New Year begins, we’re never exactly sure. We’re long on energy, but short on perspective. At the Libra Full Moon (March 28, 2021, 11:48 am PDT, at 8°18′ Libra), our task is to cast the cool eye of appraisal over the ideas and ventures that have been initiated during this Aries season. Do they seem revolutionary and creative, or merely impetuous – even reckless?
Without the restraint and perspective for which Libra is famous, the unleashing of Aries energy can occasionally lead to real danger. My sister, born at the New Moon and with Aries rising, was a bristly, calamitous child. Once, impatient to be let in the house, she slammed her palm on the glass pane of the front door and cut her hand badly. On a particularly memorable spring morning, as we crept through a neighbor’s yard to get a look at their baby bunnies, she suddenly cried out in pain; when I turned to find out why, I saw that she had stepped on a large, iron rake, and a prong had impaled her big toe.

Her lack of caution occasionally got her into trouble, but still, you had to admire her spirit. Aries-like, she simply didn’t know the meaning of fear. She harassed her baby sister with real vigor, but she was just as fierce on my behalf when mean kids messed with me on the playground. And she loved an adventure. When our mother announced that we were moving 3,000 miles away to California, my brother and I crumpled in despair, devastated to leave our friends in Indiana – but my sister’s eyes lit up, and her toes tapped with excitement.

On the other hand… well, the blood. The cut glass, the punctured toe (and in later years, the thumb caught by the sewing machine needle; the hand neatly sliced by a broken water glass while she was washing the dishes). So while I applaud the je ne sais quoi of the intrepid Aries, I’m relieved to take a moment during this Sun in Aries cycle to rest, sip a cool drink, and meditate for a moment on the balancing attributes of Aries’ opposite sign – the measured restraint of Libra.

Where Aries is spirited, Libra is smooth. Aries rushes, but Libra glides. On the playground, Aries shoves a kid off the swing so she can have her turn; Libra sweet talks the kid until he not only vacates the swing, but agrees to push her while she takes her ride. Aries and Libra are each determined to get their way – they are, after all, cardinal signs, and like to be in charge – but they differ stylistically. Aries favors the direct approach; when Aries wants something from you, it is plain what it is and how he intends to get it. Libra, on the other hand, is a master strategist, flattering and charming her way to victory.

This is not to say that Libra’s approach is perfect. Libra’s job is to consider all possibilities before acting; but while Libra may have more perspective than Aries, this does not necessarily translate into great clarity about which course should be pursued. In fact, Libra can find herself overwhelmed by these possibilities, weighing first one, then the other, then the first one again… until Aries is jumping up and down in frustration: “Just! Choose! One!”

But while Libra’s careful weighing of options can be maddening, it is the perfect astrological antidote to Aries’ most unfortunate tendency: the failure to take other perspectives into account while dashing madly through life. It’s usually passion rather than a lack of caring that makes Aries behave this way. If you are a tad insensitive from time to time, or if your pursuit of some object, person, or goal occasionally blinds you to the wants and needs of others, then you are acting from the untempered Aries/Mars side of your nature. What’s needed at these moments is a bracing draft of Libra, the quiet voice of prudence that reminds you of the needs, rights, and opinions of others.

When we embrace our inner Aries, we can get so charged up that we don’t care who or what stands in our path – we just keep ramming into the obstacle until it gives way. This single-minded determination to overcome obstacles can be employed to invaluable effect. Formidable activists Cesar Chavez and Gloria Steinem, pioneering statesman Thomas Jefferson, and visionary artists Leonardo da Vinci and Vincent Van Gogh were born with the Sun in this sign. But as these famous examples suggest, the unbridled enthusiasm of our Aries instincts are often most effective when tempered by the Libran traits of strategy, diplomacy, and artistry.

Each of us possesses both Aries and Libra tendencies, although not necessary in equal measure. Often, with maturity, the youthful impulsiveness of Aries naturally gives way to the measured approach of Libra. This is very possible at this Full Moon, with Mars and Venus, the ruling planets of Aries and Libra, in good aspect to each other and in happy aspect to Saturn, the planet of maturity.

Where in your life are you an impatient Aries, charging out into the world with enthusiasm but occasionally in need of direction and feedback? (Look for the house in your birth chart with Aries on the cusp.) At this Libra Full Moon, introduce that wildish part of your nature to your cool-headed Libran alter ego. Saturn stands in the wings, offering restraint for your impulsiveness and helping you blend your creative zest with refined artistic sensibilities – and reminding you when to put on heavy shoes, to avoid getting a rake stuck through your toe.

Conjunct/opposed my Jupiter/Pluto opposition. I have a toothache in the back-left, where I broke another tooth just after Christmas. Waiting to see if I get a stimulus cheque, that will go to a dentist, and I've been mostly depressed and annoyed with myself re: my health, and not having a career, and annoyed at everything else. I have been sleeping, and started some seeds off, but it's late for that, and I still haven't got nearly everything started. Dad bought more wood for another large raised bed, but that wood cost $60, and I'm tempted to tell him to take it back, to get rid of the other beds, and just sow grass seeds, and buy some more trees to go around the fence. I'm tired of not being able to do what I want, of feeling bad, I'm mostly keeping to myself, and I almost shut down all social media the other night, just because. A friend I made through twitter - a former blogger - sent me her number, when I told her that I might be shutting it down, but I haven't responded yet. She is estranged from her brother, and I have no relationship with my sister, and she said if I wanted to talk, that I could contact her that way.

I was in my happy place for a night, the other night, as I cooked, and started off those seeds, watching Jane the Virgin on my iPad, as I cooked. I was out for a while this evening, but my tooth and left ear were aching, and I was tired, in pain, and grouchy. As soon as I got fries, and told dad that we could go home (before he got me my chai), I relaxed, and most of the pain went away for a while. Just like that. 

Oh. goody, the moon will be conjunct my Pluto by tomorrow afternoon, and the Sun was opposed it exactly when I was feeling grouchy. I am reading more, too, and have been all week. 

My lunar return was March 18th, and every single planet is on the right side of the chart. Pluto and Saturn in the 4th, Jupiter and Mercury in the 5th, Sun, Venus and Neptune in the 6th, Chiron conjunct the descendant, Uranus and the moon in the 8th, Mars/Node in the 9th. 

...and this Full Moon opposition is conjunct the ascendant and descendant of my lunar return (7 Libra is the ascendant = conjunct my own Pluto).

Haha, my brother did the exact same thing!!! It was not really funny back then. He also was managing to freeze his tongue as he was putting it onto the ice in the deep froster we had at home (He might have seen that in the movie "Dumb and dumber"). 

He is a PIsces Sun with Pisces ASC but he has a Moon-Jupiter-Uranus-conjunction in Sagittarius and a widish conjunction of Venus and Mars in Aries. lol

anela

hope you are going to feel better soon.

[Ava]

anela , hope your check comes! Hope your tooth isn't acting up.

Thank you for that article, I enjoyed it.

lumina ...well doesn't everyone get their tongue frozen onto things when they're young?

I was extremely accident-prone when I was little. My sun's tightest aspects are to Mars and Aries Jupiter. With two older Aries brothers. So sometimes their impulsive ideas backfired on me, like, "Hey let's do this dangerous thing?" and I'd say, "Sure, sounds GREAT!" That's probably where I got some of my original ideas about what I should be doing in my spare time, alone. I thought cheating death was just something people did as a matter of course to get the adrenaline running.

Haha. Well I can see that in my niece, too. Plunging into things head first.
My nephew is wild, but somehow more cautious.

I was more like him as a child. I did get my hand burned at a hot oven and hurt my knee badly as a teenager when dancing. But actually I have been always a coward.
. Except when we would "play pretend" I remember I would let myself fall off a bike while riding it because during the play I was being "shot".

But really a coward otherwise. Fear of anything. And then at times following a sudden reckless impulse noo e expected cause I have been always so careful. Lol

[Ava]

That's interesting lumina. I mean it's interesting because it's not. What did you DO as a child?

Nevermind, I know. Reading in several languages. Gemini SN, sun-Mercury, and all that stuff.

'Went to the bookstore yesterday and didn't feel like buying anything because it didn't seem "me" enough, except one book on Native American medicine which I'll try and find at a library. Usually I'm overly curious and spread myself too thin, so to feel "Meh" about everything was unusual. Then I thought, this is so Aries (right?), to be so in touch with my (MY) precise preferences that I couldn't bear to branch out.

And of course, a bookstore is a Libra thing.

So this reminded me of when I was younger and felt like writing a book. Maybe I should, if only to pass off to anyone who starts drilling me about my beliefs, I can just say "Here's the handbook." (Full Moon conjunct my 3H Pluto, "it's a long story.")

Them: "Why do you believe in astrology?"
Me: "Oh, that's chapter one. Sorry it's 700 pages long."

No but seriously here's my point, I think this aligns with the full Libra moon, that we have to know who we are before we can really integrate successfully with others. Lots of mindfulness required.

This full moon is conjunct my SR moon in the 4th, and I've spent the morning cooking for my Libra moon husband, so I think my work is done for now.
