Libra/Aries full moon total eclipse

With Sun in Libra, early autumn in the north, looking forward to love, beauty and justice, the Moon has crossed into Aries on its monthly cycle, spring spirit emergence (3:06am Pacific time Tuesday 10/7), where it will be full, a total lunar eclipse, early Wednesday 10/8, 3:51am Pacific time.

At a full moon eclipse, the moon, exactly opposite the sun, passes through the earth's shadow, turning "blood" red. This is an extremely powerful one, drawing on big energy for the activated expression of revolutionary passion (grand trine in fire signs--Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Leo, Mars in Sagittarius). Mental flow is backtracking and internalizing right now, undermining momentum with reflection (Mercury retrograde until 10/25). We must be flexible, giving in to shifting tides.

We are completing a time of emotional intensity (Saturn in Scorpio), with deep feeling healing sensitivity (Neptune and Chiron in Pisces). Recent reinforcement of nature's balance (grand cross in first signs of seasons) is bringing new developments rooted in deep transformation (Pluto in Capricorn). This full moon is energized for the inspired breakout of personal passion, revolutionary creative expression seeking true harmony. Though it could unleash the dark forces behind unhealthy tension, it is deep power for thriving and renewal cutting loose from resistance to initiate a new year of flowering fertility.
