Full Moon in Libra ~ Sun in Aries
“I & I“
SUN IN ARIES
Full moon energy is one of flowering. When the sun is able to illuminate the moon completely, the moon shines in reflection to the sun. The Sun is exalted in Aries. This means the Sun is at it’s strongest placement within the 360 degree circle. The Sun represents Atma, the soul. The fact that the sun is exalted in Aries tells us that we are supposed to develop a strong sense of self in this lifetime. God does not ask anything of us other than to be ourselves. Develop our authenticity and shine. Let that be our gift to God.
With this full moon the provider of light, the Sun, is in the nakshatra of Ashwini . The ashwin twins are the celestial healers to the Gods, so this light frequency has the ability to heal and inject the life force of fire and light called tejas. Ashwini bestows great powers of rejeuvenation. Ashwini is also the ‘star of journey’, so it is a great time to begin an adventure.
Relationships are one of the greatest adventures we ever take.
Ideally when you have developed your personal confidence and strength so that you are brimming over with energy, you are ready to share with another, to embark on the journey of self reflection.
Once the self is complete, it seeks a partner to reflect back the love. The moon in Libra is all about the reflection. Libra does not seek to push it’s agenda, preferring to cooperate to find balance. Libra is happy when everyone else is happy. Libra loves to be the projection in partnership.
This moon is full in Chitra which means ‘the jewel’. The moon does not have light on it’s own, it requires the sun to come alive. Just as jewels require the light of the sun to flow through them to come alive, so does the partner require the light of your love to shine through them to make them come alive.
Your partner is your reflection, your jewel, your CHITRA.
This full moon is all about relationships.
The source of our wisdom is the Vedas. Here is what it has to say about relationships.
Shiva is the masculine force. Shiva holds the space. Shiva offers his masculine force for protection . He rests in stillness as the foundation. He does not seek to compete with the divine feminine. He understands his role is to provide the sacred space of safety.
Once the space is secure, Shakti can enter. Shakti is the divine feminine that enters the space to dance. Shakti seduces. Shakti causes the energy to rise.
Once the fire alchemy of seduction is ignited both parties are part of the flame of love. Both parties win.
This full moon is a time to reflect on the natural organic roles that offer our partners.
In this day and age there is a breakdown in the natural roles that we were designed to play. Men and women find themselves competing , even unconsciously. The moment the woman feels competition, the romance is lost. Men must remember that it is ok to hold the space for a woman; to support her, to honor her as a life jewel so that she may shine in the reflection of your life. You win. She wins. This is the essence of love.
If you observe the different full moons of the year you will find that they each have their own quality. The Libran moon is airy and has a bluish tinge and an energy of refinement.
In your own chart, knowing where Aries and Libra fall will increase your awareness of your dance with the greater cosmos.
Reflect and Mediate in Beauty.
Chitra is Tiger energy.
Namaste,
Paddi
