Full Moon-April 29,2018-Washington, D.C.

This full moon is challenging us to integrate the different aspects of ourselves: The down to earth sensual, materialistic part represented by the Sun in Taurus opposite the deep feeling part symbolized by the Moon in Scorpio. These are both in square aspect to the Nodes of the Moon: The North Node in Leo symbolizes the ego part of ourselves that shines out to the world-the leader in us that wants others to follow us and the South Node in Aquarius represents the part of us that is a friend and humanitarian and wants to help the collective. Together these four poles form a cross which is called a grand cross and represents a challenge to integrate these seemingly contradictive qualities into a magnificent whole: moving in the world while shining our light and love to others as a friend with generosity and awareness of our deepest feelings and recognizing that part of others plus enjoying the beauty and sensuality of life as well. The planets Mars and Pluto which are powerful energies for transformation are conjunct in Capricorn where the energy is vey focused and in a harmonious aspect to Jupiter, the planet bringing good luck and abundance which is still in the sign of Scorpio, sign of deep feelings and transformation . This full moon is a moment of high energy and potential for growth and transformation as long as one stays open to change and doesn’t cling to old habit patterns.

The chart is done for Washington, D.C. and it looks as if more secrets will be emerging, particularly related to money and misuse of power. The issues of ego gratification versus humanitarian concerns will continue to be highlighted in this administration. With the planet Uranus squaring the Pluto-Mars conjunction there could be a sudden and unexpected event related to exertion of power by those in positions of authority but hopefully the humanitarian aspect will predominate.
