Full Moon-April 19,2019-Washington, D.C.
This is the 2nd full moon in Aries. In addition, it’s Good Friday and the 1st evening of Passover so it’s an important day for many people. The theme of self versus others in the earlier full moon in Aries-Libra is still in play here. It is important to fulfill one’s needs-to follow your heart-go for your dreams but also consider the needs of others in your life, both friendships and romantic partners. It shouldn’t be a me versus them although this theme could emerge but the challenge is to integrate both so it’s a win-win situation for yourself and your relationships. That is the challenge and it’s not always easy.
In this full moon the Sun in Aries is in a challenging aspect to Pluto, the lord of transformation so it is a dramatic time for transformation both personally and in government and to add to that, the planet Uranus which is the “lightning bolt of change in the hands of destiny” as I’ve quoted before from Isabel Hickey is conjunct the Sun-within a few degrees- so this means we should expect the unexpected both in our own lives and in government. Already, the findings in the Mueller report have opened that door in government. Those people born in the later 3rd of the Cardinal signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn could be particularly affected by these aspects. It is a time for transformation-letting go of old stuff and habit patterns that no longer serve you to make room for the new. Some changes will most likely be out of your control so it’s go with the flow time.
On a positive note Jupiter, the planet associated with expansion, good luck and adventures is making a harmonious aspect to the Sun and it’s in the 8th house of transformation on this chart for Washington so there can be changes that are very positive and expansive bringing greater freedom and fulfillment in ones life.(particularly true for people born in the later degrees of the fire signs: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.
Mars, the god of war-the assertive energy planet-is in Gemini now so its strong expression of opinions but it’s in a challenging square aspect to Neptune-God of the sea-inner, dream world. Therefore, one should check the facts before expressing opinions as there could possibly be confusion
Mercury, the messenger of the Gods is in Aries conjunct Chiron, the wounded healer so it’s time to examine how one’s self-expression might be wounded from the past and to heal.
Venus, the goddess of love is in harmony with Pluto, the transformer so it is a beneficial time for making positive changes in relationships.
In government there can be some more unexpected revelations and oppositions to making changes. Also, there may be confusion over money issues. Ultimately, there should be some positives changes initiated at this time and carried out over the next 6 months.
