Full Moon-Sept.2,2020-Washington, D.C-1:22 AM
There’s a lot happening on this Full Moon-some of which is positive and harmonious and other aspects which are confusing and difficult. As usual, I have done the chart for Washington, D.C. so we can begin by looking at it through the lens of government. I’m seeing a mystic rectangle-a very positive aspect between 4 planets or in this case between 3 planets and the Ascendant in Cancer indicating a strong desire to provide nurturing and sustenance to people at this difficult time of Covid19. With the Moon in Pisces it shows there is compassion being expressed and the sextile to Jupiter in Capricorn indicates abundance of practical aid along with real service offered, shown by the Sun in Virgo. There is a sense of responsibility and abundant help being offered by many in the congress, particularly in the House.
However, there are opposing forces here as Mars, the planet of aggression, is in a T-square aspect to Venus in Cancer and Saturn in Capricorn indicating a strong, angry, and insecure opposition to those offering aid to the needy and jobless. Mars is also in an inconjunct aspect to Mercury, the messenger, showing some negative and corrupt communications happening and this mercury also has hard square aspects to the lunar Nodes further emphasizing the difficulties in clear communication between different parts of the government so there could be a continuation of the impasses that we’ve seen already between those trying to help all the people badly hurt by this pandemic and those who only want to further enrich the already rich.
On the brighter side, there is a positive trine aspect between Mercury and Saturn conjunct Pluto showing an effort to transform and improve some of the avenues of communication in the government.
On a personal level this is a particularly potent time for those who have their Sun, Moon or Ascendant in Virgo or Pisces. Doing compassionate service and helping those affected by the pandemic is important and rewarding. In fact, it’s a good time for everyone to do that in whatever way is feasible for you. It’s also important to continue being cautious as far as wearing masks, keeping social distancing and not going to crowded gatherings. Family time is especially important. We all need to be cautious not to react to provocations by those who don’t agree with us and not let one’s own insecurities arise and make one feel the need to be right in every conversation. Compassionate listening is a good practice at this time and it’s a challenge for us all.
With Saturn and Pluto having its last conjunction in Capricorn and in positive aspect to Mercury in Virgo, it’s an important time for changing the patterns in your life through communication.
