Full Moon-Oct.1,2020-Washington, D.C.

This Full Moon chart continues showing the stress that was seen in the New Moon and the Autumn Equinox: Mars is still retrograde and making a square to Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter-3 of the major planets. Mars is the planet of action and aggression and when its retrograde, there is some constriction in its energy. With the hard aspect to Saturn who puts the brakes on aggression and Pluto who pulls Mars into the psychological realm, this is not the best time for moving forward even though enthusiastic Jupiter is involved. This is a time for slowing down and taking stock of things-making careful plans for what to do next in your life and what steps need to be taken in preparation.

The Moon is in Mars’ sign of Aries showing strong feelings are involved along with Chiron, the wounded healer. This is another indication that one needs to turn inward and confront one’s emotional baggage and see what needs to be released and healed. It’s a good time to talk with a therapist or astrologer or anyone who is an empathetic listener. The Sun is in the opposite sign of Libra so there needs to be a balance between relationships and fulfilling one’s personal needs.

Neptune is in a positive aspect to Jupiter signifying a time to show compassion towards oneself as well as others. Mercury in Scorpio is opposite Uranus in Taurus so flashes of insight will emerge as well as unexpected events.

I have done this chart for Washington, D.C. and the ascendant there at the time of this Full Moon is in the sign of Aquarius, the humanitarian as well as the rebel. It’s exactly opposed by Venus in Leo showing the need for love and admiration by an audience. I assume this this will mean Trump campaigning in front of big crowds and making unrealistic promises but often opposed by people in the government who are trying to help all the people needing assistance at this difficult time. He will also be expressing a lot of anger shown by the Retrograde Mars squaring Saturn and Pluto and the Chiron conjunct the Moon in Aries indicates acting out his insecurities.

This month will be a challenging time.
