October 18, 2013 ~ Lunar Eclipse Full Moon Libra-Aries - BEING BRAVE IN RELATIONSHIPS!

Okay boys and girls, tomorrow is a Lunar Eclipse Full Moon of Libra-Aries. This means fiery fights, standing up for yourself, arguments in relationships, blow-ups, break ups or intensely getting down to the honest truths that may have been holding you back from having real authentic happy relationships.  At least it's NOT Mercury retrograde until October 21–November 10, 2013.  That's a bonus.


There’s no getting around the fact that this is about relationships, balance, and action. Aries is all about the Self. It’s about acting on behalf of the self, and championing the Cause. Aries is the Knight of the Zodiac, taking action. It is a cleansing fire, centered in the heart when things are as they should be. We all have Aries somewhere in our charts; each of us is a hero or heroine. Where this eclipse affects us personally depends in where Aries is in our charts.

Our adrenals may be getting a workout now. Change is threatening for some, and can bring out fight/flight responses. The Moon is the emotional self, and all sorts of childhood emotional wounds and habits can be brought into focus now. Relationships are the territory where this work is done. The Sun is in Libra, and as the earth moves between these two luminaries, it creates shadow. Blame can go around. Eclipses are themselves shadows, and so the Shadow may be projected out. Try to stay with what has truth and meaning—it is the only way. We just can’t get around this one. Only through. And on the other side? Only Time will tell, but I think it’s gonna be good!

With Mars opposite Neptune, there can be confusion, but it also magic and spirit. We are to not only use our intellects, but our intuition as well, which is strong. We must be wary at this time about over-sacrifice, as this is the tendency of both Libra and Neptune. Truly, there is a balancing act going on right now between the needs of the Self and the need to relate. Our individual experience matters. Eclipses bring things into states of radical change and super focus. Their results are usually quite unexpected! But when we ourselves are in alignment with our own inner truth, the outcome will also be in alignment. Indeed, this is a moment to bring things back into integrity. Crisis is also opportunity.

There are 3 more eclipses coming up, the next one is a solar eclipse on Nov 3. This means there is big change in the air. It may be experienced as an agitating, roiling emotional energy. Our hearts flutter, our bellies are uneasy. Sleep may be disrupted, dream life activated. Action is required, but with the Neptune/Mars in Virgo contact, it is action with compassion.

It is about how we direct our energies. We must feel with our bodies and hearts into what is the right action. The movement is like a flood, and we must respond to it. We must trust Life, trust ourselves. Deep down, we know exactly what to do. The Uranus/Pluto square perfects Nov 1st. This is another activating energy for both collective and personal change. 

Bella Christina explains it well here:
This full moon lunar eclipse in Aries will bring about sudden changes. Lunar Eclipses are the wild cards of full moons, expect some surprises. Aries is a fire sign and is ruled by the planet Mars. Mars is the planet of action, courage, passion, battle, sexuality, competition and drive. It is our warrior planet. This full moon in Aries calls for us to be Spiritual Warriors. We must have the courage in our lives to move forward and live our truth.

You may face sudden changes or surprising developments during this full moon. Relationships of all types will be the focus. Emotions may come to the surface easily. Also, anger or frustration may come up, let go of this in a healthy way through exercise or meditation. Deep breathing in and out can help with anxiety and stress during this intense full moon.

Also, full moons are a time of releasing. Letting go of old thoughts, patterns and habits that no longer contribute to your Spiritual Growth. Writing down what no longer serves you on a piece of paper, then burning this either in a fireplace or outside in a chiminea....letting go of any burdens, blocks and unhealthy patterns in your life.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by the intensity of this Full Moon ~ take a salt soak : 2 cups sea salt or epsom salt in warm soak for 20 minutes, then Cool shower off. Also, if you are pressed for time you can just cool shower off to cleanse your aura and energetic body.  Make sure to drink plenty of water during this Full Moon lunar eclipse in Aries. This will cool off the excessive fire and intensity of this moon.


Hang onto your hats folks, and enjoy the ride!  While the shit starts to fly, please remember to be gentle with yourselves and one another.
