Full moons signify the completion, culmination of what may have been initiated during the previous new moon. While the recent Pisces-New Moon encouraged us to be inspired by our own dreams and driven by the eagerness to actualize our these dreams, this Full Moon casts its light upon who we are through the relationships we cherish enough to nurture and perhaps persons special enough for us to share our dreams with.

This Full Moon in Libra is intensified by a square with Pluto (transformation), who must insist upon a careful and deep look into our significant ties. With both the Sun in Aries (me; I) and Moon in Libra (we; us) challenging Pluto in Capricorn, major changes from the core are inevitable. Digging for truth. Assurances of commitments. Demands for honesty. Pluto will ferret out the truth and sever ties, if necessary. As if there isn't enough strain, Saturn, who is also in Libra, and Pluto remain under the umbrella of their own square which adds more pressure to the already tense celestial plane.

Elsewhere in the sky, Venus (love; ruler of Libra) is harmoniously aligned with Neptune (understanding) and Chiron (wounds). Whatever may be uncovered during the Full Moon period (next two weeks) may require big changes/promises/assurances to restore harmony within relationships. Neptune might help offer optimism, as Pluto and Chiron uncover what's broken.

This Full Moon occurs at 10 degrees of Libra. Those born within 3 days of October 3 or March 29 or with natal planets and/or house angles on or around 10 degrees of air or cardinal signs may feel the effects of this full moon stronger than others.
