Mars, Full Moon chart ruler of Aries

The planet Mars plays a starring role in this Full moon chart. Not only is Mars the ruler of Aries but the signature aspect of this Full Moon too. Planet of action Mars is in intense dialogue with the Capricorn stellium.

So what does this mean?

Mars is all about action, motivation, acting on impulse and passion. Mars is ego, the development stage of the terrible twos, which is the first act of a child asserting their independence from their parents through their tantrums and infantile rage.

As an adult, Mars at less conscious expression can be expressed as a lack of patience, wanting it all lack of cooperation, short term fixes, and a demand for instant gratification.

Yet Mars is currently retrograde from 9th september to 13th November. This affects the way in which we go for what we want. Our action, passion, drive and energy is more focused within in an, internalised way, rather than directed into the outer world. It is an ideal time to rethink our actions and re-actions.

Mars retrograde is an ideal time for reworking an old project reviewing and planning a new direction, and hatching a plan.

Saturn, cosmic taskmaker of life lessons here on earth

Saturn in astrology shows earth lessons, how we are graduating to the next stage. Learning the rules before we break them and doing the work before earning the rewards. It is the earth school of evolution and graduation. It’s the wisdom and experience that comes from age and experience, as well as perfecting our craft through time. It is our personal history and collective history that forms the foundations from which we branch out and reach fruitions and new heights.

The message from the universe is to do with our actions, what drives them and how best to channel and direct our energies in challenging times. When our normal movement and action is restricted.

Rather than being fuelled by ego and the self, actions can be based and driven by the collective, taking other people into account.
Pluto is known as the higher octave of Mars. Whilst Mars is all about the ego and Pluto at its most conscious manifestation is driven by soul urges.

Pluto, transpersonal Planet of metamorphoses

Pluto is lord of the underworld, Hades in mythology. Pluto symbolises rebirth. To have a rebirth and renewal of spirit involves descending into the underworld of your psyche. like a snake shedding its skin, parts of us are left behind metaphorically. When Pluto is playing an important role collectively and in our personal lives, like it is now, with the ongoing Saturn Pluto conjunction and Jupiter Pluto conjunction, it indicates a time to confront and regenerate that which is ready to change. They are times to eliminate that which is outworn, that which we have outgrown, ideas, concepts, a relationship, a habit?

It destroys and deconstructs what is no longer efficient, secure and honest in governments, finance and laws;

Despite the crisis, it is an innovative time for taking that leap forward; though it is challenging for those who thrive on control and ego. We have opportunities to make significant changes for our own personal evolution, releasing what is no longer relevant to our life path and embracing the new.
