MARCH 3-5: CHALLENGING LIBRA MOON

MOON ENTERS LIBRA at 3:20am EST on Saturday, March 3 and remains here until 1:19am Monday, March 5. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Opposite Uranus in Aries. Ruled by Venus this Cardinal Air sign reflects Balance, Beauty, Justice of Law and Relationships. The Opposition to Uranus, which carries the Archetype of Separation, tends to signify the breaking apart of the delicate balance for which Libra strives. Reconciling the Opposites is the goal and for the Libra/Aries axis we want to be able to be our unique selves within the relationship. Expressing one's true desires while also being willing to compromise is the test. Look for a creative way to do just that! Venus can symbolize What We Value and includes money issues as well as self-worth. These arenas are also likely come into play during this Moon period, so try your best to remain clear and grounded about what you value. The Self and the Other tend to be at odds if we begin a relationship during this Moon period and it will take both partners drawing on their highest consciousness to resolve issues. Uranus also rules expanded awareness, those aha moments of clarity, so if you feel you're up to the task, go for it! Otherwise, actions initiated now are likely to have CHALLENGING resolutions.

LIBRA SCENE FOR THE DAY: Lady Bird, 2017; Director: Greta Gerwig. Laurie Metcalf and Saoirse Ronan are so well-cast as the at-odds mother/daughter duo in this contemporary coming-of-age comedy. This scene is just one in a series of daughter Lady Bird (Ronan) expressing her values and desires and her mom totally not getting her. I had really high expectations for this film - and while I did laugh more than once, and appreciated it more the second time I saw it, I was kinda generally disappointed at the schtick-i-ness of the set-ups. I guess I wanted more substance...What can I say...a lot of people I know loved the film...and this is one of the best/funniest scenes from it.
