New Moon in Aries: 2026

Dane Rudhyar suggests 
that the only true Creative act is the creation of Meaning.
In this moment of intensive Aries energy, 
with its Cardinal and Monadic tone, 
we all (exclusively as individuals) have the opportunity 
to define and refine our own Reality.
Any use of projection, co-dependence, 
or other exogenous frameworks of orientation
will likely lead to dissolution or emptiness at best. 
I'll opt to not invoke the worst.

Soon after its conjunction with the Sun in Aries, 
the Moon transits conjunct with Venus in the Sign of Taurus, 
a planet associated with attractive force 
and all manner of The Feminine function, 
and the ruling planet of Taurus as well. 
Following that, 
the Moon will transit conjunct with Uranus 
in the very last degree of Taurus. 
Uranus brings a note of potentially disruptive 
or surprising energy to the arena, 
and with the considerable supply of planetary energy in Aries, 
the ominous versions of what that might entail are clear. 
However, there is also a more optimistic perspective 
regarding the possible outcomes of this dynamic, 
which I am openly advocating for here.

This is a moment 
for all Beings of Consciousness and Volition 
to declare Autonomy and Liberty.
This is a moment for all Enlightened Beings 
to leverage their power of Creativity.

○◙The Creation of Meaning as a Liberative Act.◙○
◘•And the Liberation of Meaning as a Creative Act.•◘

It matters not the conditions and context in which you exist.
The Freedom to Create Meaning 
in, and from, such circumstances 
is ever-present.
And the Freedom to Create Meaning 
which supports your Ultimate Liberation 
is on the table.
Nobody can take it from you;
It is already given.
But it is possible for you 
to miss it, to squander it, to refuse it.

Uranus will shake up the stage, 
providing an opportunity to make your move,
and the scene will never be the same.
Aries is surging forward.
The Train is leaving the station 
and has no scheduled stops on its course.

Full Moon in Libra, 2026

The Moon is Full in the 13th degree of Libra, at 9:12 pm CDT on April 1, 2026.
As all such Lunations entail, the Sun opposes from the 13th degree of Aries and continues its trajectory toward peak power at the Summer Solstice. 

Aries is the Sign of Individuation and Indivisibility.
Libra is the Sign of Relation and Balance.
Symbolized by The Scale, 
Libra has a reputation of being interested in fairness.
And being ruled by Venus, 
Libra is indeed often sensitive to such issues.

However, oftentimes this sensitivity and interest 
compels Libra toward pathological people-pleasing 
and over-extending of their energy. 
In an attempt to correct for perceived imbalance, 
Libra will run to provide counterweight on one side of the scale, 
creating a temporary and temperamental illusion of restored balance. 
Of course, the moment Libra is called to another endeavor 
the scale swings back or worse yet, 
having acclimated to the presence of Libra, 
the other side of the scale has been bolstered 
and the initial imbalance is exacerbated.

A difficult, but worthwhile, lesson for Libra to learn is this:
The Scale is not a tool for rectifying imbalance.
The Scale is merely a tool for measurement.
And any effective use of The Scale requires a zero-balancing.
For Libra natives to meaningfully embody and enact their archetypal role,
they must cultivate a profound sense of self-equilibriating.
If Libra will not perform the zero-balancing, 
then The Scale will not be accurate.
Without an accurate measurement, 
it is impossible to be sure if an imbalance even exists.
And even if such an imbalance exists, 
efforts at rectifying it will be grounded on faulty data.

Libra carries a naturally reflective nature.
And like all reflective phenomena, its nature can distort the reflection.
If the surface of a mirror is curved, it serves a distorted image.
If the surface of the water is disturbed, ripples jumble the reflection.
In a suboptimal scenario, 
Libra becomes a carnival mirror.
A deliberate (or at least tangible) distortion, 
which is fun and games when such misrepresentation is disclosed,
but potentially catastrophic and utterly dysfunctional 
when it isn't accounted for.

The art of Libra is learning to hold steady in the face of chaos.
To not micro-manage with Virgo impulses.
To establish capacity to observe rather than entangle, 
like the Eagle expression of Scorpio.

Yes, Libra is symbolized by The Scale 
with its two measuring receptacles.
But The Scale itself hinges upon a single, non-moving point.
This is the Dharma of Libra.
To perpetually center, rather than take-sides.
To become a self-equilibriated space 
from which measurement can be made.
Only then can Libra perform the archetypal duties of The Scale.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This Full Moon in Libra is especially noteworthy, 
given that the Sun is anchoring the Zodiacal space 
which both Saturn and Neptune will pass through 
in their respective due courses. 

(These start and end dates are approximate to within a 24-hour window)

Saturn is in the 13th degree of Aries:
	May 30-June 10 of 2026, before stationing Retrograde.
	Sept 13-26 of 2026, in Retrograde motion.
	Feb 20-28 of 2027, having resumed Direct motion.

Neptune is in the 13th degree of Aries: 
May 4-June 8 of 2030, before stationing Retrograde.
Aug 25-Oct 4 of 2030, in Retrograde motion.
March 6-April 1 of 2031, having resumed Direct motion
	(Notable, as April 1, 2026 has the Sun in the same degree)
Nov 30 of 2031-Jan 17 of 2032, in both Retrograde and Direct motion.
       This last span is especially interesting, given that Neptune is in the 13th degree of Aries for a prolonged period and will make its Direct station in the 13th degree of Aries on Dec 24 of 2031.
