Relationship issues are being pushed to a head here, and it's going to be difficult to hide how we really feel about it all with Juno, the Sun, and Mercury opposing from aggressive Aries.
Communication and ideas planet Mercury in Aries is currently activating the cardinal Grand Cross formation (exact Monday, April 14), and our words and interactions have long-term ripple effects now. Make sure your tongue is fighting just the right battles.
We need to know when to speak up and exert ourselves and when to yield to others. Determining which is which under these stressed conditions is not always simple.
Adding to the intensity of the cardinal Grand Cross-flavoured eclipse season, Pluto is stationing retrograde at 13 degrees Capricorn on April 14, as well. This indicates a greasy and nauseated energetic moulting process involving complex power issues that are also putting us on edge.
There is a strong requirement to move relations into "new era" territory now, guided by what really works for the individuals involved - rough edges and all. Fight for new life under new-era rules in your relationships, or watch things wither.
Locking ourselves into old school relationship dynamics out of fear or out of a sense of false security simply will not do.
Tuesday's eclipse is the first in a series of four Full Moon total lunar eclipses that will occur along the Aries-Libra polarity:
April 14, 2014 - Full Moon total lunar eclipse at 25 degrees Libra, opposite the Aries Sun
October 8, 2014 - Full Moon total lunar eclipse at 11 degrees Aries, opposite the Libra Sun
April 4, 2015 - Full Moon total lunar eclipse at 14 degrees Libra, opposite the Aries Sun
September 27, 2015 - Full Moon total lunar eclipse at 4 degrees Aries, opposite the Libra Sun
These are cardinal Moon eclipses, again, indicating that new direction and new social leadership will be required in relationships of all kinds throughout this period.
Things are being shaken up along the "me" versus "we" polarity, as a new relationship backdrop comes into play for the new astrological era.
We have also entered a new, two-year personal goal cycle, being kicked off by the Mars retrograde period in Libra, where relationship direction and re-direction figure strongly. We are working out a new balance between men and women, masculine and feminine, "me" and "we," self and other. And we're doing it all within a potentially confusing and pressure-fueled collective scene.
This Mars in Libra-flavoured cycle is an intense mash-up of the Aries/Libra themes with the action planet that rules Aries being challenged by Libra themes into spring 2016.
From a previous report:
"Most people are going to want (Mars) a relationship (Libra)...This desire will be acute and even overpowering, at times.
But let's be stark-reality honest here. There are a whole lot of people on this planet that don't know which way is up right now. They don't know which way is up in their own lives, let alone when they bring another person in...
In a state of balance, Mars in Libra does know what it wants, and it likely wants togetherness and long-term relationships.
But out of balance, as transiting Mars in Libra will be at times within highly-stressful cardinal Grand Cross formation, you get some unpleasant behaviours popping up, especially socially...
Under the cardinal Grand Crosses, we are struggling with a huge amount of change, shifting, and upheaval on a grand, global scale. There is a lot of chaos - much of it orchestrated - and this affects personal relationships."

Thanks Willow for your punchy and easy to understand article on the longer term patterns that are emerging and their influence on human relationships. I would be thrilled to articulate these influences with the clarity you have brought to the table. This is a blog I shall return to. Thanks again, Louisa.
Thanks, Louisa.
Hi Willow,
i just re-read your juno-pluto post from 2010.
as my moon (virgo 13.11) is plutonian-(by conj)-uranian(conj)-neptunian-(12th house cusp virgo 13.09)lilith-(oppos)-juno(by square)-jupiter(sextile)-flavoured and going through pluto transits since - felt thousand years, its almost impossible to not get crazy. why the hell, have i took such an existence? if i ever will be able to pay an wwa-lesson, this will be my first question.
and excuse me, but fuck the astrologers out there, who write stuff like jupiter in cancer and saturn in scorpio (and going conjunct and trine my 5 cancer-planets - venus, mars, mc, jupiter, sun and sextile my moon-pluto-uranus-stellium) is a favorable time with lots of money and recognition, and good feelings... fuck fuck fuck - its so, - I need to meditate on it... this time, my 12th-cusp-moon, has a solution.
but my plutionian-uranian-moon says: re-read willows post about non-plutonics and plutonics.
thanks for that, willow.
and for this: i often remember your helpful sentence about saturn going over my south-node and that this means, meeting consequences of past actions.
this helps me stay with me, and see what soul-spirit-growth i need to work on.
Thank you willow.

right around the time I first found this blog I discovered Michael Ruppert & his whole construct so I was 1/2 hoping you might have had sthg to say about his demise, since at least on paper he has been about exposing the system & going back to a better way ... etc.
I just heard about Mike from Matt Savinar. :-(
I'm hoping Matt will write about or do a radio show on Mike and his work. I was not very familiar with him, though I knew of him via Matt.
