Until he's 'birthed,' revealing himself, Uranus in Aries may be very much like an iceberg, with the majority of his energy hidden Frederic Church {{PD-Art}}
Virgo Full Moon arrives at 11:09 AM on the 19th at 28 Virgo 47. We find the Nodal axis still within the Cross and Neptune/ Ceres at 29 Aquarius quincunx the Full Moon and Earth, and Uranus is opposed the Full Moon (and so conjunct the Sun) from the Aries Point–and those are our only aspects, but oh, what aspects!
A Full Moon is a culmination of energies; we all know this, right? The problem is that we say that but may not recognize that culminations mean endings, but that we don’t or won’t necessarily recognize an ending when we see it! This is one of the weaknesses of monitoring our own energies with astrology: we are in danger of expecting certain things–and along with expectations come assumptions about what those things will look like. So, to let go of our assumptions may play a big part in successfully knowing what is coming to an end–and that may not be easy with the pressure of the Nodes in play (forcing the attention toward our destined direction–about which of course we carry even more assumptions!), with the rebellious energies of Uranus trained on expressing individuality (and as a consequence failing to look beyond the Self), and with the involvement of Neptune/ Ceres, calling forward every fantasy, delusion, and mommy or authority issue in our repertoire. So that’s the challenge with these aspects: if we meet them in a mundane way, in an ordinary state of mind, they act as more of a distraction from the ‘business’ of the Full Moon than anything else.
The Sabian tells us how important it is that we meet this energy in an ‘elevated’ state of mind. The symbol for the Full Moon is ‘A Seeker After Occult Knowledge Is Reading An Ancient Scroll Which Illumines His Mind’ The symbol implies that the Full Moon holds the promise of a means of discovering hidden spiritual knowledge, as we act in the role of Seeker. But, this knowledge is a finalization, a conclusion, a putting-together of what we’ve been gathering, discovering, or seeking, perhaps our entire lives.
The illumination a Full Moon brings to Earth (our material circumstances) this time around is not only in opposition to consciousness (the Sun) as usual (meaning that the culmination indicated comes about without great conscious effort on our part–it brings to an end matters as part of a natural cycle, rather than because of our doing), but is also in opposition to Higher Mind (Uranus)–and this suggests that, though we need to meet the Full Moon energy in an elevated state of mind, what we observe as the result may be decidedly mundane–and this means that we may not recognize the culmination as what it really is, the accumulation of our seeking efforts as they play out through these particular influences. Even more vital to note, this Moon may trigger the ‘birth’ of Uranus in Aries–it may, through a mechanism of conclusion or ending, ‘make room’ for the Uranus in Aries manifestation in our lives.

Thanks Julie. All this is not crystal-clear to me, but I’m curious to see how I can “birth Uranus”, knowing he is my Sun ruler, natally in 11 and transiting my 7th house: I guess it will have something to do with relationships.
Hi Katia, you’re welcome. I think if it were crystal-clear to you, there would be no Uranian surprise! See the actual forecast in the newsletter for more details, along with what’s on the protected page. This might help–and yes, I’m betting for you it has something to do with relationships! Happy Full Moon, Katia!
PS Also note that expecting things in a particular form is something to be avoided, as it limits our ability to recognize the Full Moon connected events when we see them 🙂

Thank you for a fascinating post. This full moon sits on my north node. ‘A Seeker After Occult Knowledge Is Reading An Ancient Scroll Which Illumines His Mind’ – really stood out for me as it’s the essence of the novel I’ve got doing the round of literary agents, trying to get published. I shall take this as a good omen. 🙂
Thank you! Yes Gilly, do take this FM on your NN as a good omen–smells like novel acceptance time to me 🙂

Amazing prediction, Julie, about the SuperMoon triggering the birth of Uranus in Aries. Feels as if something pioneering (in technology? war weaponry? nuclear deployment? who knows?) approaches.
Will the power elite’s proposed ‘Nuclear Renaissance’ be stalled by the Meltdown in Japan and the serious questions it stirs about the nuclear industry? Collusion between gov & nuclear watchdogs has lead to the Fukushima meltdown, they’re saying this morning on Living On Earth.
Anyway, we live in momentous times and your insights are gems of balance and sanity, Julie! Thanks a bunch for linking, Jude
Hi Jude! Thank you! Feel a little silly saying that about the ‘birth’ of Uranus in Aries, as it seems like already so much has happened–but there’s always room for more, no?
I’m afraid you’re right about collusion–things will be as they ever were (and when they change, it almost always turns out to be some kind of illusion, in a way–maybe because human nature doesn’t really change).
Very kind of you to dub me balanced and sane–though some might disagree 😉
And you’re very welcome for the links!
Have a marvelous Full Moon!

I wasn’t actually planning this in advance (hence the Uranian element of surprise) but my husband and I decided today to have the snip done (vasectomy) after a long back and forth about whether or not to have another child. So we’ll schedule that soon. We have a child with some medical concerns (epilepsy and other neurological issues including sleep, mood, behavior, etc) that are (thankfully) beginning to abate, but we realized we didn’t have the energy or really the earnest desire to have a second child. It’s kind of sad for me, especially, but I think it’s the right decision. I feel the consequences of adding to my stress level are a big deal.
Hi MM,
I know the feeling of being a bit sad when we realize a phase of our lives is over, especially when it’s such a major thing as having more children, even when we know in our heart that to have no more is the right thing to do. Certainly, this is the kind of event that epitomizes Uranus into Aries, Full Moon, and tomorrow, Sun conjunct Uranus. Wishing you and your family the best,

Thank you for the kind comment. It’s been (and continues to be) a long, difficult and uncertain journey with these health issues for my daughter, but since there are some noticeable improvements with biomedical intervention (integrative doctors, many expenses for supplements and medications, etc) we feel more hopeful than we did a year or two ago that she’ll have a full and healthy life. It’s not easy–but yes! I know everyone who decides to have kids (or not) goes through this–I’m just going through it earlier than I thought I would, a week before my 32nd birthday!
Hugs,
MM
You’re welcome, MM. I think health issues with a loved one (especially a young loved one for whom we’re responsible) are incredibly tough to bear. I’m hopeful that Uranus in Aries will bring some leaps forward in medicine and in alternative treatments–and a better outlook for those in need.
And a very happy birthday, MM, just wished a little early!
