Full Moon in Bharani: Creative Control

Halloween Full Moon at 4:49 am Hawaii Time (7:49 am PST). This Friday night bathe in the moonlight as the Moon in sidereal Aries moves right across from the Sun in Libra. Aries is where we are beginning, starting something new and usually with force and enthusiasm. The star of Bharani is where we explore both life and death. The symbol is the yoni, the portal of birth and creativity. The ruler is Yama, the god of death. Yama also means “control” and this is where we are learning how to corral our sexual and creative energy. If we allow it to disperse in a million places, we will not be able to create anything of meaning. If we are able to direct our creative flow with discrimination, then what we bring forth will have the power of our total focus behind it. 


The lord of this Full Moon, Mars, is still retrograde in Pisces, the 12th house from Aries. This is creating an environment of secrecy, lies and delusion around our mind and emotions. What are you hiding from yourself? To become present, you must surrender. Surrender the stories and try to really see what is. How convenient that it falls on Halloween, when we “pretend” to be what we are not and wear masks to hide our true selves. Mars is offering us to feel frustration right now about our lack of forward-motion in our actions and we can either accept that our will can only make so much happen in this world, or suffer. The real lesson is to dive deep into your practices and discipline, because that is all you can really control, not the fruits of your efforts. 

Incidentally, the ruler of this Sun is also 12 houses from it, Venus in Virgo, so we are also in this same state of illusion and delusion regarding our power, authority and connection to source. Both Venus and the Sun are in a state of debility, so we are operating from a place where we both are overly critical of others (especially partners) and are giving our power away to others. This creates even more confusion about who we are and what we stand for. It also can create a lot of “petty arguments" in relationships. 

Mercury retrograde has been a bit of a beast added to the Mars retrograde because it can make us feel like nothing we try to do either in communication or action is working. Slow down and listen. Especially in conversations with others you are in relation to. Trust that everything will eventually unravel and work out and that this too, shall pass. Also be aware that new “problems” and issues will always arise, so waiting for the perfect time of no problems is unrealistic and an issue in and of itself. Accept that this is life and learning to work with constant change and “not knowing” is a part of it. What you can know is yourself;-)

Happy Full Moon! And Namaste
