Full Moon in Chitra: Use your Illusion

The Sun and Moon will be directly across from each other April 16, at 8:55 am Hawaii Time (11:55 am PDT) for a Full Moon in Libra in the star of Chitra. Chitra is ruled by Tvasthar, the god of creative intelligence. He is manifested as either Vishvakarma, the creator of the beings of light, the “devas”, or Maya, the creator for those without light, “the asuras”. As such, this star can open our power to create incredibly beautiful structures and systems that are either bringing us closer to our divine light and truth, or that are instead miring us deeper into the illusion of separation and our ego nature. Chitra is symbolized by a gem, like a diamond, that is cut to show off its brilliance. The fact that it is not a raw stone, rather one that has been worked by an intelligent and skilled artist is an important aspect of this symbol, as it is not about raw beauty and intelligence in Chitra but all that has gone into us becoming this way. Bridging Virgo and Libra, Chitra shows us how the attention to detail and physical work in Virgo can lead into the refined, harmonious, and beautiful in Libra. Libra is about relationships, the inter-workings between people and anything we build must accommodate and support us in these relationships, or else it will become nothing more than something pretty to look at. As the South Node, Ketu has moved into Libra in March, this Full Moon is an important first highlight of an area of life we may be increasingly pulling away from over the next year and half. The total lunar eclipse will be next month, two weeks after the New Moon/partial Solar eclipse in Aries that is setting off this new eclipse cycle. Much of the theme in this period will be around Self and Others. How much do we compromise for others and how much do we do what we want without a lot of regard for how it affects those around us? With the Sun just moved into his exalted place in Aries, we have an opportunity to stand strong in our power while also understanding that sometimes it is appropriate to bend a little to meet someone else along the way. With Jupiter also fresh in his own sign of Pisces as of a few days ago, and Saturn gearing to move into Aquarius for a 2.5 month stint, we have quite a bit of movement and as a result, instability as of late! This is especially profound as Jupiter, Saturn and the Nodes are the 3 longest transits and move signs only 1-3 years!
