An example chart: Mr. Kennedy was born at the full Moon so that we find the two luminaries in close opposition in the natal chart. This placement fosters a need for objectivity in the life as there is a very basic conflict contained within such a position. The Sun and Moon are in the Second and Eighth Houses respectively and in the signs Pisces and Virgo. A full Moon nativity stresses the differences between the essential nature of an individual (Sun) and its need for formative self-expression in day-to­day contacts (Moon). Here we see that Mr. Kennedy will frequently encounter the juxtaposition between his inner goals and the forms that these ideals take in the outer life. Thus in order to achieve his inner aspirations, he may often have to compromise on the forms of their realization. The cooperation of other people may often seem out of alignment with these plans. He will have to be able to allow others to do things in their own way and not necessarily according to his own methodology. As the Moon is in Virgo, this will not be an easy factor for him to accept as he has a very specific notion of how his plans should be carried out. He may be open to much disappointment if he doesn't achieve enough faith in the methodologies of those in subordinate positions.

Synthesis is the keyword here. Mr. Kennedy should avoid allowing himself to fall into "either/or" situations. Instead he should always strive for a third point of focus with his associates for the betterment and greater harmony of the whole. Discretion, positive discrimination and acceptance, are important qualities that he will have to incorporate into his public and private life.

An Aries individual is a self-starter.  He is “cardinal-fire” and is totally dependent on his own self-motivational creative energies.  When he is not in touch with this “engine”, he has no power.  He then becomes a lamb rather than a ram.  The potency of the will is practically non-existent.  The totally personality-centered Aries is usually unconscious about his urge to project his need for response to his desire nature.  He initiates, but the force is immediate at best, without the objective awareness required to be able to see where his initiatory fires will lead and the nature of the responses they will provoke.  Everything is based on a “me-first” attitude.  This does not make for a “bad” person as much as it does for one who is rather naïve and unaware of others and his surrounding environment.

Returning to regular- post-holiday schedule may have been difficult if productive this week, but we need this weekend to hit the reset button. A Full Moon in Cancer calls our attention to any tension we feel between home and private life, and our work out there in the world.

“With a huge sigh of relief our hero emerges once more into the world after passing the tests of his transformational sojourn in the underworld. Freshly empowered he strikes out into the unknown future, jumps on his trusty steed and hits the road. The question becomes what is the purpose that will lend meaning to the final stages of his journey to consciousness? What is the meaning of life?”
