Apogee Of The Moon

This Full Moon in Libra isn’t just about releasing — it’s about cutting away the bullshit that’s been happening in plain sight. This lunation brings with it a wave of feminine rage. Not the kind that simmers quietly under pressure — no, this is the kind that forces us to take drastic, necessary action. We are pulling ourselves away from what no longer serves us, from what no longer nurtures or supports us, and it’s going to hurt. It’s raw. It’s emotional. It’s honest. Lunation’s in the sign of Libra are usually about rebalancing and harmonizing, and while that may happen, it will first require us to take drastic, decisive action to cut away what we no longer need.

This is a mini moon, sitting at the apogee — the farthest point from the Earth in the Moon’s elliptical orbit. That distance adds a layer of clarity. Yes, Mercury is currently in Pisces — the sign of its detriment — which tends to fog logic and communication. But the Moon in Libra, the sign ruled by Venus and Venus’s term, and Mars — squaring this Full Moon, in the sign of Cancer, the Moon’s home — is in Saturn’s term. Meanwhile, the Sun and Chiron in Aries are in Mars’s term. These dignities and terms matter. They speak to subtleties we don’t always name outright. Undercurrents we don’t always speak of.

There is a reckoning here. A realization. A moment of clarity, burgeoning rage and action to correct, and possibly overcorrect that which is imbalanced.

And we’re not alone in this.

We’re supported by a cosmic undercurrent as well: Mercury, the North Node, Saturn, and Venus — all in Pisces — trining Mars. These energies are backing our long-term plans and soul-led goals. Pisces may be dreamy, but it’s deeply intuitive. It’s spiritual. And with all these planets in Mars’s term, including Venus, Saturn, and the North Node, there’s a common thread: we are being supported to act with purpose. Not rashly — but with clarity, depth, precision, and an awareness of our inner truth.

Mars, sitting in Cancer, is also in Saturn’s term — bringing with it weight, longevity, and the kind of emotional intensity that’s been simmering for a long time. Mars’ retrograde has brought up the latent rage in the feminine psyche. That protective Cancer shell? It’s cracking. What’s been held in — the pain, the anger, the grief, the rage — is coming to the surface. It has to. And with Mars approaching the final opposition with Pluto, we’re looking at a power dynamic that’s hard to ignore. So many chapters are closing, while so many more bloom.

Pluto, sitting way out in the collective realm, doesn’t move fast — but Mars does. So when these two planets oppose, we feel it. We feel the stifling. The suppression. The pressure of trying to rage against the machine, act and be heard, only to come up against the wall of the collective, of systems and structures that seem too big to fight.

But still, we fight. Because this Full Moon — like all full moons — is an opposition. The Sun opposite the Moon. Our conscious self versus our emotional self. Our ego versus our needs. Our inner, and sometimes outer Masculine and Feminine, at odds. This tension is real. And the astrological soup that comes with it? It’s not just soup. It’s a layered, ancient language. It’s a dance between signs, terms, decans, aspects — a web of meaning that adds depth, clarity, turmoil and strife to our internal and external experience.

Now, there is a beautiful trine between the Moon and Jupiter. Jupiter’s in Gemini, a sign of its detriment, yes — but even in detriment, Jupiter brings opportunity, hope, expansion. Jupiter is also in Mars’s term, echoing the theme again: movement, assertion, decisive energy.

But let’s talk about the T-square for a moment. The Moon in Libra opposite the Sun in Aries, both squared by Mars in Cancer. This is heavy. This is cardinal energy — and cardinal signs initiate through crisis. This is a crisis of realization. A moment of seeing things clearly — maybe for the first time in a long time. Where are we not supported? Where are we not nurtured? What relationships have become one-sided, unbalanced, or simply broken? Where have we allowed our boundaries to be crossed to the point of anger and resentment?

Some of us may find ourselves negotiating — with others, with ourselves, with the past — trying to find our way back to harmony. Trying to find peace, if not with others, then at least within our own hearts.

And there’s more.

The Moon is making inconjunct (quincunx) aspects to both Venus and Saturn — and to Uranus. This creates a Yod, also known as the “finger of God.” But with the Sun opposing the midpoint between Venus/Saturn and Uranus, it becomes a boomerang Yod. That energy doesn’t just build — it explodes outward. This is where the psychological shock can come in. The confrontation. The truth we weren’t ready for but have to face. The cognitive dissonance and imbalance of objective truths and subjective obstinance.

This isn’t a Full Moon we just “get over.” It’s one that leaves a mark. This isn’t a situation we just “walk away” from — it’s one that requires sacrifice.

It shakes loose the rot. It exposes the imbalance. And it demands action — not just any action, but deeply aligned, soul-led action.

So, let it boil up. Let it break through. Let it rage. This Full Moon is not quiet, and it’s not subtle. But it is sacred. A turning point. A reckoning. A release.

Let it. A dear friend’s advice is something that rings true with this Full Moon:
Sometimes we have to give in, not give up. And that is powerful.
