March 8th full moon seen in Western and Chinese astrology


The full moon occured on March 8th at 9:41 GMT, or 4:41 AM EST. In western astrology we see the Moon besieged between Mars and Saturn with the Moon conjunct Mars, Mars and Saturn being malefics. They act to tighten the activity of the Moon and bring some degree of anger to whatever changes she attempts to make now. People are in a critical mood. Mars just behind the Moon spurs her to make changes in a spirit of daring. Defiance is in the air. Changes made on impulse and by taking chances are preceeded by restlessness and followed by arguments.
.
The Moon is in her 14th mansion, called Achmech. It favors prudence and the ability to analyze, and it promotes divinatory powers. This is a good time to get your cards read. The wisdom of elders is favored by this mansion; listen to those who have experience. The 14th mansion does not favor traveling, nor does it favor early stages of relationships, but it won't cause any harm where there is love.
.
The position of the Moon in the chart at DC shows disputes and complications in international affairs. With Mars retrograde, however loudly the dog may bark, it won't bite. The Moon in this chart is also connected to concerns having to do with labor. Joblessness is a burning issue.
.
Mars is in a grand trine aspect with Jupiter and Pluto, and Venus is conjunct Jupiter. This promisses positive talks and plans in business and finance, based especially on concerns having to do with real estate, and the debt. But, Pluto is in the same degree as the lunar nodes with the lunar nodes approaching exact semi-sextile with Pluto. This presages upset relations between members of the Congress and the President for a change.
.
Mercury is conjuct Uranus, and Mercury is about to go retrograde. This frustrates matters connected to the people's concerns over the debt and poverty, and causes them no small degree of vexation. With Mercury turning retrograde, decisions made at this time will be undone; nothing will hold.
.
Uranus is in mutual reception Neptune. This gives flexibility to the people in connection with money. It says that if you are resourceful and inventive you can get around your perceived limitations.
.
The Chinese chart has the signs, Water Dragon for the year, Water Rabbit for the month, Earth Dragon for the day, and Wood Tiger for the hour of this full moon. The chart has a strong predominance of Wood element. This gives a restless, and easily angered spirit to the time. It also says that people can become confused when changing their plans. The chart has 6 Wood, 1 Fire, 4 Earth, 0 Metal, and 4 Water. 0 Metal gives trouble with boundaries. 4 Earth causes plenty of worry. Lots of worry happens when boundaries are unclear. Frustration and anger results.
.
The Chinese chart has 8 Yang elements and 6 Yin elements. This shows it to be a time to be active. In the Yin and Yang department there are strong imbalances in Yin Wood, Yang Earth, and Yin Water. This shows confusions over plans, and worries, coupled with willfulness: a sure recipe for trouble. The vital element of this chart is Fire. Fire tells us to act creatively. Be productive, and stay on course.
.
The chart has the stars called arts, money storage, and peach blossom. This encourages us to act creatively, put away some money, and socialize. Look your best, and be kind to one another. The chart also has the stars of benevolence and kindness. Kindness to others brings desirable rewards. The chart also has heaven medicine star. It is favorable for people who are ill at this time. If you use your intelligence you will be able to turn a difficult matter to your advantage.
.
The full moon, in Chinese reckoning, gives us the I Ching hexagram 20 (Observation, or Watching), line 6. It advises wise contemplation from a high place. Consider danger in a time of peace. Kind deeds will pay off. If you want to understand someone's frame of mind observe his or her words and actions. Be objective, and watch your own thoughts and feelings. That way you will gain insight and avoid misfortune.
