Here is a chart for the full Moon on Wednesday, 26 September 2007, 7:46PM (GMT).

Lisa Dale Miller at Astrowisdom.com in discussing the upcoming full Moon tells us:

On an Aries Full Moon your intention is best released with these qualities in mind: spontaneity, wonder, curiosity, adventurousness, and innocence. There are few times in an adult life when we can begin anew without dragging along our past pain, fear and worries. But this is the Full Moon to strive for releasing your intention with childlike hopefulness and inner faith. Know that what comes from your strong intention will be evolutionary, supportive and�. well, a big adventure! So smile and let it fly! Since Aries is a fire sign, releasing is best done through burning, and fire ritual is best done with safety in mind; so make sure to use a cauldron, indoor fireplace, or a stone fire circle at the beach to do this ritual.

Jeffrey Kishner at Lunar Tunes Astrology advises:

During this Full Moon, the spotlight shines on your needs. It's "me" time. Meanwhile, the "we" is tugging at your sleeve, wanting to talk talk talk, when all you want is to do do do. Now is not the time to start something new, as much as to recognize how you've been neglecting your impulses to carve out your own direction in life.

Doing your own thing does not necessitate moving out or moving on. However, to maintain an independent spirit within a relationship, you have to make sure you don't neglect the needs of your partnership. There's no easy formula like, "I'll see The Jane Austen Book Club tonight with my girlfriends, and tomorrow we'll see your friend's band together." Each relationship is its own ecosystem, and you have to figure out how to maintain homeostasis. A general rule of thumb, though, is that too much time either separate or together can threaten the delicate balance.

In this chart I see a mystic rectangle formed by Sun-Moon, Ascendant-Part of Fortune. Since the Part of Fortune is a synthetic point calculated from the positions of the Sun-Moon-Ascendant, this rectangle may be dismissed as meaningless or valued for its close aspects. According to Michael Meyer in A Handbook for the Humanistic Astrologer this formation represents:

... a synthetic and integrative ability, because it combines awareness (opposition), understanding (trine), and productivity (sextile), as well as linking complementary elements.

But, most of all, when I look at this chart I see the Sun-Moon combo aligning with the Virgo-Pisces axis, conjunct the cusps of the 6th and 12th houses. Because this chart is cast for Greenwich Mean Time, its locus is Greenwich, England. House relationships are tied to a location. Looking at the U.S chart, you can see that the conjunct to the cusps of the 6th and 12th houses is no longer true.

Still, it seems to me that this year has been particularly concerned with service-sacrifice matters: the war in Iraq from the perspective of the soldier, the emphasis on religion and the religious right in politics and jahid, itself. Note that all of the major soli-lunar events this year occurred in Pisces or Virgo:

• Total Lunar Eclipse, Full Moon: March 3, 13 Virgo 00
• Partial Solar Eclipse, New Moon: March 18, 28 Pisces 07
• Total Lunar Eclipse, Full Moon: August 28, 04 Pisces 46
• Partial Solar Eclipse, New Moon: September 11, 18 Virgo 25

A glance at Astrology Weekly's list of eclipses for 2008 shows the axis shifting to Leo-Aquarius with a relapse in February. The motif of this axis is self-centered vs. group-centered and the objective is balance.

• Solar Eclipse: 7 Feb 2008 17 Aquarius 44
• Lunar Eclipse: 21 Feb 2008 01 Virgo 52
• Solar Eclipse: 1 Aug 2008 09 Leo 31
• Lunar Eclipse: 16 Aug 2008 24 Aquarius 21
