What the real astrologers have to say...
Taking a look at what other astrologers have to say about this full Moon:

Jeff Jawer at stariq.com in his full Moon report:

The opposition of the Moon in cooperative Libra and the Sun in autonomous Aries represents a contrast between the freedom to act independently and the compromises required of relationships. The dialogue is intensified now with penetrating Pluto and aggressive Mars forming tense 90-degree squares to the Sun and Moon. Conflict is easily triggered by the smallest differences of opinion. Transforming combativeness against others into fighting for a worthy cause elevates the argument from a personal dispute to bold actions that can advance your interests personally and professionally.

Lisa Dale Miller at astrowisdom posts about this full Moon:

When the Moon is full in Libra, it is reflecting the light from the Sun in Aries. The polarity of these two opposing signs represents knowing self in an effort to know others; thereby allowing others to truly know us. The Libra Moon reflects the light of Arian individuality and uses it as the fuel for greater understanding of others.

Know thyself and the true nature of all things will be revealed.

As with every Libra Full Moon, we have an opposition to a blatantly self-interested Aries Sun, but on this Full Moon this opposition is squared by a Mars in Cancer/Pluto in Capricorn opposition creating a cardinal grand square. So, take a deep breath, because this grand square is challenging us to work out relational problems no matter what it takes. Successful engagement with a grand square comes when we refuse to get caught in the idea that the way of any one planet in the configuration holds the answer to all the issues.

Robert Ayres at Astrological Alchemy says about the full Moon:

The Full Moon falls in Libra on March 21, the day after Spring Equinox. The Sun entering Aries, Libra's opposite sign, marks the beginning of a new solar year. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and its energy is motivating us for new directions in the adventure of life. The archetype of Aries is The Warrior who embodies dynamic action and the virtue of courage. It takes courage to confront and deal with the challenges of life. These challenges provide us with the opportunities for growth.

With the Moon in Libra opposing the Sun in Aries, it demands that we consider the needs of others in our new directions. Diplomacy is the keyword for the Full Moon, which encourages us to engage others in a loving, understanding manner as we move forward with our plans. The tension of the Sun/Moon opposition is added to by a Mars/Pluto opposition with all four planets in square aspect to each other. This planetary configuration forms a grand cross, which is a very stressful and conflicted aspect. We have reached a crisis that demands change. It is necessary that we get centered and balanced and bring the conflicted areas of our lives into harmony. If we do not make the necessary changes, frustration, anger and conflict will most likely be the result.

There is also a mystic rectangle configuration which gives support for alchemical, transformative change. Now is the time to resolve some old conflicts and elevate your life to a new, higher level. Enjoy!

My take..
   »On the full Moon

I noticed on the Saturday following the new Moon, while doing my weekly grocery shopping, that many people looked like the walking wounded and several were limping, favoring the right leg/foot. And these two weeks has been tough for me, as well. The major problem has been a person at work who wants to, essentially, bully me. I think I stood up well for myself without inflaming the situation. In the past few days I've noticed people sighing ragged little sighs of relief and am guessing that the worst is over.

So my take on the full Moon is that it is indeed the culmination of what was started at the new. Had we all looked ahead, we would have noticed the Grand Square with Pluto and Mars in aspect to each other and the Sun-Moon dyad and braced ourselves. But looking ahead, i.e. predicting, has its own dangers, one of them being we create what we visualize.

In addition, the asteroid Juno (in my mind I'm referring to her as a 'pompom-on-a-stick' -- go figure) is approaching a conjunction with Pluto. One article says expect storms, another refers to "Girls Gone Wild." Take your pick.

I've set up a linkBlog entry about asteroids and Juno for reference.

Again with the pompom-on-a-stick...

The Juno-Pluto conjunct occurs in the second house, in opposition to natal Venus and Jupiter, which are conjunct. Venus is the natural ruler of the 2nd house, so the opposition focuses her influence there in the form of awareness. Most of us are aware that U.S. economy looks like its faltering -- the stock market is taking periodic nosedives, lenders and borrowers that over-extended themselves in the real estate boom are being brought down (for an interesting, but very biased take on the current state of the housing market, see this. Remember, it's only a crash if we call it a crash.), and the U.S. government is trying adjust the economy with an 'economic stimulus'. I'm wondering if we're being bought off by an unpopular president.
