The Last Quarter Aries Moon raises questions about what makes you comfortable. The familiar, the safe, the family environment- suddenly, these things are uncomfortable. There's a feeling of agitation as the need for action arises or conflict peaks.

And yet, Mars (ruler of Aries) is opposed by Saturn so actions must be controlled. The questions that come up are about more than what you should do next; they demand that you take responsibility even as the rules are being revised or you're returning to a previous goal. This culmination/ending is also a turning point that pushes you to reclaim your authority (if you've been projecting it) while tempering your impulses so you can build confidence and power.

Freedom of expression is tested. Conflict is stubborn with both sides digging in (ego on one end and control on the other). You can rage against the restrictions or give up. OR, you can gear down, making your efforts slow and deliberate. You will have to play by the rules and this is not the time to show off. But it is the time to prove that you've got what it takes by building strength so you can be proud of what you've accomplished. You won't see immediate rewards but Saturn always delivers (eventually) if you work with the limits. There's somewhere you can't go or something you can't do and while these results are not fun, they redirect your energy towards something you can do.

In light of the Last Quarter Aries Moon, you're looking at how you can be the adult while moving beyond what's familiar or dealing with family conflict.

The Mars/Saturn opposition is part of a larger configuration involving Venus, the Saturn/Uranus square, a Grand Fire Trine, Kite and Mystic Rectangle.
