The tension between the Aries moon and Libra sun are heightened this lunation by a Mars-Jupiter-Sun stellium (you can include Mercury as well, in an out of sign conjunction at 29 Virgo). Mars is in an interesting place being buoyed up by jovial Jupiter yet placed uncomfortably in cooperative Libra. While the Aries moon calls for personal needs to be put first, the Libra stellium wants to focus on the Other.
Ultimately, it seems that appearances will stress the gracious and the appeasing, but underneath, with the Libra stellium depositing to Venus trining Pluto, all these acts of kindness have strings attached. It's not really a time of manipulation, but there is a focus upon the principals of reciprocation: you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. In this sense, it is a generous time. Another positive signature of great interest is Jupiter's shift into Libra. Jupiter has finally left the constraints of detail oriented Virgo to enter the sign of graciousness, harmony, beauty and relationships, making people more willing to give the benefit of the doubt and lending a general feeling of optimism and luck towards love and the arts. Any attempts to take advantage of others or playing into power struggles will not go over well; airy Libra's concern over justice, as well as quick thinking Mercury sextiling Saturn will not look kindly upon such behaviour. Play nice.
