Tension as Your Teacher
The spectacular Super Full Moon in Aries arrives with a howl on October 17th at 7:27am at 24 degrees of Aries. The moon is at its perigee, meaning it is the closest to Earth it will be all year. This is an intense Full Moon, and not necessarily an easy one! The Moon is squaring a Pluto-Mars opposition, creating a cardinal grand cross. Aries is bold, brash, unrelenting, driven and passionate. Pair this with the Mars-Pluto opposition, and this energy feels urgent, unyielding, fiery, argumentative, manipulative, power hungry, and even a bit confusing. There is a lot of wild energy in the air that is searching for new directions to go, but a bit overwhelmed with all that needs to be done. One of the best things to do with this moment is to choose one thing to focus on, and use your energies to do it intentionally, wisely and well.
Tensions are high and spirits are fierce, particularly in interpersonal relationships. We are on a crossing, a journey towards moving through the pain of past generations: the patriarchal hierarchy, the stifling of our own self- expression in order to fit in, and violence, often disguised as the “only way” towards peace .
This Aries Moon invites us to bring forward new ways to be brave in our individuality and sharing our voice. In doing so, we give courage to others to be more themselves as well. Sitting opposite the Libra Sun in this powerful aspect, unity consciousness is on the threshold of our awareness. We are given the task to humanize violent individuals as well as victims, being more open to understanding and withholding judgment of opposing points of view. A tough pill to swallow.
The Moon is also conjunct Chiron, bringing up areas of your life which are in need of healing, and old wounds or habits from childhood surfacing which follow the above themes. How often do you yell, run away, avoid, or panic when facing an intense emotion? Feeling into your hurts and your rages, moving the energy through your body is the best medicine at this time. Do not suppress any emotions that come up during this Moon, but allow your emotions, and those tensions, to be your teacher. Seek out the people and resources that can be a salve for you.
This is the first Pluto-Mars opposition that will occur three time during the current Mars retrograde. This Mars retrograde in Cancer will last until April, reviewing areas of our life where our emotions create larger problems or conflicts if they are not address or given release. What expectations can you soften around? Especially in situations where you feel your guards going up or blood start to boil. We are being worked on! Try to welcome it all.
On the 11th, Pluto stationed direct and will be moving out of Capricorn for good. Lessons of underground structures that have created a silent hierarchy in your life - which have been an unspoken method of control over you - are now being finished out and released. A larger overarching theme to your life of “what you should be doing” is now shifting into a new perspective.
As we move into Scorpio season on October 22 and Venus now stands at the final degree of Scorpio, depths and shadow work are beckoning, particularly in your close personal relationships. Being open, having deep conversations, and connecting on levels of support that are not typically acknowledged are important here.
On October 28th, a tight struggle and challenge may surface as Venus squares off with Saturn. The planet of love just has to get through this for a few days before she is able to embrace a greater sense of peace with an opposition to Jupiter in the beginning days of November.
Blessings to you this Full Moon — and send out a howl to the universe! Your voice needs to be heard. You are loved. You are important, and your individual Truth is needed here in this moment on Earth.
