October holds many notable cosmic events with Mercury, Pluto and Saturn stationing direct as well as the beginning of eclipse season; a month that will bring many opportunities for evolutionary growth. Firing things up, the Full Moon in Aries is fully charged to courageously face fear and deal with intense emotions and painful issues that can wait no longer, needing acknowledgement, compassionate action and healing.
The Moon in Aries opposite the Sun in Libra highlights our individual needs and desires with that of our partnerships. By honoring and integrating both perspectives, the gift of a supportive middle ground is found.
In a conjunction with the Moon, Chiron in Aries reveals the wounds, fears and frustrations that have been brewing and culminate under the light of this Aries Moon. With the energy of the “wounded healer,” Chiron brings our attention to our personal wounds but also to the powerful opportunity for healing within ourselves, our relationships and our lives. When we bravely face and examine sensitive and painful issues that need attention, important decisions about what remains and what needs release become clearer.
Venus in Libra, close to the Sun and opposite Chiron and the Moon offers tender devotion and a desire for harmony that calms the flames of this impassioned Full Moon. In doing so, a path of grace, cooperation and understanding that values loving inter-dependence opens, providing support and restoration to our most important relationships.
Mars, the ruling planet of this Moon is currently in the sign of Gemini activating our thoughts and drive to speak our mind. However listening and hearing others is even more valuable in effectively communicating and being heard. In the background Saturn in Aquarius, Mars in Gemini and the Sun in Libra form a grand trine, a harmonious aspect of flowing support that offers some underlying ease and grace during this impulsive and fierce Full Moon.
On October 8th, Pluto stations direct in Capricorn and during the Full Moon makes a loose square with the Moon and Sun, and a trine with Neptune in Pisces and Mercury in Virgo. Although challenging this lunar phase, Pluto also offers strong support to ideas and communication that inspire and enhance the situation. Pay attention on the 8th and make note of any significant inner or outer shifts that occur.
The intensity of this lunar phase compels us to courageously recognize and release what isn’t working or limits our potential; people or circumstances that undermine our sense of who we are and deepen the wounds we carry.
Lighting a fire deep inside our heart and soul, this powerful Full Moon in Aries activates our inner warrior, motivating us to show up strong within ourselves and set healthy boundaries as we also honor the bonds we share in significant loving relationships. To actively make choices and changes that heal, empower and strengthen our ability to claim greater happiness and wellbeing.
