★ALL Full Moons have the strongest effect on us 3 days prior and up to 3 days after★
The Moon is Full in Aries at 23°, the sign of the Ram, on Saturday, October 15th, at 9:23pm {pacific time}.
Full Moons are a time of Manifestation, Contemplation, Balance, Realization and Letting Go!
This Full Moon in ARIES is opposite our Sun in LIBRA. Aries is a Fire sign that is about the Self, Action, Aggression, Fierceness, Independence, Courage, Dynamism, Enthusiasm, Assertiveness, and Urgency. This energy can also be Implusive, Egotistical, Irritable, Explosive, Pushy, Selfish, Rude, Brash, Impatient, and Headstrong.
Anytime a Full Moon is here we need to focus on BALANCE. Our goal is to balance the opposite energies of the Sun {personality/character} and the Moon {Mood/Emotions} as they oppose each other in the sky, pushing and pulling in opposite directions, this puts our energy at odds.
Balance needs to be found between asserting your will and compromising with others, being a bully vs. a pushover, standing up for what you believe vs. agreeing with something you don’t believe in just to make friends, being courageous vs. giving into fears, making quick and impulsive decisions vs. sitting on the fence for an eternity.
Do you argue just for the sake of arguing?
Do you always have to be the one in charge?
Can you be fierce while still remaining compassionate?
This Full Moon is Fierce. It packs a punch that will not soon be forgotten. The challenge will be to keep your temper and impulses under control. Aries energy goes for it! And we can all learn a little balance by embracing the Libra Suns ability to compromise and make peace where peace needs to be made. It doesn’t mean not standing up for yourself. Quite the contrary. Make a STAND! Just think first and follow through with love.
The Sun and Moon are both being influenced significantly by Uranus. The Sun is opposition and the Moon is conjunct this erratic and liberating planet that is focused on change. Change that is initiated by unexpected disruptions. Uranus shakes things up so that you can open your eyes to what you may have been resistant to see. This influence helps you to move beyond what is holding you back and set yourself free. There is a sense of excitement in stirring things up. Now, you are ready to stand and fight, to rise up, and to courageously move forward. The thing is, you might try this through force and attempting to exert control over others or the situation. This would not be helpful. Doing so will only make you enemies and more susceptible to backlash. Do your best to be diplomatic and open to compromise in your approach.
Mars sextile Neptune can help to bring a little more compassion towards your actions and great insight into what needs to go from your life. If you slow down and take a deep breath you can listen to your intuition and remember where it is you want to go. Then make the necessary plan and take the right steps towards your purpose and what will serve the greater good.
Mars and Pluto are conjunct. Although you may be very self-centered and eager to have your way now, you can also find great determination and focus towards what you want to achieve. Your persistence and resilience are strong now and you can endure any challenges that come your way with greater strength and conviction.
Mars square Mercury can make things difficult. You are inclined to think of ways to make things better, and move through difficulties with ease and grace. However, your actions will have a rougher, more controlling, impersonal, or restricting approach. This can conflict with your wish to keep the peace. It is as if your mind and actions are in conflict.
The Sun and Moon are squaring Pluto and this magnifies pressures and frustration with things that are not working well in your life. If you are reaching a breaking point everything you’ve been holding back may be released now. You could blow up and finally let it all out. If there is a seemingly sudden outburst in your life that wreaks havoc, this is likely just the thing that was needed to push you towards making real changes at a core level. The pressures that have built within your close relationships, long term commitments, business partnerships, or career, and your resistance to being controlled or restrained, can outweigh your need to get along or compromise. You feel ready to stand your ground and stand for what you believe in and you won’t easily back down. It would do you some good to still consider other people even if you are fed up. If you don’t want to be controlled, don’t be controlling.
“Overall, this Aries Full Moon is occurring during a month in which we should be focusing on taking responsible action that is based on organization, structure, and systems (Mars in Capricorn). It’s a good time to create lists and plans. Around the time of the Full Moon, we may start to take action toward expansion in at least one area of our lives, but it will need to be done in a practical way. Mars will provide the energy we need, and Uranus will keep things moving and changing. Adjustments will need to be made, and it will help if we can keep in mind that change is part of a healthy life. During the last two weeks of October, we are being given a shot of courage that will allow us to be innovative, and Uranus may bring new ideas regarding how we can best achieve our goals. And in honor of Louise Hay’s 90th birthday, I will include a quote from her about change: “Today I close the door on the past, open the door to the future, take a deep breath, step through and start a new chapter in my life.” May we all enjoy the beginnings of any new chapters!” ~Anne Reith, AnneReith.com
