Full Moon in Aries
On October 17th (12:26pm BST) a Full Moon at 24º Aries will illuminate the sky, bringing to a point of completion a cycle which began all the way back in April at the Aries New Moon/Total Solar Eclipse.
A potent lunation which served as an activation point, calling, or potentially pushing, you into alignment with your destined path, whether you were ready or not.
Upon reflection, what has changed, expanded, or been cut loose over the last seven months and what, when you consider it, do you know still needs to, in order for you to fully align with your highest purpose.
If you find the answer invokes a sense of fear or agitation, then this lunation may just prove to be somewhat challenging.
Caught in a cardinal cross, involving Mars in Cancer and a now direct Pluto in Capricorn, expect tensions to mount and emotions to be intensified, as unresolved issues rise to the surface, demanding your attention. Asking that you finally face that which you’ve been avoiding.
Adding insult to injury, the Moon will be conjunct Chiron in Aries, exposing old wounds, so that they may finally be addressed and healed. Asking, are you ready to transmute your pain into power.
If so, then Mercury in Scorpio - loosely conjunct the Sun in Libra - may assist you in having the necessary conversations required to bring about transformation, especially when it comes to power imbalances or conflict with those around you.
In addition, with Pluto situated at the apex of a kite, opposing Mars and aspecting Venus in Scorpio, along with Neptune in Pisces conjunct the North Node in Aries, it’s time to accept that the only way out is through. And thus, can you face your fears and willingly confront issues head on, by saying what needs to be said and doing what needs to be done.
With Saturn in Pisces and Uranus in Taurus both heavily activated during this lunation, there will be a strong call to grow and evolve by cutting ties with the dysfunctional patterns, relationships, or habits that have been holding you back. Asking, are you ready to release your attachment to the familiar, in order to boldly move towards the unknown.
If embraced, this has the potential to be a deeply expansive period, whereby you finally feel courageous enough to make the big decisions and radical moves which will ultimately change the course of your life.
