Full Moon in Aries
This Full Moon rises in the sign of Aries on October 20th at 2.57pm GMT.
Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac, it represents the primordial life force that bursts from nothingness to create life.
It is the masculine force of light that comes out of the depths of winter's darkness pathing the way for spring.
It is determination, courage and will power. The path of the sacred warrior that fearlessly steps out to face the darkness and unknown to protect all of life.
As a Cardinal Fire sign it resonates with the Pitta Dosha of Ayurveda. Fire, warmth, excitement, power, intelligence, strength.
The shadow of Aries is a lack of consideration, bullying, oppressive dominance, anger and frustration. Aries when ungrounded begins many new projects, endeavours and relationships but is never around to see them through.
This Full Moon will be bringing these themes to the forefront.
What do you want to create in life?
How can you use the power of your life force to create positive change in the world?
How can you cultivate more courage?
What in your life is worth protecting and caring for?
How is your relationship with anger and rage? Do you have a healthy outlet? Is it suppressed? Or unleashed on yourself or others?
Do you have many creative ideas but not the commitment to see it through?
Is there a lack of passion and fire in your life? What can you do to cultivate this?
The Full Moon in Aries is opposing the Sun in Libra, which is conjunct Mars.
Mars is the ruling planet of Aries and the manifestation of the Divine Masculine Force in the sky.
This opposition brings an interesting dynamic. Mars is softened by the Venus ruled planet of Libra. Yet Mars is an activating planet that is action oriented, it brings clarity, will power and strength and therefore empowers the sign of Libra.
Libra is the sign of communication, artistic expression, conflict resolution, harmony, beauty, grace and balance.
In this sign the Masculine/Yang energy (that exists within all humans) asks us:
How can I be the bigger person and surrender being right to create space for peace?
How can I clearly express my wants and desires?
How can I become more compassionate to the experiences of others?
How can I create a safe environment of love and acceptance to allow others to blossom in authenticity?
How can I share my creativity with courage, fearless of judgement from myself or others?
This Full Moon offers us a potent opportunity to heal our relationships with the Masculine. How may we forgive those around us who may have wounded or triggered us?
How may we heal our relationship with the Yang force that flows within. To find the edges where we can soften and surrender, as well as the parts which ask for more discipline, determination and fire.
It is always a weave and a dance, nothing stays the same. How can you read yourself like a book daily to know what will most serve you in every moment?
