FULL MOON IN ARIES:
This month lunar peak occurs on Sunday October 9th at 4:55 P.M. EDT at 16 degrees Aries 33 minutes. Ah, the Aries Full Moon! While there is no reason to fret or fear this lunar event, it would be wise to use a bit of caution for a few days. Aries is the most assertive and uninhibited of the signs, and it frequently looks for ways to express that energy without regard for those it may affect. Take a moment to view your environment and sidestep any confrontations. Aries is ruled by Mars, the god of war, after all, and a certain amount of aggression will accompany this. There could be an escalation in the ongoing conflicts in the world, and there is the chance that this could set off the chart of someone who has violent tendencies. But for the most part, a little awareness will help us all avoid major problems.
This is a good time to initiate changes or to redirect your projects into a new path. The Aries energy is great for starting something new, or for renewing or readdressing your force where it can create a fresh perspective. While we think of New Moons as beginnings, and Full Moons as the culmination of that lunar cycle, with the recent New Moon in Libra and this monthly peak in the opposite sign of Aries, it’s a good time to reestablish ongoing relationships, or set them on a different path. If something is askew in a close connection, this could be a chance to examine it and aim your attention towards a new path. You can redefine a relationship or establish new boundaries.
The war in Ukraine has reached a turning point that may prove to be a moment of victory for the defenders. But it may also represent a time when Putin moves into uncharted and extremely dangerous territory, and we see Putin trying to draft 300,000 more troops for his ill-conceived travesty. More news will come. And with Pluto, ruler of Plutonium and nuclear energy, about to go direct as well the saber rattling will intensify. I seriously doubt that he will use a nuke. That would be suicide. But just the fear of the possibility can have a powerful and destructive effect.
Some issues that have been brewing for some time will come to a head now. In your personal life, try to remain open-minded. There will be some information coming to you that will give you the opportunity for a fresh start. In the collective, as we approach the upcoming all-important mid-terms, we will begin to see how the shifting tides are moving. There are some important debates about to take place that may very well be a harbinger of what to expect. But no matter what happens in the mid-term elections, and in the 2024 elections, we are facing a much deeper and more contentious cleansing than will be completed in a few years. This will take several election cycles before there is anything resembling balance or sanity. So don’t expect miracles, no matter what your political perspective. Try to have patience and be careful where your tread. And worry about what you can change, and not so much about what is out of your control. That way you can avoid mishaps. This is an exciting energy, so hopefully you will find something adventurous to do over the coming few weeks.
