October 17th, 7:27 AM EST: Mark your calendars, as it’s our first Full Moon of the next one-year, Full Moon cycle! The Full Moon will rise at 24° of Aries, appearing larger and more luminous than usual, as it’s also a Supermoon, nestled closely to Earth in its perigee. This occurrence will amplify both the mystical allure of the Full Moon and the characteristic brilliance and bravado of Aries, heightening all energies.
As the Sun sits opposite the Moon in this powerful alignment, it casts a spotlight on the polarities within our lives—bridging the emotional, physical, and spiritual realms. Each Full Moon paints a unique picture, with its impact varying according to the astrological sign and planetary aspects involved. Feel the crescendo of awareness and emotion under these transformative beams. If sleeplessness and edginess grip you, you’re in good company under this potent lunar influence.
The intensity of this Full Moon will differ based on your personal astrological chart, inviting varied experiences for all. You can pull up your birth chart here. The Moon, ruler of our subconscious and our hidden emotions, reels everything to the surface. This is your moment of enlightenment, a tug-of-war between head and heart, ego and soul. The sky dances as the Sun in Libra (Air) faces off against the Moon in Aries (Fire).
For those with strong cardinal placements (Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn) or degrees between 22-26°, prepare for an electrifying ride. Fire signs like Leo and Sagittarius won’t be left out—they’ll also feel the energy surge! While Aries champions the self—our ambitions and actions for our own well-being—Libra emphasizes partnership, balance, and the harmony of ‘we’. Both energies ask us to engage in the dance of self-care and mutual care, reminding us that equilibrium is key.
This charged Full Moon invites courageous action but also heralds potential crises—whether internal, external, or both. Embrace your power and truth, yet navigate carefully to avoid harm. With tempers potentially flaring, keep calm amidst any turbulence.
Mars, the ruler of Aries, is in dynamic tension with the Sun and Moon, as well as clashing with transformative Pluto, stirring a whirlwind of boldness, impatience, and thwarted efforts. Eris, “The Goddess of Discord,” and healing Chiron are aligned with this Moon, emphasizing advocacy and standing firm in beliefs while practicing compassion and empathy.
Harness this intense energy constructively—explore physical activities carefully, as the impulsive nature of this transit might invite accidents. As the trailblazer of the zodiac, Aries channels pioneering spirit—perfect for daring ventures and initiating overdue changes.
Even as relationships experience stress, let these moments birth healing opportunities. This cosmic journey may not resonate with everyone, so for personalized insights, be sure to watch the detailed reading above.
