The Full Moon in Aries concerns you depending on how it falls in your personal chart and which areas it activates in your personal horoscope.
The energy affects primarily Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn persons, especially those born in the third decan, as well as anyone with personal planets or points in their horoscope between the degrees 20° and 29°59′ in these signs.
The Full Moon in Aries on October 17 is characterized by challenging energy, marked by many dynamic aspects that bring impatience and escalate tensions and conflicts. Fortunately, there are also a few aspects that provide balancing effects and offer some possibilities for managing these tensions.
The key is to keep the big picture in mind and not succumb to emotionalism or the significant insecurity you may feel, or the impulse to resolve any issues that peak immediately.
However, the challenging core energy will certainly affect you with challenges regarding relationships, intimate and others, as well as family and career matters.
Let’s take things from the start. The Full Moon occurs on the Aries-Libra axis, specifically at 24°35’ of Aries, where the Moon is located. This axis influences relationships and collaborations and relates to how we perceive and define ourselves in relation to significant others.
On one hand, we feel the need to express our individuality and truth without compromises—simply, clearly, and straightforwardly. On the other hand, we know that this may cause intense tremors, disrupting the balances in important relationships and collaborations.
Emotions arise that are filled with impulsiveness, anger, or competition with this pioneering and bold Moon in Aries that squares Mars in Cancer. The Moon is conjunct Chiron also, which is retrograde in Aries and Mars is also making a square to Chiron.
Mars, ruling the Moon in Aries, and the Moon ruling Mars in Cancer are squaring each other—a configuration where emotions are filled with complaints, sensitivity is heightened, making it difficult to act and take more rational initiatives; instead, it fills us with impatience and haste.
Complaints, impulsiveness, family issues, issues of masculinity, regression to childish behaviors, and mood swings abound!
Mars is squaring Chiron; thus, just before this Full Moon and during the following two weeks, you will be called to discover how vulnerable you are. You will need to overcome feelings of inadequacy and weakness and somehow choose whether to internally conflict with yourself in an attempt not to externalize the tension or to confront others.
Your emotional needs will be emphasized as they are strongly colored by impulsiveness and impatience. It becomes quite easy to feel that you are not advocating for your needs adequately.
And since needs go unmet, it’s easy to feel vulnerable. The result… this vulnerability makes you initially angry with yourself and then with everyone else!
Thus, tension looms ahead requiring special attention in the coming days because your transformation from a wounded little creature into a wild and aggressive beast can happen abruptly from one moment to the next!
And Mars approaches an opposition with Pluto, overflowing you with accumulated anger, stubbornness, intensity, and suppressed egoism.
The result… exasperation, intensity, psychological outbursts.
The only thing that can prevail if you do not make enough effort… to rein in what you feel is real “hell”!
Yes. This Full Moon in Aries is a moon filled with impatience that makes us irritable and combative.
It demands a very elevated Aries energy to alchemize its energy. It requires us to lead boldly through the situations that arise and calm our emotions.
It also requires strong Libra elements—more cerebral processing of situations, a spirit of peace and cooperation—not choosing compromise since that is impossible but rather finding a middle ground… for everyone’s sake.
Fortunately, this Full Moon has some supportive aspects that allow you to utilize its energy more fruitfully and release tension more constructively.
Supportively, Jupiter at 21°13’ of Gemini forms a separating but still effective trine with the Sun and Moon.
This energy has already brought you some opportunities—even luck—in the days leading up to the Full Moon; it has filled you with optimism and helps you communicate more diplomatically as difficult aspects emerge.
It is an aspect that also aids with trade matters and brings favor in legal issues.
Jupiter retrograde in Gemini has already placed you on a path of necessary revisions regarding where your evolution truly lies; examining your choices more closely along with what you expect from your relationships helps particularly for Air signs by making tensions more cerebral allowing for a more philosophical view of things.
So, try to stay focused on the big picture.
Another supportive aspect is the sextile between Mars and Uranus in Taurus which provides small opportunities for more boldness, enthusiasm, and a willingness to change situations.
This desire for renewal will open doors for you since it won’t lead you into conflict with yourself; rather you’ll be ready to move forward if where you are does not satisfy you.
An aspect giving courage through which you’ll avoid tension. Courage either to leave or to attempt resolving issues from a position that is willing to fight for the necessary changes.
This Full Moon peaks during a pivotal period where the key is seeing the big picture and managing its wounded sensitive yet intensely charged Yin/Yang energy effectively.
- It requires acceptance of vulnerability.
- It requires not trying to control things.
- It requires being gentle with yourself.
Even if you find it difficult to ignore the confrontational, dominating competitive energy this moon brings into some area of your life…
Even if people or situations eventually fall out of your big picture since you’re no longer compatible with them…
Even if this Full Moon completely takes you out of your comfort zone…
Remember that the final outcome will be a welcome transformation serving a larger plan.
