The Full Moon in Aries on October 1, 2020 (at 17:05EST) stimulates a pain point - and an opportunity to heal.
The struggle is real, but so is our strength.
This Moon illuminates the deep and total need for a system reset. It shows where the blocks and burdens have become too much to bear; where barriers have become so high that they prevent us from actualizing what we most want.
We are stuck inside walls made of stone and fire. Nowhere to go. No way out.
Trapped, but the walls of the tower are shaking.
This is an entropic Moon.
entropy (noun)
change within a closed system
the degree of uncertainty within a system
a trend towards disorder
the degradation of the matter and energy in the universe to an ultimate state of inert uniformity
This Moon shows us very clearly where we are. Get real. No bullshit. This what things have come to.
We can no longer barricade ourselves from what we really want. It’s time for transformation.
Summon your will. Commit to what matters most and stand in the energy of what you want. What are you willing to do to get it?
Determine what you don’t want, and how you will hold the boundary line.
It is a natural phase of evolution and maturation. This is what occurs when the debts are called in on an empire. The places void of elders become glaringly obvious, and the people are charged to be soldiers of wisdom.
How do we change within a closed system? We become what we need.
Dispel the illusions of optics and face the reality.
When we can’t move, we must align.
Respect limits. Meet barriers. Get right with them. Deal with them.
War is in the air. Even after the efforts of argument, the result might be an uneasy truce.
Do not bank on immediate reward. It’s going to take time. It’s likely to feel hard. Expect to do the work, and agree to show up with concerted effort as fully as possible.
Stores are low, but we still have a ways to go. Conserve. Build your inner reserves and endure.
Pain is inevitable. Knowing this, what are you going to do anyway?
This Full Moon conjoins Chiron, a dwarf planet commonly referred to as the wounded healer.
Cherish the fracture. The wound is where the light comes in. The place where you’ve been hurt is where your medicine is stored.
The Chiron planetoid is a rainbow bridge; an interdimensional link between the limits of past and the possibilities of future.
Consider alternatives. Look for connection. Integrate missing pieces of self.
Healing is wholing.
Chiron in Aries is a warrior vibe.
Our lines contain a legacy of violence and love.
Is there a way to be in right-relationship with war or inevitable harm? Knowing that we will likely make mistakes, how do we build relationships?
Where has your will been wounded?
How will you demonstrate self-respect AND respect for others?
What will it take for you to say YES to existence - exactly as it is right now - even if it’s not what you want?
This Moon is a gateway to greater strength-in-self. Secure the kind of self-respect that disrupts the status quo and builds real connection.
Despite whatever mire of fear or grief or discomfort - do it anyway.
Be with the heavy old pain, and revive what’s been lost.
Dig deep and get your grit. Out past your small sense of self there is a great deal of energy available for you to draw from.
Love brokenness - yours and ours - and become undefeatable.
Let the willpower rise up through you to make the dawn.
Under the light of this Full Moon, seek separations and commitments that support your peace.
You are a sacred flame. The stronger you adhere to your integrity and ask others to meet you there, the more capable we all become of realizing justice and equilibrium.
From a core and wise place within yourself, make your waves. Fear not. The fire you start will bring the troubles needed for the culture to come correct.
The Sun is in Libra after all. We can choose to avoid conflict, maintain false peace, and undermine ourselves to be dominated by outside forces - or we accept the charge, use the force within, and spark the movement that will tip the scales into real balance.

Aries: I am a blazing light.
I am a sacred flame, ablaze. I am a shining torchlight illuminating an untread pathway. I walk the way of healing. Claiming myself, I come to a wholeness that has always been innate. I lead the way by being myself. Shedding whatever is not me, I choose to love myself at all costs. No need to push or force decisions - I will simply follow and trust my own energy. I undo the old before moving forward. Backwards or delayed motion is an opportunity to become more clear, focused, and self-affirming. With wisdom, I know I will be led down the path meant for me. No one can live my life for me. It is mine. I say YES to my existence!

Taurus: I swiftly surrender.
Letting go is a sign of maturity. Release is a gift from grace. This is a healing Moon. The oldest of grievances, the deepest of wounds, can get unstuck at any moment and become my medicine. Now is one of those moments. I step away from the bounds I’ve been embroiled in. I make the conscious choice to move from noise to silence. I trust my body to let go. I trust energy to find its way through me in perfect order. This is an ending. A true transition. A release. May this healing serve my expansion. Nothing stands between me and my spiritual self. We are one. Total. Well.

Gemini: I am always connected.
This Moon lights an ache for connection. A call for community. A craving for collaboration. I can no longer live in exile. This Moon sparks a fire that lights the pathway to reconnect. Where have I withheld my self-expression, and why? Avoiding intimacy creates significant consequences. I will no longer betray myself by staying separate from the depth of close contact I need. I will not collude with attempts to retraumatize myself. I am overcoming this now. I choose to sit steadily inside discomfort. I will not abandon myself here. There are cell-deep imprints that are ready to transform. I can be with the darkness and allow the future to be born. Miracles are among us.

Cancer: I live on purpose.
I honor my path and dedicate myself to cultivating my place in the world. My intuition guides me to stay close to my purpose. Aligning with my real ambitions and goals is deeply satisfying and nourishing. I know why I am here, and I intend to feed my soul by caring about my own fulfillment. Under the light of this Moon, I come into right-relationship with my responsibilities. I restructure my relationships to support my calling. I equalize energy exchange, striking the balance between giving and receiving. My best bonds are those that reflect the ways I care for myself.

Leo: I wander to be well.
My spirit will not stay small. Under the light of this Full Moon, I free myself from confinement. I get some air. I open myself up to something greater than what the habitual habits I’ve begun to outgrow. To wander and roam is an essential use of this time. Medicine journeys are required. It’s in the unscheduled, unstructured time that the most choice discoveries land and integrate into my body. I move freely to unlock myself. Wellbeing doesn’t come from taking static postures. It is the flow between forms that brings energy to life. Under this Moon, I call myself back to me. I create a plan to hold me in well-making. I ask for help, that others may hold me in my own wellbeing.

Virgo: I sense the power in my shadow.
Intimacy means becoming familiar with the deeply personal. The private. Intimacy is about sharing what we normally hide or repress. Perfection has no place in intimacy, for it’s in admitting to and owning our flaws, our mistakes, and our failings that we can access real closeness. This Full Moon invites me into the mysteries of intimacy. “Into me, you see.” Under the power of this Moon, I ask to see the parts of myself I have been unwilling or unable to access. I ask to know the nuances and subtleties of giving and receiving. I heighten my abilities to perceive the invisible, attuning myself to the vibration of sharing as deep care and medicine for transformation. There are no secrets here in the dark.

Libra: I meet myself in my other.
Energy flares inside a partnership or other close relationship for me now. The tension arising between us is a call for healing. Fighting is not necessarily a bad thing - a discharge of energy can help clear the air. My ‘other’ holds some desires that will help me to define my inner anchor. Restructuring home, shifting responsibilities to family, and developing a stronger sense of innate security are positive channels. Whether the disruptions of the time lead to final separation or deeper commitment, I welcome the tumult that precedes an authentic sense of peace.

Scorpio: I am well. I am well. I am well.
This Full Moon illuminates weak links in my rhythms and routines. I either need to shift what I’m doing or change how I am doing it. Is there a different use of my energy that would better serve? I accept the challenge to clear out excess and reorganize my systems and processes. I am ready to disrupt patterns of behavior that keep me small or spin me out. What are the ways of working that aren’t working? Can working become more like being? What do I want to improve upon or perfect in terms of my skills, my service, and my wellbeing? In the coming weeks, I will speak for myself and welcome the changes in my relationships that reflect deeper honesty.

Sagittarius: Love provides.
In times of scarcity and lack, love provides. In times of fear and uncertainty, love illumines. In times of loss, love reconnects. I look for love. I look for joy. Love is the bridge I want to walk. This Full Moon reminds me to be the artist that I am and entertain myself and my collaborators. No matter what pressures the conditions or circumstances bring, I am still creative. I can still love my own expressions. I can choose to be full-hearted. The person I am under this Moon encourages honest love from myself and community. I want to see and be seen. I seek solace in the clarity and commitments that come forward when truth is shared.

Capricorn: I belong.
This Full Moon shines a light on the gateway of my past. My origins are a bridge between past and future. I cherish suffering, for it makes a path for healing. Under this Moon, I honor old hurts, and I sink into clarity around the wounds I carried for my loved ones. I sense the ways my roots foster my branches. How my family and lineage set a foundation - and my responsibility at this time is to further claim myself and individuate as my own person. I empty myself of the expectations of others and fill myself up with respect. I reach towards inner sanctuary. I define belonging for myself, and get to the work of nurturing it. I am home. Underneath all the layers, this is who I’ve always been.

Aquarius: I am curious about what’s next.
This Moon shines a light at the end of a tunnel. Since December 19, 2017, I have been in a long period of release. Surrender, letting go, clearing out, healing, and connecting with my spiritual life have taken much of my energies and attentions since then. As Saturn completes its journey in Capricorn (to end December 17, 2020), I prepare to start a chapter and turn over an entirely new leaf. This Moon finds me in motion. Seeking options. Making choices. Communicating, connecting, and touching base. I inquire. I learn. I write. I ask that my mind be open and my perceptions and thought patterns be healed. I invite myself into the true knowledge that I am indeed moving on, and the future is bright.

Pisces: I am worthy of what I desire.
All the work that I have done since December 19, 2017 is not worthless. I’ve become the wiser. I have refined my connections and collaborations, and it is time to anchor the relationships that proved to work well. I have a clear view of the future I desire, and I won’t be building it alone. I clarify who I will be sharing my world with, and what kinds of negotiations will keep things in balance between us. I extend a special invitation to those who share my core values. I am brave enough to believe in my values, and daring enough to invest in building my reality from them. Things grow where seeds are planted. This Moon shows me what grew the last 6 months, and clarifies what to grow next.
