Full Moon in Aries

The Full Moon in Aries on October 20, 2021 (at 10:57EST) is a bonfire. Strike a match.

A thrill of a Moon. Game on. Go for the gold.

Come on baby, light my fire.

Both lunations in October feature Mars, planet of action, speed, and aggression. Mars assists us in severing from what isn’t meant for us, and wielding our bravery to move forward into new beginnings.

A spark has been lit. Something is getting started. An initiation has already begun.

This month has been animated with accelerated movement and momentum.

Separation and connection. Disagreement and harmony. Missteps and reconciliation.

The question is, what are we going to do next?

What do we really want? Are you willing to receive what you want?

Can we trust and believe that what we desire is possible to achieve - and that somebody out there wants it, too?

What is the vision for our upcoming adventure?

The vision is given to those with eyes to see it, and with the spiritual valor to carry it forth. 

Welcome in divine assistance! These are mapless lands, but many sources will step in to advise along the way.

This Full Moon illuminates the tension between self and other. The dynamic struggle and high art of meeting in the middle, relating, and cooperating. The striving for peace, union, and beauty.

Pluto in Capricorn heavily informs the energy of this lunation.

The underbelly of the old manifest paradigm still clings to and manipulates our behaviors.

We wade in the swamp of shadow and treasure that is the ruin of empire.

As we face the dregs of ongoing endings and promises of dearth, we excavate fears and unearth the courage to strive beyond the barren field of famine.

There are forces far bigger, older, and more compelling than dominion and false power.

The bones, the stones, the dragons in the mountains. The sincerity of deepest impulse. The regular folk woven together by the codes inscribed on their souls. The clouds of birds carrying seeds in their mouths. And the love that is consciousness, inspiring those seeds to grow.

We are the shining ones rising in this night. We are re-forged in this alchemical fire as the lovers and as the torches who make it possible for life to continue.

This unstoppable strength has always lived within us. Conditions coax it and welcome it now to give rise to itself.

These seeds, these visions are for all of us. They are what living existence is honestly made of.

Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn are now all direct, giving us a green light on forward motion.

Mercury retrograde in Libra September 27-October 18 has had us revisit relationships, and review agreements in a charged and divisive climate of indecision, judgement, and misunderstanding. Sometimes we can’t all get along and things get personal.

Since Mercury is now direct, we can access more clarity and soundness of mind in our relationships and contracts.

Libra is not the most decisive placement for Mercury. But it is great at weighing options, gathering advice, mediating differences, and relating with fairness and diplomacy.

Head’s up: Mercury will clear its retrograde shadow on November 3, but not without a final stress encounter with Pluto on November 2. Some of the mental and emotional intensity that surfaced September 27-October 4 can re-activate as more information comes out of the woodwork.

We have officially entered the final phase of Jupiter in Aquarius, a period of expansion that began December 19, 2020 and will complete December 29, 2021.

How have you grown since Jupiter entered Aquarius December 19, 2020? What have you been exploring during that time?

What are some leaps and bounds in consciousness that have resulted from the questions you have been asking and living into?

For the next 10 weeks, we will be completing the outstanding lessons of Jupiter in Aquarius. Reflect on the period of March 26, 2021 until May 12, 2021, as Jupiter already moved through this area of the zodiac earlier in the year.

Saturn in Aquarius continues to place pressure on the growth process of Jupiter until Jupiter changes signs at the end of 2021.

The accomplishments we make over the next couple of months on collaborating, rebelling, freeing ourselves, and restructuring society, will be hard-earned.

For now, enjoy the ride of this sweet and spicy Full Moon. Unearth your most honest desires and have the guts and the temperance to move them forward.

As always, the power of love is All.
