Guidance on using this Aries Full Moon to strengthen your Self-Healing Journey

The Sun- the life and vitality of the current events is in the cardinal air sign of Libra representing initiating connection with others opposing the Moon-the emotional response to those current events is in the cardinal sign of Aries representing initiating self will. The Key word that brings these cardinal signs together is initiating. All cardinal signs have an initiating quality to them. Aries and Libra are polarity signs because one wants to initiate what the other wants to turn away from.This full moon in Aries is asking us to lay certain toxic traits on the Altar of our becoming- this theme is strengthened when we look at what the planet Mercury is doing. Mercury just entered the sign of Scorpio. Scorpio is ruled by both Mars and Pluto. It is a fixed water sign inviting us deeper into our emotional truth so that we can alchemize the darker, shadow emotions we are seeing our lives through like fear and betrayal so that we can heal and rise higher into our truth. This process is typically facilitated through intimate connections with others. With Mercury being at the zero degree point of Scorpio it is approaching an exact square to Pluto- one of the rulers of Scorpio in the sign of Aquarius-which is a fixed air sign inviting us out of our emotions and into our minds to consider and honor what the group needs.This Substack is reader-supported.

This square can bring a climax of anger because what we feel and what we think are at odds.The Benefic Sisters-Venus and Jupiter have an opportunity to ground us into feeling valid in our wants and desires to have it all and honor it all and gosh darnit put it all on the calendar! Venus in Virgo is working over time to make sure it all can happen and that nothing, and no one feels cast aside, especially because she is working very closely with the South Node in Virgo which is making sure there is a thorough clearing out of all that is not working any longer. Venus connects us with what we value and in the organization and system honoring sign of Virgo we are somehow doing it all -even though we have no idea how or if we even like it. Jupiter in the sensitive, emotional, go-inward sign of Cancer reminds Venus in Virgo that cancelling plans to stay home and take a bath or bake cookies is sometimes the best way to use discernment when we look at the fullness of our schedules. The mastery we are being invited into with Venus in Virgo sextile Jupiter is remembering that even though we can do it all doesn’t mean we should and practicing discernment in moments where we may have gone too far is vital.Jupiter in Cancer is also in a square or point of tension with Chiron in Aries-our collective soul wound as well as Eris in Aries-where we feel ‘othered’. We are needing to take a fresh look at ourselves and how far we have come since we were wee little ones. We aren’t meant to compare with others but with the other versions of ourselves we seem to have grown out of if we look hard enough. We seem to be finding our people that don’t reconnect us with the experience of feeling ‘othered’ when we take the time to look around in the present moment. Jupiter in Cancer is also in a harmonious trine with our sacred rage Diva: Dark Moon Lilith in the emotionally intense water sign of Scorpio. We get to feel what we feel and we don’t have to feel shameful about it but we do need to be with why we are angry and ask honest questions about who’s anger it is to begin with.Our planet of rebellion and be who you are-Uranus in the chatty duality sign of Gemini is having some interesting conversations with other planets this Full Moon as well. It is talking possibility with our planet of dissolving anything but unconditional love-Neptune in the sign of Aries helping us stay abreast to who we are becoming and in connection with our future self. Uranus in Gemini is also trining Pluto in Aquarius facilitating conversations that need to be had for us to continue to walk blindly into the future trusting there is indeed a rightful place for each of us there. Even though the planet Mars isn’t making any aspects to other planets during this Full Moon-I would still call this a very Mars Full Moon-as it is in Aries the sign that Mars rules and Mars is in the sign of Scorpio-the other sign that Mars co-rules. With that Mercury in Scorpio squaring Pluto in Aquarius it is clear that Mars and Pluto are very key players in this Full Moon making it a grand opportunity to examine where in our lives are our actions motivated by fear, betrayal, and the shadow aspects of who we have become, and are we ready to allow those parts to heal by acknowledging why we are angry and what the root of our anger actually is?This Substack is reader-supported.
