Full Moon in Aries

September 24, 2023

In this lunar cycle, our Full Moon in Aries is on October 17 at 7:26 am EST.

With this Full Moon, we may feel torn between what we want and what is best for the group or collective.

Because of the nature of Full Moons, with the moon and sun being opposite each other in the sky, we can feel torn, caught between two very different desires. This month the moon is in Aries, the cardinal sign of fire. Aries is all about me and what is best for me. Aries looks out for #1 that’s for sure. Meanwhile, the Sun is in Libra and urges us to look at both sides of the aisle. The Sun in Libra wants us to see and understand everyone’s point of view so we can reach a conclusion that is beneficial to all.

You can see where the tension lies in this.

We’re torn between our own personal desires and the choice that is more beneficial for the collective.

We also have the Moon aligning with Chiron, the wounded healer, bringing up an old hurt from the past. As always, anything that comes up for you or is revealed around a Full Moon is there so you can work with it and heal it, and this is no exception. This Full Moon is also square Mars and Pluto. This means we have a grand cross with Chiron, Mars, and Pluto. It’s intense! This Full Moon can bring up challenges and fears, both which activate our nervous systems into our go to mode: fight/flight/freeze/fawn. Self-care is vital this week and especially today. And by self-care, I don’t mean bubble baths, I mean taking a pause to assess where your nervous system is and what you need to feel more grounded and embodied, rather than reactive. This Full Moon is encouraging us to let go of what we’re holding on to in regards to fear, power, and control.

Some questions to ask yourself on this Full Moon:

Where are you too focused on yourself?
How can you use your talents and gifts to help fight and champion for others?
What nourishes your inner sense of fire and willpower?
