The full Moon in Aries comes charging in with a dynamic burst of lunar energy. There’s nothing subtle about Aries and this full moon is ripe for direct action fueled by emotion.
The Moon in Aries can leave us feeling a little worse for wear once it begins to wane depending on how we make use of this energy here and now. There can be a tendency to rush in and react impulsively without any forethought of what the consequences may be. Mars energy can be a little dangerous so we have to be careful how we use it. It has courage, strength and packs a punch so remember to tread lightly before committing to any course of action. The same energy governs aggressive tendencies as much as it does those that are assertive. One can work for us, the other against us. Walls can go up for one, the other can break down barriers.
The Moon in Aries finds its counterbalance with the Sun in Libra. The opposition between the two creates a tension that can be positive yet difficult. The Sun in Libra is motivated by a strong sense of achievement through diplomatic means, the Moon in Aries finds motivation through confident self promotion.
At the time of this full moon, Chiron is conjunct the Moon providing an opportunity to use this Aries energy to productively work through some of the essential wounds that may impact our perception of self. The catch phrase or key words for Aries is “I am” which can therefore pose the question – “who am I?”. Under the bright night sky, take some time in full awareness with eyes wide open to reveal your true, authentic self, battle scars and all. Take a moment under the light of this full moon to acknowledge how far you’ve come, to accept and celebrate the “I am” that is you.
The Sun, Moon and Chiron form a T-square with Mars in Cancer so this combination of energy is directed to this point which encourages active nurturing of self. Mars is in Fall in Cancer so is not all that comfortable with the caring and sharing but always manages to find a way, even if it’s from an offside position.
The Moon and Mars are in mutual reception meaning that they each are placed in the sign of the other’s rulership. So, at this moment in time they have an alliance going on and an understanding of each other which can be both supportive and productive.
