ARIES FULL MOON
To book in for a chart reading and a deep experience into self-understanding through the lens of astrology, head here. You can follow me on IG over here.
Hi, how are you? Hope you are great. Uh, I've just been teaching classes for astrology school and I'm deep in writing land, writing about the astrology of next year, which I'm loving more and more as I'm hanging out with it over the weeks. Have another week and weekend of riding and then, uh. It will be off my plate, which is so beautiful. It's so funny how, I mean, I lo I, I love writing, I love these kind of projects and at the same time, I'm sure it's similar for a lot of you, but it, it's very hard to focus on anything else fully. While there's things that. Uh, importantly need tending to, it's like they just hover over your shoulder until they're fully executed. So I'm looking forward to a little celebration. You know, spring is definitely springing and I wanna get amongst that. I was actually planning on doing a whole episode on love, uh, and then I remembered, hey, it's a full moon in Aries. This is more about. War the flip side of love. Uh, so I'll do that next week and I've got the chart for this beautiful full moon in front of me and that's what I'm gonna speak to you about today. So it will be exact on Tuesday evening or Tuesday afternoons just after 3:00 PM here in Australia. Uh, so if you in America, that will be your Monday evening. For you in Europe, that will be your Tuesday morning. Uh, and for us here in the land of Oz, it's gonna, we'll really feel it. Yeah. Tuesday into Tuesday night, and then for all of us, we'll be in this full moon phase for three and a half days. So what creates the. Charge is the exactitude of a 14 degree li Sun, opposite a 14 degree Aries moon. So let's talk about that because the ruler of Aries is our great ally and friend Mars related to our will, uh, self-determination. The force of intentionality and he's over there in Scorpio, which is interesting, uh, and will actually be conjunct Mercury, which will have just entered Scorpio on Tuesday as well. So this adds a whole lot of extra oomph to this full moon. This opposition of Libra and Aries is a lot to do with relationships. Uh, as is Scorpio and its opposite Taurus. As we begin Libra season, we really become, uh, we really glide into relationship territory and then again here with Scorpio. So with this opposition, what we're not saying, we're sure as hell feeling and. If we are leaning into the less conscious aspects of Libra, which can be people pleasing, I'm easygoing, I'm chill, I'm adaptable. I don't like confrontation. If we're leaning into that baloney and we're being the nice girl or the nice boy or whatever we think we're meant to be. Or we're reading, we're reading what we think the person wants us to say, and then we're adapting to that. If that's you, well get yourself to a boxing class on Tuesday because you might have a lot of aggression that wants to spill over. I think aggression, anger, fire is really important. It's such an important part of. Our being and emotionally, energetically, what's going to regulate us or be medicinal for us with this full moon is emotional expression, and this isn't like being a dweeb and being rude and making war with people. Just because it's an Aries full moon, like I'm not suggesting that you spill over your emotions like a child. Um, like we still, we can have a level of maturity and self-regulation here. Right. But I am suggesting though, is that you really feel your feelings during this time. Moon in fire needs to be expressed. That's what regulates it. A moon in fire, especially one as primal as Aries. Remember, like I always call Aries. It it, it's primal action. It's primal energy. If we're not allowing that aspect of ourselves to release, then that's one hell of a volcano. You know, it's like that, that fire just burns the self up. It burns our emotions. It's like we're just setting ourself on fire or we're self combusting. And so there's so many ways to do this. For me, I always think of boxing or I think of martial arts, uh, and I'm very, I feel very thankful that as a teenager. I, I mean, I trained a lot, um, as an athlete, but I, part of my cross training was boxing training and I developed a very mean right hook and. Every Monday night, getting to go to boxing class and getting to beat the shit out of something was incredibly potent for me because there was so much that needed to be expressed viscerally in a way that was not logical. It wasn't rational, it wasn't. Words that I had to say, it was feelings that I had to say, if that makes sense. It was feelings that I had to move through my body and to me, every time I think of Aries or fire signs, it's, there's a, there's a necessity to break a sweat. Like this isn't just a little. I don't know. Um, intuitive dance in your bedroom. No, we wanna scream into a pillow, you know? Um, there's something ragey and visceral and warrior-like about this. Um, and it's interesting too, like if we think about the, the Greek and then the Roman version of. Mars. One is called S one is called Mars. Uh, I can't remember now'cause I'm just going off the cuff, but one of them, can't remember if it was the Greek or Roman, sorry. You can look it up if you want to. One of them was a military strategist and loved by their people. When I, when I think of that, the way that translates to me and to my person is. Being strategic with their fire is somebody who has. Been through initiations with their, the fiery aspects of themselves, their willpower, the force of their personality, their aggression, the utilization of their more fiery emotions. They've refined their relationship to the point where it becomes the fire, becomes the slow burn The other guy. Rode on his chariot with fear and chaos and was blood thirsty and was not respected by his people. He was all about making war. He had no, he had zero relationship to his fire other than he'd walk onto the battlefield and just, it would just be absolute carnage. Um, you know, and we can think of that metaphorically in our own lives. Where does it just, where do we blow up versus where can we be artful without energy? Where with that airness, are we still bright burning feverishly in, in a desire for something, but then it, that fire is spent so quickly that we chaotically move to the next thing and the next thing and the next thing. Um, and. Sorry, I'm gonna be controversial here, but don't get me started on how, how we have this whole, like, I think there's, there's some great stuff to human design. I think there's great stuff to all of these modalities, but if people are taking so literally that they are, for example, whatever that one is, where they can start and stop. If you are giving yourself license to start and stop. All the time because you are whatever this HD thing is, or you're in Aries, you know, and you are never working to master your relationship with the start and stop, and maybe I need to look at my desires. Maybe I need to look at how I'm using my energy. Is there a more artful way of doing that? If you are not doing that, then you are missing the evolution of being whatever that HD thing is. Do you know what I mean? You're missing the evolution of what it is to have energy in Aries. It's not a license to start and stop shit for the, for your whole life. You can do that, but it's gonna be a pretty weird life. It is gonna be a pretty immature expression of what an artful Aries can be. Or an artful, whatever that HD thing can be. Um, there's my rant on that. So, uh, with the sun, with consciousness in diplomatic, artful, serene, inner equilibrium legend, uh, Libra, were able to. Gracefully look upon the primally of our emotional self and take note, but we don't wanna just take note like an air sign would. We want to viscerally be in the expression of the emotions? It's gonna be a great litmus test in terms of. Where am I not saying the thing and then I've got all this resentment and anger bubbling under the surface, or where have I learned how to be safe within myself to be direct and say the thing, where am I being true to myself? Where am I not being true to myself? You know, this is the bridge of me, which is, which is the Aries Moon. And me amongst others, which is the Sun in Libra. So anywhere where there's needs to be a level of integration, or if they're deeply imbalanced, you'll really notice that during this time. Now, the deeper layer of this is the ruler of Aries Mars being here in Scorpio, conjunct. Mercury for all of us. We're about to go into this experience of the Mars Mercury conjunction in Scorpio, which is an unbelievable instinct. If you have a sense about something, there's a very good chance that it may come to play, or you get all of the evidence that you needed during this full moon. Whatever's in the underbelly and whatever desires that you have. That are in the underbelly that you haven't been paying attention to. They may, they may knock on your door with a level of annoyance that you're still not doing the things that you want to do. This is something that, um, we were talking about in class this morning. Uh, I think for so many of us, we have a deep sense of. F what we want to do under doing those things. But then we can also thwart that expression or over complicate it or, yeah, intellectualize the thing or analyze the thing. And if this nodal axis with the south node in Virgo is teaching us anything, it's to analyze well. Yeah. On one hand, yes, it's to notice where we're doing that and then to move the hell out of that, to move ourselves out of that with action. Yeah. I just feel like there's gonna be whole layers of feeling that may arise, especially with the Mars Mercury conjunction. If there's anything that you are contemplating, uh, or you are standing at a crossroads, utilize this full moon. Utilize this conjunction of Mars and Mercury in Scorpio. Show me, show me how it is. Show me the truth. Show me what I need to see. Um, show like, show me what I need to feel as well. I hope it is a great one for you and yeah, just do make the time to sit with your feelings. This is gonna be a funny one, you know, as it ramps up towards the full moon in terms of being on the roads. This is one of those full moons where it's like, God, if I, if I didn't have to drive a car today, which I often don't, then if I don't have to drive my car too much on Tuesday, I won't be. You know, this is like, this is road rage. You know, it's a full moon. What's unconscious is, but is wanting to be expressed is our, is our more fiery emotions. So you can see how that could play out collectively, um, or, or with people who are really not in connection to this part of themselves. Um, yeah. Hope it's great and let's talk. Let's talk love. Let's talk Libra. You in love next week. Bye.
