ASTRO REPORT

After a couple of eventful weeks, we’re close to the end of Libra season. For many, this Mercury retrograde has had some of the most tangible effects they’ve experienced in a long time. I believe this to be partly because of the effects of Pluto. I find the lunations happening in the Aries - Libra axis to be some of the most powerful every year, and this could be because Cardinal signs in Astrology depict the initiation of a process or movement, that’s why cardinal signs fall in the transition of each season Spring equinox (Aries season), Summer equinox (Cancer season), Fall equinox (Libra season), Winter equinox (Capricorn season). But also because this lunation is putting closure to what we initiated during the time we experienced the New Moon in Aries this year (March 28th). Aries season is considered as the ‘Astrological New Year’ and that’s why these lunations (New Moon & Full Moon in Aries) tend to have a stronger manifestations and feel more real and intense.

The Full Moon will be peaking at 27º26’ of Aries, falling in the third Mansion, which is ruled by 25º degrees of Aries to 8º Taurus. Funnily enough, this Mansion of the Moon teaches us life is all about balance, and that instead of seeking for more or new experiences, we should focus on sustaining what we already have in our lives. This mansion was considered very auspicious when asking for new career opportunities. A distinct T-square is pulling the strings of an imaginary bow, pointing towards our future. There’s a world of possibilities ahead of us, only if we are able to release the tension (fears) that are holding us back.

There are some positive aspects supporting this Full Moon. Venus is in the joyful sign of Sagittarius (making a very wide trine to the Full Moon through the lenses of traditional astrology), Mars is currently at detriment (debilitated) in Libra and being combusted by the Sun so the malefic side-effects of Mars are being diminished during this lunation. Mars will have its own resurrection later on October 30th when it moves to its traditional domicile sign of Scorpio regaining his strength in a way that makes him more auspicious to work with.

Now let's break down the effects and possible manifestations for each sign during this Full Moon in Aries.

*To make the most of your horoscopes remember to read for your rising sign first, then for your Sun sign if you were born during the day or your Moon sign if you were born at night.

ARIES SUN, MOON OR RISING

Keywords: ego, body, energy levels, personality

The Full Moon in Aries is highlighting your first house, one of the most personal areas in the chart, which happens to be your comfort zone since you’re the natural ruler of this house. This may manifest as a boost of energy for you, a moment of connection where things start to flow seamlessly in your life. While Mars, your natural ruler is currently in detriment in the sign of Libra, it is also being combusted by the energy of the Sun. Make sure you surround yourself with people who support you and your vision, that make you feel secure and uplifted.

Taurus the Full Moon in Aries will activate your 12th house which is often a house we have a hard time looking at, since it’s where we bury the things we fear, traumatic events, what creates discomfort.

This Full Moon marks the end of a cycle we started back in Aries season, about six months ago. Take the lessons you’ve learnt with you and leave what feels heavy. Jupiter is now direct activating your 10th house of career and purpose, creating nice sextiles to the Full Moon. Maybe this will be a nice opportunity to revisit your current long-term goals to make sure these still make sense in your life.

I know you value privacy the most, though expressing how we truly feel is the only way others can fully understand us and what is crossing our minds. Now Mercury and Jupiter are direct, you will finally feel more in tune with yourself and your thoughts. The birth of a new idea or connection could also manifest during this lunation. Pay attention to the signs and your surroundings.

Dear Scorpio, the Full Moon in Aries is currently activating your 6th house, inviting you to revisit your current routine, making sure what you do everyday is supporting you. This is the house of the mundane, but is also known as the house of healing. Only we can heal ourselves (metaphorically speaking). What we do everyday has the ability to either create bridges between realities or burn them. If you feel stagnant, stressed or lost, this Full Moon is inviting you to establish new rituals that are more in alignment with your current situation. A big 6 months chapter is coming full circle.

Mercury and Jupiter (your ruler) are now direct, opening new doors for you to make new meaningful connections and explore new environments.

Tarot: The Lovers Reversed ✦ The Lovers is in this case seen as a mirror. It reminds us our choices define who we are, and how these are constantly changing. Though, it is through them we can understand the true nature of our soul. What choices have you made recently? What do these say about you? How do these represent you? As the Lovers appeared reversed, it can indicate there is a disconnection between your choices and the purpose of your soul. Make sure you ask yourself these questions and reevaluate your beliefs.

CAPRICORN SUN, MOON OR RISING

Keywords: home, family, boundaries, foundations

The Full Moon is highlighting your 4th house Capricorn, where we see our home environment and safety. This Full Moon is inviting you to establish new boundaries. Remember our boundaries allow us to filter our experiences, as well as our connection with others. It is clear you have changed in the past 6 months, like we all have. What used to offer you support and comfort back then may no longer be something that applies to today. Mercury and Jupiter are now direct, helping you to find new inspirations and a sense of hope in life. We are now coming out from a dark place, where a new journey unfolds in front of us. Do not feel you need to stick to old experiences because you worked really hard on making those succeed. It is now time to reinvent yourself. Allow new inspirations to flow over you.

Tarot: Queen of Talismans (Pentacles) Reversed ✦ When the Queen of Talismans appears reversed, she invites us to reevaluate our own worth. You may be going through a face where it is hard to witness your potential, though this card is reminding you you are capable of success, abundance and affluence. These are and will always be available to you, only if you believe in yourself. Do not waste your energy in wondering what others may think of you, instead focus all of that energy inwards. Make use of your potential.

AQUARIUS SUN, MOON OR RISING

Aquarius the Full Moon is creating an activation in your 3rd house of communication, knowledge and close environment. Now that Jupiter and Saturn are direct, the energy flows freely again. Conversations have a different tone of voice, they feel more empowering and uplifting. We can say the way in which you communicate now feels in alignment with your values, after the chaos and confusions that arose during the Mercury retrograde are starting to dissipate. This is also a time for you to be in charge of your future, to be the one that defines the rules, instead of being influenced by the opinion of others.

Tarot: Alchemy (Temperance) ✦ When the Temperance card appears in a reading, it is reminding us we are alchemists and, therefore, creators of our own reality. In order to master the elements, proficiency is required. After trials and errors we can find our own formula to success. What does success mean to you? What things need to happen in order for you to feel successful? 

PISCES SUN, MOON OR RISING

Keywords: finances, values, security, self-worth

The Full Moon in Aries is highlighting your 2nd house Pisces, which is directly connected to your values and wealth.

It seems you have outgrown your own skin and it is now time you allow new experiences to come into your life. You have learnt a lot about yourself, your needs, and your wants up until now. So it is time to manifest those desires into your physical reality.

Tarot: The Oracle (The Hierophant) ✦ What a reminder from the Universe to seek your own truth. The Oracle is a symbol of inspiration, wisdom and trust.
