October 2020 – Full Moon in Aries

It’s a Full Moon in Aries! This morning, a Cardinal came to my window, which is a bird that is associated with Mars/Aries, given it’s color, temperament etc — it’s the bird in the video game “Angry Birds”! Mercury is also moving into an opposition with Uranus (more about that once the Moon moves into Taurus).

Today we can expect:

– A situation coming to a head — enough is enough!
– High energy
– Heated tempers, heated exchanges
– Technology problems (my car is having electrical issues yet again!)
– A tendency towards impulsive behavior
– Themes of balance in relationships being in the spotlight

Full moons often bring drama of some kind, so do whatever you have to do to stay balanced, and be kind to yourself and others today/tomorrow! Make sure to have some emergency wine & chocolate on hand.

The ruler of Aries, Mars is currently retrograde and is in a tight square with Saturn. When a planet is retrograde, there is an energy of revision, or something or someone from the past coming back into your life (often a Man during Mars rx). Saturn is all about limitation and restriction, which although is difficult to go through, allows us to gain perspective on what really matters, and to grow. Pressure produces diamonds, as my Mum used to say.

This transit is most poignant for people with planets/placements in:

– Aries
– Libra
– Capricorn
– Cancer

Taurus, Scorpio, Gemini & Virgo people will be starting to feel an energy of disruption, revolution, or encounter something unexpected or out of the blue over the next 2 – 3 days. Though, depending on whether you have planets in these signs, other sun/moon/rising signs may encounter something like this also. Share your experiences in the comments!
