Aries Full Moon

“Remain steady and allow the world the shape itself.” While the 10/17 Full Moon sits in Mars-ruled Aries, the correspondences say Venus and Eris (the goddess of discord who ensures the moral compass of the universe is pointed towards justice) are the stars of the show.

The Tarot majors for this Full Moon include The Emperor (Aries), The Tower (Mars rules Aries), Justice (Libra), The Empress (rules both Libra and Aries’ 3rd decan), and The Wheel of Fortune (Jupiter rules the 3rd decan of Libra). All 4 elements are once again present in these 3rd decans with the Knight of Cups, Knight of Pentacles, and 4s of Swords and Wands painting a story of steady, heartfelt progress towards a more stable foundation.

The Moon and Eris both sit in Aries 25 (A double promise) – a symbol related to envisioning what you want to experience, holding optimism and faith. With Venus moving into optimistic Sagittarius the same day as this Full Moon, it may be easier than normal for us to harness this energy. The Sun sits in Libra 25 (Information in the symbol of an autumn leaf), a symbol about a symbol! A meta-reminder that profound insights can arrive unexpected and fleeting moments – what signs are showing up for you this Fall? Trust them.

The Full Moon also sits in Hexagram 42 (Increase), Line 5 while the Sun is in Hexagram 32 (Duration), Line 5. These both portend auspicious outcomes for a sincere, receptive, progressive and intuitive approach vs a hyper-logical, control-based, conservative approach. They encourage kindness and detachment from outcome – especially as it relates to the paths others are choosing at this time.

Focus on creating a steady, emotionally fulfilling, heart-centered foundation within your own soul and worry less about what others may think or the choices they’re making – what’s meant to attract itself to you at this time will match the energy you’re putting out.
