The energies of this Full Moon can be destructive and explosive. The element of Fire is in play and volatility is the main watchword. This Full Moon is in a square to Pluto which brings out the shadow and our subconscious programming, which for some can be quite disturbing. If you are feeling more irritable than usual, practice patience to avoid sudden explosions of temper. Remember too, that the conditions and energies of this Moon will be more powerful for those whose charts are within orb of the Full Moon. We may feel more anger than usual which is a good indicator of where one is being triggered. Remember you are responsible for your responses.
This Harvest Full Moon can bring us to an emotional peak. Feelings can run high and hot in Aries. Aries energy is naturally impatient and impulsive, and goes to anger easily. Shake off any lack of vitality and use this strong fire to ignite your passion and joy in life instead. This Aries Full Moon also represents our ability to be courageous and to step outside of our normal comfort zone to become active in meaningful areas of community service and political events. How can you be a positive participant? How can you work with others to make a difference in this chaotic world?
Aries–Libra represents the relationship between self and other. Libra tends to sacrifice for relationship and after a time of selfless giving, Libra can become resentful and angry. Check your boundaries and seek harmony and balance. Be your own best friend.
Mercury is also in Libra and in opposition to the Aries Moon. It is a good time to speak our truth, using compassion and kindness with Libra diplomacy. Always remember that tact and patience is power, not weakness.
Pluto in Capricorn is squaring this Full Moon polarity. Capricorn in a square represents hardening and clinging to old structures for security. Think about where you may be too rigid in your thinking, where you need to be more flexible and open to new ideas, and what you need to embrace to own your power and to change with grace.
For the past year, Jupiter and Uranus have inspired radical change in many scattered directions. Our world is rapidly changing and these changes are not arbitrary. They are meaningful and purposeful, however challenging and painful. All Astrological aspects are designed to wake us up, to help us evolve.
Mars and Venus, the rulers of Aries and Libra, are conjunct at 19° Virgo and square Saturn at 22° Sagittarius. Patience, dedication, and right timing are needed to carefully navigate and integrate this Full Moon. Saturn brings awareness to what is and isn’t working so we may receive insights about how to be more effective agents of service through the chaos.

A Full Moon symbolizes the fulfillment of the seeds planted at a previous New Moon or some earlier cycle. Each Full Moon reminds us of the seeds that may be coming to maturity, to their fullness, to fruition, to the place where the fruits or gifts are received. It may seem that fulfillment of our goals takes a long time. Some intentions may manifest within the two week phase prior to the next New or Full Moon. Some however, depending on their complexity, may take a much longer time. Just remember that our thoughts and emotions set Universal Action in motion and much work takes place behind the scenes as everything is orchestrated for fulfillment. Keep visualizing your goals as though you have already attained them and they will eventually manifest. Do not concern yourself with current conditions or worry about controlling it. The universe takes care of those details. Just keep seeing what you want, and move in that direction with your actions, and give no energy to what you don’t want. Patience is required.
