Full Moon in Aries
This Full Moon is coming to us after four planets have returned direct (Saturn, Pluto, Mercury, Jupiter). Full Moons are associated with completion and ending of cycles. However, this full moon being in Aries, the cardinal energy from both Aries and Cancer pushes us to evaluate what we’ve learned from these retrogrades, and wash away what stands in the way of new realized dreams or routines. Cleanse your life of anything that stops you from progressing.
Because Aries is the first sign in the zodiac, it rules the first house and the head of the body. A nice facial, or deep conditioning will be helpful during this time, to shed any dead skin, and enter the Waning period with fresh skin.
Moon Trine Venus
The current Full Moon in Aries is intense and powerful. Aries wants you to push forward. The Full Moon being trine with Venus in Sagittarius, creates the perfect combination for a passionate filled week. Exploration is the key here. The Moon is our nurturer and Venus seeks out pleasure. Combining these two, causes for new experiences that make you feel comforted, in an exhilarating way. Like a new experience that you were meant to do. What are you going to try today?
Moon Opposite Mercury
Mercury guides us on how we think, process and communicate. The opposition to the Full Moon introduces this temperamental energy that’ll have you shifting emotions very quickly. There are a lot of extremes at play here. One moment you may be stuck in an analytical cycle where the same thoughts are running through your mind on a loop, and then quickly shift into being overly expressive and irrational. Find a happy medium between these two altered states. Opposition transits are lessons. How can you develop a sufficient amount of consciousness to be able to make two opposites work in your favor?
Mercury Trine Saturn
As you read previously, Mercury influences our mental processes and general communication. Saturn is the planet of Karma and Restriction. With the Mercury retrograde ended, this transit allows for easy flow on concentration. You’ll be more detail oriented and/or more organized than usual. It is recommended to hold off on making big decisions, due to the other transits taking place. Take this time to do meticulous tasks that require long term concentration and to finish projects that have been lingering around. Normally this transit is great for making big decisions, but because other transits are in play, it is recommended to stick to unfinished projects and tasks that are normally tedious.
Mars Square Pluto
These are two very intense planets with a conflict driven transit. Here‘s what you need to know. Mars is reactive; it influences how you respond to threatening situations, including when your ego is threatened. Pluto is all about destroying that which no longer serves, to make way for a new cycle to begin. During this time, people will be on the defense and some people will have no problem letting go. This is a great time to finally let go of that something or someone that you just can’t seem to forget. And definitely think before you speak or make a move.
Overall Advice
This is a time to focus on yourself. Favors for others is kind and thoughtful, but be careful that doesn’t interfere with what you have to do, for your own progress. The conflicts that may be circling you, may not bring resolution. They are most likely ego fueled, so again, stick to yourself to avoid any unnecessary tension. This solitude will create an opening for peace and harmony to enter your life.
