How many of us had an intense week or couple of weeks? Feeling completely drained or over whelmed?
Don't worry, you're not alone!
Libra season has been full of cosmic shifts, from Pluto finally completing it's 5 month retrograde period & stationing direct on Oct. 3, to Mercury & Venus shifting into the sign of Scorpio earlier this week. Trust me, it's only natural that you're feeling these shifts in energies!
The Hunter Full Moon on Sunday October 13th, holds A LOT of energy leading up to it, for it's time to spark an internal shift into a higher sense of self awareness. Are you ready?
Let's start off with the strongest shifts we probably felt; Mercury & Venus entering the sign of Scorpio. These shifts were heavily felt for not only are these planets so close to us, that we are more susceptible to their energies, but also because as these planets passed into the sign of Scorpio they created a very powerful aspect. Both planets formed oppositions to Uranus stationed retrograde in Taurus (energies behind oppositions can be conflicting & tense at times, but force us to find balance between these two opposing forces) . As Mercury, the planet of the mind, communication, & understanding, created an opposition to Uranus, the planet of evolution, awakening, & abrupt change earlier this week; it is no surprise if you noticed tension or conflicts within your life unexpectedly arise. Having unpredictable situations arising does not always sit well with Scorpio energy, as it likes to maintain control & power in most circumstances. Earlier this week we might have felt we lost control during sudden situations in our lives, whether this was an unexpected conflict with another, feeling trapped/overwhelmed by a situation, or simply just feeling so out of alignment from the path you were steadily on. Having something suddenly arise that felt beyond our power under this Scorpio energy could have easily left our minds & emotions spinning. While this caused a lot of tension within us, or even shook us into crisis mode, it became a time to surrender, take a step back, & gain a heightened sense of perspective.
Our saving grace within this time, has been the Sun & Mars still within the sign of Libra. This lingerie Libra energy has the potential to help us stay within a state of neutrality. While we mentally may have been flustered with the situations in front of us, the energy of Mars in Libra was calling us to take a step back, gain perspective on the situation, & weigh out what would be the best action to take to overcome this obstacle. Receiving the urge to take a step back for this Libra energy to evaluate was exactly what this Mercury in Scorpio energy needed. Since a Scorpio Mercury likes to stay in mental control, this energy is at it's best when it gets the chance to take a dive into gaining a deeper understanding. This step back gave our minds the time to read between the lines, analyze, & gather a new comprehension as to why this situation was happening, & how this may be stimulating us to grow.
While this sums up the energy we may have felt within the week leading up to Sunday's Full Moon, the cosmos still have plenty energy to serve us under the light of this Aries moon.
Giggling in his far off little corner is Pluto, while it was easy to assume that since he returned back into prograde (moving forward in orbit) that we'd be safe from him sweeping up old traumas, triggers & repressed emotions that we abandoned long ago; but to our surprise he is still very much active. In fact he's come back to play & make a square aspect to the full moon, a square aspect can also bring up tense energies. Pluto squaring off the Full Moon in Aries is shedding light on impulsive, destructive, & toxic behaviors that we've long become comfortable with expressing in times of great stress or conflict. These behaviors may have resurfaced during these unexpected situations we faced earlier in the week. Maybe we were the ones that resorted back to these subconsciously programed behaviors or we saw these behaviors arise in others, & are now having to conflict with, or offer a helping hand to this person displaying your own dark traits. While this energy can come across as conflicting at first, it urges you to refrain and revaluate why this dark behavior is resurfacing & what triggered it. If you are now viewing or dealing with this dark personal trait through an outside perspective, what is this karma trying to teach you? Is the universe sending you a dose of humility by seeing the magnitude of this behavior from the outside looking in? Is this a deep layer of yourself that is ready to be released once & for all? Does this deeply rooted behavior no longer agree with the person this year has been pushing you to become?
Through all this tension & conflict arising, our sense of self awareness is heightening. It's time to release the deeply buried defense mechanisms that surface when we're faced with dilemmas that make us feel we're at a loss of control, or just completely defeated. With the Aries Full Moon in opposition to the Libra sun, it's time to regain personal & emotional balance. It's time to take the focus away from the conflict & take into account what we need to emotionally reform within ourselves & our behaviors. This way we can shed that layer of ourselves that we have outgrown under this Full Moon & can take a step forward into embodying & committing to the person we're becoming. Aries is all about stepping into our personal will & power, regaining our sense of self & understanding of our personal identity. The fiery 'go getting' energy of Aries is ready to move on to the next chapter in our journeys, it's ready to release that old baggage that will only make our ventures much more difficult. As the Aries Moon makes a trine to Jupiter in Sagittarius, it focuses it's gaze forward with optimism, & is well prepared for personal growth & expansion!
If you have any questions about this full moon, or would like a personal moon transit reading to see where in your birth chart & life you will be feeling all this intense emotional expansion feel free to DM me on my Instagram account & we can set up a session! :)
Many blessings during this Full Moon, may you remember to take the opportunity to turn dilemmas into self growth!
