With the Moon culminating in the aggressive sign of Aries, we are faced with strong feelings about taking bold action. Meanwhile, we still collectively are exploring those intellectual ideals about how to gently achieve peace and justice now, courtesy of the Sun stationed in the opposite, agreeable sign of Libra. This current contrast serves to highlight what we are willing to do to create harmony as we decide which conflicts require our attention to resolve once and for all.

At its best, the Aries energy is decisive, ready, and determined, which encourages us to act boldly.

However, the pull between the sun and the moon can have us caught off guard by our emotions, especially anger, impatience, and frustration, which may be causing us to feel impulsive or reckless. We can best navigate this time in honor of fire sign Aries by focusing our excess energy to express it in healthy ways.

The Aries full Moon can be impulsive and erratic. Emotions may be touchy, temperamental or explosive. Should any negative feelings come up, this is a great time to take a walk–or even better, a quick jog–around the block, then come back once you are ready to calmly consider a perspective different than your own.

As always, these energies apply to groups of all sizes as much as they apply to individuals. So, stay mindful about keeping the peace while you process any raw feelings that come up about acting out. The best advice is not about watering down your approach or your feelings but rather, try to fully honor all viewpoints, so you can best find ways to meaningfully incorporate the highest-minded ideals with new proactive strategies for the good of everyone involved.

We must have diplomacy and patience while we also figure out how to initiate fast and strong results. Find the common ground in awareness of the higher values of COURAGE, PEACEMAKING, and MINDFULNESS. The polarity between the Libra Sun and Aries Moon requires negotiating how we all hold our energy and emotions now. 

“Take stands, take risks, take responsibility.”

Muriel Siebert

As always, full moons bring difficult emotions to a head. While we do our best now to make sure we are all charitable and noble, we may find provocative or shocking outbursts are testing our resolve, which may incite hurt, stress, irritation and angst. Try to not take other people’s behavior personally, but do be aware of other people’s feelings and views.

While the full moon does have a collective effect on all of us, each person may respond somewhat differently to this same planetary aspect. The intensity will be greater or lesser depending on how well aligned you have your current thoughts and feelings. When you are living in your highest truth, the environment and things that happen around you are not as overwhelming.

“Everything you want is just outside your comfort zone.”

Robert Allen

This Full Moon brings illumination, which often appears through any of the preferred subject areas of Aries, including: PHYSICAL ACTION, blazing new trails, INNOVATION, initiating something new, SELF FOCUS, exercise, STRENGTH, instincts, HONESTY, authenticity, straightforwardness, INNOCENCE, self discovery, EXPLORATION, taking risks, competition, SELF RELIANCE, independence, self direction, AUTONOMY, courage, SELF SUFFICIENCY, vigilance, BOLDNESS, leadership, and in the body Aries rules the head, brain, face, scalp and eyes.

Try to remember that whatever is happening in your life is occurring as part of your journey. Sometimes the details are pleasing and other times the lessons are difficult . .either way, there is always something to be learned. And being prepared is the secret to more easily navigating all of it, on the way to living your best life!

This lunar phase comes with support from lucky Jupiter in Aquarius. Thank goodness Jupiter, the planet of joy and good fortune, has recently resumed its forward motion! Blessings and opportunities are improving in brilliant ways that can be stimulated by your intuition and feelings of optimism.

Meanwhile, initiating Mars and transformative Pluto instigate matters. Mars in Libra can mean wishy-washy or superficial actions can backfire. Instead be mindful and take a true stand when needed. Similarly, powerhouse Pluto in all serious Capricorn may provoke animosity, if people’s feelings are not taken into account. So, be sensitive to what you experience as well as the feelings of those around you. And again, take time for mindfulness before reacting to anything which may be triggering. 

“Initiative is doing the right thing without being told.”

Victor Hugo

The next new moon arrives in two weeks in the sign of Libra. Libra is the second AIR sign of the zodiac representing thinking. Libra time of year is powerful for intellectual pursuits especially related to peace, justice, fairness and diplomacy.
