The Astrology of the Full Moon
The Full Moon in Aries is happening on the 20th October 2021 at 14:56 GMT. It will culminate a cycle which started 6 months ago during the New Moon in Aries. The Sun in Libra and the Moon in Aries will be in the 27th degree, which places them in Gemini-Sagittarius decans respectively. This is the reason why the lunar nodes will get activated and karmically triggered by this Full Moon as well – they are currently transiting Gemini-Sagittarius.
The ruler of the Full Moon Mars is in conjunction with the Sun, therefore in opposition to the Moon. The rulers of the decans Mercury and Jupiter have just stationed direct after being retrograde.
There is a lot of pent up energy bursting up right now and in the upcoming couple of weeks that will be illuminated by the Full Moon.
What Does This All Mean?
- Aries is all about beginnings – it’s the first sign of the zodiac, it signifies the soul as a baby – the pure ego. Its cardinal energy pushes things forward, comes up with new ideas and starts major cycles in our lives. A full moon, however, is all about culmination, completion and letting go – endings. What have you started that you might want to let go of before it even takes off? This one is also happening in the 27th degree of the sign, towards the end. So we need to combine our need for new-ness with our need for endings and release. This is a huge sign from the universe that in order to bring in the new, we need to let go of the old. The Gemini – Sagittarius decan indicates we can do this through communication, openness, by being true to ourselves and real with others.
- The Sun in Libra will require for this process to go with consideration for others. We need to be ourselves, but be assertive in a way that doesn’t hurt the other person. We need to be connected while being individuals. This isn’t an easy process.
- Mars as a ruler of the event is still in detriment in Libra, also in opposition to the Moon and about to square Pluto – do we tend to take actions that oppose our emotional truth? Is Pluto clouding our emotions and actions and making them too erratic? Are we too suspicious? How could that harm us? Mars’ current ruler Venus is transiting Sagittarius but it’s in an Aries decan. What are we trying to teach someone else, and are we helpful or selfish about it?
- Jupiter, the Full Moon decan ruler, just got out of its retrograde period and it gained additional strength by term, while it’s also trining the Sun and sextiling the Moon during the Full Moon. A lot of energy that has been suppressed in the past 4-5 months is getting activated. In Aquarius, it might talk about how you view freedom and equality, but also responsibility. Jupiter will help with those aspects and it will make us more aware. More in the know.
- Mercury, the Sun decan ruler also got out of a retrograde period and it’s applying a sextile to Venus and separating trine to Saturn. We came back close to reviewing past responsibilities and now we get to reap the rewards of our efforts to be better communicators and better partners.
What Should You Do?
- Full Moons are about cleansing and letting go. It’s a great time to release what no longer serves you. Write down a list of what’s bothering you in your life, especially regarding your own ego and how you assert yourself in the world, and how your partnerships and relationships develop, and then burn the paper.
- Do a meditation that frees you – if you feel negatively connected to someone, do a cutting cords meditation. If you feel overwhelmed, do a relaxing meditation.
- Light up a candle and while looking at the flame visualize it cleansing your body.
- Do a cleanse or at least drink more fluids and eat clean foods – our bodies are more sensitive around this time, especially when the Full Moon is in Aries.
