The biggest part of this Full Moon in Aries is that the Moon conjuncts with Uranus also in Aries along with Eris. Being a Full Moon all of the above are in opposition to the Sun at 23 degrees Libra.
The most evolved way to express this combination would be enlightenment; electric flashes of inspiration or insight from the Universe. But, being in Aries some more negative expressions of this Full Moon may manifest like: volatile emotions, anger, forceful expression of what ‘I’ want, individual wants/needs as opposed to the collective wants/needs. Unexpected, sudden, emotion or/and sudden change, whether from within the individual or from others towards the individual. The operative word being, sudden, unexpected…especially where you may be stuck (in a repetitive pattern that needs to be broken so you can get on your path).
Mercury in Libra (balanced thought and communication) sextiles (provides opportunity) to Saturn in Sagittarius which provides substance and form to rules and regulations. I think this may herald a more official legal document/charter/guide on how we process our refugees (remember Sagittarius rules the 9th house of foreigners and natural law). Mercury in Libra squares Pluto which conjuncts Mars. Rebellion and resistance against what is being proposed. Collectively, uprisings, powerful fighting forces. (especially when Mars conjuncts Pluto exactly on 20 October 2016). Individually, we may decide what the right thing to do regarding the rules you want to live by. Powerful, heartfelt communication about boundaries may ensue.
Venus in the last degrees of sultry, deep Scorpio forms a trine to Chiron in Pisces. The feminine with deep issues access healing waters. Soulmates unite and a healing bridge is formed between them. Black Moon Lilith is also in Scorpio and sextile Mars in Capricorn; transformative energies see the light of day. A Eureka moment, when hard work on many buried issues bears fruit and the light is seen; darkness banished. This also goes back to the theme of enlightenment with this Full Moon in Aries conjunct Uranus.
For those with the Sun or Ascendant (to a lesser degree Moon) in Aries this may be a big change moment where you either get solid confirmation from the Universe you are on the right path or, you are ‘put’ on the path with assistance from the Universe (this may appear as events or people coming into your life). This does not have to be a negative experience but, if you’ve been sticking your head in the sand, this may force you to look at reality and do something about it! Kindness to ourselves and others will go a long way. Counting to 10 before speaking or acting might also be a good piece of advice. Meditation, calming music, friends, and family may be good to keep close during this time. Good Luck everyone!
Sabian Symbol for 24 degrees Aries
“Blown inward by wind, the curtains of an open window take the shape of a cornucopia” 1. p. 67
This suggests that wind representing the spirit, source, the universe energies, are influencing the transformative effects of consciousness awareness.
Linking this with the Full Moon in Aries aspects it suggests that an opportunity from the Universe will manifest to those that are receptive to reach higher levels of awareness. For those not open to this? They may receive a sudden, unexpected change to jolt them onto the path. Especially if these are negative manifestations…patience and faith may be needed. It doesn’t mean all will be depressing…it could be a very welcome change is presented too. A new environment, family, mate, job…it could all have your name on it.
