What: Full Moon in Aries
When: Oct. 17, 2024
Who’s Impacted: EVERYONE, but esp, Cardinal Sign placements at 24 degrees
Takeaway: a fiery Full Moon that could provoke your pain points—but it’s also serving as a loud reminder that what hurts here, is also the medicine.
Since we’re dealing with a full moon in direct Aries, I won’t be around the bush: this full moon is going to hurt. Mostly because of the tetchy interactions with Chiron in Aries and Mars in Cancer, both of which may leave you feeling more perturbed than harmony-loving Libra Season would like, and the ruthless head-butt to Pluto in Capricorn, which dredges up something from the underworld of yourself.
That’s not to fear-monger; it’s to be real. Because as much as I want this October 2024 full moon in Aries to be amazing, it really looks aggravating. And exhausting. From here, it looks like a tense, shit-show sandwich complete with a provocation from someone that is sure to raise your cortisol levels, prompt you to lash out, and later (if not immediately) regret it. All of which is exhausting. But all of that can also be avoided if you release the heat, and release the pain.
Thursday’s full moon in Aries is a continuation of the new beginnings / new chapters of the Aries solar eclipse on April 8. It’s marking a conclusion, culmination, and/or peak moment in this Aries storyline; and it has a lot to do with independence, leadership, self-belief, and courage. How have you been courageous (either for yourself, your goals, or for others)? Have you been forced to lead in some way? How has your confidence or self-belief been challenged?
