Full Moon in Aries

October 9, 2022 | 1:54 pm (PST) | Keyword: Luxury

The moon’s speedy motion through the sign of Aries is a call to action rooted in the emotional need for independence and self-interest. Despite the inclination as an individualist, you have deep concern with the impression you make on others. Perhaps you’ll use special skills in promotional and public relations work in support of that or a gift in the performing arts that enables you to display an unusual artistic talent requiring showmanship. For some, strong leadership skills endow the ability to hold the center of attention. As the explorer or activist, you’re willing to take risks and may be part of a free-spirited group. However, abundant self-confidence can give way to a self-centered, authoritative attitude. In this case, magnanimous gestures are motivated by egotism and the quest for greater personal prestige. Events are likely to center around those with strong Aries in the natal chart–sun, moon, or rising sign.

This is a good time to become more actively involved with your neighbors and community, and community will fall under careful consideration if you’re purchasing a home. The need to communicate with others also manifests through situations that give you the opportunity to express your ideas to as many people as possible through teaching, writing, or public speaking. With the star Menkar collaborating with the moon, you may be emotionally committed or responsive to the needs of the collective. Your presentation can make a lasting impression and have far reaching effects, and as a result of increased visibility, you may become more of a public personality, especially in your local environment or within your field of expertise. In fact, with the Aries Point sitting in the area of this moon chart signified by communication, it’s highly likely that persons unknown to you will become involved in your affairs in some way through paperwork, travel, study, or communication.

However, the caution is that communication can be more subjective than factually accurate. This is because emotions are running high in the public at this time. Gut level instincts tend to compete with rational thought driving you to say some things that are probably better left unsaid. Even casual conversations will take on greater emotional depth when past experiences and conditioned habits kick in causing automatic responses that may not be appropriate to the demands of the moment. Your candid comments may reveal more than is in your best interest or the interest of others. Exchanges can also be wrought with mixed messages or reflect an inner conflict where you’re of two minds on issues.

Although circumstances can create hostility through conflict with others, there’s also hope for reconciliation. Careful consideration is called for in volatile situations that require you approach with tactful deference the person or people concerned. Perhaps you’re not in a position of strength that would allow you to issue commands or act in arrogance. By the same token, a passive approach is also ill advised. Situations call for both humility and an active role in resolving matters for the assurance of a positive resolution.

The suggestion is not to repress your true feelings, but rather to work constructively with your emotions to maintain objectivity. Doing so will lead to very meaningful dialogue. The aspects are in good position for a writer, psychologist, artist or counselor or any task that calls for drawing upon and uniting the conscious with the unconscious mind and learning to integrate feelings with thoughts.

Those emotions will include an ardent passion and a strong sex drive that expresses through excitement and adventure found in competitive sports or romantic episodes. The need for challenge can find you or others in thrill-seeking situations in order to feel alive–sports, speed, sex, adventure. Venus is in Libra sitting in critical degree lending a sense of urgency to matters involving relationships, young women, socializing, money, and pleasure.

The keyword for this cycle is luxury and can highlight those who spend most of their time pursuing pleasure over practicality. While fortunes are favored, there may be little inclination or no personal effort to increase them. Instead, the mind is romantic and art-loving.
