Full Super Moon in Aries

17th October

12:26pm GMT/UT

Time for some fearlessness.

Aries energy encourages us to think for ourselves, seeing beyond the distractions around us to the real truth. Time to accept that there are two realities at play in any moment, the physical reality – which the eyes see – and the etheric reality – which the soul understands.

This Aries Full Super Moon is the closest the moon is to Earth this year. Her influence as the moon comes to full peak is even stronger than usual. Prepare for some intense feelings!

This moon shines a light on the deepest connection between soul and body – and the courage it takes to recognise this connection is real within the human experience, cannot be ignored and must be honoured.

As the first sign of the Zodiac, Aries is all about new beginnings, cycles and very much the energy of us arriving here in human form at birth. As souls we are reminded now we have chosen to be here now, at this time and in this physical form. We have come here to learn and evolve within our experiences.

Aries energy motivates and gives us the desire to get things done, to effect change. It is also about accepting and celebrating what you actually like about the body you are living in. However we live in a material world where shallow judgements make this difficult and we can end up in a place of punishing or judging the body. This is ego (fear), not soul. This Aries Full Moon calls for a release of self judgement. We are called towards a path of greater understanding that we are both human and spirit combined. To enjoy the ride of being in physical form, we could perhaps embrace the concept that this is not our first birth and it probably won’t be our last?

At a collective level this full moon calls us to find ways to release negativity, to change what we can no longer abide to remain the same.

Make time for some self care, de-stressing and mind your words and reactions so that you don’t become part of the problem! We need to think before we speak, and even more so before we act. Emotions, especially deep seated ones could be all over the place. You could find yourself in the midst of outbursts and conflicts you never saw coming.

Do your best to stay grounded and mindful.

The big picture will be important and at the forefront this full moon. What needs to change will feel like it needs to happen yesterday, but pace yourself. You may feel that sense of urgency and determination manifesting as the urge to do whatever it takes to see that your long-held desires are fulfilled.

Weigh your decisions carefully!

This Full Moon is an ideal opportunity to manifest some deep healing. Through our deepest wounds we learn about our own healing abilities as well as our true nature.

The physical and the energetic bodies ask us to see their link to one another. For example, if you find you continually get throat irritation, where are you not speaking the truth with loving assertiveness?

Ask this Moon energy to help dissolve and release what holds you back. Sit in quietude, listen to your emotions and pay attention to your body… allow it to tell you it’s secrets.

Questions to ask ourselves and meditate upon:

Are there any toxic patterns or behaviours in my life?

Where am I holding myself back?

How can I be more emotionally fearless?

Where do I need to reclaim my power in my personal relationships?

Whose opinions do I really need to take into account before I make important changes?

Where do I need to take action?

Where do I need to be more patient?

What do I admire about myself?

This is also a time to harness intentionally taking back of any power you may have unintentionally given away to a person or situation outside your control. Here’s a simple and powerful way to call your power back to you.

Remember, it is safe to be powerful in many ways. One of the ways that makes use of power in a nurturing way is doing more of what lights us up. What are you passionate about?

Appearance may suddenly be bothering you out of the blue – try to love yourself as you are and resist the urge to be self critical as this will pass. It is temporary. Do speak to yourself kindly and treat yourself to do something that makes you feel nourished at soul level.

Impulsiveness may be a problem if you allow it to be… no big decisions without careful and grounded meditation on those issues.

Planning new projects is divinely guided on this full moon. This Aries motivational energy is perfect to light a fire under inspirational ideas and turn them into reality. Your vision can be made real, harness this day!

Any passionate experiences will be amplified with amazing energy!

Aries is all about positive self-affirming assertiveness – but you’ll do well to avoid unnecessary drama at the moment, diffuse and dampen any fiery moments that arise before you burn any bridges without meaning to. Take a breath and ask your guides and spirit team to give you the right words to assert yourself kindly.
