This full moon is jettisoning us quickly into our power and purpose. Pluto squares it, bringing up issues, dynamics, and relationships that are in need of a makeover or complete rehaul. With this energy you celebrate your capacity for renewal and transformation. You know that feeling when you’ve ignored your gut instinct and it comes back to bite you? I suspect we all may be feeling that this full moon. It’s human nature to do so (so no need to beat yourself up about it), and the planets are here to make sure we don’t veer too far off the path of our truth and intuition.
Aries energy reinforces our autonomy and assertiveness. It’s highly likely that you’ll need to establish some healthy independence in one or more areas of your life. Any place that you are overly relying on others for successful outcomes is a good place to start. You may be spending an undue amount of mental energy thinking about others and how what they have or haven’t done impacts you. This is a good indicator that it’s time to remind yourself of how powerful you are and that you are the captain of your own ship. Regardless of what others say or do, if your current location isn’t satisfying or enjoyable for you, you are empowered to steer that ship in a more fruitful direction.
Fortifying your independence and separate identity is important work with a full moon like this. Have you ever noticed that in healthy relationships, each partner usually has something that is “their” thing? It might be a hobby or a job or even a role in the relationship. These activities are necessary to continually feed your sense of autonomy so that you are better able to come together with others in a healthy way instead of basing too much of your identity on your relationship(s).
Finally, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the potential for anger and crankiness with the pressure that’s on this full moon. When we feel anger, it’s often an invitation to see what boundary has been violated. Sometimes others do the violating, and sometimes we do it to ourselves. For example, we say “yes” to something we have no business saying “yes” to. Anger can also be a step on the way to recognizing grief and pain about a person or situation. It all comes boiling to the surface now. Be aware for yourself and others that your normal filters when responding to something potentially upsetting aren’t easy to access right now. Aries removes the polite niceness and goes in for the fight. If you find you or others are reacting in a way that seems retaliatory or just overblown in ratio to the circumstance, do what you can to slow the interaction down.
Questions to Ponder: In what ways can I establish some more healthy independence in my world? How might I channel my anger towards constructive action and deepen my resolve towards what I care about? What is being revealed to me about where my true loyalties lie?
