Full Moon :: October 9, 2022 :: 3:54 pm CDT :: 16 degrees Aries

Running on a track, jumping over hurdles. As you leap over the last one, you effortlessly take flight, soaring through the sky.

This Full Moon can give you lift off. There are positive aspects (like Sun conjunct Venus and the Moon in a wide orb conjunction to Jupiter) that create harmony and grace.

But before you can fly through the air, this Full Moon also presents hurdles that you need to work with on the ground.

At an Aries Full Moon, the Moon in Aries is opposite the Sun in Libra. This creates tension in relationships. Aries represents 'Self' and Libra represents 'Other'. Two people are trying to understand each other. It can be difficult.

It’s often a stretch to understand someone else when we don’t have empathy for them. If we try to see things from their point of view, we can change our perspective, creating empathy and connection.

So if it’s a new perspective that’s needed at this Full Moon, think of your thoughts as the hurdles that you need to jump over. Thoughts that separate you, are impulsive, or are emotionally charged by past experiences and wounds.

Jump the hurdles like a track star.

To do this, stay aligned with kindness (Venus) and become aware of your unhealed wounds (Chiron). Search for clarity (Libra) and then take action (Aries). 

Take Stock of Your Relationships

Right now some of your relationship hurdles might be unexamined perceptions. Libra reaches out in relationship, and Aries maintains individuality. This Full Moon can help how you feel stronger when you make small shifts to soften your perspective and increase your empathy. The hurdles or obstructions between self and others start to disappear. You have more connection (Libra) and more personal energy (Aries).

Just like all nuanced situations, it may not always be appropriate to have more empathy for someone. Maybe there is some injustice that needs to be repaired before it’s time for empathy. This post is just a gentle reminder that if there is space to reach out in understanding and leap over a hurdle, it might lift up everyone involved.

Okay, I’m lacing up my track shoes. This Full Moon in Aries is dynamic and high energy. There is a lot more to say. Let’s look at the aspects …

Sun conjunct Venus in Libra.

Lift off.

This aspect represents the feeling of ease that comes when you reframe a situation with empathy and understanding. 

There is so much room in this moment for harmony, peace, love and connection.

Full Moon conjunct Chiron in Aries.

The hurdle.

Here we have one of the hurdles of this Full Moon. Chiron is the ‘wounded-healer’ and it’s buddied up with the emotional and vulnerable Moon. If you are having emotional reactions that are out of proportion to the current situation, you may be dealing with some old hurts. I believe that Chiron inspires us to get help with these old wounds so that we can heal. Find your track coach. Ramp up your training schedule. Get yourself ready to take on the hurdles with more strength and better form.

The transformation that occurs when you switch from running to flying.

That first moment of flight must be a bit scary! What has happened deep within you that you are suddenly flying? At this Full Moon ‘lift off’ is achieved by new ways of thinking. Your new perceptions are making you different at a core level. Let go of the old way (it’s hard!) and welcome a new way of moving.

Soaring through the air.

Three planets are forming a supportive foundation of energy. Core identity (Sun), integrity (Saturn) and action (Mars) are all in harmony. This supportive and harmonious grouping is vibrating through the Air element — thoughts, perceptions and connection.

Here we find the essence of this Full Moon. Change your thoughts, find new ways of connecting with others and feel truly aligned and ready for action.
