On Oct. 1st, at 5:05pm EDT,<\/strong> the Sun opposes the Moon in 9 degrees of Aries<\/strong><\/em> — the Moon\u2019s entry into Aries on Sept. 30th in the late evening<\/strong>, starts the build up towards this Full Moon. The Moon in pioneering, fast-paced Aries<\/strong> makes an opposition to the Sun in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra<\/strong>.<\/p>\nGenerally, a Full Moon brings our attention to our “emotional body\u201d, increasing our awareness of what has been suppressed or ignored.\u00a0This is especially true for this particular Full Moon — for much of this month, we are invited to experiment with new perspectives on self-care, family, feeling at home (or feeling safe), and expanding the exploration of our emotional bodies.\u00a0If you are a site Member, you may also want to watch my video on the subject here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The Aries\/Libra polarity<\/strong>\u00a0also directs our awareness to the roles we identify with in our various one-on-one relationships \u2014 and this Full Moon is thus a call to take action on those roles.<\/p>\n In particular, it brings the focus to healing issues around “independence”, so\u00a0ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0Where do I notice a wounding around assertiveness? How can I bring compassion to that wound? Do I need to be more accommodating? Less? Where have I been too independent? Too dependent? What roles or contracts need to be healed? Or at least accepted for what they are?<\/p>\n This also involves the balance of feminine and masculine energies within ourselves, our relationships, and our world.\u00a0Ask:<\/strong>\u00a0Where have these energies gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much masculine? Too much feminine?<\/p>\n On the day of the Full Moon<\/strong>,\u00a0the Moon conjuncts Chiron in Aries<\/strong><\/em>; this has lots of potential for healing around the “mother archetype” and our past in general. We may feel more sensitive and insecure about what we identify with — and around our ability to be assertive.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong> What are my sensitivities when it comes to self-identity? What limits me?What am I feeling most insecure about? What if this feeling was an invitation for self-compassion, self-acceptance, and self-nurturing? How might engaging with myself in that fashion bring me closer to myself? How might being accepting of myself despite (or even including) my self-doubt make me a more compassionate collaborator and ally?<\/p>\n The Sun in\u00a0Libra<\/strong>\u00a0quincunxes Uranus in Taurus<\/strong><\/em>. This aspect operates more on an internal level — an unexpected turn of events could leave us uneasy or unsettled. This could also indicate…<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER? <\/strong>Scroll down & keep reading (make sure you are logged into your Member’s account<\/a>)!<\/p>\n GET IT ALL!<\/strong> Get the whole Forecast with all the Full Moon questions — as well as other awesome and exclusive content — become a site member<\/a> (still, for the price of a cappuccino!) \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n *** The Sun in\u00a0Libra<\/strong>\u00a0quincunxes Uranus in Taurus<\/strong><\/em>. This aspect operates more on an internal level — an unexpected turn of events could leave us uneasy or unsettled. This could also indicate a certain degree of restlessness and energetic discomfort in our interactions with others.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong> How flexible could I be for the next two weeks if I really worked at it? What needs to be shifted internally, so I can stay open and aligned with my unique talents, values, and preferences?<\/p>\n Am I feeling particularly uncomfortable within my one-on-one relationships at this time? Do I have certain preferences that others are unable to align with? Do I have judgments about this?<\/p>\n We also have a wide\u00a0T-Square\u00a0in this Full Moon chart,\u00a0involving the Full Moon and Jupiter in\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong><\/em>;\u00a0Jupiter is the Focus Point of this T-square\u00a0and is inviting us to\u00a0make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play.\u00a0So what are these energies?<\/p>\n On the one hand, we are aware of the importance of collaboration and “playing nice”; on the other, we see that following our inner compass and taking care of our own needs is essential as well.<\/p>\n At the same time, we are also feeling a very strong pull to move forward and expand our understanding around what we want to build long-term.<\/p>\n All this\u00a0places a lot of stress on Jupiter\u00a0in\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong>,\u00a0and\u00a0Jupiter\u00a0is still exalted\u00a0until Oct. 3rd,<\/strong>\u00a0due to its station phase.\u00a0We may feel an enthusiasm for social achievements and career explorations that we can’t fully pursue because of personal or relationship issues.<\/p>\n Since Jupiter represents the process of expansion, understanding of the bigger picture, adventure, and exploring new perspectives, we may feel impatient (or overly optimistic) about our career goals — in fact, we could be expanding too fast, if the process is not properly monitored. We are invited to create a healthy shift in our attitude toward career or long-term social issues.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0What might I finally be able to explore? If I listened carefully, what might I hear calling out to me?\u00a0What do I believe (or simply know) about my long-term goals? About my standing in society? Am I allowing myself to explore new perspectives or merely holding on to old belief systems?<\/p>\n Imagine you have a special lens which showed you the “bigger picture”… ask yourself:\u00a0What would my career path look like through this lens? What perspective or philosophy would serve me most on this path?<\/p>\n Since the\u00a0empty leg of this T-square\u00a0lands in\u00a0Cancer<\/strong>,<\/em>\u00a0we are invited to bring a positive attitude to ourselves at home and with loved ones. We are also invited to\u00a0balance our optimism around an expansion in career or in our society with our focus on self-care — getting plenty of rest, healthy nourishment, affection, etc.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0What would a new perspective around self-care look like at home? With family? Elsewhere?<\/p>\n How might self-nurturing support my self-connection? My connection to others? The world at large? How might it support my career ambitions? What if self-care was the first step toward\u00a0grand achievements or career opportunities?<\/p>\n What if I could nurture myself to the point that I am at once connected to others and yet completely independent? What might that look like?<\/p>\n Mars\u00a0(the ruler of Aries<\/strong>)\u00a0is currently in\u00a0its own sign and retrograde, squaring the Jupiter\/Pluto\/Saturn alignment in Capricorn<\/strong><\/em>; all three of those planets in Capricorn<\/strong> are still exalted due to their Station phases, but this is particularly true of Pluto & Saturn, who both change directions and end their respective Retrograde phases within 3 days of the Full Moon being exact.<\/p>\n This is a “stretch” aspect characterized by inner conflict and a maturity process that requires adjustments and flexibility on our part.<\/p>\n On the one hand, Mars in Aries<\/strong><\/em> brings a desire to pursue personal goals and move fast; we probably feel impatient about any projects connected to something we feel passionate about (or personally identify with) and want to be physically active (e.g. working out).<\/p>\n On the other hand, Saturn<\/em> brings up a desire to focus on our long-term goals, taking things one step at a time, while Pluto<\/em> is urging us to build something solid, lasting, and empowering to us and future generations.<\/p>\n We are also being asked to take a realistic and mature approach to our long-term aspirations, one that also feels empowering to us, and is aligned with our Soul’s Purpose.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong> Is it time to live life in moderation? How could I best manage my frustrations? My obsessions? When is the best now moment to slow down a little and catch my breath? What commitments and responsibilities are calling me out of my comfort zone? How could I allow for a direct and courageous approach even if life puts up roadblocks or throws me some curve balls?<\/p>\n What if I simply knew that I could handle whatever shows up? What if I just decided to bring maturity and self-responsibility to my passions and goals, no matter what? What if I practiced daily tapping into the power of the love within?<\/p>\n Since everyone is going through this, society is going through a tremendous transformational process at this time, and each one of us needs to take a look at how we personally want to contribute to that transformation in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n Here’s the question:<\/strong> What if there was a way to honor my desire for a passionate, exciting new beginning on a personal level, while also expanding my perspectives around the longer game for society? What might that look like?<\/p>\n What if this could also be combined with honoring my quest for a socially responsible way of life? And what if that way of life could feel exciting and sustainable for all?<\/p>\n Lastly, something else to consider: We may have a tendency to overdo or over-exert — and our expectations of ourselves and others might be way too high. If we’re going to get tripped up here, it would be because\u00a0we don’t know when to stop, or say no.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong> What might open up if I expected 5% less of myself, just for today? What if I applied that to others too? Might my physical and mental energy levels help me be realistic about how much I can expect of myself right now?<\/p>\n Venus\u00a0(the ruler of Libra),\u00a0currently in\u00a0Leo<\/strong>,\u00a0makes a Trine to Mars in Aries<\/strong> and a Sextile to the North Node in Gemini<\/strong>.<\/em> Let’s start with the Trine<\/em>: We tend to feel passionate, highly creative and energized at this time, with lots of vitality and warmth to share.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong> What would it look like to actively bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit?<\/p>\n There is also a certain amount of flow when it comes to creativity, joyful self-expression, and athletic abilities — if you knew you could accomplish something now with ease, what would you pick?<\/p>\n Now, let’s take a look at the Sextile with the North Node<\/em>: This aspect gives us a change for enhanced communication and we therefore also have an opportunity to clear up any misunderstandings.<\/p>\n Ask yourself<\/strong>: What would I communicate if I knew that I could have more heartfelt and versatile connections to others?<\/p>\n Neptune in\u00a0Pisces<\/strong> squares the Moon Nodes in\u00a0Gemini\/Sagittarius<\/strong>,<\/em> asking us to intuitively connect to our feeling-body and therefore to our higher Self. We are being asked to take a 90-degree turn, slow down, and tune in to our intuitive voice and our compassionate heart.<\/p>\n Ask yourself<\/strong>:\u00a0What would “tuning in” look like for me at this time? What would “slowing down” and “being present in the now moment” feel like? How might doing those things serve me?<\/p>\n Might some extra alone-time for spiritual contemplation or creative endeavors also be of service to me?<\/p>\n How might understanding the paradoxes of life give me more inner peace? How might a compassionate heart support me with my connections and interactions with others at this time?<\/p>\n Lastly, I would like to mention that, Mercury in\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0begins its Station phase<\/em> on Oct. 6th<\/strong>, and we will see the start of Mercury’s third Retrograde phase of the year <\/em>on Oct. 13th<\/strong>.\u00a0We will address Mercury’s Station and Retrograde phases<\/em> in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum (live on Oct. 4th)<\/strong>… And if you would like to find out how it might impact you personally<\/strong>, join us!\u00a0\u00a0To register now, click here<\/strong><\/a>.

What if my inner personal sense of it was more valuable than society’s?<\/p>\n Remember:<\/strong> we are in a critical phase of our spiritual growth, during which we are asked to questions and release all that is holding us back: dysfunctional and restrictive relationships, belief systems, social conditionings, addictions, negative habits and thought patterns, possessions that take up too much of our time and effort, etc.\u00a0As best as you can, see this an an opportunity — allow, rather than resist \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Ask yourself<\/strong>:\u00a0How do the ways we relate to ourselves and others reveal how we relate to social structures that we operate within?<\/p>\n What if I focused 5% more on my connection to my emotional body and what feels right to me? What if I did the same for my inner roots?<\/p>\n Also keep in mind for the next two weeks<\/strong>: When we get plenty of rest, we can accomplish more, in less time!<\/p>\n If nothing else, do your best to remember that we all signed up for this journey to become a spiritual, fully human adult that exists in an ever-expanding, multidimensional realm of physicality\u2026\u00a0Not always an easy feat\u2026 so, if nothing else works, turn it over to your Higher Power, your Soul Power.<\/p>\n
