The week opens up with an Aquarius Moon, highlighting social connection, community, and the wisdom that comes from seeing the larger picture. It’s an intellectual placement for the moon, one that favors deep thought and big ideas. But as the Moon travels on this week, we’re going to get closer to Sunday’s caustic Aries Full Moon.
What makes this upcoming full moon interesting — or gives us pause — is that it will fall right on Uranus in Aries. Over the last few years, while Uranus has been in Aries, we’ve experienced its chaotic energy designed to shake up our consciousness. Yes, life has been up and down, and we’ve been pushed to make radical changes in our lives, but what the outer planets bring about is necessary evolution. The full moon on October 16 will be an awakening, a jolt, a flash of insight. Full moons are also choice points and this one may show us everything in searing clarity.
My only concern is that the Moon + Uranus has a habit of forcing breaks and separations, especially an emotional break. As we get closer to Saturday, we may feel restless need to separate. Suddenly our lives feel constrictive. We need something new. There is an immediacy, an urgency. Although the full moon may feel confrontational, we need to ease into its new realities, embracing the wave of change once again.
Choose breakthrough.
