Full Moon in Aries

   Tonight's Full Moon at 2 degrees of Aries is also known as the Harvest Moon. It is the first Full Moon after the Autumnal Equinox and it shows us how we've done preparing for this season of plenty. While the Moon is in Aries, it is opposed to Libra, reminding us that we are not alone. Out individual efforts matter when taken into account with how they affect the others in our lives.

   Do we speak out for ourselves because we need to, or because someone else needs us to be brave and stand up for ourselves, or for them? Chiron, a Centaur, represents a holistic approach to understanding how we  hurt and how we heal, hence the name sometimes given him, the Wounded Healer. This maverick teacher has a particularly poignant effect now, being aligned with the Aries Moon in this Full Moon chart. Past relationships and imbalances of power, or lack of harmony  may be highlighted now so that we can see where the healing needs to take place. Sometimes, we have to be open-minded to see another point of view in order for wholeness to be restored.

   The biggest challenge in this Full Moon chart are the squares between The Sun in Libra and the Moon in Aries and stern Saturn in Capricorn. Necessity may cause authority figures to make us feel limited in some way. Our plans may not be unfolding as quickly as we would have liked, but there are things to take care of first. Be clear about your responsibilities and  make sure you have a viable plan with the important people involved, so that steady steps can be taken to achieve your goals.

   Mars in early Aquarius  forms a favorable and potentially productive aspect to the Moon that can lead to success if you act assertively now. Energy and confidence add to self-assurance when you consider that the Sun is also harmoniously aligned with this mover and shaker.

   Remember not to push anyone into your way of thinking or acting. Remember to play fair. Remember to listen and share your thoughts when it's your turn. And remember... keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground.
