Sunday, OCTOBER 13

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Aries, reaching Full at 5:08 PM EDT. The Full Moon reminds us to consider how we are honoring ourselves in the context of our close relationships. New revelations can occur now, particularly in the areas of our leadership skills, feelings of independence, our ability to initiate and begin new things, and our close partnerships. With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic illumination occurs in our lives. Since these new feelings and revelations are emotional ones, we might want to exercise some care expressing them.

With the Full Moon forming a square to Pluto, there can be intense realizations now. The Sun forms a sextile to Jupiter and is approaching a square to Pluto today. On the one hand, the Sun-Jupiter sextile stimulates hopefulness and generosity. It can be a time for engaging with others in delightful ways and enjoying opportunities for doing so. Confidence comes from a stronger sense of who we are and the principles we represent. However, we might act and express ourselves somewhat compulsively, or we could be too insistent on having our way or pushing our ideas upon others. Fears and buried matter can rise to the surface, making it difficult to put our faith and trust in others (or the universe) as the day advances. Circumstances now can push us to discover our inner power, which comes from a strong sense of self rather than superficial energy derived from manipulating people into doing what we want them to do.

We’re also heading towards a Mercury-Saturn sextile, and if we’re feeling tense, reasoning things out logically and step by step can be beneficial and even soothing.

The void Moon occurs from 5:58 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Pluto), until the Moon enters Taurus the next day, Monday, October 14th, at 12:24 PM EDT.
