Aries Full Moon Oct 5 2017 - The war and peace self vs others axis



Full moon 12 degrees 42 minutes Aries exact Oct 5 2017 at 11:40 am PDT.

Hot headed full moon in Aries is sensitive and defensive, agitated and aggressive. This could lead to an impulsive reactionary release of feelings and actions that create oppositions, culminations, climaxes, and manifestations of the recent building of energy. People might find it difficult to withhold their true feelings. With that however, comes new awareness, consciousness expansion and change. Balancing what you need for self vs what others need could be a real struggle with this full moon. Your own personal freedom and needs become a powerful influence. But honestly, life isn't just about your feelings and needs. Other people matter too.  How to balance both sides of the polarity becomes the challenge. As well, balancing the Yin and Yang, within and without, while balancing freedom and dependency.

The planet of sex, war and action is biggest influence

 Virgo Mars rules this full moon. The mood, along with action or reaction will be instinctive but practical and precise. Mars/Venus trine to Cap Pluto adds power and determination to achieve your desires and objectives. Logic is opposed by feelings tho. Both sides need recognition and balance in your conscious decision making. Something is changing and releasing in your life. That could be a harvest of some sorts that changes your daily routine circumstances. This can be a good thing, if there's something to harvest on any level. Either way - action of some kind is needed in your life right now. This can even be a harvesting of something of value in relationship that takes it to the next level, or, even an agreement of release. However, the energy is ripe for conflict, so work is required to maintain harmony and balance during these times of change. That objective won't be successful for everyone. Some people are only brave enough to initiate needed change through conflict, rather than open honest dialog of personal needs and desires.

Solar focus is on communicating personal needs thru diplomacy but faces opposition 

 Mercury conjunct sun in Libra is ruled by Virgo Venus conjunct Mars. There's a desire for unity and cooperation, with a focus on diplomacy thru communication. Venus uniting with Mars, softens the aggressive edge a bit. Or, what normally is soft gains an edge. Venus and Mars being the rulers of this opposition could indicate conflict in personal relationship that overflows, and escalated conflict on the world stage unless both parties are able to peacefully communicate needs, desires and perspectives.

Sexual tension on the rise'

Building sexual energy between the sexes can also create unconscious conflict. It can be cooperation or argument, both on social and personal fronts. If you're not able to express physical feelings for someone you're attracted to, or even resentful feelings to someone that's been building up, this full moon will create a lot of tension to let that go. Pluto's influence creates desire for something more intense and passionate, getting past superficiality.. General preferences now are more sensual, deeper and passionate, with darker edge, and themes of power and control. That's a general turn on under this influence. But all the negative traits of Scorpio/Pluto can come out too, such as suspicion, manipulation, overpowering, being controlling and difficult, etc. If all is well in your romantic relationship sex could get really intense and powerful in this phase.

Body Work

 I might add, that if you want the most intense and powerful full body massage of your life - get it done under Venus conjunct Mars in Virgo trine Cap Pluto!

Pluto shows destructive undercurrents intensity or forced changes in relationships

Pluto sits at the apex of a T square aspect to this full moon opposition that plays out thru next couple weeks, and beyond - power, intensity and change is in the mix for sure. Capricorn is the world. Pluto there for many years has created powerful and intense world circumstances, with all the old dirty buried shit slowly coming to the surface. The world isn't becoming anything new; it's exposing what's always been there, under the surface - the dark shadow traits of the world, gaining evermore awareness since 2008. This also shows a slow building of Govt control (seen by police state, new laws and new federal agencies over the years) as well as the people of the world feeling undercurrents of intensity and revolution. When Pluto gets activated thru transits, intensity and change happens during this 17 year phase of  Pluto in Capricorn. The world still has many powerful events to unfold the next 7 years.

Neptune confusion and distractions 

Sun/Mercury inconjunct Neptune is also big factor to this full moon energy. There has been Neptune opposition for a while - distractions, escapism, lies and illusions; unrealistic expectations, fantasies, etc, etc. This full moon brings more awareness to your illusions which you'll have to make adjustments to, after some things you thought were of value disappear into thin air. Some folks will go back and forth between seeing something for what it is and getting distracted by bullshit and deception. There's desire for depth and truth but annoying bullshit factor is still floating around out there that people will have to adjust to.

Venus leads Mars into conflict with Saturn

Venus now takes the lead in front of Mars, and both Venus Mars face difficult building square with Saturn in the coming week. Saturn (authority figures) is not supportive of this Venus Mars activity. Saturn screams (if it could) DISCERNMENT! There's a block to what is desired. There is a block to the relationship circumstances playing out in the coming week. Diplomacy might not be possible with Saturn at right angle to Venus/Mars. Increase war and conflict seems likely.

Social anger overflows

Social energy is in conflict with govt and authority. Social conflict is most likely to overflow beginning on this full moon cycle. The shooting in Vegas is associated with this energy but in bigger view it's the Leo eclipse of August. Other dates that will be energized by eclipse energy are: Oct 15, 29, Nov 11, 25, Dec 8, 23 and Jan 4. An event won't happen on each of those days, but any event that does happen on or around those days are related to the Aug eclipse which has a 6th month window. This is not to say world events won't happen on other days, it's just they will have other causes besides the eclipse. I think the last half or week of Oct could see another round of huge NK headlines.

Responsibility, hard work and follow through is needed for successful harvest of what's valuable

Saturn square the rulers of this opposition does show that in order to harvest, it's gonna take patience, responsibility and hard work. With Aries moon, there's need to do it your own way tho which gives rebellious tone to authority, or escaping responsibility to do whatever you want could bring conflict.  This conflict includes difficult law enforcement energy as well. Good judgement overriding primal instinctive nature is needed when dealing with anything serious in this phase, otherwise can have long term consequences that were unforeseen.

Jupiter opp Uranus Libra/Aries

Jupiter Uranus opposition is also important influence that remains energized and gets finalized under this full moon phase before Jupiter enters Scorpio on Oct 10 for a year. We've been dealing with extreme oppositions on the war and diplomacy front. You can even see this in the world thru the diplomats being expelled from some countries. So of course as the moon and sun move through this alignment the next couple days and weeks, it's going to energize more struggles and the need to balance these extremes. This is in personal relationships too. This time something might break open leading to real change and that balancing of opposites.

Legal issues

As Jupiter enters Scorpio for a year, people that have Saturn in the first few degrees of fixed signs could face legal issues starting late Oct and later degrees face it in 2018.

Also on the world stage, laws come into question. This is Jupiter Saturn energy for sure. New laws, crackdowns and power struggles could be forced on the people (Square from Saturn) adding conflict. The sun begins to square Pluto amping up intensity and forced change. This is not the time to try and get authority figures in your life to cooperate. But also it's not the time to tally retreat and be passive either. It's a fine line coming up. There could be uprising in some way.

Tues (10/3) Moon in Pisces

As i write this (Tues afternoon) the moon is in Pisces beginning to oppose Venus and Mars. This brings the 1st wave of full moon type energy as the moon is bringing awareness to the Venus/Mars relationship situation. Opposition begins. Feelings/circumstances are opposing desires and pleasure needs the rest of today unless you can find the balance point.

Moon in Aries Wednesday afternoon

Moon then enters Aries Weds at 1:39 pm PDT. Aries full moon vibes are on after that point but the opposition from Pisces Tues starts the awareness, culmination and harvest process of something of value. But getting everything you want Tuesday  might not be easy.  Moon reaches full bylLate Thurs morning.

Not being a hothead and so open with your feelings of opposition and criticism can go long way in keeping things diplomatic. Be true to yourself, but keep other's feelings in consideration too. That's my Libra advice. I have a lot of Aries too tho, so understand that front as well :)

Good luck with it. Enjoy.
Rik.
