October 13-19, 2024
This week, we are grappling with substantially high levels of sensitivity and vulnerability. Some of us are unafraid of opening up to others, having no qualms about what they think or how we might be exposed or stereotyped. But most of us have gradually built ramparts around our inner child for fear of being misunderstood, misrepresented, or shamed into feeling weak, like a failure, or worse. We are in need of facing these struggles this week, so hopefully we can find time alone to sit in the deep, dark silence of our inner selves, or better yet to sit with someone who unconditionally loves us and can compassionately listen to us without judgment or shame. As the Full Moon gleams down upon us later in the week, we can feel reborn into new opportunities for creative excitement and abundance.

The activations today are multi-fold and very potent. The Aquarius Moon steers the day with its intentions to elevate our perspective and improve upon our current conditions and situations, but accomplishing that will require courage and quite an emotional effort. We could find ourselves feeling as though the effort necessary to overcome certain painful wounds is too much to handle. Our silent inner child can feel too insecure to make the journey through the exhausting and agonizing healing process towards our aspirations and goals of renewal and liberation. We may choose instead to distance ourselves from those wounds and seek alternative means of enlightenment and elevation of our consciousness.
It may seem as though that is a worthy alternative, but we must be mindful that those wounds can only heal if we face them, talk about them, understand them on a much deeper level than before, and find ways to integrate new patterns into our life. We are very likely going to experience a lot of emotional upheaval today, much of it relevant to our relationships and families. Conversations can swing into dark and sullen alleys of sadness, but if we hold fast to our hopes and stay grounded on the solid foundations we have built, we can allay the onslaught of emotional disturbances and eruptions more than not.
It is difficult to delineate all these aspects without addressing the reality that whatever emotional and relational upheaval that has been rising to the surface over the course of the past few weeks is not going to be easy to put to rest without going through the labyrinth itself. If we skirt anything, it can resurface much darker and harder to handle next time. This is not to say everyone is going to have a painful and emotionally disturbing day, but we are all likely to be quite vulnerable, sensitive, and prone to reactionary behavior. Fortunately, the day ends with a lovely uplifting trine between Sun and Jupiter, sending us into our dreams with some relief and hope for tomorrow.

Sun in Libra square Mars in Cancer
Moon conjunct Saturn in Pisces
Venus in Scorpio opposite Uranus in Taurus
Residual influences from yesterday are still working themselves out, which is not uncommon. Sensitivities continue to be heightened, with some likely additional frustrations from feeling at odds with someone somehow. Of course we cannot all agree on everything, but if we rise above the tree line of our egos, there is something to learn and gain from these aggravating moments. We grow from our differences, so if we try to breathe our way through the day and remain open to the opinions and suggestions of others—which involves active listening and participation in conversations—then we are bound to make much more of this day than if we refuse to employ such virtues.
Realities may seem to be crashing down upon us, ruining our otherwise sunny sunshine daydreams. Are we reluctant to accept certain facets of the reality we should be integrating for fear of losing out on fun or adventures? Have we neglected something important that is creating increased pressure upon our conscience? Did we do something wrong that needs to be confessed and cleared up? Did someone cross a line we clearly drew in the sand? Whatever the case, we should not fret too much. Forgiveness can heal such wounds and crossed boundaries most of the time.
What may be most noticeable and pressing today is the relative sustainability of our relationships, both financially and emotionally. In particular, our capacity to plumb the caverns of our psyches and divulge what we encounter with someone we love. Are we both capable of doing this? Is one of us afraid to go into those frightening and vulnerable places? Perhaps there is a chance we can bring such a process into the forefront of our relationship in an effort to deepen our emotional connection with one another. It is also possible that our financial resources play a very important role in our day. Do we have enough? How can we make more? Is it invested safely? Matters of money are likely bound to surface somehow.

Moon in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn
Venus in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces
The deep, unfathomable, and unpredictable seas are churning within us today, creating a very open ebb and flow of psychic tendrils between us. Sensitivities and vulnerabilities continue to invite us to address issues we may be afraid to confront. Gauging emotional maturity should not be too difficult today, especially if we find ourselves in the midst of situations that are exposing such sensitivities. What are we discovering about ourselves or those we love? Whatever it is, we are bound to be able to relate to it, so taking an empathetic and compassionate approach to helping them through it is the high road of choice. We certainly hope someone would take the same approach if it were us suffering such vulnerability.
The dreamy side of life often gets a bad rap from the buzz killers, but there is something much more sacred about those states of consciousness that must be respected. We tune in to our divinity through psychic avenues and heightened, meditative spaces. This connection, if we do find it and tap into it, can teach us a kind of wisdom we would not gather from everyday heinous tasks or climbing the promotional ladders of a professional field. These states of mind fuse our personal unconsciousness with the collective unconsciousness and help facilitate powerful psychic growth and maturity. We come to know life through divine love, compassion, and laughter. These tendencies help round out the latter part of our day.

Moon conjunct its North Node in Aries
New beginnings are taking shape, at least in the form of ideas, inspirations, and aspirations. The swath of psychic landscape traversed yesterday was like gestating in a divine, psychedelic womb, teaching us innumerable things we cannot recall or explain but somehow understand deeply. As we emerge into a rambunctious Aries Moon, we are immediately tuning in to what drives our unique individual selves towards our purpose. How are we manifesting our destiny and abiding by our passions and desires? Have we been reckless in our pursuit? Maybe we have felt less driven than we wish we were, so is something standing in the way of us completely and whole-heartedly embracing the entirety of our exciting goals and dreams? Let’s remove any obstacles and forge ahead as thoughtfully as possible!

Moon in Aries square Mars in Cancer
*Full Moon at 24° Aries at 7:27am EDT*
Venus in Scorpio sextile Pluto in Capricorn
Moon in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn
*Venus ingresses Sagittarius*
This morning’s Full Moon in Aries reflects our efforts to bring forth our own personal identity in the midst of all our relationships. How do we stand out? Do we enjoy standing out? Do we wish we did not stand out in certain ways or for certain reasons? These questions can help us identify more precisely how we are faring in adhering to and abiding by our individuation process. Moon’s mutual reception with Mars amplifies the importance of finding true resonance with who we are and what we do, think, and feel. This Full Moon powerfully taps into the sensitivities of our inner child and helps reveal to us so much more than we have previously recognized about ourselves.
Our identity is not in question, it is in process. It is in a process of perpetual unfoldment, like the petals of an undying flower always blossoming. In this way, we can feel deeply into the authenticity of the incarnation of our soul in this life. Of course we fade into and out of phases of identity crises, but there is an underlying individuality that is witnessing, experiencing, and adapting to all of those phases. Sometimes gracefully, sometimes awkwardly, but always exactly as we should. We must learn to not just accept who we are, but embrace who we are, including who we have been—flaws, wrongs, failures and all—because the sooner we become unafraid of that the sooner we emerge from the chrysalis as an unchained, liberated being full of joy, zest, and lust for life.
As we fine tune our heart strings to strum the melody of our souls, our appreciation for beauty and love seems to grow stronger. The magic that swirls through every atom in the universe seems especially noticeable in all that lives and breathes around us today. While reality always seems to crash down, at least somewhat, upon the soft parades we march through, any significant removal of rotted doors and rusted chains that keep us from fully experiencing our own personal bliss should be opened, broken, and tossed into the dogmatic abyss of traps and lies.

Moon in Taurus opposite Mercury in Scorpio
Today’s early morning Moon-Mercury opposition feeds the day with an opportunity to discuss such practical matters as our financial situation, real estate concerns, and whether we are able to sustain those situations in the long term. We may also end up in conversations about sexuality, intimacy, and how we can grow closer to those we love. We often don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, and this can feel like a day where we notice whether or not we can sustain our lifestyle the way we have been living it. Our resources may be limited, but our wherewithal to earn our keep more effectively can be revealed to us if we apply our creativity and passion to succeed to all we do. Practical improvements may just show up in conversations if we have an ear to listen carefully.

Moon in Taurus sextile Mars in Cancer
Moon conjunct Uranus in Taurus
Moon in Taurus sextile Neptune in Pisces
Moon in Taurus trine Pluto in Capricorn
Moon in Gemini opposite Venus in Sagittarius
Our appreciation for beauty and harmonious ambiance inspires the creativity that helps fuel our sustainability and abundance. We often think of abundance as financial resources, which is not inaccurate, but it also represents all that we love and enjoy in life. These factors are important to understand when it comes to our desire to feel pleasure and fulfillment. How can we elevate our capacity to produce more abundance in our life? Today provides a spark of inspiration to immerse ourselves in our creativity to discover new means of providing more abundance.
How can we take what we are already good at and bring it to a new level of potentiality? Something may drift in from out of nowhere that enlightens us to that potential. If we have felt stagnant or frustrated that we are not tapping into the entirety of our creative potential, perhaps this is a good day to seek solitude in order to gain greater insight into how we can do exactly that. New beginnings are fraught with challenges that can stall our growth, but learning to not get caught in those traps and snares that hold us back are sacred keys that afford us the courage to forge ahead and acquire a level of abundance that brings delight and bliss back into our lives in droves.
We are endowed this week with a lot of high-frequency influences that might frighten us or make us feel especially edgy and sensitive, but if we open ourselves up to trusting these influences we can find more ways of expressing ourselves authentically and unabashedly. So much of our insecurities are rooted in unfounded shame, societal conditioning, and lies we believed and invested in long ago. As we awaken and come to terms with these truths, we begin to better understand why we have felt held back for so long. The Full Moon in Aries can reignite a magnificent sense of renewal and opportunity to shine our own unique light much brighter into the life we live and the world we live in. May we all find it in us to embrace ourselves in more nurturing and uplifting ways.
