Full Moon in Aries
Thursday, October 17th at 5:26 AM (mtn)
Happy FULL MOON, babes!
Full moons are a time of closure, a time of endings. Death has always been one of my favorite tarot cards, because it means a new birth is coming - it means space is being made, as we say good bye to something and hello to another. It is creating room for either something we are consciously waiting for, or opening us up to the possibilities of the unknown. As this is a Super Full Moon, know that the moon is going to appear larger and brighter, thus allowing us to feel the tides and waves even more.
Aries, a fiery, impulsive sign, is all about passion, confidence, and adventure. Embrace all your big emotions that come up during this full moon, and know that you may want to act without much thinking. Give yourself grace as you navigate this time - allow the feelings to wash through you, and know that you might not be able to decipher them until they have passed.
You may feel an immediate need - for anything and everything. Challenge yourself to sit with your feelings during this Full Moon - instead of jumping to conclusions, making decisions, or finalizing thoughts on a whim - pause. This can be especially hard with the fiery energy in the air - you can do it. Aries loves a good competition - prove that you are strong enough to slow down, to not act rashly. Go for a walk, set your phone down, stop responding immediately. We all deserve space during this time - and even a five minute reset gifts us clarity.
What are you ready to let go of, in order to make space? What are some of the endless opportunities that may present themselves, when we release what no longer serves? Once we start to realize that the possibilities are truly endless - that the future is (y)ours - the universe expands even more. What a beautiful time - the nights are growing longer, the moon is shining extra bright and sparkly. Lean into this coziness and allow yourself the space to truly be FREE in what you desire, what you deserve.
Pair this big, emotional, impulsive energy with something fun. Aries loves adventure and grand gestures, while Libra loves balance, romance, and charm. Remember to romance yourself with some playfulness lightheartedness to balance out the whirlwind of strong emotion.
We are nearing the end of the numerical year. You can let go of what is no longer in alignment with your life. Take the small steps that lead to the big steps. Channel your inner brave Aries energy and start to let that shit go.
This life is yours, baby. What a gift to continue to create. What a gift to allow yourself to feel, to pause. What a gift to allow the moon to guide us. What a gift of self awareness it is to reflect.
ALIGNED ACTION
It’s time to release and let go, baby. Even if you feel like you don’t need to - it is always welcome to shake out energy trapped in your body. Get it out to make space for that delicious FRESH energy. Put on your favorite dancing music - LOUD - immerse yourself - something that you can get lost in. Allow yourself to be FREE and move your body. It’s okay if it takes you time - let it. Allow yourself to continue to dance. Throw your arms around. Shake yourself. Whip your hair back and forth. Move your hands all around your body. Feel yourself. Make sounds. Take deep, fiery breaths. Don’t stop when the music stops - keep going. Cleanse. Drink a glass of water when you are finished and feel flushed and alive. Feel the delicious hydration invigorate you. What a gift.
JOURNAL QUESTIONS
When was the last time you did something truly impulsive? Why did you do it? Would you still have done it if you had thought of it? Were you glad you did it?
How would you describe your energy this week? List three words that reflect the last few days. Give yourself grace if you haven’t been feeling how you want to feel - be proud of your want to stick around.
What is something you can release in your life? What are you ready to shake up, let go of?
What is something brave, something that feels uncomfortable, that you want to do? Make sure that whatever it is, that it is yours. What is one small baby step you can take to make this happen?
thank you for being here, and thank you for gifting yourself the gift of pause and reflection. i’m endlessly full of gratitude for the moon and for how she marks time.
all the love,
markie
