A FULL MOON happens on OCTOBER 17, 2024 (7:26 PM, Philippine Time), at exactly 24°35′ minutes in the realm of cardinal fire, ARIES, the sign of the warrior!
Full Moons act like cosmic spotlights, highlighting the emotions and situations we’ve been avoiding or haven’t fully understood. As the Moon reaches its brightest, fully lit by the Sun, it stirs up feelings that may surprise us. This is when those “aha” moments happen, where things become clear, giving us the opportunity to reassess and adjust. Under the glowing full moon, the universe invites us to reflect, reevaluate, and get a clearer sense of where we’re headed, helping us make better choices as we move forward.
The brightest night of the month is here once more, dear reader, with a FULL MOON happening in ARIES, the sign of the warrior! Culminations, realizations, endings, and closures—common themes of Full Moon energy—are in the air, casting a wistful, contemplative atmosphere over all of us under this intense lunar light.
However, it serves us to remember that Aries energy is quick, intuitive, and piercing, pushing us to act with the urgency that only necessity can demand. Reactivity and spontaneity shape the current atmosphere, and after a year and a half of eclipses affecting the area of our lives where this Full Moon lands, weariness and desperation may be expected. This increases the risk of erratic decisions, which can lead to friction-filled experiences at the least, and deep regret at the most.
We may feel exhausted, barely able to function, but Aries energy sternly responds, “If you’re tired, then do it tired.” While productivity may surge, so does the risk of failure and miscalculation. Misunderstandings may flourish wherever this lunation lands in our charts, and eventually (if we are wise), we may have to swallow the inevitable pill of slowing down—or even voluntarily shutting off—lest we risk the possibility of a more tragic outcome: an entirely avoidable, full-on mental, emotional, or physical breakdown!
ASPECTS of the FULL MOON
This lunation engages in three tense, cosmic conversations that add color and texture to the experience. As always, let’s zoom in:
SQUARE WITH MARS: MARS, the planet of motivation, tension, anger, passion, and movement, squares the Moon, bringing harsh, abrasive energy that may lead us to rush into things without fully considering the possible outcomes. Our emotions are heightened, and with Aries energy in charge, we’re more likely to act on impulse than take the reins and deliberate. Rash decisions will be common in the coming days, and arguments are likely to be the rule rather than the exception.
SQUARE with PLUTO: The Moon also forms a square with PLUTO, the planet of intensity and transformation, bringing power-plays and suspicion, in most of our important dealings. The need to merge and connect is strong, however, trust may be a luxury most may not be able to afford; hidden agendas are likely to come between fruitful alliances, and discerning ally from foe may be prioritized, even if there is no realistic necessity scenario that requires it.
CONJUNCTION with CHIRON: Lastly, this Full Moon lands beside Chiron, an asteroid/comet that represents emotional wounds we may have, that remain open, no matter how much time passes. During this lunation, expect moments of raw emotional honesty, where old pains may resurface, not to haunt us, but to guide us towards understanding and growth. The conjunction with Chiron highlights the potential for profound healing, but only if we’re willing to face these wounds with compassion rather than resistance!
To make the most of this Full Moon, we need to strike a balance between taking action and knowing when to step back. Aries pushes us to move fast, make decisions, and forge ahead, even when we’re exhausted. But with heightened emotions and potential missteps, it’s important to be intentional with our actions! This isn’t the time for rushing into things without a second thought; instead, it helps to slow down just enough to avoid costly mistakes.
The squares with Mars and Pluto may trigger frustration, power struggles, or knee-jerk reactions. Instead of getting swept up in the intensity, use the energy to tackle what really needs addressing. Stay aware of emotional triggers and ask yourself: Does this situation require a response right now, or is it best to give it space to settle?
Meanwhile, the conjunction with Chiron reminds us that healing is a process, and sometimes growth comes from acknowledging where we’re still hurting. It’s okay to feel vulnerable. Use this time to make practical adjustments, dear reader, whether it’s setting boundaries, taking a break, or letting go of something that’s no longer serving you.
Ultimately, this Full Moon invites us to be decisive, but also mindful! We are encouraged to find the sweet spot between pushing through and knowing when to ease off, so we can act with clarity and purpose, not just out of impulse. This is a moment to recalibrate, to nurture your ability with precision, and to move forward not just with force, but with direction! Under this intense lunar spotlight, may we all have the courage to step boldly—but wisely—into what comes next. ❤
