After the intensity of the Eclipses, the Aries Super Full Moon on October 6, may feel like a chance to exhale and let go. What has served its time? What ideas, thoughts, and emotional patterns are we holding onto that no longer support our highest growth? What habits have we fallen into that we may be unaware of how they are limiting us? This Full Moon is a chance to let it all go, and then see what remains.
The October Full Moon is a Super Moon. Super Moons occur when the Moon is close to planet Earth. This allows us to feel the gravitational pull of the Moon more strongly. In astrology, Super Moons have the power to unearth buried emotions and to bring hidden information to the surface. Things come up and out with greater ease under a Super Full Moon, almost like its bright, illuminating light shines on all that needs to be exposed. Super Full Moons are also powerful harvest points and are said to bring a ripening of ideas and the culmination of projects. Super Full Moons are also known for helping to bring in abundance.
As this is the first Full Moon since the Equinox, it is also said to bring intentions from March to fruition. Think about what was happening for you in March, or any projects you have been working on since this time. You are likely to see the rewards of your efforts under this October Full Moon. Alternatively, issues you were working with in March may come back around to be revisited. There may be more for you to learn, or the Super Full Moon may pull back more of the curtain, revealing new and helpful insights.
As this Full Moon falls in the sign of Aries, we look to Mars, the natural ruler of Aries, to see how this Full Moon may play out. Mars is the planet of action and motivation, and is currently touring through the watery sign of Scorpio. While Mars is fiery, it actually loves to be in watery Scorpio. It is here that it can really dive deep into what motivates us, what desires we have, and what fuels the energy behind what we do. There are big realizations on offer under this Full Moon around what we truly wish to spend our time doing, what truly motivates us, and if we are following our passions or not. We may feel a strong drive to get things done, or to finally bring an end to things that we no longer want to give our time to. Our motivation is likely to be high, and this may reveal to us where we truly wish to spend our energy. With the Sun in Libra, the sign of the scales, there is also added support here to create some balance in our lives, especially when it comes to our energy levels.
One thing that can come to our attention in Libra Season is how much of ourselves we are choosing to give away to others and to events or situations in our lives. This Full Moon and the energies of our Libra Sun will help us to prioritize how we are spending our energy and to create more balance.
