Lately, it feels like we’ve been under a pressure cooker of sorts. And yes, we’ve been here before. 

The ever-constant presence of massive change and disruption playing out in the background of our lives is not likely to go away anytime soon. Moments of personal peace are still possible while things continue to shift around us. 

As Libra season draws to a close, take solace in knowing that you’ve grown in strength and will always be able to reclaim your balance no matter what.

Enter today’s Full Moon at 27° Aries, offering up a pushback of all the Libran sensibilities of calm, diplomacy, and comfort with duality and paradox. The Full Moon energy peaks on October 20, 2021, at 7:57 am PST. 

This Aries Full Moon wants to help you decide and ACT upon creating a life aligned with who you are becoming. During the Full Moon, signs of aggression or strong emotions will reveal a resolution to something that has eluded you for weeks. 

Mars, the ruler of the Full Moon, is at 23° Libra and opposing it. Any covert attempts to manipulate your decisions through guilt or criticism will be more apparent now. 

Remember, you have complete control over how you react, and there are safe and healthy ways to release any stuck anger. My personal favorite is to dance it out! Need a playlist?  Check out this one.

But that’s not all.

Two days before the Full Moon, on October 18, 2021, both Mercury and Jupiter stationed direct. We’re now in a period of massive forward energy. Can you feel the shift?

Jupiter stationed direct in Aquarius

Since June 2021, when Jupiter went back into Aquarius, you’ve been catching up to the growth spurt initiated by Jupiter back in the winter of 2020. Even good changes require some time to acclimate. 

Jupiter’s retrograde period allowed us to reconsider our choices and course correct if needed for optimum blessings. Now, as Jupiter moves forward (in the last decan of Aquarius), you too can move forward with greater truth, confidence, and knowledge. The innovative or avant-garde thing you’ve engaged with during Jupiter’s transit of Aquarius is needed and leads you to even more rewarding experiences.

Mercury stationed direct in Libra

This Mercury retrograde may have been extra challenging for you. Now that Mercury is direct, the internal processing of challenging information will slowly decrease as the energy emphasizes re-engaging external inputs. You’ve done all you can do at this point to find clarity within you, and now you’re ready to listen to other relevant voices

Mercury’s movement forward is unlikely to compromise your decision-making process, but it will provide new inputs to test and strengthen that process. Go ahead and begin conversations with those whose opinions matter to you.
