It is only fitting that my first blog entry is about the full moon in Aries. I'm so thrilled to start sharing what I see (I'm a Projector Energy Type) with you in this format. I recently learned that Chiron (teacher, inner child, master) in Aries is opposing my natal Mercury (communication) in Libra and trining my moon a few times. I am in the midst of so much healing (Chiron) with my voice (Mercury) and childhood wounds around this. It has triggered some deep soul (moon) healing (Chiron). And with Chiron opposite my Mercury I'm feeling called to put a voice to all of that healing and be forward with my expression - something I did not feel safe to do as a child. So here goes. Thank you so much for reading and letting me share this piece of my heart with you.

The full moon in Libra is happening at 7:26am EST on Thursday. Full moons are a time of clearing, celebration, and release. They illuminate that which is ready to be released because it's in the way of your highest whether you consciously set intentions at the new moon or not. (Sometimes what is asking to be released may not be related to your intentions - our soul (moon) always knows what our needs are in the moment).
About Aries
Aries is Cardinal (initiatory) fire (light). Ruled by Mars, it's the sign of the warrior, protector. It's the masculine within each of us. If you know an Aries, they are full of energy, and I have arrived I am presence, drive. They are colorful, assertive, strong, bold, independent, fearless and focused. Each sign has a shadow side though so you might have also noticed they might be childish, rash, reckless and competitive. Aries is also associated with the 3rd eye chakra/ energy center, which encompasses the element of Light.
This is the first sign of the zodiac. It's the baby. It's the "I'm going for it" energy. It's a return to innocence as we shed the programs that block us from our truest expression of the light that we are.
Aries reminds us that we are each a spark if light that makes up all of huemanity! (Tthank you for my friend and astrologer Danielle @12thspace for making this connection!)
I can't help but make the connection with babies. They are pure Light, pure Love. They are the embodiment of the Light in its purest form. Only as we grow do we forget where we were before we incarnated, and all that we truly are - spirit embodied.
From Consciousness to Light
Pisces and Aries are the end and the beginning. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac wheel and Aries is the first. We go from consciousness, the most ethereal state, to something just a little more visible/tangible - light.
What's in between these two signs is the liminal space between sleep and wakefulness, between being a thought/an idea swimming in the sea of consciousness (Pisces) to the spark of light (Aries) that grows into the embodiment of that thought/idea.
Did you know that there is literally a spark of light at conception of a human being? You can imagine it's a massive amount of energy coming together to create something out of nothing. This is Aries.
And we can carry this into birth. Before birth we are swimming in the darkness of the womb (sea of consciousness), still tethered to Source yet with our mother's womb being our home here on Earth. Pregnancy is an in-between place for the soul.
Upon being born we come into the light, we become the spirit embodied (Venus), and we charge into the world carrying our unique spark of light (Mars). We open our eyes and let in the light (Aries, fire), we cry out experiencing the element of sound fully embodied as a human being(Taurus, Earth), and we take our first breath (Gemini, Air). The woman holding her baby becomes a mother (Cancer, Cardinal Water) and she is the baby's home for early years, before Mother Earth embraces.
This is Aries in its purest form. A light body. A desire (fire, light). The drive and energy to create. Fearless. Visionary. Going for it and I'll deal with the consequences when they come.
Questions to ask yourself around this full moon:
- What programs and conditioning are you releasing that made you forget the pure love, pure light, and the unique individual that you are?
- What needs to be burned away? Maybe the anger within can show you.
- Once you let the moon burn it all away, ask what desires to be born from this pure creative energy that is also Aries? Take a look back at your Aries New Moon/ Eclipse intentions or what was happening in your life then - around April 8th of this year. What's illuminated now or what has grown since that time?
- How does it feel to release whatever it may be that is holding you back from being true to your Self?
- Channel this passionate energy with full focus on the life you so deeply desire! Envision (Aries) this life for yourself and for yourself as part of huemanity? Write down this vision, free of the blocks that this moon is burning away.
Aries, as a fire sign, loves color, loves to vision, loves imagery. Can you envision that bright colorful life and future for yourself? It's okay to be selfish right now especially if you tend to do this for your loved ones...your energy inspires others. Can you be fearless and joyful at the same time in taking that first step toward this life?
After all birth IS SO JOYFUL, oh my goodness, just saying this makes me cry. It is a ceremony, a celebration (just like this full moon in Aries).
Can you let your life be that joy of having arrived in your most sparkling glory?
May this full moon in Aries bring you so many blessings!
