2021 OCTOBER FULL MOON

Historically called the harvest (or hunter’s) moon, this month’s full moon will arrive on Wednesday, October 20th at 10:57am. Please remember to enjoy the nourishing gentle energy this moon gives by gazing at it for several minutes while standing barefoot on the grass.

I have to say, “Thank goodness!” the Mercury retrograde is finally over! It was a heck of an emotional rollercoaster! BUT! We’re not out of the woods yet, folks, because this month’s full moon is in the intensely passionate house of Aries. Combine the fading (shadow) effects of this slow 2-week retrograde departure with this month’s full moon in Aries will make us feel emotionally driven to reach our desires. The most affected by this particular moon are Aries, Libra, and Capricorn sun signs.

If a relationship is on rocky grounds, it may reach its breaking point, because we will desire to search for our most fervent yearnings, and not put up with less. Be ready to launch into action, as this month’s full moon will have us feeling assertive and bold towards any emotional business that comes up. Also, our intuition will be heightened to guide us to know the best outcome. What we do with that knowledge is what it’s all about: Listen to our inner voice and act!

A word of warning: Just because we’ll feel like we want to take action and plow through to reach our goal, remember that this Aries full moon may make us too intense and impulsive. For best results, we must slow down and reign in our emotions, or we may find ourselves faced with resentment in a heated conversation or two. Also, power struggles can surface at work during this time, so we will need to be mindful of our words. Remember it isn’t about winning the argument at all costs, so playing our hand carefully will ultimately lead to positive and gratifying results.

Generally, full moons are the best time to gain clarity, get closure, and reach our highest and best. Aries sun signs tend to not wait patiently for things to happen and jumps in full-on at the first chance to get ahead. Having the full moon in Aries will give us all the drive to attain what we thought was unreachable. It’s action time folks!

Thanks for reading!
