Greetings Seekers,
As the Aries Full Moon illuminates our skies on September 29th, we find ourselves in the midst of a liminal and transformative period, marked by the series of planetary retrogrades and the recent Autumn Equinox. This is a time to embrace both balance and change, as we navigate the dynamic energies of the Aries and Libra.
The Full Moon in Aries is a beacon of raw, unfiltered energy, illuminating our path, inspiring action on an instinctual and intuitive level. Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, brings with it the spirit of initiation, boldness, and motivated action, its words to the zodiac are "I Am". As we experiance this lunation we are invited to tap into this Warrior-like energy and take inspired assertive action towards our goals and aspirations.
Counter-balanceing this forward energy is the Sun's position in harmonious Libra, forming a powerful axis that calls us to seek equilibrium between our need for individual expression and our desire for cooperation and unity. Libra, the sign of the scales says to the world "I balance" and reminds us of the important role harmony, and diplomacy plays in our lives. As we assert ourselves, we must also honor our relationships, strive to seek compromise, mutual understanding, and duality in our loves. This is the duality of the Aries-Libra axis - a dynamic interplay between self and other, independence and partnership, assertion and harmony.
The recent Autumn Equinox on September 22nd further underscores this theme of balance. As day and night reach perfect equilibrium for the second fleeting moment this year, we were reminded to seek balance in our own lives. This transition into autumn is a time for introspection and preparation, as we reap the harvest of our actions and prepare for the inward focused journey through winter.
In this season of change, we are also navigating the final stages of several significant retrogrades. Venus, the ruler of Libra and planet of love and values, ended its retrograde journey on September 3rd, encouraging us to move forward with the renewed focus and clarity that we have gained during this rest period. Offering new prespective in how we view and show up in our relationships and financial matters.
Mercury, the messenger planet, followed suit, wrapping up its retrograde on September 15th. This likely brought insights and revelations, particularly in areas related to communication, travel, and technology.
Looking ahead, we can await the end of Pluto's retrograde on October 11th. As the planet of transformation and rebirth, Pluto's direct motion will mark a powerful transitionary period, or the closing of a chaper.
In conclusion, this Aries Full Moon, cradled in the arms of the Libra Sun and invites us to find balance in the face of change, to courageously embrace transformation. As we navigate this liminal time, remember that you carry the seeds of potential within you. Harness this energy, find your balance, and step boldly into your future. With the stars as our guide, we continue our journey, embracing the magic and mystery of the cosmos.
