FULL MOON - OCTOBER 1, 2020

The Full Moon is on Thursday, October 1st at 4:05 p.m. in 9° Aries.  

​A full moon in Aries can fill us with energy and vitality.  If you have a plan on how to use that extra energy you might be able to zip through tasks that you've put off. Some cautions though because Mars, the ruler of Aries is square to Saturn and Pluto in the Full Moon chart. For the next week or so:

• Don't start a new exercise program unless you know how to begin gently with careful body placement.  There's a tendency under these aspects to push to an extreme which could cause an injury - Mars is muscles and Saturn is bones. Pluto is the urge to defy limits.
• Avoid activities that involve sharp things, like home improvement projects such as hammering in nails or carving things with a knife.  Mars is sharp objects. Saturn is heavy things. Pluto is the urge to transform which can mislead you into feeling that instead of a simple project, you should pick up a sledgehammer and start smashing out walls.
• Find projects that are best done solo. Arguments with partners can thwart your goals at this time.
• If your tasks include phoning or messaging others, keep conversations light and abstain from clashing about political issues. 

Pluto goes direct on October 4th at 22° Capricorn, very close to Saturn. I wrote about the critical nature of this aspect two weeks ago at the New Moon.
​
​I truly believe life will begin to improve for everyone after the middle of October as the Saturn/Pluto conjunction gradually separates and the benefic Jupiter starts to transit over the same sector of the zodiac.  

Here's a recent photo from NASA of the Jovian moon Io in orbit above Jupiter's clouds:

I recommend this episode of the Astrology Podcast with guest Melanie Reinhart for those who are interested in the asteroid Chiron. Melanie Reinhart has been studying and writing about Chiron since the 1970s. Chiron the centaur is the "wounded healer" and a mentor to heroes in mythology. Where you find it in your chart may be the area of life you can be a help to others based on the life experiences you have struggled through.
