Full Moon Aries Tonight!
Friday October 22, 2010


Aries is going after what you want, instead of waiting for things to fall in your lap. It's taking bold action, even if nobody supports what you're doing. Tonight's Full Moon in Aries gets the fire going -- it charges up your will, and sense of purpose.

Aries is a sign of concentrated surging ahead, into new territory. It's worth asking yourself what you'd do, if you could do anything. The cardinal quality of Aries incites us to find that edge, and step into it. You'll know you're at your edge, when there's a tinge of fear/excitement and you're totally alive in the moment.

This year's Aries Full Moon is on October 22nd at 9:36 pm EDT.

Other names for the October Full Moon: The Moon closest to the Autumn equinox (Sept 22nd this year) is known as the Harvest Moon. Agrarian communities use this late season illumination to squeeze a little more harvest time out of the day. Some (like us) are getting the winter garden in. Native Americans called this Hunter's Moon, when foliage thins out and makes game more visible. It's also known as the Moon of Falling Leaves.

When the Moon is full in Aries, the Sun is in the opposite sign of Libra.

Aries is a cardinal sign, making it about instigating, activating and launching the new. Aries is a fire sign, with an emphasis on being animated, high-spirited, enthusiastic and eager to act.

Full Moon in Aries: trusting your instincts; the passion of compassion; vigorous warrior energies; the animation that comes from meeting a challenge head-on; fresh starts; courageous actions; risking confrontation to be authentic; forceful self-expression; the purifying fire of unsentimental truth; taking a stand; being at the edge of new experience; personal charisma.

This Full Moon illuminates: the vital power of the individual -- think David and Goliath; your courage to act on the strength of your convictions; your willingness to go it alone, if necessary, to take a stand; the catharsis of being true to yourself; the rewards of going beyond your comfort zone; the thrill of acting on impulse; the exciting heat of friction between strong personalities; your impetuous side.

It's a Good Time to: celebrate individual freedom and your right to live free; nurture hope in new beginnings; be inspired by the urgency of the times; take action, even if you're full of fear; act on strong intuitive hunches; face a threat directly; allow buried passions to emerge and find expression; honor the messages that guide your unique destiny; act on true desires, not what you think you "should" do; take a bold step toward what you really, really want; do what makes you feel alive!

If all the trappings of life are gone, and security is a faded memory, we live more in the moment. We rely on our wits, instincts, belief in who we are. This Full Moon riles up your confidence that you can meet the moment, as an amazing adventure to discover the dimensions of who you really are.

Yup, the consecutive Aries Full Moon!

This is good to know - it was about that time last night my daughter and I decided we were going to start a local animal protection awareness program and made plans for how we were going to do it. Looks like the universe was already behind us.

Also, my creativity has kicked in and I have several new projects of my own in the pipeline.

I noticed the moonlight last night and admired the way it bathed everything in it's milky glow. I still find light the most inspiring and soul reviving force on this planet. Whether day or night, it fills my heart with awe and fuels my imagination.
