WHAT HAPPENS DURING A FULL MOON?

The Sun and Moon oppose each other in the sky, while the Earth resides in between the two planets. The juxtaposition and position of the planets create a glowing effect on the Moon that makes it look brighter than ever from the Earth’s perspective. Being that July 13 brings a Supermoon (the most major one of the year), it brings the Moon closer to Earth which will make the lunation appear bigger and more vibrant than ever.

 

WHAT DOES IT REPRESENT?

The full moon represents the culmination of the 30-day lunar cycle. All of the projects that we’ve been working on for the past month reach an ending or hit a pivotal turning point. Change and growth have happened. Now is the time to reflect and enjoy the fruits of our labors.

 

WHEN DOES OCTOBER’S FULL MOON IN ARIES OCCUR?

The Full Moon occurs on October 9 at 1:55 pm PST and 4:55 pm EST.

 

HERE'S WHERE THE HUNTER’S MOON GETS ITS NICKNAME.

This was the time when hunters started to forage under the moonlight before the winter season.

 

WHAT DOES THE FULL MOON IN ARIES  MEAN, ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING?

The lunation aspects the planets Venus, Mars, and Saturn (who’s currently retrograde), adding a combustible and fiery element to the emotional state of the Moon.

 

The healing centaur Chiron (who’s moving in retrograde motion), as well as asteroids Lilith and Pallas Athena are activated by the Full Moon. Lilith adds a rebellious attitude, while Pallas Athena brings a passionate nature to the mix.

 

This means that we are standing up for our rights as individuals and taking back our power. No one can stand in the way of us attaining our personal autonomy. After all, we are individuals who have the freedom to do as we please whenever we want. The time has come to fight back and reclaim our rights.

 

WHAT RITUALS SHOULD YOU DO DURING THE FULL MOON?

 

● Take a bath with red rose petals, peppermint sprigs, and a few drops of Florida water to wash away the negativity in your life and to bring out your passions. Before taking a bath, it’s important to write a letter of intention that states everything you wish to at least and add to your aura. meditate on your intentions, while you are soaking in the bathtub, or pouring the fragrant mixture over your shoulders in the shower to bring these sentiments to reality.

● Light a red candle (this is the color of Aries and its planetary ruler, Mars). As the candle is burning, focus on the flame. As you are doing this, meditate on the things within yourself. Thoughts you are desirous about. Use the fire's influence to awaken the spark within yourself.

● Cleanse your home and personal space. Add 1 part Florida water, 2 parts tap water, and fresh lavender to a spray bottle. Spray in the crevices and corners of your home to remove bad energy and to restore harmony in your home.
