“Rise up,

When you’re living on your knees, you rise up,

Tell your brother that he’s got to rise up,

Tell your sister that she’s got to rise up.”

—Lin-Manuel Miranda

Happy Full Moon in Aries!  We’ve been in a contemplative and preparatory energy since September’s watery Pisces Moon, and now the passionate Aries moon is here to shake us up and out of our heads and back into the world.  We are called now to take action and reclaim any parts of our lives that we have allowed to drift, remembering that we are the captains of our ships, the writers of our narratives.  Aries energy is all about trusting yourself to be independent and thrive, to develop a greater sense of self and purpose, and to not be cowed by obstacles.  Mercury, planet of communication, is opposing the moon and we may be feeling a lot of passion and expressing it vehemently through words, getting in arguments, and pontificating our powerful points. We should be mindful, right now, to not just talk and talk and talk without listening, especially in instances when the other point of view is vastly different from our own.  We may KNOW we are right, but trying to strong-arm the person we are debating into submission will not succeed in getting them to come around to our way of thinking.Though Aries is fiercely independent, the Sun in Libra asks us to consider those around us and how our actions effect them, and we are invited right now to work towards connection, compromise, and collaboration.  This doesn’t mean that we suppress and deny our feelings and passions in order to get along pleasantly with those around us, but we need to examine the way we approach impassioned discourse and consider how we might be more effective at making the most important parts of our messaging heard.  When it comes to communicating with those whose views may be more aligned with our own, we are invited to embrace raw and truthful communication and not be afraid to be vulnerable or disagree. How can we work together to create a better world? The Aries moon will support you in creating solutions, overcoming difficulties, and moving forward on projects. It also illuminates the issue of personal power and where it springs from when we wield it. Pay attention to if it’s coming from your heart or ego, and adjust accordingly.  <3
