Saturday, September 29th, at 11:19 PM/EST, is
peak time for this month’s Full Moon in the sign of Aries. There are several
aspects that will add nuances to the overall picture, but if one word has to be
picked to describe the strong energies during this lunation, that word would be
“volatile”. Aries is a fire sign, and
things could definitely get “hot” in more ways than one. Transiting Uranus in
Aries retrograde will closely conjunct the Moon. That will create a Cardinal T-Square
with Pluto in Capricorn and the Libran Sun. The potential is great for tempers to
be short, and easily ignited. It is best to try and channel the energies in a
productive way, rather than letting the fire of anger take control.
The likelihood of ‘feeling the burn’ during this lunation is
great, as things are emotionally charged and could get pretty intense.
Definitely expect the unexpected. There could be arguments/disagreements,
confrontations with those close to you (friends or family), emotional
turbulence…all possibilities that could turn on a dime. If your temper flares,
it’s important to take a step back, and consider others feelings. You may do
some damage that will be hard to undo, if it’s possible to fix at all. Anger
based issues that have been floating around may come to the fore. Friends
and/or family may unload their own pent-up frustrations and repressed anger
over their own issues on you, and/or others. There is great potential to get
easily agitated, which can make one make poor snap decisions.
If this is all making you nervous, I’m going to pull some
sage words of advice from “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”…two words that
are “written on the guide’s front in large friendly letters: DON’T PANIC!” Just be cognizant of your part
in things. Instead of allowing anger to take over, try to utilize this Moon’s
potential. Use it as a tool to help empower, and evolve. In all dealings, it is
best to proceed with care and caution. Try not to speak from a place of anger,
and take a moment to chill out first. On the flip-side of this, if you are
facing someone else who is irate and need to speak from a place of emotion,
utilize the Moon’s energy to help muster the courage to speak up. It’s true
that sometimes it’s better to just walk away from someone who is being
confrontational and unreasonable, but sometimes it’s necessary to speak up and
express yourself. It’s all about patience. Something it would be wise to
exercise now.
Venus in Leo, and Mars in Scorpio, will be in a waxing
square. It may not be the best time to start a romance if you are looking for
something long lasting. A whirl-wind, hot and heavy start will most likely
implode as quickly as it began. This Mars-Venus aspect could easily help
generate some sexual tension. You may find yourself attracted to someone in a
big way, knowing full well that to pursue things would be a really bad idea. The
libido might give you some difficulty, but try to take a moment to decide if it’s
really worth it. As mentioned before, if you want to pursue something deep and
meaningful this might be a good time to err on the side of caution.
Neptune in Pisces will be trine Ceres in Cancer. This aspect
will add some nurturing energy into the mix, making you feel the need to nurture
those close to you. Jupiter in Gemini will make an extremely wide trine to a
Libran Mercury, which will inject a touch of humor into the mix. This aspect
will help lighten things up, and keep the lines of communication and conversation
open.

The status of existing relationships is a ‘hot’ topic for
this lunation, as Mercury, Saturn, and the Sun are all in the sign of Libra.
This is a good time to really take stock of your relationships in all areas,
whether they involve a business associate, friend, or significant other. What
criteria do you have for what you value in a relationship? Do the relationships
you have measure up? Even the best relationships involve a certain amount of
give and take, but what are you letting slide that is actually really important
to you? Putting a magnifying glass to those connections you question could
reveal some things you hadn’t noticed before. Things that might help you see
that some relationships aren’t worth keeping around. The “volatile” vibes may
pose some difficulties when ending things, but look at the severing of ties as
more of a cleansing. Why be a jerk about it if you don’t have to be? The Libran
Sun will help in looking at things from all sides, so you can better judge if a
compromise is needed. Also, don’t be afraid to say “no”.
Through the strong presence of volatility also burns a vibe
of opportunity. An opportunity to toss old emotional/mental garbage into the
cleansing fire. Some issues may be tougher to let go than others, but
releasing/burning all of that old trash you have been carrying around can be
empowering. Kind of like the mythological Phoenix bursting into flames at the
end of a life cycle, and then rising renewed from the pile of ash. Your
cleansing and renewed perspective may not be that dramatic, but the time is
ripe for tossing off that old stuff. Don’t get/stay stuck in powerlessness, and
take control back and work to exact positive changes on your life. Channel this
energy into a renewed perspective.

The following excerpt is from "The Farmer's Almanac":
- Full Corn Moon or Full Harvest Moon: "This Full Moon's name is attributed to Native Americans because it marked when corn was supposed to be harvested. Most often, the September Full Moon is actually the Harvest Moon, which is the Full Moon that occurs closest to the autumn equinox. In two years out of three, the Harvest Moon comes in September, but in some years it occurs in October. At the peak of harvest, farmers can work late into the night by the light of this Moon. Usually the Full Moon rises an average of 50 minutes later each night, but for the few nights around the Harvest Moon, the Moon seems to rise at nearly the same time each night: just 25 to 30 minutes later across the U.S., and only 10 to 20 minutes later for much of Canada and Europe. Corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and wild rice the chief Indian staples are now ready for gathering."
