Full Moon in Aries 16 degrees (October 9th, 2022)
The Full Moon in Aries that occurs in October has a lot going on for everyone so let’s dive right in!
This full moon is holding hands with Venus the planet of love, romance, comfort, and money. This will aid the energy of the full moon adding a chance for everyone to gain a little extra money or to earn extra money from a job or project, a raise at work, a house, art, or items of beauty. Love relationships are also favored for everyone on this full moon. So take time to spend with your partner or to mingle if you are single. Everyone will benefit, but those born October, February, or April (5th – 13th) will get an extra dose of this good energy to bring you something really special!
This full moon is supported by a grand trine with Saturn and Mars which is the easiest most pleasing planetary pattern. Mars rules the sign of Aries and therefore also rules this full moon so to have this planet in the grand trine is truly special. This adds drive and energy to ambition and effort over time allowing something that you have been working on awhile to come to completion and turn out beautifully!
Writing projects, communications with others, teaching, learning, humanitarian projects, and groups or organizations are favored at this time. If you work in or with any of these areas, you will see extra success! Mercury goes direct on Oct 2nd, 2022 and will be moving forward through the zodiac once again at normal speed to help you make it to the finish line. If you have been waiting to sign a contract, buy an electronic item, or make a large purchase during the Mercury retrograde, then you could do so by Oct 7th with the full force of Mercury by your side to ensure you get the right outcome for happiness.
Try to complete these items by October 30th, 2022, which is when Mars takes his nap and goes retrograde moving backwards through the zodiac. This only happens only once every 2 years and will be very noticeable to everyone of every sign, but especially Aries and Scorpios. Mars will continue napping until January 12th, 2023. Mars rules energy, drive, enthusiasm, passion, the male sex drive, bravery, and arguments or war. So, you can see why completing your project by the full moon and especially before Mars takes his nap and retrogrades on October 30th is so important.

Now, during this full moon Mars is also clashing with Mercury and Neptune. This is an interesting thing because on the one hand Mars is well supported by this full moon and Saturn but on the other hand is clashing with Mercury and Neptune making what in astrology is called a T Square. In astrology, we often get conflicting information just as in life we have exciting and difficult things occurring simultaneously. This is important because how we use the energy determines the outcome of the experiences that we draw to us.
The clash here with Neptune and Mercury may have us all feeling foggy minded or easily mislead or confused or at its worst argumentative with others. When this type of energy pattern occurs it is extra important to clarify what the person is saying or your understanding of what was said. This helps prevent being accidentally mislead or having a miscommunication that will have you upset later when you realize the full intent of the other person. Adding on to this, when Mars clashes with Mercury we can often feel more argumentative and intolerant towards others and what others say to us. If you feel yourself wanting to snap and just blurt out opinions or feelings harshly towards another person or you feel defensive over what was said, that is your clue to slow down and breathe and think about how you want to say how you feel back to them. This extra effort will result in better conversations and better results for you.
You could also use this energy positively by meditating, exercising/stretching or contemplating to better understand your needs or desires to get more of what you want before you act. People with a birthday of March, September, or June (8th thru the 16th) will benefit the most by using these techniques to burn off the energy positively but every sign will still benefit by doing this. Everyone will also get help from Saturn at this time allowing you to add these things into your daily routine or your goals increasing the positive results you can achieve over time. Pluto is also in position to make people above you or people of power to take notice of your efforts and grant you something that you have been dearly wanting!
