How October’s Full Moon is Going to Lead to Your Sign’s Breakthrough or Breakdown
From October 19 - 20, 2021 we will experience October’s Full Moon in Aries. In order to understand how it will impact your sign, here’s the planetary transits taking place:
Sun in Libra
Moon in Aries
Mercury in Libra
Venus in Sagittarius
Mars in Libra
I used the inner planets only to illustrate how it will impact you emotionally and mentally. Overall, the theme for those two will be utilizing your passion, aggression and independence to garner support for your unique goals. Depending on how you have reconciled aggression and cooperation, this will be a constructive or destructive period.
Aries
Aries Sun and Risings will experience a mixed bag during this transit. You may have spent the entire Mercury Retrograde period pissing people off. In which case, you’ll finally be able to see some rewards for asserting yourself. But it may come at a cost of loved ones and coworkers distancing themselves from you. Or, you decided to finally assert yourself and create boundaries for yourself. One of the things people overlook about Aries is their willingness to go to the ends of the earth for the ones they love. The results could be an extremely passive Aries, who allows others to railroad them.
Taurus
Taurus Sun and Risings will have a good experience. During the Mercury Retrograde you’ve been faced with a number of interpersonal issues, including boundaries between you and family. People look to you, Taurus, to be the rock and that can be a heavy burden to carry. Have you figured out how to actually ask for the help you need? If not, the Full Moon will require you to ask for what you want and stick with the people who support you.
Gemini
Gemini Sun and Rising signs will have a harder time with the Full Moon transit. I think this is due to their fundamental struggle with not wanting to be outwardly aggressive. You have an easier time with Libra’s cooperative energy. But when it comes to asserting yourself, that’s where I see most Gemini’s lacking. The Mercury Retrograde exposed issues within your interpersonal relationships. The Full Moon asks you to confront them in order to bring you closer to loved ones.
Cancer
Cancer Sun and Rising signs will have a mixed bag of results. Are you the family oriented, seeking cohesion type of Cancer? Or the withdrawn and socially isolated Cancer? The former will have a harder time creating boundaries with loved ones in order to pursue their individual goals. The latter will have a harder time asserting their need for a support as they embark on their path. Use the Full Moon to assess what your vision for 2021 and to ask for the resources you need to fulfill it.
Leo
Leo Sun and risings will experience a good full moon. You are already an expert at mobilizing and delegating tasks within a group of people to further your individual goals. You’re also great at asserting yourself. So the biggest issue will be understanding that those closest to you do you have different experiences, and they have different opinions. If you took the time to understand their perspectives it would actually help you be a more compelling and skilled leader. You may have a breakthrough in some long held goal you’ve been working towards. This may impact your career to a new level that will require you to work with people of different backgrounds.
Virgo
Virgo Sun and Risings will have a hard time emotionally coping with the Full Moon. The mercury retrograde stressed you out because of the chaos in your interpersonal and professional relationships. You like things to be tidy and neat and this past Libra season was anything but that. The Full Moon will force you to reflect on your boundaries. And this will feel really uncomfortable. Yes, you actually have to cultivate and keep in touch with your network. Additionally, you’ll need to assert your needs and boundaries without ghosting everyone. You’ve probably been hard at work on some vision for a long time. If so, learning how to work with other people’s personalities will help you succeed long term.
Libra
Libra Sun and Rising’s will have a hard time during this Full Moon. You may experience a complete breakdown. Why? The Mercury Retrograde has already been super confusing and Libras are notorious for being indecisive. Additionally, you have had an issue with your words being lost in translation or just no communication. So this transit may cause you to have an explosive interaction with a loved one. From there you’ll have to figure out what’s next for you. Which may add to the anxiety that comes with you trying to make the “right” decision. But keep in mind that sometimes you have to figure out what doesn’t work for you in order to know what will work for you. The next couple of months will encourage you to explore and experiment.
Scorpio
Scorpio Sun and Risings will have a neutral or good experience with this Full Moon. During Mercury Retrograde you got rid of some people in your circle. You realized that some people haven’t been there for your highest good. Other people have been a distraction from your goals. You’re rethinking what you want out of life.And this calls into question how your friends, family and lovers fit into this new vision. You will also face some sort of epiphany related to love and family. Perhaps you realize that your idea of love comes from an expectation that your mom or dad or siblings projected onto you. And this does not align with what you want for yourself. Moving forward, you’ll be thinking through or exploring what life looks like when you fulfill your own idea of love.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius Sun and Rising‘s have been going through it during Mercury Retrograde. And this full moon will finally help you understand your blocks in relationships. Libra rules communications, particularly around your community and loved ones. As a Sagittarius, you are typically very independent. So what happens when you have to start relying on people? It feels really scary. Luckily Venus is in your sign which will help you understand the concept of interdependence. You don’t have to be glued to someone but you also don’t have to do everything yourself either. The Full Moon in Aries may actually force you to be vulnerable. On the other end, it’s totally possible that you end up getting into a big argument with a loved one and you push them away. The goal here is to learn how to assert yourself without steam rolling loved ones.
Capricorn
Capricorn Sun and Risings will have a neutral experience during this Full Moon in Aries. Here’s why… You are accustomed to working within the “system” to get things done. You will not hesitate to compete or create a boundary to succeed. The only thing that may cause some issues is the Venus transit because it’s making you rethink your belief system. And the one thing Capricorn hates being is confused. Keep in mind the system for success is rapidly changing. As a result, you will have to change. This will happen pretty quickly. But you do have time to prepare. At minimum, start exploring other avenues for love and career. This may look like exploring polyamory if you’ve always been monogamous. Or exploring entrepreneurship if you’ve always worked a traditional 9 to 5.
Aquarius
Aquarius Sun and Risings will experience a neutral or slightly negative experience during the transit. During the Mercury Retrograde, you have been misunderstood. And it’s been really hard to be objective. It’s also unlike you to be competitive or outright angry, which the full moon will bring out of you. Maybe this whole time you’ve thought if you’re a master communicator no one will ever be able to manipulate your words. And this brings into question why you consistently communicate with people who are committed to misunderstanding you. Or vice versa. They may have a completely different outlook on life and that frustrates you. On the other hand, you may have chosen to remain completely silent. And this transit will force you or someone else to really speak their mind. Listen closely to what the other person is saying. Or if it’s you, explore the root of your frustration or anger.
Pisces
Pisces Sun and Risings will be the most confused during this transit. The Mercury Retrograde made it harder to distinguish between your perception and reality. Miscommunication were abundant. And you had a hard time reconciling them. This Full Moon in Aries will bring more aggression into your life. And so maybe the lesson for you is to learn how to advocate for yourself without jumping to rage. In the event you have been sacrificing for others (who make you this mad), why are you doing so much for them??? You may need to let some of these people go on their own path. This will great for you and them. Sometimes you have a tendency to get yourself into codependent relationships that don’t serve either person. How can you set more boundaries for yourself?
