At September 29, 2023 we have a plot shift Full Moon in Aries.
The full moon is at 6 o’clock° Aries, and aside from opposition to the Sun in Libra, the Moon does not form aspects with other planets.
Still, the Moon is in select company, sharing the sign of Aries with Chiron, Eris, and the North Node.
Chiron, Eris and North Node in Aries
Let’s talk a little about Chiron, Eris and the North Node.
We know that Chiron was a highly respected centaur, the teacher of heroes and the most revered mentor of his time.
Today he would probably be an executive coach – hired by top athletes, presidents and New York bestselling authors.
Eris on the other hand, it had a good reputation. She was known for her scheming and cunning.
When she is not invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, she hatches a devious conspiracy that indirectly leads Paris to make the fateful decision to kidnap Helen of Sparta.
The rest is history. We had the Trojan War and the fall of Troy.
The Trojan War is a central theme in Greek myth, symbolizing the consequences of uncontrolled ambition and the destructive nature of war. It is a reminder of the devastating impact of conflict on societies and individuals.
In addition to Chiron and Eris, we also have North Node in Aries. The North Node is not a part of Greek mythology, but plays a significant role in Indian mythology.
Just like Eris, the North Node (Rahu) was not invited to the party when the god and goddess came together to drink the nectar of immortality. So he disguised himself, showed up uninvited and stole the nectar.
Eventually he was recognized and beheaded, but because he had already drunk the nectar he became immortal. Since then it has been said that Rahu chases the sun and moon, causing solar eclipses.
When we look at these myths, we notice some common themes. Neither Eris nor the North Node were part of the “Cool Kids Club.” The High God and Goddess Society did not like her and did not invite her to celebrations.
Chiron wasn’t initially part of the cool kids’ club either. In fact, he was rejected at birth – both parents abandoned him, repelled by his appearance (he was born half-human, half-horse).
But Chiron didn’t sulk or become unruly like the other centaurs, who were notorious for their heavy drinking and rowdy behavior. He integrated his abandonment wound and alchemically transformed it into a deep source of wisdom and healing.
Full Moon in Aries – War and Peace
So we have Chiron, Eris and North Node in Aries. Now the next question is – What will the Moon in Aries do?
Will she take the advice of her Chiron life coach or be seduced by Eris’ apple and Rahu’s promise of immortality?
The Moon in Aries – any planet in Aries – loves to go to war. Planets in the opposite sign of Libra seek peace and harmony.
The plot thickens because Mars, the ruler of the full moon is actually in there Scale.
We have the Sun, South Node and Mars – all in Libra. Mars and South Node in particular can be quite passive-aggressive, expressing their frustration with sarcasm or subtle manipulation.
On the other side of opposition we have the planets in Aries. We’ve already talked about Eris and Rahu’s underhanded ways. Let’s just add that the Moon in Aries is not particularly known for its negotiating skills.
Unnoticed by other planets The Full Moon in Aries is torn between war and peace.
Perhaps there is no need for another Trojan War. But sitting and waiting is not an option either.
Full Moon in Aries – Venus sextile Mars
In times of tension and uncertainty, it’s good to remember that all new and full moons, as well as all planetary constellations, come with it Ways to rewrite the script of our destiny.
There are no two full moons that are exactly the same. Every transit is a unique moment that will never be experienced again.
What does that tell us?
This life is not just an endless, fateful journey where we have no power to change our course. Every single moment holds the opportunity to help shape our own narrative.
If, and only if, we Consider alternatives and different perspectivesmaybe our lives don’t have to be an endless loop of repeating patterns.
The ruler of the moon in Aries, Mars is sextile with the ruler of the Sun in Libra, Venus. There is unexpected help if we look for it.
In fact, Venus and Mars have been dancing in a friendly sextile for some time now, negotiating (Mars in Libra) creative solutions (Venus in Leo) to help us “break the spell.”It enables us to overcome life’s challenges with courage and grace.
The Full Moon in Aries brings with it a unique opportunity to shed years and decades of conditioning around conflict management and reactive behavior patterns – and do things differently.
