Full Moon in Aries (October 2022)
The moon will be making it’s first opposition to the sun for the 2022 fall season this week. On the 9th, the moon will find itself at the midpoint of it’s cycle in cardinal, airy Libra. Anytime the moon makes this lunar-solar aspect, we have a full moon. The entirety of the moon being illuminated by the sun is where the “full” part comes from. Speaking to energy, the full moon in every lunar cycle marks a period of clarity, release, cultivation, and often, heightened intuition and emotions. This full moon will be in the sign of the ram, which is ruled by Mars. It is also associated with the first house (1H) in astrology, which makes this a great time to focus on our individual needs, desires, and goals.
