Full Moon in Aries on 7th October @ 2:47pm ADST. The cardinal fire sign of Aries is impulsive and courageous, so celebrate this full moon with being called to feel into what needs your attention – a new project or expression of self.
The post-eclipse effects may also be strong during the full moon, as the lunar energies connect us to our emotions and memories of the past.
The Aries full moon encourages us to put the past behind and finally put an end to painful and hurtful chapters. Although changes might be challenging at times, Aries provides the self-assurance and drive to begin a new cycle without self-abandonment or overcompensation.
Venus (beauty, love & relationships) moves into her home sign of Libra on 14th October. The planet Venus seeks harmony while navigating social situations of justice and collective responsibility. This is an illuminating time to focus on living life aligned with your principles.

On a sensory note, divine love, nature, and creativity are key to this potent signature. Take a moment to soften into the deliciousness and create more sensual magic and acts of pleasure.

Neptune Rx re-enters Pisces on 22nd October. Neptune in Pisces influences love which transcends all boundaries and cultivates faith and trust towards a greater purpose in life, with a softness to allow a deep surrender and letting go to find peace with this retrograde period.
An important reminder is that nothing is predefined with destiny or fate. The water sign of Pisces encompasses the collective field of grief and loss which can be overwhelming to sensitive souls during times of disillusionment.
Take a quiet moment to rest and dream. Focus on restoring your spirit to a place of deep nourishment by spending time in your favourite place in nature or a secret haven.

Be fearless in your discoveries as the darkness reveals secret treasures buried deep in the psyche. This is the moment to let go of the past, start again, and have faith in the transformation and change.
During this solar season, when the stars unveil the gift of regeneration and rebirth, never forget that you are the magic of everything you are in your life.
