The month of October begins with a Full Moon in Aries, and ends with a Full Moon in Taurus. What does this mean?
Well, Full Moons bring life full circle. They connect seasons, cycles and culminating events to their corresponding New Moons. The New Moons in Aries and Taurus occurred on March 24th and April 22nd of this year, respectively, and I’m sure you will recall what was happening during that time. COVID-19 brought everything to a halt as crises prevailed across the globe.
It’s no wonder that as we move into the fall months with these lunar events underway, a time that I have been talking about here and here, we’re seeing a rise in COVID cases across the globe while Americans still wait with bated breath for a second stimulus package to be passed by Congress.
There are also other things coming full circle. The need for racial healing, threats to our current healthcare system, political election warfare and uncertainties surrounding women’s reproductive rights. And then there is, of course, what comes full circle in our own personal lives. None of these things ever went away, and this month brings unavoidable confrontations.
It’s why October will feel like a roller coaster of emotions – a shitshow if I may say so. Standoffs are likely, along with continued stalemates and standstills courtesy of Mars retrograde. What’s more, once Mercury stations retrograde in the sign of Scorpio in a couple of weeks, questionable motives and agendas will plague information platforms.
As I shared in a post on my Facebook page, we must stay centered, organized, hopeful and flexible. It will be easy to think the worst and to be consumed by the things we don’t wish to see, hear or know, things that will inevitably make their way into our psyches.
Frustration around what we cannot control will amplify, as we are reminded of just how much we don't know, forced to surrender our egos. I’m afraid I don’t have any motivational words of wisdom except to hold on; this too shall pass. We will make it through these next few weeks. Ironically, the only way to make it to the other side of this unrelenting year is through.
So be steadfast. Call on your people and guides to keep you grounded and supported. Even when it feels like our lives are being taken for a ride through tumultuous terrain, you must trust that the Universe always has our backs. Know this as truth.
Check your horoscopes to see what’s in store for this week ahead, and don’t forget to read for your Ascendant sign too.
