Super Full Moon in Aries | Oct. 17, 2024
October 17, 2024 is a super full moon in Aries where the Sun and Moon form a large Cardinal Cross along with Mars and Pluto. And the Moon is conjunct Chiron. This can create tensions around power, both internal conflicts and external conflicts.
Energy Super Moon and Full Moon
This is the 3rd Super Moon in a row and closest to Earth. Its energy is stronger and more palpable than when the Moon is more distant from Earth. The Full Moon is a pinnacle full of power and energy, shining a light on the facets of the sign it is in, in this case Aries. Aries is associated with willpower, focus and courage. It is action-oriented and contains the energy to tackle anything.
Moon Conjunct Chiron
Chiron represents the wounded healer and symbolizes your greatest pain, but also your greatest strength when you have dealt with this pain. The greatest power for yourself and for others. It reveals blind spots, but also shows that you yourself hold the key to liberation.
Major Astrological Aspect
At a Full Moon, the Sun and Moon are exactly opposite each other on the chart, so Moon in Aries and Sun in Libra. This forms a cross with Pluto in its last weeks in Capricorn, and Mars in Cancer.
Pluto is known as the planet of transformation, destruction and rebirth. Pluto brings your inner and outer worlds together, makes them one. This generational planet has another 4.5 weeks in Capricorn to finish what it started: reveal flaws in systems and the behavior of their leaders. The energy thus has urgency, speed and “pushing through". Read more about Pluto in Anaretic Degree Capicorn
Mars fuels the warrior within you. It helps you to face the world bravery and get over your fears.
(Internal) Power Issues
The combination and reinforcing effect of all these planets on each other, creates an energy that can cause (internal) conflicts around power. Especially since the Sun, which represents your life energy, is in Libra. Libra is associated with partnerships, long relationships, maintaining harmony, compromise, getting approval and recognition from the other.
You or I?
The question that emerges strongly is the extent to which you are concerned with pleasing others versus following your own passion, achieving goals and igniting bonfires.
This energy is perfect for saying goodbye to what doesn't suit you (any longer) and using your willpower to focus on what you do want, to set that in motion and do it.
