Weekly astrology summary:
This week’s cosmic energies culminate with the arrival of the Aries full moon on Monday, Oct. 6, at 11:47 p.m. Balancing independence, sovereignty, courage, and leadership with cooperation, partnership, diplomacy, and teamwork are overarching themes. With Mercury’s shift into Scorpio earlier in the day, cozying up with Mars, tensions may rise, and hidden agendas or motivations may be revealed. Overwhelming emotional undertones are best soothed by exercise and moving the body rather than getting dragged into arguments or conflicts. Supportive energies are also present, placing value on connection, benevolence, simplicity, and active participation in shedding what’s coming up to be released. This full moon is also the eclipse season closer, gifting us a somewhat return to normalcy without the added layer of intensity in the cosmic vibe.
