Full Moon in Aries & The Magician

Full moon is coming up in Aries this week. This is an energy that usually feels blocked for me, sometimes by fear, sometimes by just straight up exhaustion from trying to be an adult. Anyone else? Surviving is hard work, not to mention trying to stay creative, making art, keeping healthy relationships, healthy boundaries, etc.. Sometimes, by the end of the day there is just nothing left and we’re all used up. So this full moon can be especially sharp I think.

And... Adult land is fierce! We work and work to be comfortable, stable, maybe happy. A sense of stability is crucial in order to do anything creative with your spark. Success and power live here first, in the grounded~ness, and in the creative/sacral plane second.

If you are overworked right now, it’s time to take stock of your power leaks. What fraction of your day is for you, and no one else? Can you expand that time, or bend it a little, to give yourself a little more? This is the root work that leads to the fire, the creativity, and the Aries energy.

The big question to ask yourself this week is: What do you want? Can you be specific, put it in one sentence, and visualize it happening?

Write it down, and then see if you can take a step, big or small, to throw yourself in the flow of getting that thing you want. Full moon in Aries is the time to start that cycle. Think of your Aries friends. Fiery trailblazers, with the energy of a thousand suns. Do they hesitate to go after their goals? No. They don’t think twice, they just go, and it often works for them. Why? They have momentum. They are living in the flow of doing what they want. Once you start, it’s easier to keep going. That’s the law of momentum, anyway. Don’t think about it - just do the thing.

And this is the lesson of this Aries moon-Libra sun axis: thinking and rationalizing away your true wants will always postpone your dreams, until you start to act like an Aries, and go get the thing you want.

Your tarot card ally of the full moon is The Magician. The Magician is the manifester. They have all their tools in front of them: wands, cups, pentacles, swords. These are the four elements, what the soul uses to make magic and lasting change. The Magician points up and points down. As above, so below. As within, so without. Everything that exists within you already exists outside of you, you only need to use the tools surrounding you to bring the dream out of you and into existence.

Here is the road map: 1. Assess your power leaks 2. Make reasonable changes to take more of your power back 3. Write down what you want with clarity 4. Name the resources you have that will help you get that thing, and use them 5. Use your reclaimed power and your resources to take actual steps toward that thing you want, then keep going because you have momentum

Why waste any more time? Happy full moon 💖
