This week we have a Full Moon in Aries at 15.57 GMT on Wednesday 20th October! Carry on reading to find out why this is such an exciting time, plus our favourite Full Moon ritual, and the crystals we recommend for you to use.
This full moon is often referred to as The Mist Moon as the countryside is transformed by magical mists as the veils between the physical and spirit worlds becomes thinner approaching Samhain. The energy is fiery! It is a powerful and positive Full Moon for all Air and Fire signs, but more challenging for Water and Earth signs.
With so much to talk about with this Full Moon, here is a quick overview. Simply select the link below to go to the section you are looking for:
Why is a Full Moon important?
The night of the Full Moon represents possibility, unfolding potential and abundance as one of our New Moon intentions could be about to manifest or be on its way. Each month the Full Moon takes place in a different sign, bringing a new and different energy and theme to work with.
We need to spend time outside and look up at the Moon (if it is visible), connect to our basic instincts and feel wild and free. Our ancestors have danced and celebrated under the light of the Full Moon throughout time and in surrendering to the present moment we are then open to receive what is available to us right now.
Affirmation: I surrender to spirit and open my heart to infinite possibilities
We can go within to release the past, shift blocks and heal ourselves. This is easiest when we remember that forgiveness and gratitude are the major players at any Full Moon. The Full Moon is shining so brightly at this time that it is illuminating the darkness to help us see exactly what inner work needs to be done.
How will this Full Moon in Aries affect us?
At the Full Moon, the Moon and Sun are sat directly opposite each other with the Sun illuminating the Moon. They are both in signs that are totally opposite sides of the zodiac but need to find balance and common ground. They represent opposite ends of the spectrum, neither good nor bad, just what is. This month the Sun is in Libra and the Moon is in Aries. We are looking to find the meeting ground between others (Libra) and the self (Aries), finding harmonious balance in our relationships.
How to embrace the Full Moon
We live in a world of energy, or better yet, a web of energy where all things are connected. There are no gaps in this energy, so when we shift and release lower frequencies from our energy field it creates a void that we can then consciously choose to fill with something of a higher nature, with a super-high frequency. Basically, it's out with the old and in with the new. Creating a ritual is the perfect way to work through this process. Here is our suggestion for a Full Moon Ritual:
Step 1: Forgiveness holds the releasing power and creates a void.
Forgiveness is the first step in the healing process as we have to release the past so we can live the life of our dreams. Forgiveness sets us free as when we forgive, we release the karma which binds us to a person, situation or experience and allows us to be free of it. It does not mean that we condone the actions of someone else, it just allows us to let go and move on. This is such a gift as we can release the burdens we carry and choose to do something far healthier with our energy instead.
Forgiveness affirmation: I release the past with love in my heart
Step 2: Gratitude holds the power to fill the void.
We can fill the gaps created by forgiveness with gratitude as it has such a high vibration. Gratitude is a magical attitude we can choose to have, it helps us to raise our frequency which makes us lighter and brighter and manifests more things for us to be grateful for.
Gratitude affirmation: I know that I am truly blessed and all is well in my world
Step 3: Guidance
I invite you to ask yourself some big questions under the Aries Full Moon and then just feel the answers rise up from your heart. Use these five questions to help guide you:
Am I taking action in my life?
What is the nature of my relationship with authority and leadership?
Am I following a leader I don't respect, in fear of going my own way?
Have I been argumentative, competitive or impulsive?
Have I had enough fun?
Step 4: Meditate
Meditation is a great tool we should look to use daily, but it can take us to new levels when we meditate and harness the energy that surrounds us during the different stages of moon cycles. Use meditation to help you clear your headspace and reframe. If you aren't sure where to start, you can watch our collection of meditation for beginners videos here.
Step 5: Use Crystals
Another phenomenal tool to harness is our crystals and their energy, they can help us at any or all stages of the Full Moon ritual. Picking crystals intuitively is the best way to surround yourself with the energy you need but if you need a starting point, here are three crystals we would recommend:
Aries is ruled by Mars, and they are both renowned for their warrior energy. The energy of Mars, however, is warrior energy that restores balance and peace.
Red Jasper is a stone of strength, stability and vitality, making us feel uplifted and empowered so we can channel the courage and endurance of Mars.
Carnelian also helps to channel the fiery energy of Mars with increased life force energy, confidence and vitality. It is a powerful tool to help us develop passion and power.
Blue Lace Agate brings a calming and soothing energy to temper over emphasised fiery energy like frustration, anger and resentment at this Full Moon. It calms the emotional body and helps us to release any negative habits of interaction within our relationships.
Choose an affirmation, select the crystals you are drawn to and be prepared for this Full Moon. It's setting us up to balance the love we give and receive and in doing so improve all of our relationships.
Love and crystal blessings,
