Hallo bbz, Blessings for this afternoon / this evening / tonight’s full moon in Aries. the sun and moon reach their exact opposition at 5:05 pm EST, so 2:05 pm PST and just after midnight in Europe, etc etc.
There’s so much to write about this lunation but I will keep things quick and concise. Or at least brief. Because I’m running out of time and I’m thirsty. The moon in Aries is a moon that just keeps going. Toward what it wants. Toward complete and utter burnout. The Aries moon is like a sweet child. We need to remind this moon to eat properly, drink water and put away the phone before bed. Aries Moon is ecstatic. Full moons are a culmination. A catharsis. This could be the culmination of intentions that were set on the new moon in Virgo on September 17th or perhaps the climax of a story that began at the New Moon in Aries on March 24th (!!! I think this will play out with some relevance on the global stage as we approach a new *phase* of lockdowns, etc.). This full moon is conjunct Chiron ––the wounded healer. How has our healing become a crisis? How have we avoided our needs to keep pushing and pushing and pushing? Where we’re hurting right now is also where we have the power to nurture. This full moon is co-present with Mars retrograde. It highlights the same part of our life that has felt hot, bothered, itchy and potentially out of control since September 9th. It illuminates how we can be relieved of this unbearable heat. Mars rises with the moon at sunset tonight and tomorrow (and rises at sunset whether the moon is there or not everyday this month). We’re in the middle of a battle but Mars ––our warrior planet–– rises when it’s dark to get us through the night. This full moon could make us want to scream. It could make us want to cry. It could make us want to take a long, hard nap. The battle isn’t over but we know our strategy. And though there are some surprises in store later this month–– Mercury goes retrograde on the 13th through November 3rd...yes that November 3rd and the communication planet opposes eccentric, shocking Uranus three times this Fall. We don’t know every detail but we’ve read the guide. This lunation offers us the assurance that we do indeed have what it takes to make it through. Nothing this year is easy, today isn’t easy. Let’s stay in the sauna while remembering that there’s a cool glass of water waiting for us by the pool. Love you, happy full moon. Jaime ** what follows are horoscopes for each sign. if you know your rising sign, please read for that. & read your sun sign as well. if you don’t know your rising sign, reading for your sun sign is totally fine. there’ll be something there <3 (there might be something in all of them) these are meant to be nuggets to chew. hopefully, there’s some bite. these horoscopes are meant to be found. If you like what you read, please consider making a small donation ($3 suggested) here or to @Jaime-Wright on Venmo. If you’d like to take a look at your chart & what’s coming in the cosmic skies with me, you can book a session here. (More info coming about this soon !!!) ** Aries This time, it really is about you!!! There’s so much pressure, so much attention, so much purpose. You want to do the right thing! You always want to do the right thing! So keep going. Feel the heat. Release the pain. Let yourself be blinded by the sun, if only for a moment. Let yourself be blinded by your own power, if only for a moment. You can always reclaim your vision. This full moon calls you to be a leader. Mars rises at sunset. It’s your job to lead your loved ones through this truly dark night. You’ve wanted this responsibility. So go with it. Let yourself be scared, vulnerable, miserable, all of it. But don’t forget to be proud. Remember to drink water and keep running. We’re all counting on you. (It’s OK to love hearing that too.) Taurus It’s time for a hard pause. Take a long drive or a long walk or a quick swim & feel the salt water, the sweat, the damp heat on your skin. Sit in it. Sit with it. Go to the flower labyrinth that’s far enough away from the highway that you can sit in complete silence. Stillness. Peace. If you can’t get there, let yourself dream it. The society we live in forces us to make healing a crisis, a mode of “retreat,” an “other.” We’re made to think that healing isn’t part of real life. To heal, we must “get away.” Try to make healing a part of your everyday reality. Let it expand you, your reach. What’s just beyond yourself? Grab that lavender cloud and hang on for dear life. You’re tired so rest. But don’t stop living. Gemini If a friendship, community or audience isn’t serving you? Let it go. Seriously. Friendship should nourish you. Community should challenge. And an audience should adore you (or at least … be engaged). There’s a reason why you’re so hungry these days. But wait, now that I’ve told you to throw it all away. Before you release your catharsis into the void: make sure what you are releasing is actually toxic. Maybe it is actually something wonderful that just needs work? Rewind to the start of the story. Find that dogeared page in the first chapter of the book. What was notable? What was blossoming? Are you burned out or have you just forgotten to water your plants? This full moon is hot and dry. Leave behind what’s making you even hotter and dryer. There’s so much that makes you crave a desert oasis. Know what quenches your thirst. Cancer You never thought you’d get this far but somehow … you’ve won the game. It’s official. You’ve reached that milestone. But how does it feel to be here? Exhausting? Disappointing? Or thrilling? Even if you’re bewildered and tired and completely over it, let yourself be thrilled. Yes, the world is burning but it’s OK to be proud of yourself. The spotlight is lonely. Growth is lonely. Leadership is lonely. It’s much easier to follow than to set an example. How can you accept this award with more grace? (Maybe it’s about letting go of the need to show your work.) Instead, practice your acceptance speech and memorize the script this time. The fizzy wine tastes cool, tangy & otherworldly in all the right ways when you’re confident in what you have to say. There’s a reason the best wine comes from the land of volcanoes. Lava is alchemy. Leo You’re terrified to start this pilgrimage and yet, it’s time to go. Are your bags packed? Grab your serums! Enlightenment is no longer a cliché. It’s actually chic to be earnest these days (I know you know that you read all the things you’re supposed to read. I know.) And you’re right! This long walk may not take you to a holy land but you’re the only one who can define what’s sacred. That’s the thing. You’ve allowed a mentor, a guru, a sage to lead you astray. And for what? Clout? Fame? No one will remember how popular you were. Or that profile. Heal yourself by claiming yr own true legacy. Claim a legacy, make a legacy, dream a legacy. Be a legacy. There are so many beautiful ways to layer this track. Stop muting the choir. Let harmony rise. Virgo The love of your life is waiting. Inside of an argument. There’s something beautiful, poetic, fated about arguing. A never-ending negotiation. This full moon is here to make it painfully clear that to reach the next level, you must give something up. You must compromise. But you shouldn’t wave your white flag. The point is not to surrender. To argue is to have a point and to make it clear. When relationships, commitments, promises, debts of any kind lack arguments, they lack innovation. And for heaven’s sake, it’s 2020! There’s no life without innovation!! Settle into the relationships that make you willing to take out a loan, go into debt and continue the conversation for the rest of your life. You always want to be right but a big part of life is incorporating someone else’s opinion. It makes your plan more compelling. And don’t you want to be compelling? Arguments always return with investment. Libra No one forced you to sign this contract, bb. Remember that. & yes totally ––not everyone gets the pleasure and privilege of your anger! But maybe, just maybe, hear me out … MAYBE this problem isn’t solved through conflict. Perhaps the remedy is DISSOLUTION. (or distillation???) Meditate with laughter if you want to scream. Pour some extra nettle tea. Breathe. Yes, that ghost appeared in the park but maybe the message was to move on rather than to dive in–– Ignore his messages. He never did anything helpful for you anyway. What if you could take it all back? You can’t start over but you can start smarter. Gather all the vibes (phone banking call sheet, fountain pen, fresh picked apples, designer mask, BFF’s texts, pre-rolled joint, Elena Ferrante novel) & celebrate what’s over. Remember when you were invited to your own party? That time has come again. Scorpio What’s happened over the last few months: 1.You’ve been handed a never-ending list of tasks 2. You’ve decided you’ll never finish it all. “It’s impossible to do it all.” Yes, it is overwhelming. But it’s only impossible to do it all at once. What’s ahead for you is actually very manageable. Not fun. Tiring. But manageable. And as you see your ruling planet Mars rising like an orange orb in the eastern sky just after sunset, you know there’s never been a better time to get it done. It feels like a call to battle. An invitation to war. Don’t rush though. Piece by piece it comes together. Release the need to bond through battle scars. Go slow like a melatonin gummy. You can only do SO MUCH. Let yourself ooze with hydration as you take way too long to write a sweet letter to a friend, ok? Love takes time. Sagittarius As much as you crave pleasure ––insatiably! You seem to get itchy these days when you try too hard to chase joy. Today, that feeling is unbearable. You want to howl under the light of the full moon. Your ruling planet Jupiter is bright and profound in the night sky. Can’t everyone see? You’re present. You’re trying. Something stings. Stop. Breathe. Consider what’s cooling. Meet your date for a tall glass of water. Consider switching to watercolors. Listen to a record you already own. Not everything has to be so extreme, so daring. Make such a mark. Go about it with a light touch. Be the Agnes Martin painting you wish to see in the world! A pastel stripe. Not every sketch is a masterpiece and that’s OK. Don’t be afraid of being gentle. Try something impermanent. Capricorn You’re the one who makes the rules. You’re the one who stacks the bowls. You’re the one who collects that bouquet of sensitivities. Puts it on display. Like creosote, these personal items never completely die, just whither gracefully. Once we’ve kept them, they don’t need much water. But today, it all feels like a summer afternoon in the desert. Unbearable. You’re craving a bath. It’s more than a home. It’s your home. It’s wherever you feel respected. Someone or something or some… expectation is not bringing wine or fancy cheese to your door. It really is a matter of not letting someone else’s thoughts, provocations or dreams live inside of you rent free. Home is a place but it’s also peace. Only you can quell the flames. Exit stage right: this unwelcome guest. Hold the door as they go and like sand, let them dissolve. Aquarius Open the book of folklore (an archive is a collection) that’s been staring at you from the shelf. All these years. What spells are necessary to learn? What chants are necessary to leave? If you can’t live at a remove then you might as well conjure a potion or two. Since September, or maybe since June, you’ve felt a lack of a safe space. A quiet place. A rustling land. It seems that everyone needs yr attention. The barista. Yr car. The woman on the bus. Your cousin. Email after email after email. A long lost friend’s infinite text. How can you manage yr time better? How can you weave moments to make magic? Make yourself invisible between the folds of the passing hours? Boil the water. Add the herbs. Rinse and repeat. Keep drinking until you’re full. Pisces Your wish is for wealth. You wrote $8888 on a scrap of paper. Something to manifest. Burned a candle, said a prayer, almost forgot to dispose of yr match. You’re pushing and pushing and pushing but the gold has not yet been made. Why is that? What’s the missing piece for this alchemy? Or this get rich quick scheme? (Must they be mutually exclusive?) Security is spicy for you these days. You can’t stomach the broth that heals. You want to keep moving to release the heat but the process requires you to stay. Money should be more like water but we sit on it like earth. And now, it burns you like fire. So what if it’s all air? A shake of cayenne in yr hot cocoa is not a bad idea tonight. Drink the whole cup and let it burn away your fears. *
