This month’s full moon in Aries will peak on Sunday, October 9 at 4:56 p.m. ET — and Budd tells mbg it’ll be intense and “definitely a little extra.” This is because Chiron, Venus, Saturn and Mars are all involved in a big way, she explains.
Chiron is also known as the “wounded healer” of the birth chart and it reveals where you might have a core wound to work through. Venus, meanwhile, is the planet of love and beauty, Mars, the planet of action, and Saturn, the planet of limitation and discipline.
As Budd points out, this full moon is in Aries conjunct Chiron and opposite Venus. “So there can be a general theme of injury — or of the positive, healing — around relationships, or our experience of comfort, beauty, and pleasure,” she says. It could also present an opportunity or highlight on the Venus front, she adds.
The Sun and Venus, both in Libra, also form a great trine with Saturn in Aquarius and Mars in Gemini, which Budd says means the energy of dedication, hard work and commitment is mingling with the energy of action and initiation. “This can create a ‘get it done’ atmosphere,” she explains.
“Generally, the themes of change and instability continue because of the ongoing northern node-Uranus conjunction and the Uranus-Saturn square, which has recently become exact (after a period of separation and decline), during Saturn’s retrograde periods. and Uranus,” Budd tells mbg.
