Our lady becomes full this month at 7:36 am, September 19 2013 in the 2nd quarter. 

The Moon will not be in any sign as she becomes full but will settle into visit with Aries at 12:58 pm and stay there until September 20 when she will once again become void off course until she changes signs on September 21.

Traditionally the Full Moon is thought to be a good time to finish up projects and bring things to a close. 

The Moon in Aries: This could prove to be a challenging time for some. Aries is bold and brave and sometimes gets us into trouble by forging ahead without any thought to consequences. Aries is childlike in his desire to explore, which can put one into troubling or challenging circumstances. It’s easier to speak up when the moon is in Aries, we want to express our feelings and let others know we have had enough or we may simply want to be heard.

Helping us to speak up or put ourselves forward can be a good thing, especially for those of us who aren’t very good at it the rest of the time. Having the moon in Aries also helps us to focus on the self instead of others, which again is good for those who forget to include themselves in their own support network. However, the full moon as we all know can bring about some very odd behaviour in some of us, in fact most of us likely feel more agitated and less patient during a full moon, and indeed the day or so leading up to the full moon and sometimes a day or so afterwards. 

Now, if we put the full moon’s influence and Aries in the some room together we could end up with some trying moments. Aries is ruled by Mars, and Mars is the planet of aggression, he is masculine and wishes to assert himself whenever possible.  The moon represents our emotional side. 

So… it’s a very good idea to take time to monitor our emotions and reactions when these two are together, we may be prone to arguments, impulsive decisions, rushing about (which can cause accidents) and saying/doing things we later regret. Harsh words said now may cause more damage than was ever intended. It’s best to stay away from irritating people, keep to yourself (if you know you are going to be grumpy) and use the Mars energy in positive way, like cleaning out a closet or the car, or participating in sport activity that will tire you out, leaving little energy for negative behaviour. 

The Moon in the 2nd quarter: This is the time when we want to finish up our projects and feel the satisfaction of doing so. It can be a time of personal development and growth as we begin to understand ourselves a little more. Although with an Aries moon, inner growth is less likely, outer growth, such as the finishing of a work, study or sport subject may go smoothly. 

Moon in the 4th house: Focus may be on the home and private life now. Be aware of upset caused through heated discussions or arguments. Avoid domestic disputes whenever possible. 

Those most likely affected by this months full moon are those with any of the following: 

Moon in Aries: Mars in Aries: Moon in the 4th house: Mars in the 4th house

Negative aspects may produce challenging times, whereas positive aspects may produce windows of opportunity. Aspects are the connections (by degrees) that one planet or point makes to another within the charts.

When the moon is void off course we can be unsure as to how we are really feeling about something or something, it’s therefore advisable to stick to routine tasks at this time. If any legal documents or long-term commitments are in the picture take care to make sure you understand everything that is involved before signing… Delaying important decisions and commitments is highly recommended when the moon is void off course…
