The October 5th Aries Full Moon (12 degrees) features a Sun/Mercury conjunction (in Libra). This suggests that a conversation/announcement will be illuminated. Since the Moon is in Aries, we can expect this illumination to be rather pushy. Mercury in Libra aims for agreeableness, but Mars-ruled Aries stirs up conflict.
Sun/Mercury also make a questionable inconjunct to Neptune Rx in Pisces. This could be a lie that someone pushes out into the open. Or, there may be a battle for the truth that ends up being totally misguided – the inconjunct’s disconnect ensures that communication (Mercury) will be unconsciously undermined by something in the blind spot.
On the same day, Mars and Venus (ruler of Libra) will conjoin in Virgo (ruled by Mercury). So there will be an attempt at clarity, as actions unite with desires. In the sign of Virgo, this suggests that any potential inaccuracies can be overcome with precise attention to detail (Virgo).
Normally, Mars/Venus suggests favourable results. However, Mars/Venus will be applying to a square with Saturn. There will be a very narrow range of acceptable behaviour. One truth will be hard and clear, as you’re confronted with the inherent limits of a situation. This could manifest (in a few days’ time) as the rigid consequences of Neptune’s illusion/lies -the square between Venus and Saturn will perfect on October 8th, and Mars/Saturn will perfect on October 11th.
This Moon will expose some interesting information, but you’ll have to pay close attention to the facts. Truth versus lies will be important, and Saturn will insist on a strict code. You may get what you want, but the results will be limiting. Maybe success weighs you down with extra work. Maybe there’s a formal relationship commitment with rigidly defined roles. This doesn’t mean the results will be negative (necessarily), it just means you’ll have to follow the rules/do your duty/work with what you’ve been given.
Because of the Venus/Mars and Libra/Aries themes, relationships of all types will be in the spotlight, with an emphasis on the impact of actions (Mars) within those relationships. This can be any “you versus them” scenario – romantic, platonic, business, etc.
