The September 24th Aries Full Moon (1 deg) is going to be a painful one. It conjoins Chiron Rx, so this ending/result will illuminate a sore spot, weakness or area where extra courage is needed.
The Moon will square Saturn conjunct Vesta in Capricorn (Saturn is limits and rules, Vesta is ultimate focus) so your attention will be forcibly drawn to where you’re constrained. The Libra Sun will conjoin Mercury (which will oppose this Moon) so there will also be a sense of limits around what can be said – there may be hard rules about what’s appropriate to discuss. Enforced politeness that will feel uncomfortable, because Aries hates being limited. But the Chiron/Saturn/Vesta square square means there will be a rule/responsibility you cannot avoid, no matter how awkward it feels.
Note that the Sun makes a sharp inconjunct to Uranus Rx in Taurus. It’s not a major aspect but it does suggest a jolt that will unbalance (Libra) you. Not everything about this Moon will go according to plan.
Good News
But there’s also good news. The Sun and Mercury trine Mars, the South Node and Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius. The Moon and Chiron trine the Leo North Node. Harmonious aspects to the Nodes suggest that whatever happens, you can and you will move forward. Mars will power up that final break from the past (especially as he’s making his third and final conjunction to the South Node on September 26th). Black Moon Lilith ensures that this will enable a harmonious integration of truly rebellious, out-there energy: what was cast out can be brought into the center. And aspects to the North Node mean you can transmute the pain, discomfort and courage into something that makes you proud.
The battle won’t be for nothing. The work will amount to something.
The day after this Full Moon, Chiron Rx returns to Pisces. This tells us that the painful culmination will stir up issues from the past (possibly from April 2018). You’ll be revisiting an issue of forgiveness and/or release that hasn’t quite been released. Chiron temporarily out of Aries (until February 2019) will give you some breathing room if you’ve found this new battle to be especially painful.
If you look at the chart at the top of this post you’ll see a blue rectangle. This is called a “Mystic Rectangle” which consists of two sextiles and two trines joining four planets (in this case, two of the points are Nodes). There are two oppositions inside the rectangle. The mix of harmonious and challenging aspects is supposed to be excellent for making constructive things happen (the challenge motivates you while the harmony helps you). So the potential is certainly ripe for taking the pain and turning it into something better (the Nodes are your keys for this).
But of course, it’s always your choice. And I’m not going to pretend that Chiron is a fluffy bunny. Best advice is, focus on that Leo North Node (pride, power, confidence, creativity)- what’s happening there in your chart? That’s your light at the end of this tunnel. The Moon/Chiron conjunction is your motivator, and the Leo North Node is what you’re reaching for. Mars, the South Node and BML are what you’re wrapping up which will propel you towards the North Node.
Go get ‘em.
