STRINGS OF APOLLO
ASTROLOGY

This year’s Aries Full Moon is on October 6 (CST) at 14 Aries and is powerfully supported by its ruler, Mars, deeply at home in the still waters of Scorpio. This is the first lunation since the Sun entered the symbolic dark half of the year at the September equinox. So what can we expect with a very strong Aries Full Moon hosted by Mars in its domicile of Scorpio, and Mercury in the first degree of Scorpio squaring Pluto?

The last half of September is a dense period of shifting signs and strong aspects punctuated by a new moon solar eclipse at the final degree of Summer/Winter — a time when the Light is balancing, teetering for a few days, then pulls us like a sail across the waters.

There are some powerful transits between the Virgo New Moon on August 23 and the Pisces Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse on September 7 2025. But I want to talk about something a little more subtle, but has powerful potential to aid in the healing, ending, purging, and letting go energies of the upcoming lunar eclipse. So, this isn’t going to be a typical eclipse delineation or forecast.
