Mercury’s latest retrograde, from Sept. 9-Oct. 2, slowed down communications to help us think, process, and communicate better, while Pluto’s retrograde, from April 29 to Oct. 8, made us more cognizant of our triggers and shadow side, i.e., how we may still be reacting to past traumas that are no longer relevant. Now, with Mercury and Pluto direct, we’re clearer communicators with a better handle on our obsessive, self-destructive tendencies.
This Aries Full Moon, known as the Hunter’s Moon, aligns with asteroid Chiron, known as “the wounded healer.” The Full Moon’s conjunction with Chiron may make us more aware of our deepest fears and insecurities, helping us release that which undermines our hopes, dreams, and ideals.
