Full Moon in Aries: The Importance of Aries

The Dragon guards the golden fleece until Madea uses magic to neutralize him.

In the world beyond the cosmic veil of reality, the full moon represents the fruition or completion of the intentions and efforts that are declared at the new moon. In many cultures the full moon represents the act of father sun giving energy to mother moon. While mother moon, in turn, showers that energy to all of the star children upon the earth.

Since the sun entered Libra on September 22, that means the full moon can only be 180º degrees away in Libra’s opposite sign of Aries, the Ram.

In tropical astrology, Aries, the ram is the epitome of fire-sign consciousness. Aries are considered to be enterprising, assertive, opinionated, courageous, impulsive, fun-loving, and idealistic….and that’s just to start. There is a polarization or division between the Archetypal Aries that is stereotypically “Martian” and then there is the gentle lamb that is far less ego-centered but just as headstrong. Aries are natural born leaders that often charge through life speaking their truth and manifesting reality as they ram forward.

Mars: Roman God of War. In Greece he was knows as “Ares.” This is why the Zodiac sign is Aries but its ruling planet is still Mars.

Athena is also known as Minerva Goddess of War, Strategy and Wisdom

Aries is ruled by the planet and the “God of War,” known as Mars. Mars is the god that roman soldiers prayed to on all matters that related to war and conquest. Although Mars has many children, in astrology, Mar’s primary children were named Phobos (Timor) [like Temer to fear] and Deimos [Formido or Metus] also known as fear and terror or dread. So it is easy to see that Mars brought destruction into wars along with fear, dread and terror to help boost the empire’s chances of victory.

The Aries constellation is part of the original 48 constellations identified by Ptolemy and remains one of the current 88 constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union. The Aries constellation is average in size and like all constellations had different names during different times by different cultures. Aries was once known as a farm hand, known as the golden fleece in Greece and known as Amon-Ra in Ancient Ta-Seti and Kemet, the land commonly known as Egypt in the modern world. In Greece, Mars is known as Ares without an I and his female equivalent is the Goddess Athena. The city of Athens, Greece is named after Athena where here statue and temple stand supreme. Known as Minerva among the Romans, This female representative of the Ares continuum is associated with the strategic cerebral approaches to war. This is why Athena is often associated with the intelligence and wisdom of the owl and this goddess is often seen holding NIKE, the goddess of Victory. In Rome, Nike is referred to as “Victoria.” So next time you think of athletic victory, remember Victoria instead of a corporate logo.

In Astrophysics, Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and is one of earth’s next door neighbors. Earth’s other next door neighbor is the goddess Venus Mars’ ultra hot beautiful lover and ruler of Taurus and Libra. Mars takes about 687 earth days to make one trip around the sun. This 23 month year is partially responsible for the apparent retrograde motion of Mars.

Seasons on Mars are about 8 Months long as the Martian year is nearly twice as long as the seasons on earth.

Mars takes 24 hours and 39 minutes to make one turn on its axis. Since Mars has an axial tilt similar to that of the earth, it experiences seasons just like earth. However the seasons are nearly twice as long to match the fact that the Martian year is nearly twice as long.

In Mythology Aries is associated with many stories, all with multiple variations. The most common myth associated with Aries, is the heroic story of Jason and the Argonauts. Our story begins with the hero being denied the throne of Iolcus by his uncle Pelias. Jason’s mother faked a stillborn birth and then shipped the real infant off to be raised and taught with Chiron the Centaur. Like Zeus came home to reclaim the throne of Mount Olympus, Jason returned to reclaim his rightful place Iolcus. His uncle did not want to make things easy for him so he sent him on a quest in the same manner Hercules was sent out to perform the 12 labors. Jason set out to get the golden fleece of the Winged ram that was said to be made of gold to establish his right to the throne of Iolcius. With the teachings of Chiron the wounded healer, and a talented crew of Argonauts, (named after the Argos) Jason met many challenges, retrieved the golden fleece and reclaimed his throne. Jason’s courage, strength and ingenuity exemplifies Aries virtue.

Argonauts include: Chiron, the teacher of heroes, Hercules, Theseus, The male gemini twins Castor and Pollux, the powerful sorceress Madea and many more.

Aries is the first sign on the zodiac ecliptic. Like the Roman Numeral IV card in the Tarot, Aries is the Emperor of the zodiac and it represents many “firsts” as this is the nature of the pioneering Aries spirit. In addition to being the first sign of the zodiac, Aries is the first positive or masculine day sign within the male/female or day/night duality in astrology. Aries is the first cardinal sign of the spiritual elements or qualities. Aries is the first fire sign of action. Since Aries represents the first house of the zodiac, this is considered to be the house of self. So the zodiac sign that is in this first house of a natal chart greatly influences how others perceive your personality. On the opposite side of the zodiac lies Libra in the 7th house. This house is the descendant and it is the house of marriage, partnership and sometimes open enemies. The descendant taken with Venus and Mars, often help good astrologers to determine how harmonious a relationship will be with minimal work. The first and the 7th house are in perfect equilibrium as one determines personal relationships and interactions and one deals with partnerships, friendships and the spirit of cooperation.

Tetrahedron-Sagittarius, Aries and Leo

In the Maya/Aztec Pantheon, Venus has the characteristics that western astrology associates with Mars. Venus is often identified with the Jaguar IX or the Goddess IXCHEL and the spirit form of Quetzalcoatl/Kukulcan

Boris Vallejo – 1987 – Taurus, the Bull

Hexahedron-Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo
Pluto may not be considered a planet in Astrophysics but the lord of the underworld seems to be making his presence known. While Saturnian ruled Capricorn is demanding accountability, the Pluto ruled Scorpion influenced phoenix is trying to shrink debt and bring about reform in a world-wide financial system that is in the intensive Care Unit of corporate accounting. Since there is no earth element in the fall quarter of the Northern Hemisphere, be careful to move slowly and deliberately towards all long term and short-term goals and commitments. After Saturn moves into Scorpio on October 5th, be prepared to have all of your boundaries and limits challenged. Capricorn will be confronted with stubbornly holding on to the past fearing that the release of their fierce kung-fu grip may lead to losing the ground that they have gained. Taurus will completely contract and take baby steps towards success in the name of safety, when really the bull should be wearing cross trainers and guzzling energy drinks on the treadmill. Virgo will be seeking out opportunities to test and apply everything that they have learned in an effort gain a sense of control in their lives while the heavens rain super-sized portions of adversity and change.

The common denominator will be love.

Love under Taurus’ sister sign of Libra will remind the earth sign continuum that while things are rough, tough and sharp, the waters of eternity will always erode the jagged edges of life so that everyone can make their own Zen rock gardens of serenity. Exoteric or Esoteric you are the art cube of cosmic history unifying humanity through shared learning and experiences. So leave yourself open to something new and bypass that which is tried and true.

The epic tale of Jason and the Argonauts can be seen as a homogenized summary of all of the heroic tales of western civilization. These tales echo the lessons of humanity through the patriarchal lens of the plutocratic elite. While such mythology may manifest as institutional oppression and contribute to gender bias and cultural marginalization, it is important to look for the sacred feminine that complements the sacred masculine for the sake of balancing the primal forces that spiritually evolve humanity. The balance of non-gendered masculine and feminine forces are the co-creative building blocks of unity consciousness within the realm of humanity.

The retelling of myths can easily be appropriated and sterilized to reflect the values of the “winner” forgetting that sometimes you have to learn to lose, to become an exceptional winner. Winners or losers everything boils down to choice. The choices made because of the free will given to humanity. All choices, good and bad can always lead to a positive outcome provided that you seek the seeds of wisdom and chose to grow from that knowledge. Jason’s tale connects with Aries not just through the golden fleece, but also through the first of the 12 labors of Hercules. Hercules had to lose the mares that he herded in order to learn. Through the adversity of loss, Hercules gains the depth, insight, re-orientation and humility that losing often produces. Such situations can cause a hero to re-emerge humbled by their experiences with a wider sense of perspective on how to meet any challenge. The Jason, Aries, Hercules and Gilgamesh myths serve as metaphors for the mind, body and spirit outlined in a spark note for humanity. Life, consciousness and trans-dimensional corporeal reality meet in the challenges that these heroes face while they grow towards the light.

The personal experience, acting under the influence of spirit and the soul, the innate “Christ Consciousness” that connects us to the sacred masculine and feminine, help us to identify and carry out the purposes of spirit while we clear a path back to unity consciousness. While Jason represents reclaiming that which was once his, Hercules represents the wisdom gained through all outcomes, both positive and negative. Finally, the epic of Gilgamesh represents the natural tendency of humanity to reach across the nexus of infinity towards apotheosis or eternal love. After all, the common denominator of most religions and spiritualities that build symbiotic rainbow bridges is LOVE, the original Tetragrammaton. The balancing scales of the libra sun and the cosmic download of the Aries moon remind us that all individual and collective choices are made from a place of fear or love. From the Mars myth we know that dread or terror is never far behind fear, but when we chose love there is always hope.

Reclaiming the sacred masculine and feminine, embracing the roles of losing and winning while building symbiotic rainbow bridges of love, hope and unity with your cosmic brothers and sisters, advances us one step further into the Age of Aquarius.
