As Mercury and Jupiter dance together in our universe, they invite the expansion of our perceptions, the expansion of what we believe is possible for ourselves, and the expansion of what we have decided to accept as our reality in this life. The Full Moon in Aries helps us release what we no longer need before we conclude the cycle that began with the New Moon in March.
It’s the week to launch what’s expired and expand outward. A week of grounding our dreams into reality while letting go of what no longer fits with our sense of self and our way of moving through the world.
Mercury in Virgo trine Jupiter in Taurus
During Mercury’s final days as it travels through Virgo, it connects with Jupiter in Taurus on September 25, 2023. The connection is considered a triangle, a harmonious and harmonious interaction between two planets that find themselves in different signs but share the same element. Whether fire, air, earth or water.
Virgo and Taurus are earth signs. Characteristics they share include being practical, grounded, persistent, and patient. These signs support achieving our dreams by focusing on practical planning and taking actual steps.
Mercury and Jupiter represent different aspects of the mind. While Mercury represents the processing of information and facts within objective reality, Jupiter takes us beyond the rational mind and into a subjective space of higher perception, belief, and wisdom. Jupiter represents expansion and the desire to move beyond the current state toward greater self-actualization.
When these four archetypes come together in our sky—Mercury, Jupiter, Virgo, and Taurus—they do so in cohesion. Together they bring us the invitation to experience a grounded, practical, and rational approach to the higher visions we hold for ourselves. They begin to anchor the dream, faith, and wisdom that Jupiter calls us to in practical planning, wise action, and consistent steps forward.
Full Moon in Aries
The month ends with the fiery full moon in Aries on September 29, 2023. Moon phases It moves in cycles, and just as this Aries full moon is our first full moon of the fall, it is also the completion of what began under the Aries new moon in March, which was our first new moon of the spring.
When the moon begins to release what it no longer needs, we are called to do the same. Aries has clarity about who they are and where they want to jump in, a clarity that is felt in every space inside and perhaps outside their body. Aries is fire, felt instantly and passionately, and their energy doesn’t care about staying in the old. He needs to move. The Aries in us is ready to leap forward and support us in burning what we cannot take with us.
Editing time This is a great time to think about what is ready for you to finish your journey. To notice who you have become since May of this year, the explorations you have made within yourself, and the ways in which you have grown, learned, strengthened and changed. The new moon in March sparked a new chapter for each of us which is now coming to a close. What is being finished inside you?
I invited you
After the equinox shift, we still adhere to the internal and external transition. This week brings the reminder that when you open your hands to the new, you are simultaneously releasing the old.
Jupiter shows you that there is always more room for growth. Meanwhile, Mercury shows that the lens through which you perceive shapes your experience of reality and that the beliefs you hold in your mind influence the way you move through the world. Since they both sit in a grounded, patient, and practical Earth sign, growth can happen in a steady, consistent, and practical way. Potentials now have space to reach your mind and dreams can now reach you. This is a time to evaluate your beliefs and desires and the basic steps you can take to support them.
The invitation, which may not be surprising, is to open our hands, exhale, and allow ourselves to flow with what will become.
