Speaker 1 (00:06):
Hey, there, it's Eben Nathaniel Grimm, and welcome to
the latest episode of AstrologyUnbound.
Today, I'm going to help youmake this the most powerful
Aries full moon possible.
Before I begin, though, be sureto check out my Substack
newsletter for an in-depthbreakdown of my predictions for
the world, my step-by-stepmanifestation guides for each
full moon, intention setting,recommendations for new moons,
(00:27):
educational content and more,and I do have a paid service
through that, where you can alsodive deeper into the
sign-by-sign predictions andhoroscopes, and you actually can
also access a weekly live showon Sunday nights, where I do
live birth chart readings.
So, first of all, apologies fornot doing an episode last
weekend.
The reason is because I wastraveling, but we're going to
(00:49):
make this a great episode andmake up for lost time.
And this is a really, reallymassive full moon, not only
because it's actually a supermoon, so the moon will actually
appear larger in the sky thanusual but also because it is in
the sign of Aries and it iscreating a lot of dynamic
aspects in the sky than usual,but also because it is in the
sign of Aries and it is creatinga lot of dynamic aspects in the
sky that, again, you cancapitalize on and turn into a
(01:12):
really powerful moment.
But there are some challengesalong the way that I will help
you sidestep throughout thisepisode.
So what is a full moon?
Just to establish that, thisoccurs when the sun opposes the
moon in the sky, so at that timethe moon is on the other side
of the earth relative to the sun, and this occurs about two
(01:34):
weeks after a new moon, and alsoit is a climax and culmination
of a new moon that occurred inthe same sign approximately six
months earlier.
We can think of full moons asendings, climaxes, culminations,
epiphanies or even awakenings,and ultimately, the full moon
marks a transition and it is acompletion at the same time.
(01:55):
So every ending is a beginning,you know, and so there's a lot
of complexity to it, but you canthink about this full moon
specifically as the conclusionof some sort of healing-related
theme in your life that you'vebeen navigating since early
April.
So April 8th there was a totalsolar eclipse in Aries, conjunct
(02:17):
Chiron, and now this full moonis again in Aries conjunct
Chiron, but it is a full moon.
So again, we are bringing thatenergy to its height, to its
peak and its conclusion.
So think back to early April and, I would argue, think back even
to mid-February, because inmid-February there was a
Chiron-North Node alignment andthat alignment definitely
(02:41):
pointed you in the direction ofthe healing journey you had to
embark on.
It may have just marked apivotal crossroads in a healing
journey, and when I talk abouthealing journeys here I want to
specify this, because we arelooking at not only the energy
of Chiron, which is a minorplanet that pertains to the
wounded healer, but it's in thesign of Aries, and Aries is our
(03:05):
will, it's our self-assertion,our autonomy, our impulses, our
courage and our strength.
So when Chiron is in Aries, ourstrength is challenged,
potentially Our vitality ischallenged, and sometimes even
our self-image can feel woundedor we may at times, while Chiron
(03:27):
is in Aries, feel as though wecan't maybe fully accept
something about ourselves.
Maybe we've had an insecuritythat has been picked out by
somebody, maybe we've just hadold wounds brought to the
surface from any phase of ourlife that kind of reactivated or
(03:47):
re-triggered some of theseuncertainties about who we are.
Because you also want to thinkabout Aries as not only our
strength but, in a lot of ways,our individual identity, because
you can think about Aries ashaving some connection to the
first house of the birth chartof the zodiac wheel, and that
first house has a lot to do withour individual being being
(04:12):
birthed and born into thismaterial reality, so this is not
necessarily a foreign theme.
So Chiron has been in Ariessince 2018.
It first entered the sign ofAries on April 17th of 2018,
went retrograde back into Piscesa few times, but eventually it
(04:33):
was in Aries full-time, startingFebruary 18th 2019.
And interesting again becausearound that time of February
2024, we had the Chiron NorthNode alignment.
Because around that time ofFebruary 2024, we had the Chiron
North Node alignment andhopefully in February, there was
a sort of revelation about atleast what you needed to heal.
(04:54):
And even though that revelationmay have coincided with a
difficult conversation, maybeeven like a moment that made you
feel you know alone or lost, orit made you feel like you know
someone was trying to put youdown, at the very least there
was some sort of awakening thathappened at that time where
(05:17):
maybe either you realized youhad to walk away from someone
who was creating this toxicity,or you had to look into yourself
in a different way, reflect andmeditate on the source of maybe
insecurities that you have,that you've harbored that have
really spilled over into arelationship or that have
prevented intimacy, and for somepeople this could even be, this
(05:42):
could have sort of kick-starteda healing journey in the
physical sense.
You know, physical health mayhave suddenly become a theme or
a topic for you, which would bevery common right now, because
Saturn and Neptune are in Piscesand that has a lot to do with,
you know, really perfecting ourhealth and taking a really good
(06:03):
hard look at our tendencies, ourhabits, and making sure that
we're keeping that temple clean,so to speak, the temple that is
our body, because Pisces hasassociations with toxicity,
addictions, escapist habits andso on.
But on this area's full moon,for some of you you could
(06:26):
finally round out this journeyin the sense that maybe you will
feel like you've healed.
You know you've healed thatwound, whether it is
psychological or physical.
So also on Full Moons, by theway, to continue on this track
of you know the sort ofunderlying themes and meanings
of any full moon we do haveheightened intuition, we do have
(06:48):
the ability to recognizepatterns, and this is because
when the moon is full, it reallyis tugging at our emotions and
our emotions become moresensitive.
We become more sensitive,essentially, and we start to,
sometimes we start to feeloverwhelmed about something, a
situation in our lives, but thisincreased sensitivity really
(07:11):
gives us an extra layer ofdetail about something.
So, again, maybe there's aconvoluted aspect of your life
right now.
You've been trying to untanglesomething for a while and
finally it clicks for you.
Or maybe there's an actualmoment, something manifests in
your life where someone sayssomething or does something, or
you do something that finallyclarifies what's really been
(07:36):
going on.
And so what I recommend is, onany full moon, really follow
your intuition, follow the signs.
Now, I talked about this in avideo a couple days ago and I
did say that you know you shouldreally avoid trying to manifest
something, essentially becausethis full moon is in Aries and
Mars is opposing Pluto, whichI'll talk about in a second.
(08:07):
It does feel very impulsive andusually I recommend that, even
if someone is not trying tomanifest a particular thing on a
full moon, they could stilltake inspired action.
So, again, relying on theirpresent tense intuition, their
instincts, and actingaccordingly.
But at this time, during thisfull moon, you might actually be
(08:29):
led astray by either yourdesires, your competitiveness,
and there is a way, I thinkaround all of this, though.
So the answer is notnecessarily to try and manifest
a specific thing.
I still think that that wouldbe a little bit risky.
A little bit risky, but I dothink there's a way to sidestep
some of those energies so thatyou still find power in magic,
(08:52):
and so I'll explain sort of thenuance there, because I
understand that it may soundcontradictory, but what I'm
really just saying is that youshouldn't necessarily expect to
manifest again a particularthing sort of ahead of time,
where you can plan it and, youknow, see it come to fruition
immediately.
(09:12):
What you should instead do isfocus on some of the hidden
patterns and messages that maycome up and rely on a little bit
of luck, a little bit of magic,like I said, and a little bit
of divine intervention actuallyto show you the way at the right
(09:34):
moment, which I will talk aboutin a bit.
So let's dive into the sign ofAries as well.
So remember, this full moon isin the sign of Aries.
Some of the key conceptsassociated with the sign include
beginnings, self-assertion,competition, autonomy,
boundaries, aggression, impulseand courage.
So with these concepts, youknow, sort of always connected
(09:59):
to Aries, the full moon willilluminate and accent and
underscore these concepts.
So, on this full moon again,you may feel more competitive
than usual, you may feel moreindependent, you may feel more
impulsive, but also you may stepup and, you know, act
courageously.
And so it doesn't have to benegative.
(10:20):
But if we look into thedefining characteristics and
aspects of the full moon, you'llsee why there are some risks
associated with this full moon.
And it's number one becausethere's a cardinal grand cross.
And the grand cross is twooppositions in the same modality
(10:42):
that create a cross and then asquare around that cross.
So you could have a grand crossin fixed signs, for example, or
mutable signs, but in this caseit's in cardinal signs.
So we have the sun and moon andChiron opposing each other from
Aries to Libra, and then wehave Mars and Cancer opposing
Pluto in Capricorn and Cancer.
(11:04):
And all of these oppositions,or both of these oppositions,
are occurring in the third decanof the cardinal signs, the
third decan meaning the finalthird subdivision of the zodiac
of each sign there.
So the third decan is 21 to 29degrees of a zodiac sign and we
have the 21st to 29th degreesort of covered in this cardinal
(11:29):
grand cross.
So we have planets ranging fromChiron at 21 Aries to Pluto at
29 Capricorn, this dynamictension, especially because we
are discussing the cardinalmodality, which is very dynamic.
(11:50):
It is all about assertion,beginnings leading with sort of
an executive, action-orientedmindset, but this is creating an
intense gridlock where it is afour-way stop sign and nobody
really has the right of way andreally everyone is trying and
especially in this case everyoneis trying to signal that they
want to be the first car to moveforward.
(12:11):
Like this is a fairlyaggressive full moon, and so
there is a feeling,energetically when we talk about
a grand cross, of stagnation,coagulation and obstruction,
regulation and obstruction.
So you may witness that themein various ways.
You may see someone getpromoted at your office instead
of you and wonder why was it notme?
(12:33):
And just sort of like, sit withthat energy.
You may sit with that energyfor longer than you expect.
Or maybe you, you know, suddenlyfeel as though there's someone
in your life who is putting up awall, someone in your family, a
friend or a partner.
Suddenly they're telling youthat they want things to be a
certain way, they want a certainoutcome and they're unrelenting
(12:57):
about it.
They're not willing to cede anyterritory they're not willing
to change.
That definitely is part of theenergy of this full moon.
So a lot of things and peoplemay present a blockade for you.
Some of these things are notexternalized, by the way, so it
might not be that someone getspromoted instead of you.
It could be that you just findyourself getting caught up in
(13:18):
competitive feelings orfrustrating feelings, without
necessarily knowing why.
So, again, why does this personhave X, y, z and I don't?
Or why is this person delayingthe project?
Or you may start to ask thesequestions that are kind of
irksome and maybe you don't evenask those types of questions
usually and suddenly you feel asthough there is a severe delay
(13:45):
towards getting what you want.
And so what happens here, whenwe talk about a full moon in
Aries, is that that frustrationcan really bubble up and again
lead to that impulsivity, leadto that boiling point, and
that's why, again, I reallycaution people on this full moon
, and this is the first timeI've really taken a stance like
this in this calendar yearregarding a lunation cycle.
(14:06):
I actually don't think thatpeople should be aiming to
manifest a particular thing onthis full moon.
I do think, again just toreiterate this that there is a
very nuanced way to follow theintuition, but it actually
requires you to get away fromthis grand cross, but you still
have to acknowledge that it'sthere in order to sidestep it in
(14:29):
the first place.
So for those in the world whoare not self-investigating, or
they don't really followastrology, they don't care about
energy or they don't you knowbelieve that full moons cause
emotional changes, they willprobably get caught up in this
gridlock, they will feelstagnant.
(14:50):
But you know, if you'relistening to the episode or if
you you know, study, divinationor you are just a generally
reflective person, I think thereis a really strong opportunity
for you to actually understand,squeeze some value out of this
full moon and actually find thatyou're in a better position
afterwards or you feel morepowerful.
(15:13):
Because that's ideally whatAries wants.
It wants to feel moreself-directed, it wants to feel
stronger, it wants to feel morecourageous, it wants to feel
that sense of resilience and theassuredness that its own
individual will overcomeanything, any odds, to a point
where you don't feelself-conscious about anyone
else's opinion, anyone else'sdirectives.
(15:35):
You feel as though your compassis leading you down the right
path.
So that's ideally where we wantto end up, but because it's
conjunct Chiron and Aries Ithink a lot of wounds will
surface in the collective.
So a lot of and actually Chironand Aries has a lot to do with
the wounded masculine, so thewounded masculine archetype.
(15:59):
You may see that coming up inthe news a lot.
So, to continue though,regarding the aspects, remember
that Mars rules Aries, so thereis an Aries full moon annually,
and so the fact that we have anAries full moon in of itself,
you know, will only say so much.
So we have to add detail bylooking at this grand cross
which I just talked about, butalso looking at the planet that
(16:21):
rules Aries and seeing where itis, because that will definitely
characterize where the powercan be activated, but also where
the frustration may be mounting.
In this case, mars is in Cancer, which is in a fallen position
for Mars, in a pre-shadow phase,before the retrograde in early
(16:42):
December and opposing Pluto,which, by the way, it will
oppose Pluto for three and ahalf months and then again in
April.
So it's almost like a six-monthopposition, and that is not a
very helpful position for Mars.
Mars is not really giving us alot to work with here.
It's a very frustrating Marsplacement.
(17:02):
Now, if you have Mars and Cancerin your birth chart, you know,
don't see this as, see this asnecessarily a debilitating thing
.
I mean, you can learn how towork with Mars and Cancer to be
both caring but also protectiveof those whom you care about.
But if we're just looking atthe transits and the motions of
the planets, the collectivewould rather not have Mars in a
(17:27):
fallen position, especiallybefore retrograde.
So Mars, which is our sense ofaction, again, assertion our
power, it does feel like it'sbeing siphoned away, it's
atrophying.
So if you find yourselfexhausted right now to a greater
degree than usual, even thoughwe're building up the energy,
building up to a full moon, giveyourself some grace.
(17:50):
It's not unnatural to feel likeyou just don't have the mojo
that you usually have.
But opposing Pluto, I do see howthere could be this again,
feeling of an intractableconflict or an oppositional
force in your life.
That's unrelenting.
So just be aware of that andalso do not adopt a vengeful
(18:15):
mindset.
Because Mars opposite Pluto,you know, it can be a good thing
, like if it's in a natal chart.
It could show that someone iswilling to stand up for the
underdog or, you know, amarginalized group of people,
but it can also show thatsomeone refuses to lose, that
they are almost like a soreloser and they won't give up
until they get what they want.
So if you enter into that sortof wrestling match, just know
(18:42):
that any sort of negative energyor oppositional energy that you
project out onto somebody willprobably be returned two or
threefold or more than that.
So Mars and Pluto can getpeople into traps.
It can suck people into trapswhen they lead with that sort of
aggressive mindset.
So just based on that, rememberto avoid any kind of dynamics
(19:09):
in your life that are sort ofbeing toxified by revenge or
vengeful feelings.
Definitely don't contribute tothe obstinance, but also find
something that you arerelentlessly going to pursue for
the next few months, somethingthat hopefully is just
transformative for you orsomething that drives
transformation in the society.
(19:30):
We also have Venus opposingUranus, which is creative and
community-centric though.
So Venus opposing Uranus iskind of exciting.
It can give someone more of acreative outlet.
It can give people an outlet ingroup settings like to
collaborate, maybe, with people.
It can also help someone investin technology or technological
(19:53):
equipment differently in orderto make more interesting content
maybe or, you know, to enhancesomething they're doing, like
today, I was setting up mystudio to do the 2025 forecast
videos that you know are goingto launch soon my studio to do
the 2025 forecast videos thatyou know are going to launch
soon and it just dawned on mewhile we were setting up that
maybe I should have an ipad.
(20:14):
You know, maybe it'd be easierfor me to navigate all the
variables and the grids and thecharts with a, with an ipad,
which I've never consideredbefore.
Actually I've always been moreof like a laptop, I've our phone
smartphone kind of guy and Isaw ipads as this awkward middle
ground that I didn'tnecessarily need and all of a
sudden I'm like maybe it doesserve a purpose.
(20:34):
That's kind of a Venus-Uranusopposition energy.
It's also quite social.
So again, you may find yourselfwanting to go to a group
gathering or a community eventor a presentation or something,
but mixed in with all the otherenergy I've mentioned.
You also want to make sure thatwhen you go to these things,
(20:56):
you are cooperative.
You are a cooperative, positiveforce in those groups and
ideally, with the Aries fullmoon, maybe you are even helping
that group find their voice andfind their power.
Other things to mention.
Pluto is now direct, meaning itwill be marching ahead in
Capricorn all the way up tillNovember 19th and hopefully this
(21:21):
is actually some momentum forthe cardinal signs.
I think some of the cardinalsigns have been getting momentum
since Pluto station direct onthe 11th of October and cardinal
signs you should start to feellike you are getting out of the
muck of Pluto's sort of you knowand Pluto's not all bad, by the
(21:41):
way, but like it can reallysteep us in this sort of
subconscious muck where you knowfears from a long time ago come
up or you know reallychallenging memories come up or
we are facing our own demons,we're facing our shadows.
But now that it's direct, it'slike we're able to externalize
our transformation journey andfeel as though we can focus on
(22:04):
the future.
Jupiter is also retrograde herenow.
So as Pluto moves forward,jupiter moves backwards now and
Jupiter retrograde in Gemini ishelping us actually connect some
dots, whether it's through newsor information we may have been
relayed in the past.
It's also helping us adjust ourperspective and it's showing us
that there's a lot we stilldon't know.
(22:25):
There's a lot that we stillhave to mesh together, either
through the news or throughinformation we've gathered, and
so you are piecing together apuzzle likely, you know, in your
life, and especially whilePluto's direct, you're going
deeper into some of theinformation maybe, and realizing
that maybe there was somethinghidden in your life or something
(22:46):
hidden in society.
So, yep, definitely verypowerful sort of juxtaposition
when we're talking aboutespecially the United States,
with the election coming up in afew weeks.
You know, I think there's a lotmore revelatory information
that will come up.
Now we also have two planets atthe aneretic degree on this full
(23:07):
moon.
That would be Venus and Pluto,which means that they're forming
a sextile.
So Pluto is at 29 Cap, venus at29 Scorpio.
So the Pluto-Venus sextile canbe financially beneficial.
It can help you suddenlyrealize a new strategy with
investing or investments WithVenus opposite Uranus, though as
(23:28):
well new strategy withinvesting or investments With
Venus opposite Uranus, though,as well.
I wonder if there are someshakeups in the economy or in
the markets, which I'll talkabout in a bit, but I think in
your own life it can show someupsides in the investing sort of
world.
And also the 29th degree.
We're either squeezing out allthe value that we can still in
(23:50):
that zodiac sign, but also itcan cause that planet to kind of
unravel the energy of that sign.
It can kind of feel as thoughit's imploding and it's just
been sort of exhausted thatenergy.
So with Pluto-Capricorn that'sa much bigger phenomenon than
Venus at 29 Scorpio becausePluto has a much longer orbit.
(24:11):
But Pluto at the 29th degreedirect is also feeding the
transformation of institutions,governments, society.
The 29th group Scorpio may puta fine point on something
(24:31):
economic but also may show maybesome shady business dealings at
the top.
But it also may show us how weneed to transform through others
, through groups and throughcommunities.
So this feels like a full moonwhere someone in your life,
whether it's in a communitysetting or in a relationship,
could really change your wholeperspective towards empowerment,
towards this sort of Aries-likecourage.
(24:53):
But also you may find ordiscover something about
yourself through someone elseand that discovery could really
promote healing actually.
So you could have some reallytransformative healing sessions
or moments with somebody duringthis time.
(25:13):
Mars is also squaring Chiron.
I want to mention that Marssquare Chiron.
It will actually square Chironoff and on for many, many months
all the way into April.
And Mars and Cancer squareChiron in Aries does kind of
amplify some of the possibletension you could experience
with someone, especially in yourhome or family.
(25:33):
But Squaring Chiron and Aries,it feels like that energy feels
like someone is like kind ofpicking at insecurities in
either you or someone that youlove and then suddenly you're
wanting to like defend orprotect that person or yourself.
So it feels a little defensiveand it feels also like people
(25:54):
could kind of become inflamed byvery small things, actually
like very small, minuscule, youknow, matters that usually you
could brush off suddenly aregetting under your skin.
So this is again why I hesitateto tell you to manifest anything
in particular on this full moon, because because, keep in mind,
there are no planets and firesigns right now.
(26:15):
So this full moon is going tocome out of nowhere, like, as
I'm doing, this podcast moons inPisces.
You know that's a pretty docile, a little bit softer, somber
type of moon and, um, when itgoes into Aries it's like wow,
where did this come from?
It feels like there's suddenlythis influx of fiery, aggressive
(26:38):
energy that we can't fullycontain.
So don't try to, you know, putall the finishing touches on
this tiny little dollhouse andthen suddenly, you know, the
hammer comes in, like that's theenergy of the Aries full moon
here, and I think you're betteroff finding what I call the
fifth way, which I'm going totalk about in a second.
(27:01):
The full moon is also conjunctChiron.
So remember that is reallybringing up connotations around,
or not connotations, it'sbringing up just themes around
self-love, self-acceptance,self-image.
And, again, this is thecompletion, ideally, of a
healing journey that began inearly April.
Or maybe there's somethingyou've been holding off since
(27:22):
early April that suddenly comesback and if you haven't been
working, because there's maybesome people listening who
haven't been working, becauseyou know there's maybe some
people listening who haven'tbeen working on their healing
journey at all because they'vebeen busy or whatever it is,
this could be a healing journeythat you've avoided.
That suddenly is like rearingits head and being like, okay,
you have to address this.
So it could either be thecompletion or realization of a
(27:46):
healing journey.
So now let's talk about thefifth way.
And what is the fifth way?
What do I mean by that?
So this is a concept that justcame to my mind as I was
studying this full moon andmeditating on it.
So when you look at the fullmoon chart here, remember we
(28:06):
have the four-way stop sign, wehave the cardinal grand cross,
where nobody really has theright of way and it's easy to
get stuck in that.
And so rather than dealing withthese oppositions between Aries
and Libra and Cancer andCapricorn, rather than trying to
figure out which way is bestBecause again you will find
(28:30):
yourself in these criticaljunctures where there are equal
pros and cons to eitherdirection Rather than trying to
like do all the five-dimensionalchess with that and like trying
to solve you know, it feelslike rocket science really I
mean it kind of is to try tosolve this gridlock.
So rather than trying to, youtrying to brainstorm a way
(28:51):
through that, I think you cantranscend it, because if you
think about the number four,we're talking about like a box,
a square.
It's a container, it's a home,it's a foundation, but it's also
a limitation inside that box.
Think about astrology fourelements we have fire, air,
(29:11):
earth, water.
There is a fifth element inclassical Greek studies and that
is the ether, that sort ofpermeable, pervasive energy
beyond our material plane.
But also think about the numberfive.
That number in numerology, yes,can deal with change, but in my
(29:36):
conception of the number five,especially from an astrological
lens, has a lot to do withcreativity.
What is the fifth sign, leo?
Fifth house, a creative house.
What happens after the numberfour?
You break out of the box.
(29:56):
But how do you break out of thebox?
That is four.
You get creative.
What happens in astrology, oreven in geometry, when you
divide the 360 degree wheel byfive?
You get the quintile aspect,the fifth harmonic.
The fifth harmonic is, you know, in astrology, the quintile is
our unique creative gifts.
What happens when Venus formsits inferior conjunctions with
(30:17):
the sun across its eight-yearcycle?
It forms a five-pointed star.
And Venus is a planetassociated with creativity.
And even if you think about thehuman form, you know we think
about the five-pointed star inthe context of the human form,
the human being, a creativevehicle or creative conduit for
(30:40):
the divine.
So why am I talking about thefifth way so much?
Or why am I talking about thenumber five?
We have to harness the energyof the five here in order to
escape this cardinal grand cross, this gridlock.
So the fifth way specificallymeans that we are transcending
(31:02):
the duality of these oppositions, of these oppositional forces.
We are not saying that the fourelements are useless, but we
are saying that there issomething beyond.
That is alchemical, really.
We are not thinking aboutthings as purely a bifurcation.
We are mixing, because we haveall four elements here in this
(31:27):
grand cross.
Right, we are mixing these fourelements together, we are
tapping into the ether, we aretapping into what makes us
soulful, we are findingsomething that not inflames us
but inspires us at a soul level.
So how do you find that?
Fifth way Well, number one, byrejecting polarization in your
(31:49):
life.
Reject the energy ofpolarization over the next few
days.
Polarization is what thisCardinal Grand Cross wants.
But if you feed into that, youwill get caught up in it and
then you will definitely not bein a position to manifest.
So avoid the oppositionalforces rather than contributing
(32:09):
to them.
Don't play someone else's gameas well.
Also, be careful aboutcompetitiveness.
Don't direct yourcompetitiveness in the wrong
areas.
Remember that someone else'ssuccess is not your failure.
So if you find that somebody is, you know, touting their
(32:31):
accomplishments, especially ifthey're in the same field as you
, don't take the bait and getbitter and say something,
because then definitely you willblock the manifestation journey
, because Chiron and Ariesremember, encompasses this idea
of self-love, self-acceptance,and through that vehicle we can
(32:53):
achieve self-actualization in alot of ways, and as we accept
and nurture ourselves and loveourselves, we don't feed into
petty competitiveness.
We become our own competitionand we try to become one of one,
meaning that there is only oneperson like us and I talked
about this in a live show on myInstagram back in April actually
(33:13):
and so this full moon can helpyou revisit those themes of
becoming one of one.
So what makes you unique?
What makes you so unique thatnobody else can mirror that or
mimic that?
Because we all have our ownenergetic thumbprint, as shown
(33:34):
in our birth chart, our pastlives, our ancestry and so on
birth chart, our past lives, ourancestry and so on.
So really tap into that andfind that Don't try to oppose
someone and mirror their energyor mirror their anger or mirror
their aggression.
Really harness your ownbrilliant, brilliant identity.
(33:59):
Really harness that uniqueenergy and lead by example and
become an inspiration for others, and then, as you again try to
out-compete yourself, you willreach that summit or that peak
and accomplish something againthat reinforces this idea that
you are unique.
(34:20):
Also, pay attention to thenumber five.
Recognize fives.
Recognize fives in you knowwhether it's on the clock or
it's other numerical sequences,or if it's in geometric sort of
like again five pointed stars orsomething, but like you may see
fives in some form over thenext few days.
(34:42):
If you see those fives, Ibelieve intuitively that you are
on the right path.
You're getting a signal thathey, like I'm heading the right
way, I'm finding the creativeway around this grand cross.
Also connect with the fifthelement, which is the ether.
You know, really, really reallyharness that, your spiritual
sort of like.
(35:03):
Allow spirituality to be yourguide right now.
And I think that with Venus, theplanet of creativity again, and
associating with the fifthharmonic, with Venus opposing
Uranus, community is maybe whereyou find these sort of genius
solutions.
Or maybe you lead a community,or maybe you just tap into a
(35:26):
creativity you didn't know youhad.
Venus opposite Uranus is highlycreative.
Or maybe you find some kind ofreally unexpected financial
strategy.
I mean to bring Pluto back intothe sextile there.
But like overall, I do thinkthat this is kind of an
eccentric magical energy that'shiding in this chart.
Like anytime I see a clientwith a grand cross in their
(35:49):
chart, I'm not.
I will help them try to resolvethe oppositions and the squares
, but eventually the conclusionleads me to say that they should
be sort of an alchemist, theyshould be non-dualistic, they
should be combining theseelements in a different way.
They shouldn't have to play thegame of the Grand Cross, they
(36:11):
shouldn't necessarily have toalways try to contend with these
oppositions and these squares.
I do think there's a way torise above the opposites, the
contradictions, because, again,even though in astrology,
squares and oppositions, we wantto work with them, obviously we
want to empower ourselvesthrough them.
We also, in the case of theGrand Cross, don't want to get
(36:35):
locked up in it, especially ifit's just in the transit, so
we're not familiar with it inour own birth chart.
So, again, tap into thecreativity, tap into your
creative side.
Maybe find other people whothink outside the box which is
kind of a Uranian thing, by theway and you will, I think,
(36:58):
obviate and get around thatgridlock and still tap into the
Aries, full moon, and it's likeyou will not be depleted, you
will be again empowered andelectrified by this and you will
again out-compete others thatway, because if other people are
getting stuck in thosepolarized energies then really I
(37:21):
just see them being again sortof exhausted at this time.
So find what really makes youpassionate at that spiritual
level and you're going to haveto get creative to find it.
So, politically, globally, whatare my predictions here?
I think there is going to besome political upheaval.
There's a lot of world leaderswho have the later degrees of
(37:42):
the cardinal signs in theirchart.
I mean really just name theleader and they're pretty much
like they fit that description.
I could see how certain worldleaders will make power moves at
this time, while others willrecede from the spotlight.
I think we may see someeconomic news, although I don't
(38:05):
really believe that the economicnews will be earth shattering.
I think that it could be like afirst domino to fall towards an
eventual economic disruption,maybe into next year or
something like that, becauseeventually the North and South
node will reach a conjunctionwith the Saturn-Uranus
opposition that occurred duringthe Great Recession, but that's
(38:25):
not happening until next year.
I do see escalating tensions inthe Middle East, but also
between Ukraine and Russia,maybe even like North Korea,
china, taiwan.
There's actually a lot ofmoving parts there which I'm not
going to unpack in this podcast, but let's just say that this
is kicking off the Mars-Uranusor the Mars-Chiron square, which
(38:47):
again will continue andperpetuate all the way into next
spring.
So again, it could be more of afirst domino effect, and I
can't stress this enough.
I mean, I think this week willdefine the presidential election
in the US.
I think that this week will bethe week that determines the
(39:08):
outcome of the election.
For paid subscribers, youalready have access to my
political, my presidentialprediction who I think will win
the election.
I still feel that theprediction is, you know, on
track.
I think it's accurate.
(39:31):
But, yeah, if you want to, youknow, really dive into that,
which I'm just choosing not to,by the way, publish it on my
main channels because you know,I think, well, number one, I did
a lot of research to come tothe prediction.
But also, I don't really wantto contribute to the
polarization, even though I amobjective and as objective as I
can be.
Whenever I make predictions, um,for whatever reason, like,
(39:52):
sometimes, like people who viewthose types of content, that
type of content believe that youknow the astrologer is
inserting, or the psychic isinserting, their own bias into
it.
And you know, honestly, when Imake political predictions, my
only goal is accuracy.
I don't really, um and I and Idon't buy into polarization
anyway.
So I'm not really the type ofperson who, um, you know, I'm
(40:14):
not trying to feed a certainoutcome through my prediction.
I think that's kind of nonsense, right, like, really, all I'm
trying to do is be a messenger.
So, anyways, you know, in termsof the horoscopes, again,
there's not necessarily aspecific thing that I think each
rising sign should bemanifesting.
However, there are areas oflife that you may see, you know,
(40:37):
your emotions rising, you maysee certain themes arising for
you, but just for this podcast,just know that, again, it's
really about recognizing theGrand Cross, witnessing it in
your reality and then choosingnot to engage with it, choosing
the fifth way instead.
So, thank you so much fortuning into Astrology Unbound.
(40:58):
I am Evan Nathaniel Grimm and Ihope you really really find
your passion and your sense ofdirection on this Aries full
moon.
So, thank you so much and takecare.
Hey, there, it's Eben Nathaniel Grimm, and welcome to
the latest episode of AstrologyUnbound.
Today, I'm going to help youmake this the most powerful
Aries full moon possible.
Before I begin, though, be sureto check out my Substack
newsletter for an in-depthbreakdown of my predictions for
the world, my step-by-stepmanifestation guides for each
full moon, intention setting,recommendations for new moons,
(00:27):
educational content and more,and I do have a paid service
through that, where you can alsodive deeper into the
sign-by-sign predictions andhoroscopes, and you actually can
also access a weekly live showon Sunday nights, where I do
live birth chart readings.
So, first of all, apologies fornot doing an episode last
weekend.
The reason is because I wastraveling, but we're going to
(00:49):
make this a great episode andmake up for lost time.
And this is a really, reallymassive full moon, not only
because it's actually a supermoon, so the moon will actually
appear larger in the sky thanusual but also because it is in
the sign of Aries and it iscreating a lot of dynamic
aspects in the sky than usual,but also because it is in the
sign of Aries and it is creatinga lot of dynamic aspects in the
sky that, again, you cancapitalize on and turn into a
(01:12):
really powerful moment.
But there are some challengesalong the way that I will help
you sidestep throughout thisepisode.
So what is a full moon?
Just to establish that, thisoccurs when the sun opposes the
moon in the sky, so at that timethe moon is on the other side
of the earth relative to the sun, and this occurs about two
(01:34):
weeks after a new moon, and alsoit is a climax and culmination
of a new moon that occurred inthe same sign approximately six
months earlier.
We can think of full moons asendings, climaxes, culminations,
epiphanies or even awakenings,and ultimately, the full moon
marks a transition and it is acompletion at the same time.
(01:55):
So every ending is a beginning,you know, and so there's a lot
of complexity to it, but you canthink about this full moon
specifically as the conclusionof some sort of healing-related
theme in your life that you'vebeen navigating since early
April.
So April 8th there was a totalsolar eclipse in Aries, conjunct
(02:17):
Chiron, and now this full moonis again in Aries conjunct
Chiron, but it is a full moon.
So again, we are bringing thatenergy to its height, to its
peak and its conclusion.
So think back to early April and, I would argue, think back even
to mid-February, because inmid-February there was a
Chiron-North Node alignment andthat alignment definitely
(02:41):
pointed you in the direction ofthe healing journey you had to
embark on.
It may have just marked apivotal crossroads in a healing
journey, and when I talk abouthealing journeys here I want to
specify this, because we arelooking at not only the energy
of Chiron, which is a minorplanet that pertains to the
wounded healer, but it's in thesign of Aries, and Aries is our
(03:05):
will, it's our self-assertion,our autonomy, our impulses, our
courage and our strength.
So when Chiron is in Aries, ourstrength is challenged,
potentially Our vitality ischallenged, and sometimes even
our self-image can feel woundedor we may at times, while Chiron
(03:27):
is in Aries, feel as though wecan't maybe fully accept
something about ourselves.
Maybe we've had an insecuritythat has been picked out by
somebody, maybe we've just hadold wounds brought to the
surface from any phase of ourlife that kind of reactivated or
(03:47):
re-triggered some of theseuncertainties about who we are.
Because you also want to thinkabout Aries as not only our
strength but, in a lot of ways,our individual identity, because
you can think about Aries ashaving some connection to the
first house of the birth chartof the zodiac wheel, and that
first house has a lot to do withour individual being being
(04:12):
birthed and born into thismaterial reality, so this is not
necessarily a foreign theme.
So Chiron has been in Ariessince 2018.
It first entered the sign ofAries on April 17th of 2018,
went retrograde back into Piscesa few times, but eventually it
(04:33):
was in Aries full-time, startingFebruary 18th 2019.
And interesting again becausearound that time of February
2024, we had the Chiron NorthNode alignment.
Because around that time ofFebruary 2024, we had the Chiron
North Node alignment andhopefully in February, there was
a sort of revelation about atleast what you needed to heal.
(04:54):
And even though that revelationmay have coincided with a
difficult conversation, maybeeven like a moment that made you
feel you know alone or lost, orit made you feel like you know
someone was trying to put youdown, at the very least there
was some sort of awakening thathappened at that time where
(05:17):
maybe either you realized youhad to walk away from someone
who was creating this toxicity,or you had to look into yourself
in a different way, reflect andmeditate on the source of maybe
insecurities that you have,that you've harbored that have
really spilled over into arelationship or that have
prevented intimacy, and for somepeople this could even be, this
(05:42):
could have sort of kick-starteda healing journey in the
physical sense.
You know, physical health mayhave suddenly become a theme or
a topic for you, which would bevery common right now, because
Saturn and Neptune are in Piscesand that has a lot to do with,
you know, really perfecting ourhealth and taking a really good
(06:03):
hard look at our tendencies, ourhabits, and making sure that
we're keeping that temple clean,so to speak, the temple that is
our body, because Pisces hasassociations with toxicity,
addictions, escapist habits andso on.
But on this area's full moon,for some of you you could
(06:26):
finally round out this journeyin the sense that maybe you will
feel like you've healed.
You know you've healed thatwound, whether it is
psychological or physical.
So also on Full Moons, by theway, to continue on this track
of you know the sort ofunderlying themes and meanings
of any full moon we do haveheightened intuition, we do have
(06:48):
the ability to recognizepatterns, and this is because
when the moon is full, it reallyis tugging at our emotions and
our emotions become moresensitive.
We become more sensitive,essentially, and we start to,
sometimes we start to feeloverwhelmed about something, a
situation in our lives, but thisincreased sensitivity really
(07:11):
gives us an extra layer ofdetail about something.
So, again, maybe there's aconvoluted aspect of your life
right now.
You've been trying to untanglesomething for a while and
finally it clicks for you.
Or maybe there's an actualmoment, something manifests in
your life where someone sayssomething or does something, or
you do something that finallyclarifies what's really been
(07:36):
going on.
And so what I recommend is, onany full moon, really follow
your intuition, follow the signs.
Now, I talked about this in avideo a couple days ago and I
did say that you know you shouldreally avoid trying to manifest
something, essentially becausethis full moon is in Aries and
Mars is opposing Pluto, whichI'll talk about in a second.
(08:07):
It does feel very impulsive andusually I recommend that, even
if someone is not trying tomanifest a particular thing on a
full moon, they could stilltake inspired action.
So, again, relying on theirpresent tense intuition, their
instincts, and actingaccordingly.
But at this time, during thisfull moon, you might actually be
(08:29):
led astray by either yourdesires, your competitiveness,
and there is a way, I thinkaround all of this, though.
So the answer is notnecessarily to try and manifest
a specific thing.
I still think that that wouldbe a little bit risky.
A little bit risky, but I dothink there's a way to sidestep
some of those energies so thatyou still find power in magic,
(08:52):
and so I'll explain sort of thenuance there, because I
understand that it may soundcontradictory, but what I'm
really just saying is that youshouldn't necessarily expect to
manifest again a particularthing sort of ahead of time,
where you can plan it and, youknow, see it come to fruition
immediately.
(09:12):
What you should instead do isfocus on some of the hidden
patterns and messages that maycome up and rely on a little bit
of luck, a little bit of magic,like I said, and a little bit
of divine intervention actuallyto show you the way at the right
(09:34):
moment, which I will talk aboutin a bit.
So let's dive into the sign ofAries as well.
So remember, this full moon isin the sign of Aries.
Some of the key conceptsassociated with the sign include
beginnings, self-assertion,competition, autonomy,
boundaries, aggression, impulseand courage.
So with these concepts, youknow, sort of always connected
(09:59):
to Aries, the full moon willilluminate and accent and
underscore these concepts.
So, on this full moon again,you may feel more competitive
than usual, you may feel moreindependent, you may feel more
impulsive, but also you may stepup and, you know, act
courageously.
And so it doesn't have to benegative.
(10:20):
But if we look into thedefining characteristics and
aspects of the full moon, you'llsee why there are some risks
associated with this full moon.
And it's number one becausethere's a cardinal grand cross.
And the grand cross is twooppositions in the same modality
(10:42):
that create a cross and then asquare around that cross.
So you could have a grand crossin fixed signs, for example, or
mutable signs, but in this caseit's in cardinal signs.
So we have the sun and moon andChiron opposing each other from
Aries to Libra, and then wehave Mars and Cancer opposing
Pluto in Capricorn and Cancer.
(11:04):
And all of these oppositions,or both of these oppositions,
are occurring in the third decanof the cardinal signs, the
third decan meaning the finalthird subdivision of the zodiac
of each sign there.
So the third decan is 21 to 29degrees of a zodiac sign and we
have the 21st to 29th degreesort of covered in this cardinal
(11:29):
grand cross.
So we have planets ranging fromChiron at 21 Aries to Pluto at
29 Capricorn, this dynamictension, especially because we
are discussing the cardinalmodality, which is very dynamic.
(11:50):
It is all about assertion,beginnings leading with sort of
an executive, action-orientedmindset, but this is creating an
intense gridlock where it is afour-way stop sign and nobody
really has the right of way andreally everyone is trying and
especially in this case everyoneis trying to signal that they
want to be the first car to moveforward.
(12:11):
Like this is a fairlyaggressive full moon, and so
there is a feeling,energetically when we talk about
a grand cross, of stagnation,coagulation and obstruction,
regulation and obstruction.
So you may witness that themein various ways.
You may see someone getpromoted at your office instead
of you and wonder why was it notme?
(12:33):
And just sort of like, sit withthat energy.
You may sit with that energyfor longer than you expect.
Or maybe you, you know, suddenlyfeel as though there's someone
in your life who is putting up awall, someone in your family, a
friend or a partner.
Suddenly they're telling youthat they want things to be a
certain way, they want a certainoutcome and they're unrelenting
(12:57):
about it.
They're not willing to cede anyterritory they're not willing
to change.
That definitely is part of theenergy of this full moon.
So a lot of things and peoplemay present a blockade for you.
Some of these things are notexternalized, by the way, so it
might not be that someone getspromoted instead of you.
It could be that you just findyourself getting caught up in
(13:18):
competitive feelings orfrustrating feelings, without
necessarily knowing why.
So, again, why does this personhave X, y, z and I don't?
Or why is this person delayingthe project?
Or you may start to ask thesequestions that are kind of
irksome and maybe you don't evenask those types of questions
usually and suddenly you feel asthough there is a severe delay
(13:45):
towards getting what you want.
And so what happens here, whenwe talk about a full moon in
Aries, is that that frustrationcan really bubble up and again
lead to that impulsivity, leadto that boiling point, and
that's why, again, I reallycaution people on this full moon
, and this is the first timeI've really taken a stance like
this in this calendar yearregarding a lunation cycle.
(14:06):
I actually don't think thatpeople should be aiming to
manifest a particular thing onthis full moon.
I do think, again just toreiterate this that there is a
very nuanced way to follow theintuition, but it actually
requires you to get away fromthis grand cross, but you still
have to acknowledge that it'sthere in order to sidestep it in
(14:29):
the first place.
So for those in the world whoare not self-investigating, or
they don't really followastrology, they don't care about
energy or they don't you knowbelieve that full moons cause
emotional changes, they willprobably get caught up in this
gridlock, they will feelstagnant.
(14:50):
But you know, if you'relistening to the episode or if
you you know, study, divinationor you are just a generally
reflective person, I think thereis a really strong opportunity
for you to actually understand,squeeze some value out of this
full moon and actually find thatyou're in a better position
afterwards or you feel morepowerful.
(15:13):
Because that's ideally whatAries wants.
It wants to feel moreself-directed, it wants to feel
stronger, it wants to feel morecourageous, it wants to feel
that sense of resilience and theassuredness that its own
individual will overcomeanything, any odds, to a point
where you don't feelself-conscious about anyone
else's opinion, anyone else'sdirectives.
(15:35):
You feel as though your compassis leading you down the right
path.
So that's ideally where we wantto end up, but because it's
conjunct Chiron and Aries Ithink a lot of wounds will
surface in the collective.
So a lot of and actually Chironand Aries has a lot to do with
the wounded masculine, so thewounded masculine archetype.
(15:59):
You may see that coming up inthe news a lot.
So, to continue though,regarding the aspects, remember
that Mars rules Aries, so thereis an Aries full moon annually,
and so the fact that we have anAries full moon in of itself,
you know, will only say so much.
So we have to add detail bylooking at this grand cross
which I just talked about, butalso looking at the planet that
(16:21):
rules Aries and seeing where itis, because that will definitely
characterize where the powercan be activated, but also where
the frustration may be mounting.
In this case, mars is in Cancer, which is in a fallen position
for Mars, in a pre-shadow phase,before the retrograde in early
(16:42):
December and opposing Pluto,which, by the way, it will
oppose Pluto for three and ahalf months and then again in
April.
So it's almost like a six-monthopposition, and that is not a
very helpful position for Mars.
Mars is not really giving us alot to work with here.
It's a very frustrating Marsplacement.
(17:02):
Now, if you have Mars and Cancerin your birth chart, you know,
don't see this as, see this asnecessarily a debilitating thing
.
I mean, you can learn how towork with Mars and Cancer to be
both caring but also protectiveof those whom you care about.
But if we're just looking atthe transits and the motions of
the planets, the collectivewould rather not have Mars in a
(17:27):
fallen position, especiallybefore retrograde.
So Mars, which is our sense ofaction, again, assertion our
power, it does feel like it'sbeing siphoned away, it's
atrophying.
So if you find yourselfexhausted right now to a greater
degree than usual, even thoughwe're building up the energy,
building up to a full moon, giveyourself some grace.
(17:50):
It's not unnatural to feel likeyou just don't have the mojo
that you usually have.
But opposing Pluto, I do see howthere could be this again,
feeling of an intractableconflict or an oppositional
force in your life.
That's unrelenting.
So just be aware of that andalso do not adopt a vengeful
(18:15):
mindset.
Because Mars opposite Pluto,you know, it can be a good thing
, like if it's in a natal chart.
It could show that someone iswilling to stand up for the
underdog or, you know, amarginalized group of people,
but it can also show thatsomeone refuses to lose, that
they are almost like a soreloser and they won't give up
until they get what they want.
So if you enter into that sortof wrestling match, just know
(18:42):
that any sort of negative energyor oppositional energy that you
project out onto somebody willprobably be returned two or
threefold or more than that.
So Mars and Pluto can getpeople into traps.
It can suck people into trapswhen they lead with that sort of
aggressive mindset.
So just based on that, rememberto avoid any kind of dynamics
(19:09):
in your life that are sort ofbeing toxified by revenge or
vengeful feelings.
Definitely don't contribute tothe obstinance, but also find
something that you arerelentlessly going to pursue for
the next few months, somethingthat hopefully is just
transformative for you orsomething that drives
transformation in the society.
(19:30):
We also have Venus opposingUranus, which is creative and
community-centric though.
So Venus opposing Uranus iskind of exciting.
It can give someone more of acreative outlet.
It can give people an outlet ingroup settings like to
collaborate, maybe, with people.
It can also help someone investin technology or technological
(19:53):
equipment differently in orderto make more interesting content
maybe or, you know, to enhancesomething they're doing, like
today, I was setting up mystudio to do the 2025 forecast
videos that you know are goingto launch soon my studio to do
the 2025 forecast videos thatyou know are going to launch
soon and it just dawned on mewhile we were setting up that
maybe I should have an ipad.
(20:14):
You know, maybe it'd be easierfor me to navigate all the
variables and the grids and thecharts with a, with an ipad,
which I've never consideredbefore.
Actually I've always been moreof like a laptop, I've our phone
smartphone kind of guy and Isaw ipads as this awkward middle
ground that I didn'tnecessarily need and all of a
sudden I'm like maybe it doesserve a purpose.
(20:34):
That's kind of a Venus-Uranusopposition energy.
It's also quite social.
So again, you may find yourselfwanting to go to a group
gathering or a community eventor a presentation or something,
but mixed in with all the otherenergy I've mentioned.
You also want to make sure thatwhen you go to these things,
(20:56):
you are cooperative.
You are a cooperative, positiveforce in those groups and
ideally, with the Aries fullmoon, maybe you are even helping
that group find their voice andfind their power.
Other things to mention.
Pluto is now direct, meaning itwill be marching ahead in
Capricorn all the way up tillNovember 19th and hopefully this
(21:21):
is actually some momentum forthe cardinal signs.
I think some of the cardinalsigns have been getting momentum
since Pluto station direct onthe 11th of October and cardinal
signs you should start to feellike you are getting out of the
muck of Pluto's sort of you knowand Pluto's not all bad, by the
(21:41):
way, but like it can reallysteep us in this sort of
subconscious muck where you knowfears from a long time ago come
up or you know reallychallenging memories come up or
we are facing our own demons,we're facing our shadows.
But now that it's direct, it'slike we're able to externalize
our transformation journey andfeel as though we can focus on
(22:04):
the future.
Jupiter is also retrograde herenow.
So as Pluto moves forward,jupiter moves backwards now and
Jupiter retrograde in Gemini ishelping us actually connect some
dots, whether it's through newsor information we may have been
relayed in the past.
It's also helping us adjust ourperspective and it's showing us
that there's a lot we stilldon't know.
(22:25):
There's a lot that we stillhave to mesh together, either
through the news or throughinformation we've gathered, and
so you are piecing together apuzzle likely, you know, in your
life, and especially whilePluto's direct, you're going
deeper into some of theinformation maybe, and realizing
that maybe there was somethinghidden in your life or something
(22:46):
hidden in society.
So, yep, definitely verypowerful sort of juxtaposition
when we're talking aboutespecially the United States,
with the election coming up in afew weeks.
You know, I think there's a lotmore revelatory information
that will come up.
Now we also have two planets atthe aneretic degree on this full
(23:07):
moon.
That would be Venus and Pluto,which means that they're forming
a sextile.
So Pluto is at 29 Cap, venus at29 Scorpio.
So the Pluto-Venus sextile canbe financially beneficial.
It can help you suddenlyrealize a new strategy with
investing or investments WithVenus opposite Uranus, though as
(23:28):
well new strategy withinvesting or investments With
Venus opposite Uranus, though,as well.
I wonder if there are someshakeups in the economy or in
the markets, which I'll talkabout in a bit, but I think in
your own life it can show someupsides in the investing sort of
world.
And also the 29th degree.
We're either squeezing out allthe value that we can still in
(23:50):
that zodiac sign, but also itcan cause that planet to kind of
unravel the energy of that sign.
It can kind of feel as thoughit's imploding and it's just
been sort of exhausted thatenergy.
So with Pluto-Capricorn that'sa much bigger phenomenon than
Venus at 29 Scorpio becausePluto has a much longer orbit.
(24:11):
But Pluto at the 29th degreedirect is also feeding the
transformation of institutions,governments, society.
The 29th group Scorpio may puta fine point on something
(24:31):
economic but also may show maybesome shady business dealings at
the top.
But it also may show us how weneed to transform through others
, through groups and throughcommunities.
So this feels like a full moonwhere someone in your life,
whether it's in a communitysetting or in a relationship,
could really change your wholeperspective towards empowerment,
towards this sort of Aries-likecourage.
(24:53):
But also you may find ordiscover something about
yourself through someone elseand that discovery could really
promote healing actually.
So you could have some reallytransformative healing sessions
or moments with somebody duringthis time.
(25:13):
Mars is also squaring Chiron.
I want to mention that Marssquare Chiron.
It will actually square Chironoff and on for many, many months
all the way into April.
And Mars and Cancer squareChiron in Aries does kind of
amplify some of the possibletension you could experience
with someone, especially in yourhome or family.
(25:33):
But Squaring Chiron and Aries,it feels like that energy feels
like someone is like kind ofpicking at insecurities in
either you or someone that youlove and then suddenly you're
wanting to like defend orprotect that person or yourself.
So it feels a little defensiveand it feels also like people
(25:54):
could kind of become inflamed byvery small things, actually
like very small, minuscule, youknow, matters that usually you
could brush off suddenly aregetting under your skin.
So this is again why I hesitateto tell you to manifest anything
in particular on this full moon, because because, keep in mind,
there are no planets and firesigns right now.
(26:15):
So this full moon is going tocome out of nowhere, like, as
I'm doing, this podcast moons inPisces.
You know that's a pretty docile, a little bit softer, somber
type of moon and, um, when itgoes into Aries it's like wow,
where did this come from?
It feels like there's suddenlythis influx of fiery, aggressive
(26:38):
energy that we can't fullycontain.
So don't try to, you know, putall the finishing touches on
this tiny little dollhouse andthen suddenly, you know, the
hammer comes in, like that's theenergy of the Aries full moon
here, and I think you're betteroff finding what I call the
fifth way, which I'm going totalk about in a second.
(27:01):
The full moon is also conjunctChiron.
So remember that is reallybringing up connotations around,
or not connotations, it'sbringing up just themes around
self-love, self-acceptance,self-image.
And, again, this is thecompletion, ideally, of a
healing journey that began inearly April.
Or maybe there's somethingyou've been holding off since
(27:22):
early April that suddenly comesback and if you haven't been
working, because there's maybesome people listening who
haven't been working, becauseyou know there's maybe some
people listening who haven'tbeen working on their healing
journey at all because they'vebeen busy or whatever it is,
this could be a healing journeythat you've avoided.
That suddenly is like rearingits head and being like, okay,
you have to address this.
So it could either be thecompletion or realization of a
(27:46):
healing journey.
So now let's talk about thefifth way.
And what is the fifth way?
What do I mean by that?
So this is a concept that justcame to my mind as I was
studying this full moon andmeditating on it.
So when you look at the fullmoon chart here, remember we
(28:06):
have the four-way stop sign, wehave the cardinal grand cross,
where nobody really has theright of way and it's easy to
get stuck in that.
And so rather than dealing withthese oppositions between Aries
and Libra and Cancer andCapricorn, rather than trying to
figure out which way is bestBecause again you will find
(28:30):
yourself in these criticaljunctures where there are equal
pros and cons to eitherdirection Rather than trying to
like do all the five-dimensionalchess with that and like trying
to solve you know, it feelslike rocket science really I
mean it kind of is to try tosolve this gridlock.
So rather than trying to, youtrying to brainstorm a way
(28:51):
through that, I think you cantranscend it, because if you
think about the number four,we're talking about like a box,
a square.
It's a container, it's a home,it's a foundation, but it's also
a limitation inside that box.
Think about astrology fourelements we have fire, air,
(29:11):
earth, water.
There is a fifth element inclassical Greek studies and that
is the ether, that sort ofpermeable, pervasive energy
beyond our material plane.
But also think about the numberfive.
That number in numerology, yes,can deal with change, but in my
(29:36):
conception of the number five,especially from an astrological
lens, has a lot to do withcreativity.
What is the fifth sign, leo?
Fifth house, a creative house.
What happens after the numberfour?
You break out of the box.
(29:56):
But how do you break out of thebox?
That is four.
You get creative.
What happens in astrology, oreven in geometry, when you
divide the 360 degree wheel byfive?
You get the quintile aspect,the fifth harmonic.
The fifth harmonic is, you know, in astrology, the quintile is
our unique creative gifts.
What happens when Venus formsits inferior conjunctions with
(30:17):
the sun across its eight-yearcycle?
It forms a five-pointed star.
And Venus is a planetassociated with creativity.
And even if you think about thehuman form, you know we think
about the five-pointed star inthe context of the human form,
the human being, a creativevehicle or creative conduit for
(30:40):
the divine.
So why am I talking about thefifth way so much?
Or why am I talking about thenumber five?
We have to harness the energyof the five here in order to
escape this cardinal grand cross, this gridlock.
So the fifth way specificallymeans that we are transcending
(31:02):
the duality of these oppositions, of these oppositional forces.
We are not saying that the fourelements are useless, but we
are saying that there issomething beyond.
That is alchemical, really.
We are not thinking aboutthings as purely a bifurcation.
We are mixing, because we haveall four elements here in this
(31:27):
grand cross.
Right, we are mixing these fourelements together, we are
tapping into the ether, we aretapping into what makes us
soulful, we are findingsomething that not inflames us
but inspires us at a soul level.
So how do you find that?
Fifth way Well, number one, byrejecting polarization in your
(31:49):
life.
Reject the energy ofpolarization over the next few
days.
Polarization is what thisCardinal Grand Cross wants.
But if you feed into that, youwill get caught up in it and
then you will definitely not bein a position to manifest.
So avoid the oppositionalforces rather than contributing
(32:09):
to them.
Don't play someone else's gameas well.
Also, be careful aboutcompetitiveness.
Don't direct yourcompetitiveness in the wrong
areas.
Remember that someone else'ssuccess is not your failure.
So if you find that somebody is, you know, touting their
(32:31):
accomplishments, especially ifthey're in the same field as you
, don't take the bait and getbitter and say something,
because then definitely you willblock the manifestation journey
, because Chiron and Ariesremember, encompasses this idea
of self-love, self-acceptance,and through that vehicle we can
(32:53):
achieve self-actualization in alot of ways, and as we accept
and nurture ourselves and loveourselves, we don't feed into
petty competitiveness.
We become our own competitionand we try to become one of one,
meaning that there is only oneperson like us and I talked
about this in a live show on myInstagram back in April actually
(33:13):
and so this full moon can helpyou revisit those themes of
becoming one of one.
So what makes you unique?
What makes you so unique thatnobody else can mirror that or
mimic that?
Because we all have our ownenergetic thumbprint, as shown
(33:34):
in our birth chart, our pastlives, our ancestry and so on
birth chart, our past lives, ourancestry and so on.
So really tap into that andfind that Don't try to oppose
someone and mirror their energyor mirror their anger or mirror
their aggression.
Really harness your ownbrilliant, brilliant identity.
(33:59):
Really harness that uniqueenergy and lead by example and
become an inspiration for others, and then, as you again try to
out-compete yourself, you willreach that summit or that peak
and accomplish something againthat reinforces this idea that
you are unique.
(34:20):
Also, pay attention to thenumber five.
Recognize fives.
Recognize fives in you knowwhether it's on the clock or
it's other numerical sequences,or if it's in geometric sort of
like again five pointed stars orsomething, but like you may see
fives in some form over thenext few days.
(34:42):
If you see those fives, Ibelieve intuitively that you are
on the right path.
You're getting a signal thathey, like I'm heading the right
way, I'm finding the creativeway around this grand cross.
Also connect with the fifthelement, which is the ether.
You know, really, really reallyharness that, your spiritual
sort of like.
(35:03):
Allow spirituality to be yourguide right now.
And I think that with Venus, theplanet of creativity again, and
associating with the fifthharmonic, with Venus opposing
Uranus, community is maybe whereyou find these sort of genius
solutions.
Or maybe you lead a community,or maybe you just tap into a
(35:26):
creativity you didn't know youhad.
Venus opposite Uranus is highlycreative.
Or maybe you find some kind ofreally unexpected financial
strategy.
I mean to bring Pluto back intothe sextile there.
But like overall, I do thinkthat this is kind of an
eccentric magical energy that'shiding in this chart.
Like anytime I see a clientwith a grand cross in their
(35:49):
chart, I'm not.
I will help them try to resolvethe oppositions and the squares
, but eventually the conclusionleads me to say that they should
be sort of an alchemist, theyshould be non-dualistic, they
should be combining theseelements in a different way.
They shouldn't have to play thegame of the Grand Cross, they
(36:11):
shouldn't necessarily have toalways try to contend with these
oppositions and these squares.
I do think there's a way torise above the opposites, the
contradictions, because, again,even though in astrology,
squares and oppositions, we wantto work with them, obviously we
want to empower ourselvesthrough them.
We also, in the case of theGrand Cross, don't want to get
(36:35):
locked up in it, especially ifit's just in the transit, so
we're not familiar with it inour own birth chart.
So, again, tap into thecreativity, tap into your
creative side.
Maybe find other people whothink outside the box which is
kind of a Uranian thing, by theway and you will, I think,
(36:58):
obviate and get around thatgridlock and still tap into the
Aries, full moon, and it's likeyou will not be depleted, you
will be again empowered andelectrified by this and you will
again out-compete others thatway, because if other people are
getting stuck in thosepolarized energies then really I
(37:21):
just see them being again sortof exhausted at this time.
So find what really makes youpassionate at that spiritual
level and you're going to haveto get creative to find it.
So, politically, globally, whatare my predictions here?
I think there is going to besome political upheaval.
There's a lot of world leaderswho have the later degrees of
(37:42):
the cardinal signs in theirchart.
I mean really just name theleader and they're pretty much
like they fit that description.
I could see how certain worldleaders will make power moves at
this time, while others willrecede from the spotlight.
I think we may see someeconomic news, although I don't
(38:05):
really believe that the economicnews will be earth shattering.
I think that it could be like afirst domino to fall towards an
eventual economic disruption,maybe into next year or
something like that, becauseeventually the North and South
node will reach a conjunctionwith the Saturn-Uranus
opposition that occurred duringthe Great Recession, but that's
(38:25):
not happening until next year.
I do see escalating tensions inthe Middle East, but also
between Ukraine and Russia,maybe even like North Korea,
china, taiwan.
There's actually a lot ofmoving parts there which I'm not
going to unpack in this podcast, but let's just say that this
is kicking off the Mars-Uranusor the Mars-Chiron square, which
(38:47):
again will continue andperpetuate all the way into next
spring.
So again, it could be more of afirst domino effect, and I
can't stress this enough.
I mean, I think this week willdefine the presidential election
in the US.
I think that this week will bethe week that determines the
(39:08):
outcome of the election.
For paid subscribers, youalready have access to my
political, my presidentialprediction who I think will win
the election.
I still feel that theprediction is, you know, on
track.
I think it's accurate.
(39:31):
But, yeah, if you want to, youknow, really dive into that,
which I'm just choosing not to,by the way, publish it on my
main channels because you know,I think, well, number one, I did
a lot of research to come tothe prediction.
But also, I don't really wantto contribute to the
polarization, even though I amobjective and as objective as I
can be.
Whenever I make predictions, um,for whatever reason, like,
(39:52):
sometimes, like people who viewthose types of content, that
type of content believe that youknow the astrologer is
inserting, or the psychic isinserting, their own bias into
it.
And you know, honestly, when Imake political predictions, my
only goal is accuracy.
I don't really, um and I and Idon't buy into polarization
anyway.
So I'm not really the type ofperson who, um, you know, I'm
(40:14):
not trying to feed a certainoutcome through my prediction.
I think that's kind of nonsense, right, like, really, all I'm
trying to do is be a messenger.
So, anyways, you know, in termsof the horoscopes, again,
there's not necessarily aspecific thing that I think each
rising sign should bemanifesting.
However, there are areas oflife that you may see, you know,
(40:37):
your emotions rising, you maysee certain themes arising for
you, but just for this podcast,just know that, again, it's
really about recognizing theGrand Cross, witnessing it in
your reality and then choosingnot to engage with it, choosing
the fifth way instead.
So, thank you so much fortuning into Astrology Unbound.
(40:58):
I am Evan Nathaniel Grimm and Ihope you really really find
your passion and your sense ofdirection on this Aries full
moon.
So, thank you so much and takecare.
