Aries Full Moon (14 deg, 11:47 pm EDT)Mercury enters Scorpio (12:40 pm EDT)Mercury quincunx Neptune Rx in Aries (0 deg)This Full Moon can bring anger, impulse, passion or initiative to a boil. In Mars-ruled Aries, this is definitely a volatile Moon. Actions can peak or you could be compelled to finally act.Opposing the Libra Sun, we see a situation that's at the far end of a spectrum. Assertiveness challenges keeping things nice and polite. If you've been repressing in an effort to people-please there could be an explosion that swings the balance in the other direction.Mars in Scorpio adds a dark edge to the above. What erupts will come from deep below. Hidden reservoirs of strength. Don't be surprised if matters feel extreme because on some level there's a survival urge or primal push to win (at all costs).The Scorpio vibe is enhanced by Mercury's ingress. You may experience some profound insights that go along with the Full Moon's illumination. Buried info is not always comfortable, so be prepared to discuss or learn about shadow or taboo issues. These will be a crucial part of understanding motivations and looking closely at what's driving volatile feelings. Don't be afraid to get brutally honest (with yourself and others). Mercury's quincunx to Neptune Rx adds a sliver of confusion as deep truths prove to be incompatible with the fresh belief or dream. You might be tempted to blur those truths or avoid them altogether, but what you shy away from is exactly what you need to focus on.In general, Mercury in Scorpio is the research, truth-teller and psychological exploration transit. You dare to discuss what no one wants to hear. You dare to look at what's horrific, upsetting, forbidden, heavy. This can also trigger the most intimate and rewarding conversations, if both people are prepared to go there.Note that Mercury exits Scorpio for Sagittarius on Oct 29th but will return to Scorpio (due to Rx) on Nov 18th.
