Right then, luvs. The October sky is about to get absolutely filthy as the Full Hunter’s Moon struts into Aries wearing nothing but audacity and a smirk. This isn’t your grandmother’s gentle lunar glow—unless your nan was a Viking, in which case, respect. This is celestial foreplay of the aggressive sort, the kind that kicks down doors and asks questions never.
When the moon goes full in Aries, she doesn’t knock. She doesn’t even ring the bell. She just takes.
Flames in the Blood (Amongst Other Places)
Aries doesn’t do subtlety, babe. Wouldn’t recognise it if it bit her arse. This full moon is here to scorch away your hesitation like a particularly enthusiastic Brazilian wax—quick, painful, and leaving you feeling naked and powerful.
You’ll feel restless. Twitchy. Like you’ve had six espressos and someone’s just told you you can’t have what you want. Your skin’s too tight, your blood’s too hot, and your patience has left the building without so much as a goodbye shag. This is not Netflix-and-chill energy. This is rip-the-remote-out-of-their-hand-because-you’re-done-waiting energy.
The delirium whispers (well, screams really): Move. Strike. Claim. Conquer. Make them remember your name.
But here’s the rub—Aries without direction is like a vibrator without batteries. Lot of promise, disappointing delivery. Channel that ram energy properly, or you’ll just be butting your head against walls. Hot, but ultimately ineffective.
The Vine Moon: October’s Cheeky Druid Tree
October belongs to Muin—the Vine, and if that’s not deliciously ironic, I don’t know what is. While Aries is out there being all “me first, me fastest, me hardest,” the Vine’s getting pissed in the corner and giggling about how she got exactly what she wanted by wrapping herself around everything.
The Vine doesn’t charge. She seduces. She winds. She finds every little crack and crevice and insinuates herself until suddenly she’s everywhere and you don’t remember how you got here but Christ, what a ride.
The Vine Moon is about intoxication—the losing of control, the sweetness of surrender, the “I’ll regret this tomorrow but tonight I’m immortal” kind of release. Under this full moon in Aries, you’re caught between the quick thrust and the slow tease.
Be both. Confuse everyone. It’s more fun that way.
Bloodstone: When Your Crystal Has a Safe Word
Meet Bloodstone—deep green jasper absolutely splattered with red spots like evidence of a particularly enthusiastic evening. The ancients carried this bad boy into battle, believing it would stop bleeding and grant courage. Practical *and* aggressive. Rather sexy, if you’re into that sort of thing.
(And let’s be honest, under this moon, you absolutely are.)
Bloodstone marries Aries’ “let’s fight” energy with October’s blood mysteries in a way that’s frankly X-rated. This stone doesn’t mess about.
Work with bloodstone during this lunation to:
- Ground all that explosive ram energy before you do something you’ll have to explain to HR
- Protect your vitality whilst you’re out there being magnificent and terrifying
- Cleanse away the dead weight (and the dead relationships, and the dead dreams)
- Connect to your ancestral “I don’t give a toss what you think” energy
The Delirium Work (Or: How to Channel Your Inner Chaos)
As the moon swells to fullness like… well, let’s not belabour the metaphor, shall we?
Ask yourself:
What battle have I been avoiding because I’m too bloody polite?
What do I need to reclaim that some tosser convinced me wasn’t mine?
Where do I need to charge forward, middle fingers raised, consequences absolutely shagged?
Light a red candle (for passion, power, and dramatic effect). Hold your bloodstone (firmly, but consensually). Feel the vine’s knowing spiral and the ram’s aggressive thrust working together. Now that’s what I call integration, baby.
Write down one brave, possibly inadvisable, definitely necessary action you’ll take before this moon wanes. Make it specific. Make it real. Make it the kind of thing that’ll make your future self say, “Well, fuck me, I actually did it.”
Then do it. Before you chicken out. Before mercury retrograde. Before you remember you’re supposed to be sensible.
Closing the Circle (The Polite Bit)
The Hunter’s Moon rises tonight, and she’s absolutely gagging for it. Remember: you’re the hunter and the hunted, the top and the bottom, the straight path and the spiral. The Vine shows you that power doesn’t have to be rigid. The Bloodstone protects your precious bits whilst you’re out there conquering. And Aries?
Aries gives you permission to finally, finally, stop being so bloody reasonable and just leap.
So leap, darling. Leap like your knickers are on fire and the only way to put them out is forward momentum.
Blessed delirium, you magnificent disasters. May your aim be true and your excuses be few.
Next moon: The dark moon in Scorpio approaches, and trust me, if you thought this was filthy, you haven’t seen anything yet…
