Lunar Lowdown: Embracing the Final Degrees of the Aries Super Moon
November 15 Full Moon in Sidereal Aries: A Deeper Look
Date & Time: November 15, 2024 (1:29 PM PT)
Degree: 29°48' Sidereal Aries
Nakshatra: Krittika (first pada)
Major Aspects: Saturn (full third aspect), Mars and Moon in Parivartana Yoga (exchange of houses)
Special Features: Super Moon
This Full Moon in November arrives as a dramatic Super Moon! It appears larger and brighter in our night sky as this month's Full Moon is extremely close to Earth. Occurring in the final degrees of sidereal Aries, it carries the intensity of completion energy, urging us very directly to resolve and release what no longer serves us before moving forward.
The Moon at 29°48' Aries represents a critical degree point. This critical degree can bring matters to a head and demand a resolution if you haven't one in place already. it is especially powerful as it's amplified by the Super Moon effect, making both our external circumstances and internal emotions feel more intensified than usual due to the exchange of signs between Moon with Mars.
✧ The Mars-Moon Exchange: A Delicate Balance ✧
During this Super Full Moon, we're experiencing a unique planetary exchange between Mars and the Moon. Mars is currently transiting through watery Cancer (the Moon's sign), while the Full Moon blazes through fiery Aries (Mars' sign). This combination creates a planetary exchange (parivartana yoga) - imagine lending your house to a friend while you move into theirs. A cosmic house swap!
However, this isn't just any exchange. Both planets are in challenging positions:
The Moon is at the very last degree of Aries (29°48'), like a marathon runner at the final stretch
Mars is currently navigating through Cancer, where its fiery element must adjust to the emotional, fluid environment
This creates significant emotional reactivity - imagine fire meeting water. Instead of being extinguished, this combination creates steam and intensity! Like a pot of water on high heat, our emotional landscape (Cancer) is being brought to a boiling point by Mars' fiery presence in exchange with the Full Moon.
While Mars typically wants to charge ahead, in Cancer it must learn to navigate by feeling its way forward. This creates a potentially volatile mix of action and emotion, as the usually fiery Martian drive flounders within Cancer's sensitive waters.
✧ The Exhausted Warriors ✧
Think of both Moon and Mars as exhausted planets running the final mile of a full marathon. The Moon, completing its journey through fiery Aries, is culminating at the very last degree. Meanwhile, Mars, our cosmic warrior of action and courage, is slogging its way through the emotional waters of Cancer - far from its natural habitat!
This "exhausted warrior" state of both planets can manifest as:
Feeling both urgently driven yet emotionally drained
A push-pull between taking impulsive action and needing to rest - like an overtired toddler!
Important matters coming to completion, but perhaps not with the energy or oomph we'd prefer
A need to balance our drive for radical or impulsive change with emotional wisdom
✧ Cosmic Counterpoints: Super Moon Meets Saturn's Gaze ✧
The full third aspect from Saturn adds a layer of seriousness and responsibility to this already potent Super Moon. While the Full Moon and Mars want to amplify reactive and emotional responses, Saturn's steady gaze asks us to be methodical and practical in our approach. Saturn supports making mature decisions and taking responsible action, particularly in areas where we need to create better structures or boundaries in our lives.
The Super Moon quality of this lunation intensifies its effects, making it a supportive time for:
Completing important projects or phases in our lives
Making decisive choices about what to release
Setting strong foundations for the next chapter
Taking practical steps toward our goals while honoring our emotional needs
✧ Walking the Cosmic Tightrope: Your Navigation Guide ✧
While all of this mash-up of planetary energies might sound challenging, there's wisdom in this timing. With both Mars and Moon in these sensitive positions, we're being asked to:
Move forward with awareness rather than rushing
Honor both our need for action and our emotional needs
Pay attention to what's naturally completing or concluding
Trust that timing, even when it feels slow, has purpose
The presence of Saturn's steady gaze on this entire configuration helps us navigate this delicate period with wisdom and patience, even when we feel the urge to push ahead forcefully.
Simple rituals to harness this powerful lunar energy:
Light lunar-aligned incense like jasmine or gardenia to set the mood
Take a bath with sea salt and calming essential oils (lavender or chamomile)
Place a glass of water and your crystals under the moonlight for charging
Create a small altar with white flowers, a white candle, and moon-charged water
Spend time journaling about what you're ready to release and complete
Grounding practices for this intense period:
Start your day with 5-7 slow, deep breaths - imagine roots growing from your feet
Keep rose quartz or black tourmaline nearby to help balance the emotional intensity
Take regular breaks to step outside, feel the earth beneath your feet
Practice gentle movement like walking or stretching rather than intense exercise
