My sincere apologies for glitches these last few posts.
I hopefully have worked out the kinks and am back to written posts in summary form for ease of use.
I’ve heard your feedback – Thank you for your patience.
We are in it. Have you felt the power struggles? This Full Moon in Aries painted a giant X in the sky, with the Sun in Libra opposite the Moon, along with Chiron in Aries. Then we have Mars in Cancer opposing Pluto in Capricorn. Right here, right now, you get to decide how you’ll use your power consciously going forward.
There are as many ways to use power as there are people. As babies, we first learn about ‘power over’ when adults are in control, and we have little say in our lives. That’s the vertical line in the X. Someone with more power is one up on you. As we grow and socialize, we learn about ‘power with’ others. This peer-to-peer exchange forms the horizontal line. It’s more of an at will relationship as we learn to share who decides what and when. So, time for a check up on where you practice ‘power over,’ and where do you choose ‘power with’ others.
It’s such a big question—how can one post do it justice? Both dynamics have roles to play and meet certain needs. Let me offer one insight that could be part of the layers you explore: What’s your relationship with being right? There’s an old saying: “You can be right, or you can be in a relationship. Pick one.” By its nature, being right often puts you in a one-up position over someone else. The moment you step into that space, you distance yourself from others. It’s the hidden gotcha in that vertical axis of power.
Now, that may be exactly what you want. There are times when it might be important. My question is, do you know when you’re doing it, or is it a default position? How safe do you feel when you’re not sure if you’re right? Think about that for a minute. When you don’t have clearly defined high ground, do you still feel secure engaging with what’s in front of you?
Aries is the youngest sign of the Zodiac. It represents fresh eyes, innocence. This Full Moon with Chiron offers us a chance to revisit old wounds from a bigger, hopefully wiser, perspective. Pluto in Capricorn opposite Mars in Cancer helps us dig deeper into those foundational beliefs. The Sun in Libra reminds us that relationships are where we learn about ourselves and others. Love is the glue that holds us together as we face things our minds might not choose to tolerate. Our needs similarly work that way, binding us to what we believe we need to receive something in return. Wants, needs, and the power dynamic crossroads all meet up in this SuperMoon cycle.
Now, back to being right. There’s real freedom when we discover and understand unconscious motivations. It stops feeling like someone else is pulling the strings. Or, if you do feel pulled, you’ll know what’s tying you up and can consciously release it. Oh do tell me you can you feel the space and creative joy that brings? It helps, especially since getting unstuck can be a bit of an awkward journey.
With that in mind, I drew four cards for Mind/Body/Heart/Spirit, rather than day-to-day. Too many people feel overwhelmed, so this approach offers quick support in specific areas to apply in your daily life.
MIND: THE TEN OF WANDS
Tens always signify empowerment, and it’s fitting that the Aries SuperMoon urges us to elevate our thinking and relationship with power. The fiery Ten reminds us that intellect often seeks control, relying on certainty—this is “power over.” However, true growth requires us to go beyond logic and embrace the unpredictable, where “power with” emerges. By working with the unknown, rather than controlling it, we unlock new potential. Love, for instance, defies logic yet fuels extraordinary feats. Until we embrace the impossible, we remain bound by what we know.
Where can you believe the impossible about yourself? What daring dreams have you held back? Aries energy encourages bold steps, but watch for impatience or perfectionism—signs of “power over” that limit you to familiar, smaller spaces. Dust off those childhood dreams; even if they don’t fit who you are now, they contain seeds of what you’re meant to bring into the world. Nurture these seeds, allowing them to grow in ways you couldn’t control or predict. The fire of Aries asks you to work with these dreams, not force them, trusting that the path—though unpredictable—leads to profound transformation. The beyond awaits your cooperation, not your command.
BODY: EIGHT OF CUPS
The tide of the Aries SuperMoon teaches us how to release what no longer serves us by guiding us away from “power over” and toward “power with.” Just as the Eight of Cups symbolizes emotional release, this process helps us let go of pain, one wave at a time. You can’t rush the tide, and emotions follow their own rhythm. Acknowledging your feelings as they come, rather than suppressing or controlling them, allows you to work with them. This is the essence of “power with.”
Logic often attempts to dominate emotions, but feelings don’t obey facts. Research shows it’s not the details but how we feel about them that sways us. The tide is turning away from overthinking and towards emotional flow. Trying to control your inner world—using “power over”—only leads to frustration. Instead, why not invite yourself to explore new ways of thinking and feeling? Tempt or dare yourself into trying something new. Aries energy loves a challenge, but it’s important to avoid the trap of trying to control the outcome. Playfully persuade yourself to move towards thoughts that feel better, and trust that the tides will carry you where you need to go. As you release pain, you create space for a fresh wave of positive energy, aligning your body with the flow of life.
HEART: TEN OF CUPS
With the second Ten in this Lunar cycle, the Aries SuperMoon marks a pivotal moment of power transformation. The Ten of Cups symbolizes fulfillment, but true satisfaction comes from understanding how to use “power with” in relationships rather than falling into “power over.” The dynamic of “power over” often creates conflict, especially in intimate partnerships. A therapist once told me that over 50% of couples struggle with power dynamics within the first years of marriage.
This crossroads in the sky reminds us that knowledge is power, especially when we understand our own strength and how to collaborate with others. When we stop trying to control our emotions or our partners and instead work with them—using “power with”—we see the rewards reflected back in our relationships. The Aries SuperMoon pushes us to resolve the inner power struggles over what we believe we can or cannot do. This internal harmony mirrors in our outer world. You don’t need to project these battles onto your partner—work within yourself to unlock the power of partnership and shared growth. This is the foundation of true fulfillment and lasting happiness.
SPIRIT: THREE OF PENTACLES
Under the light of the Aries SuperMoon, what we say and act upon becomes the blueprint of our lives. The Three of Pentacles teaches us to be aware of how we use our words and actions—are we employing “power over” or “power with” in our daily lives? Positive thinking and ‘fake it till you make it’ are common ways to assert “power over” our reality, but what if we approached it differently? Use this Lunar cycle to uncover unconscious beliefs, working with them instead of trying to control them.
Pay close attention to what you say and how often you say it—these words may reveal areas where you’ve been unknowingly exercising “power over” yourself, trying to force outcomes. Instead, approach it as an exploration, a way to collaborate with your inner beliefs, harnessing “power with.” Like glitches in the Matrix, your words can unlock hidden aspects of your mind, showing you where you’re out of alignment with your true power. The Aries energy invites you to be bold and adventurous in this process. Where are your words signaling a need for change, especially around how you perceive your own power? Open those doors and let in the light of awareness, using your words to collaborate with, rather than dominate, your reality. Here’s to a grand adventure of growth and discovery under this powerful Moon.
Thank you again for your patience and your feedback. These posts are for you, so when you let me know what works and what doesn’t it helps tremendously.
This way the Cards, the Stars and me can offer support.Wishing you well, always!
