This October’s Blood Moon will be transiting the powerful sign of Aries. When the moon transits this spirited fire sign it may increase one’s energy and optimism or one’s impatience and impulsivity. Depending on where Aries sits in your birth chart will help in understanding which aspect of your life will be most impacted by the energy of this transit.
If you are an Aries Sun, Moon, Rising or have prominent Aries/Mars placements in your birth-chart then this full moon may increase Aries’ innately impulsive and impatient nature. For others, it may inspire risk taking and motivation towards new or long forgotten goals. One way we can all work with these energies and find balance during this transit is through Aromatherapy.
The aromatherapy oil blend below was crafted with herbs, essential oils and crystals to encourage optimism and trust while instilling focus and patience. The resulting scent is a light, sweet and floral blend.
Essential Oils:
Bergamot is an uplifting, citrusy scent; it is said to increase mental focus and ease anxiety.
Clary Sage is an herb associated with the Moon. Its sweet yet herbaceous scent soothes heightened emotional states and opens the Heart.
Geranium is a beautiful flower which resonates with the sign of Aries; its scent is said to soothe tension and open the Heart.
Scotch Pine is an herb of Aries; its scent is said to inspire mental clarity and grounding.
Herbs:
Honeysuckle is a sweetly scented flower that awakens during the Spring and Summer months. It is a balancing herb for Aries as its energies are said to encourage overcoming the past and adapting to the new.
Crystals:
Carnelian is one of the many balancing stones for Aries. This crystal is said to increase motivation, inspire mental clarity and encourage optimism.
Clear Quartz enhances the energy of other stones and is incredibly cleansing to all chakra points.
Moonstone enhances one’s intuition and soothes emotions.
