Something Nubian

There’s a reason they call it the Hunter’s Moon — it hunts down what’s been hiding beneath our calm. October’s full moon in Aries didn’t just shine; it exposed.

The full moon in Aries occurs October 2025 is the [Hunter’s Moon], this will be a supermoon, arriving on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, around 3:47 a.m. UTC

I didn’t plan to raise my voice. I didn’t plan to lose my composure in front of loved ones. But under that fiery moonlight, while my body ached from a fibromyalgia flare, one tiny pet peeve hit a raw nerve — and I snapped.

Later, sitting in the quiet, I asked myself the same question many of us with chronic pain ask: Was that my ego or my illness?



🩸 Ego vs. Illness — It’s Not Always Either/Or

When you live with an invisible illness like fibromyalgia, your nervous system runs like a car with the check-engine light always on. Pain amplifies emotion, fatigue shortens your fuse, and overstimulation turns even small irritations into blaring alarms.

That’s biology.

But ego? Ego is your inner guardian of pride and boundaries — it steps in when you feel unseen or dismissed. During a flare, the line between ego and pain blurs. The body says “I can’t.” The ego says “I won’t.”
And suddenly, you’ve said something you can’t take back.

Neither makes you manipulative. Both make you human.



🔥 The Aries Full Moon Effect

Aries moons light up our solar plexus chakra — the seat of confidence, control, and expression. This energy pushes us to defend our truth, but sometimes forgets to lower its volume.

When mixed with chronic pain, that fiery energy can spill out as irritation, defensiveness, or tears.

Spiritually speaking, this moon is a mirror. It asks:

> “Where are you still fighting battles you’ve already outgrown?”



Mine happened to show up during a time when there should have been harmony.




🌬️ How to Cool the Fire After You Snap

1. Name the Trigger, Not the Shame
Write down what actually hurt.

> “I felt dismissed.”
“My body was exhausted.”
“My boundaries weren’t honored.”
Naming it softens its sting.



2. Ground the Energy
Sit or lie down with your hands over your stomach.
Breathe deeply and whisper:

> “I release the need to control what’s already revealed.”



3. Revisit, Don’t Re-ignite
Once you’ve cooled off, revisit the moment with compassion. Was it pain speaking? Pride? Both deserve understanding, not punishment.

4. Communicate When Calm
Let loved ones know what a fibro flare feels like — how physical pain can sound like frustration. You’re not excusing behavior; you’re offering context. Healing grows from understanding.



🌾 What the Hunter’s Moon Teaches

This moon isn’t about perfection — it’s about purification. It calls us to hunt for honesty, release stored frustration, and practice grace when the body and spirit collide.

If you live with chronic illness, remember: your sensitivity is not weakness — it’s wisdom trying to be heard.

So the next time your energy spikes during a flare or full moon, pause before reacting and whisper:

> “My body is loud, but my spirit is listening.”



Healing isn’t about never snapping.
It’s about noticing when you do — and choosing softness next time.
