This Aries Full Moon Be Like Dr. Jane Goodall — Brave, Bold, and Unapologetically You. As Jane Said, “You Matter.”
The Aries Archetype: Courage, Fire, and Unshakable Self-Belief
Listen — you may know of Dr. Jane Goodall as a cliché: the chimp woman.
But to know her headline and move on is to miss the wow that is this Aries archetype woman.
Courageous? Check.
A leader? Check.
Led by the heart? Check.
Unfuckwithable? Check.
Full of childlike energy, desire, and play? Check.
I wrote about meeting her here, and the video of how she effortlessly put veteran European and American journalists in their place had me Cheshire-cat smiling. But it is her life story that holds the true Aries magic — the fearless spark that reminds us what leadership really looks like.
As this Aries Stellium passed away just before the Full Moon she is the moment. Let’s learn..
A Life Written in Fire: Jane Goodall, Aries to the Core
How this woman went against all the grains, in all the ways, for decades, is something we should all be studying. It’s classic Aries leadership and drive.
It is one thing to change things in your own country — another to travel across the world and do it.
Of course, a birth chart is more than a Sun sign, but this woman is so Aries, we must talk about it.
Jane Goodall wasn’t just an Aries Sun. She was Mars in Aries (its home sign) and Uranus in Aries, too. Her stellium wasn’t just strong — it was forged in Aries fire.
She had a Sagittarius rising and Moon, which means she lived and breathed her beliefs. And her North Node in Aquarius? That sealed it. She was born to raise the collective consciousness — and she did. Fait accompli. Legend.
Rewriting Science, Culture, and Connection
In July 1960, at the age of 26, Jane Goodall traveled from England to what is now Tanzania and ventured into the little-known world of wild chimpanzees. – The Jane Goodall Institute
In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute for conservation, and in 1991, the Roots & Shoots youth program.
It was not just that this beautiful blonde woman went to Africa. It was that she took on established science like it was nothing — and this was before the women’s rights movement. She was just doing the thing. Classic Aries.
Her stories of battling egotistical, misogynist scientists are maddening, which makes her ability to rise above it and still succeed even more legendary. Aries warrior energy in full display — leading, transforming, and rewriting entire systems without picking an unnecessary fight. LEGEND.
She used her intelligence and tenacity as her sword. Her curiosity and courage led to discoveries that changed how humanity relates to animals and nature — and she never stopped reminding us: we are part of it.
The Beauty of Defiance
Jane Goodall had model looks, a warrior spirit, and the magnetism of a mystic — which is why those images of her in Gombe, journal in hand, surrounded by nature, are so powerful.
She chose the Tanzanian jungle and the company of chimpanzees over a cushy London life. And the joy in her is palpable — she followed her curiosity, and in doing so, opened doors for women and redefined colonial narratives as she worked to preserve our natural world. (Making it look like a breeze when you met her!)
(Has anyone ever studied how much her work influenced anti-colonial progress? Because that ripple is real.)
Limits? Like her fellow Aries, Mariah Carey — she does not know her.
Nevertheless, She Persisted
Imagine living in 1950s England — a society that worshipped royals Liz and Phil, thought colonialism was lit, punished gays for being themselves — and this woman simply said, nah, I am doing this my way.
Aries leadership in action.
Alan Turing, arguably the greatest British scientist of the 20th century, was tortured and killed for being gay by those same leaders. Nevertheless, she persisted.
Jane has shared stories of battling ignorance and institutional sexism throughout her career. People feared her work and discoveries. To me, her persistence highlights a lifelong battle with the establishment — one she met with grace and grit until the end.
I met her, 89-years-old, at Paris’ Musée Grévin, the historic wax museum. She was there to unveil her own figure. Before she arrived, someone in our Anglo-American Press Association group noted that London’s famous wax museum had never honored her. We were all shocked — but yes, it is true. England does not feature their own rose.
Silly status-quo-ers.
She was very aware that her being a white, blond, British woman was a privilege and was a masterclass in how to use it. She spoke directly to it in her opening remarks to my journalism group. I smiled so wide watching the room of white journalists become more silent than silence at her take that white people need to listen to what locals need and then not get in the way and do it. I mean… My smile was so wide. Aries warrior in action.
Not sure if she read Sun Tzu or just was this wisdom lol, but she did the following:
“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
“Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.”
Make no mistake, this woman was at war with forces that want to destroy the planet and keep us apart. Her leaving a video post her passing to continue her work proves it. That’s some serious warrior on all planes ish.

Jane’s Message to Us All
As Jane was famous for saying — and did in an interview to be published after her death:
“You matter. You might not know how or why, but you do. Keep on.”
Libra Season reminds us of connection and partnership — of the we. But there can be no authentic we if you are hiding who you are. Love cannot blossom or last if it is not honest.
So shine bright. We need your light.
When in doubt, be like Jane. Follow your spark.
Be for others — and shine on.
