Full Moon in Aries
October 6 / 7, 2025 @ 8:47 PM PT / 11:47 PM ET
Claiming Your Courage
On October 6 or 7th, 2025 (depending where you live in the world) the Full Moon rises at 14° Aries, illuminating themes of independence, self-expression, and courage. Full Moons mark culmination points, and this one reveals where you’ve been holding back your voice, your identity or diluting your desires. Aries reminds us that sometimes the bravest choice is simply to take the first step, even if the outcome isn’t certain.
Aries energy is direct, bold, and impatient with stagnation. Under this lunation, you may feel a surge of clarity about what you want and where you need to take initiative.
This Full Moon arrives with additional astrological energies at play. With Venus preparing to enter Libra and Pluto turning direct in Aquarius later in the month, relationship dynamics, power structures, and fairness weave into the Aries narrative. What surfaces now is not just about individual courage but about how our personal truth fits within collective patterns.
The Aries Moon asks: Where are you ready to stop waiting and start acting? But it also reminds us that not every impulse needs to be acted on immediately. This lunation is less about reckless moves and more about finding the courage to speak truthfully, set boundaries, and trust your deepest instincts.
At its core, the Aries Full Moon reminds us that clarity grows when we honor our agency. That clarity, while sometimes uncomfortable, is the beginning of forward momentum.
Even in situations where you don’t control the outcome, you can choose to act in alignment with your truth, set clear intentions, and step forward with courage.
Notable Themes
- Self vs. Other: The Aries–Libra axis asks us to balance independence with partnership.
- Initiation Energy: This Full Moon highlights beginnings hidden inside endings — what needs to close so something fresh can start?
- Agency & Voice: Speaking your truth, even imperfectly, is more powerful than silence.
- Catalyst for Change: Tensions may flare, but they reveal exactly what’s been suppressed or avoided
Energetic Forecast
Love & Relationships
Expect relationship dynamics to feel charged. Aries highlights independence, while the Sun in Libra emphasizes balance and reciprocity. Tensions may rise if one person feels unseen or overextended. The gift here is clarity: it’s time to speak up about needs and boundaries, even if it stirs discomfort.
Career & Finances
Work themes center on initiative. If you’ve been hesitating to pitch an idea, launch a project, or advocate for yourself, this Full Moon supports decisive steps. Finances may feel stretched if overconfidence leads to impulsive spending; ground big moves in long-term plans.
Spirituality & Growth
This lunation heightens intuition through action. Spiritual growth now isn’t about retreat or withdrawal — it’s about testing your truth in real time. Journaling, breathwork, or physical practices (like yoga or walking meditations) can help integrate the fiery energy into grounded awareness.
Who Will Feel This Most?
- Aries Sun / Moon / Rising: Heightened clarity about personal direction and identity.
- Libra Sun / Moon / Rising: Relationship recalibration; learning to balance give and take.
- Capricorn & Cancer Sun / Moon / Rising: Power, home, and career dynamics may feel activated.
- Anyone with placements at 11°–15° of cardinal signs (Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn) will feel this most strongly.
Journaling Prompts
- Where have I been waiting for permission to act, and what would happen if I gave it to myself?
- What truth am I ready to speak, even if it disrupts the peace?
- How can I balance my independence with my need for connection?
- What part of myself feels most alive right now — and how can I honor it?
Ritual for the Aries Full Moon
Materials Needed:
- A red or white candle (to honor Aries fire and clarity)
- A piece of paper + pen
- A bowl of water or small dish of salt (to ground fiery energy)
Steps:
- Light the candle and sit in a quiet space. Take a few deep breaths, feeling your body rooted and strong.
- Write down one area of your life where you’re ready to assert yourself more fully. Name the fear that’s been holding you back, and the truth that wants to emerge.
- Read your words aloud, with conviction, as though declaring them to the Moon itself.
- Place the paper under the bowl of water or sprinkle salt on it, symbolizing protection and grounding for your new clarity.
- Close with: “I honor my courage. I trust my truth. I move forward with integrity.”
