About the Full Moon in Aries

We encounter the annual Aries Full Moon each year between Sept. 22 and Oct. 22. It’s sometimes the closest Full Moon to the fall equinox which makes it the Harvest Moon. Farmer continued to bring in crops into the evening hours under the illumination of this slow-rising bright Moon.

Of course, all Full Moons are energy-charged moments, and the Aries Full Moon is no different. As the Moon’s in a Mars-ruled fire sign, many may feel a “bias for action” -- the desire to do something, rather than waiting for the right time. If you’re not barreling forward on your next project, your mind might label the energy “irritation” or “anxiety” and act accordingly.

But, given that it’s Libra season, we’re all still being invited to make allowances for “the Other” in our lives. In other words, it’s not always about you.

Aries Full Moon 2025 Horoscope

The Harvest Moon is the Full Moon closest to the autumn equinox, rising bright and low on successive nights and giving farmers extra light to gather their crops. Long before electric bulbs, this was the moon that stretched the workday, a natural lantern for bringing in what the year had ripened. Symbolically, the Harvest Moon marks a season of reaping—of seeing the results of sustained effort and recognizing what has come to fruition. It’s both practical and poetic: a reminder that every cycle of labor leads to its own season of reward, and that gratitude is the final step in the cycle of growth.

The October 2025 Full Moon is also a Supermoon. That means it moves faster and appears larger and brighter than usual. Supermoons amplify and intensify everything else that’s happening, for better or worse. Events are likely to unfold more quickly than expected. Keep your eyes sharp; you may need to trust perception and instinct to make choices, as there may not be much time for long deliberation.

Unlike last year’s Aries Full Moon, this year’s lunation makes no aspects at all. When an Aries Full Moon rises unaspected, it burns with undiluted force—raw instinct, fierce independence, and the urge to charge ahead without hesitation. With no planetary hands to steady or restrain it, this lunation embodies Aries in its purest form: urgent, daring, and unafraid of conflict. It’s a blaze that lights the path forward, but it can also scorch if not handled with care. The challenge is to channel that primal spark into courageous beginnings rather than reckless battles.

Mars, ruler of the Aries Full Moon, is in Scorpio, one of his home signs, which gives him full strength and focus. Here, his energy runs deep—strategic rather than impulsive, relentless rather than scattered. This isn’t the flare of temper that burns out quickly; it’s the kind of determination that digs in and transforms a situation from the roots up. Yet Mars is also unaspected, a raw flame without a hearth. His force can surge unpredictably: bursts of action, sudden anger, fierce ambition arriving from nowhere. Without other planets to guide or temper him, Mars doesn’t easily weave into the larger pattern. This can feel liberating—pure drive, pure will—but also destabilizing. The task is to learn how to steer this wild momentum, turning raw impulse into purposeful power.

In the background of this lone-wolf lunar dance, retrograding Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto align in harmony. It suggests much is shifting beneath the surface of conscious awareness. Whether seeds are being planted in the collective unconscious or within your own psyche, it takes time for such stirrings to rise into everyday clarity. Dreams may feel odd, or fatigue may set in, as inner resources process what has yet to take shape.

Meanwhile, Jupiter in Cancer, exalted and generous, swells with warmth, protection, and the desire to nurture what matters most. As it flirts with a trine to Saturn in Pisces (Retrograde), there’s a sweet spot between dreaming big and grounding those dreams in steady effort. Jupiter wants to expand the garden; Saturn reminds us to tend the soil. Together, they promise growth that is both heartfelt and sustainable—a balance of hope and responsibility that makes commitments feel less like burdens and more like blessings. But for now it remains a near miss; these two won’t perfect their trine until next August. Consider this a preview, a reminder to be patient with what’s still taking root.

Perhaps the most reassuring note in the mix is that this Full Moon falls in the 2nd Lunar Mansion, Al Butain—a place I’ve nicknamed the Olive Branch. Its energy is ideal for releasing anger and diffusing conflict. If you’ve been carrying grudges or resentments, this is a moment to realize that holding on is holding you back. Lighten the load where you can. In the fiery intensity of this chart, letting go may not just be healing—it may be the only way forward.

Make the Most of the 2025 Aries Full Moon

The 2025 Aries Full Moon is nothing if not intense—a blazing Supermoon stripped of aspects, paired with an equally untethered Mars. It’s raw, urgent, and impossible to ignore. That can feel unsettling, but it’s also clarifying: when the usual guideposts fall away, you discover what you truly burn for. This lunation asks you to harness that untamed spark not for reckless battles, but for brave beginnings. If you can channel the fire with care, it just might light the way to a future you didn’t know you were ready for.
