Astrology of the October Full Moon in Aries

Because this moon falls in Aries and is a super/full moon, its energy is intense, direct, and charged. Here are the themes and potentials:

Aries is the sign of initiation, courage, and personal will. This full moon asks: What in you wants to be seen or birthed now?
Because full moons are times of culmination and letting go, in Aries it’s potent for releasing fears, self-limits, or patterns that block your forward movement.

Some astrologers note this moon will highlight tension between autonomy and closeness—how do you honor your individual flame while engaging in a relationship?

Emotions may feel magnified. Hidden tensions or unrest may want to surface for transformation.

Aries wants to act. This is a good time to set intentions that require boldness or to leap toward something new after much inner preparation.

Suggestions for Working with This Full Moon

Moonlit ritual: Write down what you’re ready to release, then symbolically release it (burning, burying, or letting it go into water).
Affirmations: Use statements like “I claim my fire,” “I step forward with courage,” or “I own my voice.”
Movement practice: Because Aries is a fire sign, incorporating ritual movement—yoga, dance, even walking meditation—can help you embody this energy.
Reflect on beginnings: Consider starting something you’ve held in your soul for a while—this moon supports first steps.
Shadow work: This is also a time to see where you’ve been aggressive, rushed, or reactive—calling your awareness to how you wield your power.
