When I opened the chart for the September 26th Aries Full Moon, I was blown away by the amount of fiery energy on offer. Needless to say, this is going to be one HOT Full Moon, and all of us will be dealing with our inner fire in some way.
How do you handle heated emotions or situations? Has your inner flame been left to fizzle out, or is it raging out of control?
Whatever your relationship with “the fire”, it is likely to be tested under the September Full Moon.
The Aries Full Moon is the Harvest Moon
While emotions may be running hot, it is important to acknowledge that this is the first Full Moon after the Equinox, making it the Harvest Moon.
The September Equinox celebrates the halfway point of our astrological year, and is a time to celebrate all we have achieved. All the seeds we planted under the March Equinox would have started to bloom, bringing us the rewards of our efforts.
If we are unhappy with what has been growing in our garden, the September Equinox offers a turning point and reset, helping us to make adjustments, and the Full Moon can amplify this for us.
The September Full Moon encourages us to honor the journey we have traveled and to acknowledge ourselves for all the lessons, successes, and failures that we have navigated so far. It wants us to soak up our life experience, find the gratitude, and then let go of what we no longer need.
It wants us to recognize that we are getting a do-over, to make new choices, to try again, and to take a new approach, one that is more courageous and perhaps requires a little more confidence.
The lingering energies of the Equinox, along with the fiery energies of the Aries Full Moon, offer a rare opportunity for us to level up and embrace a new season of our life story.
The Aries Full Moon Has Rose Colored Lenses
Neptune, the planet of spirituality, but also illusions and confusions, will be active under the Aries Full Moon, making it harder for us to see the truth.
Full Moons are always illuminating, but Neptune’s presence may muddy the waters, making it harder for us to see fact from fiction.
Neptune can also make things look more magical and special than they really are, almost like we are seeing things through rose-colored lenses.
While wearing rose-colored lenses may be a good idea when creating, building our confidence, and dreaming a better vision for our lives, they are perhaps not the best thing to wear when we are trying to make decisions or figure out whether we can trust someone.
If something feels off to us under this Full Moon, or we are presented with an opportunity that just feels a little too good to be true, we have to pause and pay attention. With Neptune involved, we can also keep in mind that all the information we receive may not be the full picture.
When our view is not clear, our only choice is to trust our intuition. Listening to that inner voice can be hard at times, but it will be our guide under this cosmic weather.
How to Work with the Aries Full Moon
Feeling some heated emotions is likely to be something we will all experience, especially leading into the Full Moon.
We tend to feel the Full Moon brewing at least four days before it arrives, so begin paying attention to what is coming up for you. Do you feel more frustrated, angry, or irritable than usual? Are you pushing to get things done, or feeling a lack of motivation?
Writing things down, exercise, dancing around the living room, making art, deep cleaning, and spending time near water are all some ways we can channel this energy.
If you want to reflect deeper, you can also consider:
- your relationship with anger
- what is hiding beneath your anger/frustation
- where you need to be more impulsive and take a leap of faith
- where you need to slow down and be more responsible
- what brings you passion
- your relationship with feeling and staying motivated
