Harvest Supermoon in Aries (Bold, Courageous, Confident)
On October 6 at 11:47 PM EST, the Full Moon in Aries greets us, bringing with it bold energy, fiery clarity, and a call to courage. Because this is a Super Full Moon, it will look bigger and brighter than usual, and its energy will feel more intense (all sooooooo Aries). Super Moons occur when the Moon is closest to Earth in its orbit, amplifying not only the tides of the ocean but also our emotional tides. That’s why this Aries Super Full Moon may feel especially powerful, stirring strong feelings and pushing us toward action.
The Energy of the Aries Full Moon
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and is ruled by Mars, the planet of drive, passion, and action. I have no fire in my chart; my sass comes from my 5 Scorpio placements. But tbh, fire signs scare me… and inspire me. Fire signs are typically bold and courageous, action-oriented and authentic. I, on the other hand, like to take small, planned steps like an arthritic dog (name that show!).
Full Moons always highlight polarities, and in this case we’re balancing Aries and Libra. Aries energy is about independence, courage, and self-leadership, while Libra reminds us of relationships, compromise, and harmony. This Full Moon helps us find the sweet spot between honoring our own needs and being mindful of the needs of others.
If you’ve been focused heavily on relationships, people-pleasing, or putting others first, Aries is here to remind you that your desires and truth matter too. On the other hand, if you’ve been overly self-focused, this Full Moon may reveal where greater balance and awareness of others is needed.
A Call for Courage and Authenticity
This moon highlights the importance of stepping into our authenticity. Aries is not about hiding or waiting for permission, but about claiming space, setting boundaries, and moving boldly toward goals and desires. The energy may feel fiery, even impatient, but that fire can burn away hesitation and self-doubt if we channel it wisely (EMPHASIS ON WISELY!!!!!).
Courage can look different for everyone. For some, it means finally making a decision or taking a leap of faith. For others, it may be about slowing down, practicing patience, or opening up in a vulnerable conversation. The important part is that you honor what feels true and aligned for you right now, while still stepping out into slight discomfort when you know it’s for the best (because there is ALWAYS reward on the other side of stepping through fear).
Ways to Honor the Aries Full Moon
If you’d like to work with this energy, here are some simple rituals or activities to align with the energy:
· Charge your crystals: Red and fiery stones like carnelian, garnet, or jasper are especially aligned with Aries energy.
· Move your body: Aries thrives in physical expression. Try dance, kickboxing, or even a barefoot stomp in the grass. Get your blood pumping!
· Work with fire: Light a red candle or safely burn a list of old patterns, habits, or fears you’re ready to release.
· Essential oils: Diffuse cinnamon, clove, or ginger to stoke your inner fire. Use frankincense if you want to ground that energy into wisdom.
· Salt bath: Add rosemary or eucalyptus to a bath to clear stagnant energy and invite renewal.
· Make moon water: Charge water under the Full Moon and use it later as a spritz to boost energy when you feel sluggish.
