The full moon is the lunar phase in which the Moon appears fully illuminated from Earth's perspective. This occurs when Earth is located between the Sun and the Moon. The full Moon is a time to be especially receptive – a time to bring your spiritual light and awareness into your emotional and physical body. In many cases, full moons can often bring luck.

What does the Full Moon in Aries Mean?

When Aries meets the Full Moon, this represents a time to align with our life's mission and purpose. Under the light of the Full Moon, we have access to both our conscious and subconscious mind, revealing our true desires in this world. Reflect back on the intentions you set during the New Moon in Aries and observe how they come into fruition during this full moon lunar phase. The Aries energy supports action and enthusiasm, so if your focus has drifted from your original goal, you will likely feel a new spark of motivation to get you back on track.

Full Moons Are a Time for Journaling

During the Aries Full Moon, be open to receiving information from your higher Self. Set aside some time to journal or meditate so you can communicate with your inner wisdom under the light of the Moon. Here are some journal prompts to get you started:

What in your life leaves you feeling renewed and energized?
What do you need to release to make space for your purpose?

Full Moons open up the conversation for us to understand ourselves on a deeper level. In doing so, full moons provide answers effortlessly.

The feeling of uncertainty may come up during this full moon and might make you solve problems faster than what feels natural. Do not rush. Instead, try to slow down and take your time in deciding what you want to do before proceeding at your own comfortable pace.

Aries Characteristics

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac (March 21 to April 20), and its mascot is the Ram. As a fire sign ruled by the planet Mars, Aries energy is individualistic, bold, and brave. You may notice that some or all of these characteristics may be embodied a few days before and after the full moon on October 9th.
