Under the Spotlight: Full Moon in Aries

Monday, October 6, 2025

Our first major lunar touch point since eclipse season. We had a new moon in Virgo, a full moon eclipse in Pisces, a black moon in Virgo/solar eclipse and now we’re rolling into the Mars. 

Mars is the ruler of Aries, where it’s hot and inflammatory, and Mars is the ruler of Scorpio, where it is now and intensity and scrutiny are the vibes. This isn’t the cool moon of nourishment and weepiness; it is here to shine a bright light. This is the last moon in the cycle that began during eclipse season. The new moon in Libra begins a whole new cycle. It’s a biggie, and also a super moon.

Since Mars in Scorpio embodies strategy, now’s the time to review what you’ve been working on and through for the past six months since the full moon in Libra. Because full moons represent peaks and culminations, what did you seed last spring that deserves celebration? What can be pruned? No need to be self-critical. What shows up under Luna’s light? How can you pull in the courage, action, and drive Mars brings to bring your creation to completion?

On the same axis as Libra, this lunation also highlights the Libra of it all. With the sun and Mercury in the sign of relationships, are there any of those that need tending? The vibes are complementary to the Mercury-Jupiter square, and the Venus conjunct South Node. Where can the independence and self-determination of Mars and Scorpio align with the balance and social cohesion of Libra and Venus?

Ask yourself. 

In the glow of the moon, your intuition is an ally and she’s aided by idealistic Neptune just before it retreats from Aries into Pisces. Neptune is the planet of dreams and fantasy, but also delulu and disillusion. When the veil is lifted, what do you see? Unlikely it’s pessimism. What do you feel? Under the light of the super moon and Mars’ clear cutting, clarity emerges.
