29th September: Full Moon in Aries...
This Hunter's Moon could rub us all the wrong way!
The Full Moon in Aries adds warmth to our day.
However, with the Sun and Mars in peacekeeping Libra, we’ll be compelled to seek unity with others. Meeting your own needs isn’t easy, and we could all find ourselves caught up in what other people are doing, our attention skewed!
I would say this Full Moon is indeed strange.
Usually, Aries energy is great for initiating and putting forward the notion of “me first”. But on this day, Aries is ruled by Mars, Mars is in Libra where it’s in detriment.
Mars isn’t operating too well, and is positioned on the South Node, co-present with the Libra Sun, which is in its fall (also not very strong).
Things might not seem to come off too well, no-one might be operating at their best.
Venus is in Leo, and the Sun and Mars both now answer to Venus. [The Sun and Venus are in mutual reception, Mars is sextile Venus.]
Thanks to the summer just gone (and the retrograde spell of Venus) we might all have a good handle on what we want, what brings us pleasure.
However, Venus is square Uranus (22º), a signature that has also peppered the past few months. A restless dissatisfaction could add tremors this Full Moon…

Aries
The Full Moon in your sign is personal, Aries. However, while this would usually be a time to celebrate yourself in all your glory, you might be forced to look to a partner, individuals in your midst you’re paired with for their response or reaction to you.
Lend focus to key people that stand before you and sense a partner (romantic or platonic) that’s leading the way. Mars and the Sun in your opposite sign are likely prompting you to mirror or look outward.
Your own happiness, affections and ability to access pleasure may have been a big deal lately, with a major overhaul understanding the good times on offer. Now, you can perhaps see yourself and your temperament or needs in a more full and well-versed way.
Note body issues, your persona, character and solo story, and be happy stepping out with a plus one by your side…
Taurus
It’s a day when unconscious feelings could be hard to ignore, with a Full Moon in your escapist twelfth house of charity, closure and hidden agendas.
Illuminate a secret side of yourself, mysteries, misunderstandings and even the ways you transition or heal.
Yet note, as the Sun and Mars light up your house of daily routines, work life and habits, you could be compelled to push ahead with activities, focused on everyday demands and a busy schedule. A healthy lifestyle or systems may see you extra productive (unable to fully switch off).
Allow yourself space to come undone, experiencing subtle emotions, elusive and unknowable situations that are coming to light. Home life and what you’ve come to appreciate about family or sacred environments might now be key, as you enjoy family or where you’re from!
Gemini
The Full Moon illuminates your house of social spheres, group dynamics and team work, so shared goals might be worth acknowledging, or your circle of peers and communal interests among you.
Yet Mars and the Sun prioritize your own passions and inspiration.
Your own hobbies, artistic talents, desires or pastimes, or, your love life, kids and passion projects may be key! What you desire may be personally motivating, more so than participating in society or looking toward friends or an audience.
Local connections and places, neighbors, a local hangout, and your closest, inner circle or a sibling might be key, as you garner what the masses or society reveals to you, and the dreams you share in a community. However, consider too what’s in your heart, your playful, romantic sensibilities, and what you enjoy what’s special to you.
Cancer
The Full Moon lights up your house of visibility, which would usually indicate a time to celebrate your position at large, with visibility, a sense of accomplishment or a moment to acknowledge how you’re seen as successful or coming across in a public role.
However, Mars and the Sun lead you home, with emphasis on the way you nest and settle, or gain semblance in surrounding spaces. You may be looking to family or domestic environments, rather than forging a career path. Or perhaps you’re allowing stability, safety or your sense of place to guide your direction, goals and image.
Recognition of your vocation, personal brand or a position of leadership might be due, yet somehow addressing your inner world or stability counts too.
Hold space for your ambitions and your own security that underpins how you get ahead.
You may be extra aware of spending, saving, earning and contributing in a material sense, enjoying what you’ve built or come to know about your position.
Leo
There’s presently a spotlight on close connections, neighbors and kindred spirits, as Mars and the Sun guide your focus to local environment and the way you relate to people with a similar mindset – or common connection, like a shared location or language.
Meanwhile, the Full Moon illuminates’ foreigners, visionary ventures, and projects that lead you to grow and develop another way of seeing the world.
Note a keenness to know, to seek out a platform or place that brings you a specialism, philosophy, or education. Cultural awareness may be increasing, with a view to be internationally present.
Yet your experiences and a broader (global) understanding might not be easily translated, given who you find yourself around. Try to comprehend your journey, while also navigating familiar spaces.
You may be extra aware of your own vivacious draw, who you are and what you want out of life! Share what you find to be true, appreciate a course or quest embarked upon, as well as rapport with those around you.
Virgo
Today sees a Full Moon in your house of unification, bonds, mergers and investments. Illuminate private affairs and your own mortality or legacy, and the way you come together with something to gain or lose. You may be dealing with an intense issue, facing up to those you can trust!
However, know there’s a great emphasis on your part, presently – what you contribute, and where your energy goes. There’s a spotlight on money, your income and possessions, what you make, build or the way you sustain yourself. Find confidence in your ability to sustain yourself!
You’ve been encouraged to go deeper, with a process of acceptance, taking a step back to deal with a secret, or part of yourself that’s unconscious and hidden. Find that sharing what you have with loyal people (your time, resources, outgoings and money) matters, while also depending on your own assets and attributes.
Libra
The Aries Full Moon lights up your house of partnership, so that although it’s your birthday month (and a time to shine with attention and focus on you) your unions could be high on today’s agenda – particularly your part in personal relationships.
With Mars and the Sun in your sign, one-to-one encounters may see you initiating or leading. It may somehow rest on your shoulders to make a move or take necessary action around others.
Your community of friendships in a network of peers and associates could be key, as you navigate individuals you’re involved with or are facing up to. Pay attention to your reaction to another person’s presence as you collaborate or team up. A social slant could really help ease the way you come together.
Scorpio
The Full Moon illuminates up your house of health, wellness and employment, encouraging you to acknowledge a job, routine or issue around your work and wellbeing. Acknowledge a schedule adhered to – or a practice undertaken with regularity.
However, there may be an elusive component to daily living and what you undertake day-to-day. The tasks on your plate may be secret or have an air of unravelling, with the Sun and Mars in your solitary house of acceptance, spiritual surrender, time out and rest.
Mars and the Sun lead you to escape the grind or yield to a different, alternative motivation (or way of working). You may be practicing patience with quiet isolation or peace away from your usual pace.
Be extra aware of your public image, career path or professional direction, finding you’re seen in a positive fashion. It may now be apparent what contributes to the recovery that’s necessary for you…
Sagittarius
There’s presently a spotlight on community and your friends or peer group, as Mars and the Sun guide your focus to teamwork, and what you’re able to accomplish participating in a crew or crowd (including on social media).
However, the Full Moon in your playful, creative, romantic sector breeds passion. You could be inclined toward your kids (or considering pregnancy and fertility), or have an artistic plan to illuminate.
Reveal more about the people, places and things you love, your solo pursuits, hobbies, love life, children, and all that makes your heart beat, while also being socially active among a membership or common cause.
Your own growth and awareness of international relations may have developed, so that you’ve experienced greater understanding of your beliefs, and of the world and its people. Your adventurous side and perspective gained may be key as you relate to your own desires and others.
Capricorn
Today sees a Full Moon in the lowest corner of your chart, Capricorn. Illuminate your base, foundations, family life and the hidden parts of yourself, including the past, parenting issues, your homeland or household interests.
However, know there’s a great emphasis on your outer life, and the impression you make through your career, standing, status or reputation.
You may be visible as a leader, or find yourself stepping up into a position of authority, seen or ambitious outwardly, too.
Try to balance feelings or emotions around home and your own security, as well as getting ahead or standing out as a notorious figurehead.
You’ve been encouraged to go deeper into the more private, intimate or intense dealings you have with others, broaching sex or taboo topics, and this can now be a favorable way to manage your inner and outer life.
Allow reflections around partnership or a commitment made to mediate where you’re headed and where you started off from.
Aquarius
There’s presently a spotlight on long-distance travel or international spaces, publishing, knowledge and meaningful experiences that see you go further, Aquarius. Your own growth and understanding of the world or a specialism may be driving you, as Mars and the Sun guide your focus to foreigners, or those outside your usual catchment.
Meanwhile, the Full Moon illuminates’ local areas, your communication skills, news and intellect. Your inner circle, siblings or the way you navigate might be pertinent, with awareness of those in close quarters.
Acknowledge how you connect and conduct yourself among best friends, or neighbors, folk you find yourself among regularly. Yet note how you’ve experienced something beyond yourself, too.
You may be extra aware of a partner, and what you’ve come to appreciate about key people you encounter at a more personal level, and this could be significant to realisations you’re having of a social nature. PAUSE to gather your thoughts, while appreciating opportunities to gain greater perspective.
Pisces
Today sees a Full Moon in your money house, so earning a living, contributing or making a wage may be important. Note realizations you’re having around your role and income, or the facets of your material world illuminated.
However, know there’s a great emphasis on togetherness, and the part you play within a union or partnership. What two people agree on giving or doing is now key – the way you merge and rely on others, or share and combine what you have for mutually beneficial outcomes…
On another level, you may be encouraged to go it alone, self-sufficient, while some pretty intense matters are unfolding within important relationships, which could touch on mortality, financial commitments, a legacy or dependents.
A negotiation may be underway, so that you’re communicating effectively.
It’s a moment to acknowledge the position you uphold, rewards you make solo, and pledges or commitments made to others to share the load.
