How To Work With September's Full Moon In Aries, According To Astrologers

A full moon is headed our way, and this month, it's in the sign of Aries, highlighting our relationships to others—and ourselves. Each full moon is the culmination of its respective lunar cycle, and this one closes out a six-month chapter that began on the Aries new moon back in March. 

This month's full moon peaks on September 29, just before 6 am EDT. And according to astrology expert and author of Astrology SOS, Imani Quinn, it's going to bring the heat, thanks to Aries' planetary ruler, Mars.

"It's going to have us feel action-oriented and ready for change—it's really clearing our path and getting us ready for aligned, destined action following the recent fall equinox," she explains.

But for this paradigm shift to occur, Quinn adds, the energy of Aries is asking us to put ourselves first amidst relationship-oriented Libra season. "So because of the Aries-Libra contrast, as long as we're focused on the Aries energy of taking action and calculated risks, and putting ourselves first, we can trust that it will balance out the Libra energy that helps us think about the 'we,' and the collective," Quinn says.

One caveat there: Just be careful not to get too hasty. "Aries will definitely have us like ready to burn everything down," she adds.

In terms of other notable astrological happenings around this full moon, Quinn calls out the Venus-Uranus square the same day. This square directly relates to our relationships, she explains, especially as we're in Libra season, which is a sign ruled by Venus already.

"Uranus' influence is really pushing us to change our dynamics and shift things that aren't built on solid foundation, and with the influence of Aries, it's telling us to always speak your truth," Quinn tells mindbodygreen, adding that this Aries moon will give us the the courage and the spark to do that.
