Aries Full Moon

We are now fully out of Eclipse Season, and the Aries Full Moon on October 17th, 2024, at 5:26 AM MST, offers us a final purging, allowing us to release, and let go whatever may have been brought to light during the Eclipses.

Full Moons are a potent time of release, letting go of what no longer serves us, and clearing space for new blessings to manifest in our lives. It is also a time of offering gratitude for how far we’ve come.  Aries is the sign of self-discovery, independence, and bold action, and this Full Moon calls us to embody our autonomy, courage, and self-direction, urging us to step fully into our power.

This Full Moon is at  24 degrees which symbolizes emptying oneself of preconceived notions and personal baggage to make room for new experiences and opportunities. This degree encourages us to set aside our self-imposed limitations and allow life to flow through us. It’s an invitation to honor the unfolding. 

The Aries Full Moon is a time of self-focus, not disconnecting ourselves from others, but through reclaiming our authenticity and personal power. Aries energy is raw, direct, and uninhibited—focused on the self’s journey toward individuation. Under this Full Moon, we are asked to reflect on where we may have become too self-absorbed or overly concerned with our personal agendas, and instead, realign with our innocence, authenticity, and courage.

We’re being given the opportunity to ask ourselves: where have we been holding back? Where have we been afraid to fully embrace our independence? The themes of self-reliance, boldness, and leadership are highlighted now, as we are asked to step into a greater sense of autonomy. This Full Moon offers the chance to release any fears of not being enough or needing external validation. It’s a time of letting go of the parts of ourselves that cling to self-doubt, so we can embody the bravery needed to pursue our goals.

This Full Moon sextile Jupiter, the planet of expansion and abundance. Jupiter’s influence brings a sense of optimism to this Moon, reminding us that growth and opportunity are always available to us. It asks us expand beyond our current circumstances and limitations and to trust into the abundance all around.

Chiron—the wounded healer—is also conjunct the Full Moon which can create a sense of duality with this Moon. Between the expansive energy of Jupiter and the potential touchiness of Chiron, we may feel a sense of wanting to expand while feeling restricted by our insecurities. Chiron in Aries speaks to the wounds of self-worth and self-identity, and conjunct the Full Moon shines a light on some of our wounds to encourage healing and transformation.  We are being asked to confront the wounds we have around our self-worth, value, and how we may be playing small.

This Full Moon offers a chance to release these old patterns, facilitating healing, compassion, and self-acceptance. It gives us the chance to heal the parts of ourselves that have felt unseen or unworthy.

This Moon encourages us to embrace our boldness, to take risks/initiative, and to trust in our ability to create our own path. Aries teaches us that true independence comes from within, from trusting our instincts and taking aligned action.

This Moon asks us to take time to reflect on where we can let go of self-imposed limitations.

What fears may be holding you back from fully stepping into your power and embodying authenticity?

Are there parts of your identity that no longer resonate with who you are becoming? 

This Full Moon asks us to align with the courage and strength of Aries and embody the passion and authenticity of the Ram. Use this Moon to get clear on where we may be playing small, avoiding risks, and they why behind it will help us release and let go of any fears, doubts or insecurities to step into a more courageous and empowered sense of self.

• What fears are holding me back from fully stepping into my power?

• What aspects of my identity no longer resonate with who I am becoming? What purpose have they maybe been providing (safety, ability to fit in, etc.) and how can I release them to step into authenticity?

• How have my past wounds around self-worth or self-identity influenced the way I show up currently, and how can I begin to heal and reclaim my personal power?

• Am I pursuing goals and desires that truly align with my highest truth, or have I been influenced by external expectations?

• What self-imposed limitations or beliefs are holding me back from taking bold, courageous action, and how can I release them during this Full Moon?
