The Full Moon In Aries, 2023 Cautions You To Control Your Emotional Outbursts
Nicknamed the ‘Harvest Moon’ as the full moon closest to the Autumnal equinox, the full moon in fierce Aries on September 29 will be a marker of your growth and emotional maturity. This cleansing energy – charged by the Moon’s perfect opposition with the Sun in harmonious Libra – brings balance, justice, and peace to the forefront of your mind. Typically reactive and abrasive in nature, this full moon in Aries brings refreshing energy, thanks to Mars (the ruling planet of Aries) being reined in by its position in passive Libra. Soft yet sure of yourself, you’re avoiding conflict and focusing on what’s best for you as changes to the dynamics of your relationships offer opportunities to communicate with greater self-awareness.
Regulate your emotions
Refusing to lower your energy to engage in fights and conflict, you’re developing courage and self-reliance under the Aries full moon to deal with challenges from a higher state of being. Powerful endings and moments for closure and energetic release will arrive with potential for drama; it’s up to you to control your emotions and the situations at hand. Abrasive Mars stands close to the lunar south node of destiny, reminding you of the consequences of losing your calm. With matters in your past cautioning you not to behave in ways you aren't proud of, you’re learning to express yourself authentically while regulating your emotions and learning from your triggers. This will be your greatest demonstration of growth: refraining from giving your power away to experiences and people that provoke you as you have done before.
Prioritize togetherness
The full moon receives support from loving and harmonious cosmic activity to soothe tensions that arise throughout the day. Juno – the asteroid concerned with unions and togetherness – cuddles close to Venus in Leo, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging other people’s feelings as you would like done for your own. Your relationships are taking center stage as Venus challenges Uranus retrograde in Taurus and receives support from conflict-averse Mars. Working well with others is your priority, even when dealing with the most stubborn and chaotic frenemy or partner who refuses to back down from a fight.
With a greater understanding of your needs and values, you’ll know exactly how to put yourself first without making others feel uncared for, and you'll know when you’ve reached the point where it’s better to let things go and walk away. Wise warrior asteroid Pallas bonds with the Libra Sun, encouraging you to choose your battles carefully – focusing on matters that directly concern you rather than getting embroiled in an argument because you fought on someone's behalf. Lead with grace and kindness and trust that it’s not worth sacrificing your peace to ‘win’ a dispute.
