About the Full Moon in Aries
Each Full Moon occurs in a different sign each month, and they take on the energy and themes of that sign. When the Full Moon in Aries occurs, the ideas of passion, action, creativity and forward movement are emphasized, making this an exciting time to be alive!
Aries is the cardinal fire sign of spring – and also the first sign of the zodiac.
This sign is about taking charge, getting things done, following our dreams, and finding our passions. While the sign of Aries is associated with the idea of new beginnings, a Full Moon is associated with the idea of letting go and accepting doors that may be closing in our lives.
While it can be stressful or challenging to let situations or relationships disappear from our lives, it is important to remember that we need to let go of certain things to make room for the things we want most in life.
Think about the goals you most want to achieve, the romance you crave, your dream job, and the city or house you would love to live in. This is all possible within your reach, but you will find it difficult to hold on to these thoughts, ideas and desires if you cling to situations or relationships that no longer serve you.
That’s why it’s so important to allow yourself to let go, even when it’s painful—and that’s the lesson during this Full Moon in Aries.
The Full Moon begins to make your goals and dreams come true – the things you started manifesting during the last New Moon. The Full Moon in Aries may cause an outburst of temper or frustration, but these emotions and experiences are necessary to bring you closer to the life you’ve always dreamed of.
Who will be most affected by this Full Moon in Aries?
Fire signs are likely to feel the passion and heat of this energy most intensely, because their energy is connected to that same heat that accompanies the Aries Full Moon.
Leo, Sagittarius and especially Aries can feel a rush of emotions that can cause tension or creative passion – depending on how they want to work with them.
However, every sign under the sun will feel this spirited energy filling the air around them. Regardless of your sun sign, this is your chance to embrace the final chapters that will help you write the book of your life.
What to expect during the Aries Full Moon
There are certain emotions, events, and challenging energies that can accompany this transit, but if you learn how to work with them and get the most out of them, you can sail through this transit as the capable captain of your dream ship.
1. Relationships can change
Do you experience tensions or frustrations in certain relationships?
Do you sometimes feel that you cannot reach your partner or friend? This Full Moon in Aries can act as a catalyst for changes within these relationships – which can be positive or negative depending on how you choose to view these changing energies.

2. Information overload
As the Full Moon shines its light on our lives, we may discover more than just information about our relationships. During this period, you can gain crucial information that directly relates to important issues or themes in your life.
This information will help you close the chapters where you need to move on to move towards the life you have always wanted. Ignoring the information that is emerging now will only cause more problems.
The universe may send you a test or two with this information overload, and it is your responsibility to follow the hints that flow into your life. It could be your own feelings or emotions that are now coming to light – trust the process.
3. The circle of life continues
We briefly discussed the closing windows, followed by the opening doors associated with a Full Moon in Aries.
Aries encourages new experiences, such as jobs, relationships, living spaces, or a new routine in general. But the Full Moon must make room for these things by helping you let go of the relationships or situations that no longer serve you.
Now is the time to prepare yourself to let go of these things.
Clinging to it will only make it harder to get where you want to be. Also try to release your own emotions surrounding these situations, to encourage yourself to let go of any emotional baggage that may be holding you back from your ideal future.
The Full Moon in Aries is about closing chapters that no longer serve your highest purpose. What are your biggest dreams? What are your goals? Where do you want success in your life….now?
The Full Moon in Aries will clear out what’s blocking you and give you the inspiration, fire and action plan to get them out of your life – for good!

4. Listen to your heart
A Full Moon in Aries can bring feelings of warmth and even tension, but if you harness this energy and use it for good, you can turn this fire into a creative passion. This planetary event creates a powerful energy that is unavoidable, so channel it into motivation and artistic endeavors that will bring you closer than ever to your goals and dreams.
This is a great time to manifest, release and pay attention to your psychic senses. You may be receiving visions or prophetic dreams at this time, so it is crucial that you pay attention and use these visions as inspiration.
5. Let your fire burn
Fiery and passionate, there is a certain sense of happiness associated with the Fire element. They say fortune favors the bold, and this is the perfect time to let yourself be the most genuine, authentic version of yourself yet.
The Fire element is naturally enthusiastic and expressive, so this is not the time to suppress that fire within yourself. By finding a creative, inspiring outlet for these emotions, you can avoid taking out your anger or frustrations on other people.
By expressing yourself creatively during this transition, you may even discover a new passion or outlet that you hadn’t considered before.
What to avoid during the Aries Full Moon
Although the Full Moon may only be at its fullest for one day, the days leading up to and following the Full Moon can carry the same intense, emotional energy. This may not be the best time to let your emotions run wild. Try to maintain a sense of calm and tranquility during this time to avoid creating unnecessary tension or drama in your life.
If you don’t try to control your feelings, you may end up taking them out on the people you love most.
However, there are many ways to allow yourself some form of healthy expression. Exercise, meditation, calming music and crystal healing are all excellent ways to bring relaxation and harmony back to the mind and body.
A Full Moon in Aries ritual
Because this is such a fantastic time for emotional release, this ritual requires the use of obsidian, a stone that helps you release any negativity or overwhelming feelings that may be holding you back.
Step 1
Collect a piece of obsidian, a candle and a piece of sage or Palo Santo before you start. This ritual can be performed indoors, but you may get more healing out of it if you perform this ritual under the light of the Full Moon.
Step 2
Sit comfortably, light your candle and concentrate on the burning wick. Let yourself be enchanted by the flame and concentrate on the heat that flows from the tip.
Step 3
Now light your sage or Palo Santo and allow the smoke to waft over your body, removing any negative energy.
Step 4
Finally, hold your obsidian in your left hand and imagine all your problems, worries, concerns and negativity flowing from your body outward into the stone. Obsidian absorbs and neutralizes any frustrations or stressors, allowing them to escape from your body.
Once you feel rested and healed, look to the Moon and silently say “thank you” for her guidance and wisdom.
Use your emotions during this Full Moon
While the Full Moon can be an emotionally overwhelming time for some people, it can also be the catalyst that launches you into a new project or chapter in your life – especially if that Full Moon falls in Aries. So take advantage of this beautiful, healing energy to make the most of it.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, try practicing activities that uplift you and bring joy to your heart, such as watching a funny movie or eating your favorite ice cream. This is a time to be gentle with yourself and others and to remind yourself that there is always something new and exciting around the corner.
