October 6, 2025 — An Aries Full Moon supermoon forms on Monday, lifting us from the weight of eclipse season, which brought us to our knees as we faced deep fears and shadows. Saturn and Neptune’s ongoing dance is distorting reality, and it can feel as if the world has gone mad. With Mars, Aries’ ruler, in Scorpio and Mercury squaring Pluto in the background, emotions are running hot—anger, intensity, and passion—but we also have greater momentum and resolve.

This lunation is a release valve, helping us shed what we’ve been carrying so we may find respite in the weeks ahead. On October 14, Venus enters Libra, forming a rare Grand Kite that restores balance and offers a potent recalibration in love. Soon after, a Grand Water Trine brings gentleness, healing, and forgiveness. These are much-needed weeks of softening and reprieve.

Meanwhile, the Aries–Libra polarity comes into focus. Aries isolates while Libra entangles. The key now is to find the balance. Aries lends us courage and directness, while Libra reminds us to move with grace and cooperation. If conflict erupts, it can clear what’s been repressed and open space to mend divides.

It helps to remember that all beings are basically good. What happens if we begin here? The Buddhists teach that the first misconception to fall away is the division of the world into friends and enemies. As differences sharpen, we can use them as opportunities to feel our rage, set boundaries, and then soften, surrender, and return to love.

ARIES FULL MOON ASPIRATION

On this Aries Full Moon, may we allow expression of fear, sadness, and anger, clearing our minds and hearts. May we admit our wrongs and heal our divides, remembering that our shared humanity endures even when we’ve lost our way.
