Full Moon in Aries: The Final Closure

In Astrology, the Moon represents the most hidden, intimate corners of our souls: our emotions, instincts, memories, vulnerabilities, fears and our deep-seated desire to be safe and nurtured.

The Moon is the Mother figure of the Zodiac.

This magical celestial body is the closest to the Earth and is visible nearly every night in the Sky.

Full Moons are culmination points in the lunar cycle, providing a perfect opportunity to let go of anything that’s no longer serving our highest good. 

October’s Full Moon is happening at 16 degrees of the first Zodiac sign of Aries on Sunday, October 9 at 4:54 p.m. ET.

Aries is bold, ambitious, and positively assertive.

It’s the fire starter of the Zodiac.

Ruled by the red, hot, fiery planet Mars, named after the Roman god of war, the Ram is a fearless fighter that doesn’t like to take no for an answer.  

This Full Moon has a special name – it’s called the Hunter’s Moon.

It got its name because it occurred at the time of the year when hunters were hunting for game to prepare for a long, cold winter ahead. 

This Hunter’s Moon is a unique opportunity to get the final closure and clean the slate ahead of a very challenging Eclipse season, starting end of October.

The Cosmic Weather Report

The planet of love and abundance Venus is very close to the Sun in Libra, making almost an exact opposition to the Moon in Aries.

The Aries – Libra axis is all about relationships we have with ourselves and others.

This energy is only intensified by the presence of Venus.

The Moon is only 2 degrees away from the asteroid Chiron, often referred to as the wounded healer.

This combination can activate emotional wounds that need to be addressed at this time.

The opposition of the Moon together with Chiron and the Sun together with Venus on Libra-Aries axis can trigger a major closure of some sort.

Don’t be afraid to let go of a relationship that’s no longer serving your highest good.

No matter how difficult it might feel, now is the perfect time to cut the cord for good to clear up the space ahead of the upcoming Eclipse season, which is nearly upon us.

Mars in Gemini squares off with Neptune in Pisces at the time of this Full Moon.
This energy is not great for clarity. It can bring in fog, confusion, misunderstanding, and deception.

Thankfully, the planet of communication Mercury in Virgo is forming a helpful trine to the planet of death and rebirth Pluto in Capricorn.

This powerful cosmic alignment will help clear away intensified confusion and uncover deception. It wants to dig deep to get to the bottom of things.

The notorious Saturn – Uranus square is being majorly activated at the time of this Full Moon.

The planet of harsh karmic lessons and restrictions Saturn represents the past, and rebellious Uranus represents the future. 

This clash of the new and the old has been an ongoing theme since 2021 when the square got first activated. 

The good news is we became quite familiar with this energy by now.

Long story short, the cosmic weather is pretty stormy right now, and it will only intensify as we are approaching the second Eclipse season of 2022.

It’s vital to remember that we are birthing a new world both on an individual and collective level. Giving birth is often a very challenging, painful yet extremely rewarding experience.

The key is to keep your eye on the bigger picture.

Don’t get too destructed by the turbulent current events happening all around us.

It doesn’t mean you need to completely ignore reality, but it’s absolutely vital to keep a sober outlook on life, and not let panic and despair overwhelm you.


Before we dive in, be sure to check your Ascendant, Moon and Sun signs to get a full picture. When you read a horoscope for your Sun sign only, you only get a glimpse of what’s in store for your personal and professional life. Your Sun sign (related to the day you were born) might be an important component of your identity, but it’s only a small fraction of the whole story. Very often, your Ascendant (or Rising sign) is the most accurate representation of you as an individual, as it rules your first house of the self and therefore has the biggest impact on your personal horoscope. 


It’s Your Personal Full Moon of the Year, dear Aries!

This Full Moon is happening in your 1st house of the self, dear Aries.

Spend time with yourself. 

It’s vital to heal any emotional wounds before forging ahead with a new project or idea.
