The first Full Moon of Fall arrives in Aries on September 29, 2023, at 5:57am EDT. While this Full Moon is not an eclipse, it does relate back to the first eclipse we had in Aries on April 20, 2023, and speaks to the next eclipse we’ll have in this sign on April 8, 2024. There is also an additional foreshadowing event as the ruler of this Full Moon, Mars, sits in Libra at 21°, the same degree as where the next eclipse will occur on October 14th. This can be a frustrating lunation that highlights the challenges we’re experiencing, and increase the tension of feeling more limited or contained with our work.

The Full Moon in Aries asks us to look at our own individuality in the midst of increased focus on relationships. This Moon may illuminate a wound or area of healing we need to tend to, as the Full Moon sits next to Chiron. Mars is in a confusing square to Neptune, getting closer to its point of retrograde. However, helpful aspects between Sun & Venus with Saturn & Mars can bring some stability.
