Do you remember ever being on a see-saw when you were a child?
When the two sides of a see-saw are exactly even, nobody is moving. Both people are suspended in mid-air. They are unmoored and ungrounded. The nature of the see-saw requires the weight to tip slightly to one side.
Seeking perfect balance, absolute truth, and harmony are losing games that will keep us stuck. To break through the inertia, we must take bold action.
This is the message of the Full Moon in Aries (October 6, 2025 11:47 PM ET, 14º08’ Aries), to help us break out of the stagnation that Libra season’s pursuit of equity can create.
When Pursuing Truth and Harmony Creates Stagnation
The full moon occurs each month when the Sun is opposite the Moon. The Full Moon in Aries occurs when the Sun is in Libra and the Moon is in Aries.
Each year, the full moon in Aries pulls focus to the tension between Libra and Aries.
Libra is the sign of balance, harmony, and justice. It seeks the truth. It wants all sides equally represented. If you espouse a rule, Libra will find the exception. Express an opinion, Libra will come forward with a counter.
In a world where not all perspectives are honored, count on Libra to give voice to what is generally unheard.
But that noble quality of Libra is also its downfall. In the pursuit of harmony in relationships, it often ignores its own needs. In seeking to give voice to all perspectives, its own perspective can get muddied.
If you are promoting a message, point of view, or product, it’s good to be aware of its holes or flaws. But truth in advertising doesn’t mean you need to announce them to the world.
The Full Moon in Aries encourages bravery and boldness. It reminds us that it’s ok to promote our our perspective, product, or point of view without always making the counter-arguments against our position.
This full moon is ruled by Mars, the planet of action. Mars is currently in Scorpio, its other home sign. Scorpio Mars is fixed on its goal, and that brings this quality to the full moon.
Full Moon in Aries: Break Stagnation With Persistent Bold Action
The invitation of this full moon is to break free of your stagnation through bold action, and then be persistent in that action.
Every rule has exceptions; every framework or system has people who won’t vibe with it. There’s no perfect solution that will work for everyone. But don’t let the pursuit of something that works for everyone hold back on sharing what could work for some people.
A Callback to the Aries/Libra Eclipse Cycle
Although this is the first lunation after the most recent eclipse season, this full moon is pulling our attention back to the prior series of eclipse that occurred on the Aries/Libra axis.
In the annual cycle of the moon, the full moon in any sign relates to the new moon that occurred in that sign 6 months prior. This full moon is the culmination of something that we initiated at the new moon in Aries on March 29, 2025. Although the lunar nodes had already moved into the Pisces/Virgo axis, the new moon was close enough to the south node to create a partial solar eclipse.
Every lunation is also part of a “lunar phase family,” a longer cycle that tracks new and full moons that occur around that same degree in a given sign. In this longer cycle, this full moon is connected to the new moon total solar eclipse in Aries that occurred on April 8, 2024.
Something might have started under the cover of the darkness at either or both of those eclipses that is now being illuminated.
