full moon in aries: warrior heart
Week of Oct 6–12, 2025 — Full Moon, Full Truths (Move forward with courage, rock the boat!)
"Be strong, sayeth my heart. I have seen worse sights than this. I am a soldier."
--Donna Tartt, The Secret History (by way of Odysseus)
The Full Moon in Aries wants us to break out of any Libra-induced tendency toward inauthenticity, and have the courage to be our most radical, daring selves. Tonight’s Full Moon (some readers may see the Full Moon early Tuesday), is calling us to tap into courage and boldness.
Here’s the transit overview.
On Monday, Oct 6 @ 11:47 PM EDT, the Full Moon in Aries (14°08) opposes the Sun in Libra (14°08). Now we must cue the classic me ↔ we calibration: autonomy, initiative, and raw honesty (Aries) illuminated against diplomacy, grace, and relational balance (Libra).
Also Monday, Mercury enters Scorpio (Oct 6–29), sharpening focus and deepening conversations. Venus in Virgo (through Oct 13) keeps love practical and service-minded, while Mars in Scorpio (through Nov 4) brings tenacious drive. Saturn in Pisces sets the boundary lesson of the week, peaking as Venus opposes Saturn on Saturday—a reality check for commitments, time, and tenderness.
Current Quality of Time
Emotions crest under the Aries Full Moon: declarations, decisions, and decisive acts land with extra voltage. Yet Mercury’s first steps in Scorpio suggest: feel fully, reveal selectively. Say what is true—but don’t weaponize it. This is a week for courage with care: honor your needs without erasing someone else’s.
