All About The Unfolding Of The Full Moon In Aries

Today’s Full Moon in Aries at 14° burns bright, demanding truth and momentum. Aries Moons are never passive, they light a fire under what has been waiting to move. Under this lunation, it all just sort of arrives with force. You may suddenly see a relationship or a circumstance for exactly what it is, stripped of story or excuse. Some people will reveal themselves as powerful allies and soul-deep connections, while others may show how little they have actually brought to your life. This Moon dissolves illusions and sets a tone of courage for the rest of October.

At the same time, Mercury enters Scorpio. This shift intensifies the way we think and speak. Communication is no longer light, it cuts to the bone. Mercury in Scorpio exposes motives, heightens intuition, and makes it nearly impossible to ignore what is hidden. You may find yourself speaking truths you’ve avoided, or hearing words from others that change the story entirely.

Tomorrow, October 7th, Mercury squares Pluto retrograde in Aquarius at 1°. This is a raw, confrontational alignment. Pluto pulls at buried layers, and Mercury in Scorpio refuses to stay quiet. If you have felt mistreated or manipulated, this is the energy that brings it up and out. You may find yourself questioning someone’s motive, their character, or even their moral compass. The first degree is initiatory, it demands we begin again, this time with nothing hidden.

Then, on October 8th, Venus in Virgo sextiles Jupiter in Cancer at 23°. This is one of the sweetest alignments of the month, and it reminds you that love is a frequency, not just a partnership. The 23rd degree carries urgency and charisma, it wants you to live vividly, not half-asleep. Venus and Jupiter here ask you to celebrate life itself, to indulge in beauty, to manifest with generosity, and to create love rituals whether you are partnered or not. It is an excellent day for manifestation, for calling in abundance, and for loving yourself in ways that ripple outward.

This first week of October is a study in contrast, fiery momentum from the Aries Full Moon, piercing truths from Mercury in Scorpio, power struggles unearthed through the Mercury/Pluto square, and then the sweetness of Venus sextile Jupiter softening the edges. In love, this energy asks you to stop romanticizing what is not real and to step into relationships that meet you with honesty, passion, and depth. If you are partnered, conversations may cut to the bone, but what survives will be more authentic. If you are single, this is a moment to be visible with who you are so that love can meet you fully.

In family, truths may surface that have been sitting beneath the surface, dynamics shift when motives and character are exposed, but the goal is not to fracture bonds, it is to make them healthier and more transparent. In work, the Aries Moon ignites courage to set new goals, while Mercury in Scorpio demands sharper strategy. It is a good time to review methods, experiment with new approaches, and refuse to settle for half-hearted results.

And within the self, this week strips away illusions. It asks you to be bold enough to see clearly, to speak honestly, and to celebrate love as a practice that begins within. When you love yourself without hiding, you set a new tone for every other area of life, and that is the true gift of this week’s astrology. You so got this friend.
