Aries Full Moon: Release the People-Pleaser + Embrace Your Passions
Sep 24, 2026
Happiest full moon in Aries!
The full moon in Aries is happening at 3 degrees and 36 minutes on Saturday, 9/26 at 12:48 pm ET.
π This Moon βΎ is in fiery, passionate and impulsive Aries βοΈ, opposing the Sun β in loving, harmonious and people-pleasing Libra βοΈ.
β€οΈπ₯ What makes this energy potent with potential for personal transformation is that both the Sun and Moon are part of a Kite formation AND a Mystic Rectangle.
πͺ A Kite formation happens when you have a grand trine, opposition and two sextiles forming...you guessed it...a kite shape.
β A Mystic rectangle happens when you have two trines, two sextiles and two oppositions forming...you know this one...a rectangle shape.
There's loads I could pick apart here and share about, but I want to focus on the Sun and Moon, after all, this is about the full moon and you can't have a full moon without the Sun opposing the Moon.
Specifically, I want to dig into the Sun, at its fall in Libra, as the tail of the Kite, which is offering up a magickal opportunity during this time.
π© There's a reason the Sun is considered at its fall in the sign of Libra. The Sun is about self and Libra is about other.
π With the full moon in self-full Aries, the Moon opposing the Sun in Libra is inviting you to reflect on how much of yourself you give to YOURSELF.
π₯° This full moon is conjunct retrograde Saturn, the planet of boundaries and time and retrograde Neptune, the planet of unconditional love and compassion, inviting you to set healthy boundaries to honor the time you invest in yourself, from a place of unconditional self-love and compassion.
π The Sun, representing your core identity, in the sign of Libra, is inviting you to consider just how much of your identity is wrapped up in how much of yourself you give away to OTHERS.
As part of the Kite, Mars β in Cancer βοΈ is supporting the Moon in Aries by trine (and the Sun by sextile) and in mutual reception. Though, Mars is at its fall, the two planets are supporting each other from the other's home sign.
I know Mars doesn't like to be in Cancer, but I like this energy for taking intuitive action to nurture and care for yourself.
As the other half of the Mystic rectangle and part of the Kite, Pluto β in Aquarius βοΈ is supporting the Sun in Libra by trine (and the Moon by sextile) bringing the energy of authentic transformation.
Not performative transformation. Not half-assed transformation. Pluto doesn't do anything half-assed...
π The kind of transformation that brings you closer to the most authentic, no fucks given, empowered version of you.
π«ΆπΌ To support you with seizing the opportunity, the planets are presenting at the time of this fiery Aries full moon, I've got some journal prompts for you.
Grab your handy, dandy journal and fave pen, then honestly answer the following:
- How much time do I spend each day doing what I love that's just for me? Once you answer that, answer this: Am I comfortable with that choice?
- How often do I say YES to others causing me to say NO to something I already planned to do for myself? Once you answer that, answer this: Am I comfortable with that choice?
- What number am I on my list of priorities? (don't just look at the people that are priorities, also consider other things you give your time to) Once you answer that, answer this: Am I comfortable with that choice?
- What are all the passion projects I have been neglecting, ignoring or tabling for the future, that would light me up, excite me and make me feel happy to be alive? Once you answer that, answer this: Am I comfortable with that choice?
- What do I really give up when I ignore my wants, needs and desires to meet other people's expectations of me? Once you answer that, answer this: Am I comfortable with that choice?
And, my love, it is a choice you're making. It may not feel like you have a choice. You may be unknowingly choosing from a belief system that you never agreed to in the first place. But it is a choice.
I offer the journal prompts to help you create awareness of your patterns. Awareness allows you to see what you couldn't see before. From that place you can start to choose intentionally how much of your precious time and energy you give to yourself and others.
Of course, there will be seasons in your life where others depend more on you, taking up much of your time, but it's still important to carve out time (even if it's only 5 minutes) for yourself to do things that fuel you. Otherwise, you'll end up depleted, miserable and resentful of your loved ones.
But often, it's not out of necessity that you neglect your passions. You're giving others more time, energy and love than you give yourself, because your self-worth is wrapped up in other people's expectations (real or imagined) of you.
I could go on for DAYS about how you've been groomed by society, your family, and other humans to be good, helpful and pleasing to others to your own detriment, but I'm not gonna because I'm tryna keep this short-ish. π And if you've been following me for any amount of time, you've heard it before.
I could also say something about how pouring from a full cup allows you to give more to others, but I know you've heard that one before, ad nauseam.
What I'll say instead is that you deserve the very same time, energy, effort and love you so freely offer other humans.
You deserve to experience yourself, lit up, excited and turned on by life, my love.
And if you're not experiencing yourself that way and you wanna be, now you know where to start.
π₯ Happy Aries Full Moon!
From my heart to yours,
Madame Moon π
