Aries Full Moon: The Invitation

"You don't have to chase what is aligned with you. Make your move, do your part, and let life meet you halfway"

09 . 19 . 26

On September 26th, the Full Moon arrives in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac and perhaps the most impatient one. Aries doesn’t particularly enjoy waiting for the right moment, rather it is the energy of I’ll just do it, the first step before the entire staircase has appeared. Aries reminds us that sometimes you don’t need a five-year plan, you just need to make the first move. But there’s an interesting twist to this Moon because it sits closely with Neptune, bringing dreams, intuition, imagination and a little more mystery into the energy.

This combination asks us to hold two contradictory energies at once, the courage to act whilst also surrendering to the unknown. Neptune can make the future feel unclear and in liminal spaces, the mind can be quick to fill the unknown with anxiety but this moon reminds us there is beauty in letting go of control. Aries teaches us to move whilst Neptune teaches us to trust.

In conclusion the essence of this energy is between the duality of self & another, between independence and interdependence. You may be questioning where you’ve been compromising too much, putting yourself last or holding your breath because you’re afraid of hurting others. This moon reminds you to let go of fear of judgments from others, to speak your truth and make the first move even if you don’t have the whole path figured out, you just need to take the next step that aligns with your truth.

5 Practices to support this Aries Full Moon Portal

01 Fire Release Ritual

Write down what you're ready to stop carrying. An old identity, fear, expectation, resentment or version of yourself you've outgrown. Safely tear up the paper or dispose of it as a symbolic act of release.

02 Send the Message

Is there something you've been wanting to say or weighing on your heart? A thank you, an apology, an invitation or simply an honest expression of how you feel. Meditate on your heart and if it feels in alignment, make the first move. Not to control the response but to simply honour your truth.

03 Create a Dream Map

Instead of a traditional vision board focused on achievements, create one around how you want your life to feel. Collect images, words, colours and places that represent the emotional world you're moving toward.

04 Plant something

Plant a seed, herb or flower as a physical symbol of something you're beginning & will continue to nurture for the rest of the year.

05 Sit in the Unknown

Light a candle and sit quietly for 10 minutes without journaling, meditating or consuming anything. Simply be with the uncertainty and notice how quickly the mind wants an answer. Practice not giving it anything and then journal what came up for you during the practice. With Neptune’s psychic energy, nurturing this space of stillness during this portal can be a very powerful practice to finding clarity and direction.
