Take Accountability with the Aries Full Moon: Life is what YOU make it!

Full moon thoughts, journal prompts, horoscopes.....

Six months ago, during the Aries solar eclipse, you might have faced an unexpected setback — perhaps a loss, a betrayal, or a full-blown identity crisis.

Now, as we step into the two weeks of the Aries full moon, clarity is on the horizon. You’ll start to see what you’ve learned, what you’ve gained, what you’ve always had, and what you won’t repeat as you move forward.

Healing and “leveling up” is all the rage these days, but let’s be real: no one talks about the gritty side of starting over, the hard work of rebuilding your confidence, or living life on your own terms. The loneliness, confusion, fear, grief, resentment, and anxiety that also comes with it — it’s a heavy load to carry.

Here’s the truth: starting over and choosing to live life by your own standards CHANGES you. You won’t emerge the same person you were before.

We’re designed to evolve and grow, and this Aries full moon is your cosmic invitation to embrace that evolution.

Some of the best parts of who I am have blossomed from those raw moments of rebirth — when everything felt chaotic yet beautifully transformative.

Hell, six months ago during the Aries new moon (March 17 to be exact), I unexpectedly lost a six figure contract, my favorite mentor, and had to start over from ZERO. Today, I’ve secured my dream contract and making more than I was before!

So, before we dive into what this Aries full moon has in store, here’s a gentle (or not-so-gentle) reminder: embrace the chaos, take that leap, and trust that every step forward is leading you to the next version of yourself —whoever that may be. I’m rooting for you!! 🌕✨

What is the Aries Full Moon?

A Aries full moon is a lunar event that can only occur when the Sun is in Libra, and the Moon is in Aries.

In the lunar cycle, the full moon marks the final stage of a journey, a moment to reflect on what’s been brewing since the new moon six months prior. It’s like the universe’s way of saying, “Hey, look at what you’ve created!”

This is when our dreams can be brought to light, often revealing what’s no longer serving us. It’s a perfect time for letting go, whether it’s a habit, a relationship, or your own negative thoughts and self-limiting beliefs.

When is the Aries Full Moon?

The Aries full moon will reach its peak on Thursday, October 17 at around 7:27 am EST.

Keep in mind that the energies of this Aries full moon are active between Tuesday, October 15, and Friday, November 1, 2024. So don’t feel pressured. You have time to work with this energy and observe how it shows up for you.

Pro tip: I always try to wait at least five days after the full moon to journal and document my observations. Waiting to write down and assess my thoughts allows me time to process the impact of the full moon and let the energy settle.

What does the Aries Full Moon Mean?

Let me share a little something about my life: I have a nine-year-old son named Aiden. If you were to ask him what his mom’s favorite word is, bless his heart, he’d probably say “ACCOUNTABILITY” (or Crumbl cookies)! 😂

And you know what? He wouldn’t be wrong! This Aries full moon is all about taking accountability —owning your actions, desires, habits, and choices. It’s about standing up for what you will and won’t tolerate, and making sure your actions actually align with that!

Sure, we live in a pretty warped system that preys on its citizens, but here’s the beauty of this full moon: it’s a golden opportunity to uncover what you can actually do about it. And once you’ve figured that out, here comes the real kicker: you have to get out your feelings (and bed) and DO it.

So, as the moon lights up the sky, let it also illuminate your path and light your fire! It may be cold outside, but never forget your inner flame burns bright!!

Take charge, stay focused, and remember, accountability isn’t just a buzzword; it’s your ticket to transformation. Let’s harness this fiery energy and make it count! 🔥

What major themes will I experience during the Aries Full Moon?

I’m not going to lie, this Aries full moon will have you out here TIRED and irritated if you don’t pace yourself. On the other hand, you can get more done in the next two weeks than you have in the past two months. The key is staying centered and not reacting to every situation that tries to grab your attention.

Just so we’re on the same page, the major themes of the full moon are determined by how the full moon is interacting with the other planets. We call these aspects in astrology.

Here’s what this full moon is cooking up:

• Navigating Emotions and Building Stability🏡

  As the full moon rises and squares off with Mars in Cancer, it’s pushing us to take a long, hard look at how our emotions and feelings drive our actions (and sometimes, our chaos). Some of you might be feeling the nudge to make life changes that lay the groundwork for the future — maybe starting a savings account for your children or reevaluating where you call home. This full moon is all about taking ownership of your emotional landscape and making those adjustments that can lead to greater stability.

• Courage to Heal 💪🏽

  As the full moon aligns with Chiron in Aries, you might notice a surge of courage bubbling up within you. This cosmic connection invites you to confront your wounds head-on and and step boldly into a future where you define your worth. Whether you’ve been grappling with insecurities in your career, challenges in your relationships, or uncertainties about your financial future, now is the time to assess whether you’re truly aligned with your passions.

• Unlock Your Potential 🔑

  With Jupiter's expansive energy at play during the full moon, this is a powerful moment to shift your perspective and release any limiting beliefs that have been holding you back. Take some time to revisit those old projects and ideas you’ve shelved because approaching them from a fresh angle might just surprise you.

  While you may feel a surge of ideas, try to focus your energy on one or two projects over the next six months. Avoid the temptation to scatter yourself too thin, as that could lead to overwhelm or heightened stress. Embrace this opportunity to channel your creativity thoughtfully!

  A break from social media is also a major theme we will see within our networks. People are hungry for a lifestyle that allows them to reconnect with the world in a more meaningful and open-hearted way.
