Full Moon in Aries October 2024: What It Means for You
Discover what lessons the Full Moon in fiery Aries on October 17th, 2024, will be teaching you according to your zodiac sign.
The Vibrant Energy of the Aries Full Moon
The Full Moon in Aries brings a surge of dynamic and intense energy that can propel us into action. Aries, ruled by Mars, is bold and passionate and gets sh*t done. This Full Moon is a time of high energy, courage, and confidence in yourself and your abilities.
We are not putting ourselves down anymore!
Aries is connected to springtime and fresh new beginnings. Did you know Aries season (March-April) actually used to be recognised as the start of the year? Not January! This makes so much more sense to me.
The revitalising energy of Aries feels like flinging windows open to let crisp new energy sweep through the house, dusting old winter cobwebs away. It’s the quiet hope of watching the first snowdrops peep out from the under-growth followed by their bright and cheerful Daffodil sisters.
Right now the Sun is in Libra, marking the season of the Witch, and the Moon is in Aries. We are currently approaching the celebration of Samhain/Halloween, which often speaks to hunkering down and nesting for the winter ahead - so Aries is here to give us a bit of warmth and energy to boost us during this slower period.
Use this energy to help you tie up any loose ends, see that project through and start gently wrapping things up for the coming winter.
The Astrological Significance of the Full Moon in Aries
Think back to six months ago, back in April when we had a New Moon in Aries.
What seeds were you planting that may have now bloomed in full? Or perhaps a theme began to make itself known in your life, where you had to repeatedly assert yourself or embark on a journey of true authenticity?
The Aries Full Moon highlights themes of self-identity, personal goals, and drive. It's a powerful period for self-reflection and understanding how your actions align with your true self.
How Each Zodiac Sign Will Be Affected by the Full Moon in Aries
It’s more accurate to read for your rising sign, but please read your Sun and Moon sign as well to get a fuller picture of your current energies!
Aries: This Full Moon will be deeply tied to your sense of self, how you present to the world and your identity. You may feel extra empowered, or like you want to fight for your autonomy. You also have a little dance going on with Libra in the South Node right now, so it’s important to be patient in relationships and try to find that sweet spot of mutual respect and understanding.
Taurus: This Full Moon could feel very deep for you, as it will be lighting up your subconscious and the more hidden aspects of yourself that you may usually try and avoid. Go easy on yourself, compassion is the antidote to any shame you might be feeling. Alternatively, you could be on an exciting journey of unravelling your personal spirituality and practices, enjoy!
Gemini: When was the last time you allowed yourself to just chill out and catch up with your pals? The stressors of life can make this a challenge, but for our wonderful chatty Cathys, this is self-care. You might be feeling more of a hermit vibe right now though, and that is okay too! Even watching a lighthearted film about friendship might give a little boost!
Cancer: Dear sweet Cancers, your career is being highlighted during this Full Moon. Being a fellow cardinal sign like Aries, you’re no stranger to making bold moves on your journey. However, this energy could be a bit confronting as career stuff seems intrinsically linked to life purpose for us introspective humans. You don’t have to figure it all out right now, just keep putting one foot in front of the other and trust that the path will reveal itself.
Leo: Have you been dreaming of faraway lands, majestic views or even just craving some time alone in a cosy cabin? I feel ya. If you have the means, go for it! Your urge to travel is calling you. However, if you feel a bit restricted right now due to your circumstances, a fantasy novel or old tome on esoteric knowledge might just scratch that itch. Even just a lively philosophical debate with a loved one could light that flame of inspiration and curiosity.
Virgo: Sharing resources can be tricky, especially if that includes your personal dwelling and beloved stuff. We all have our own, very particular way of doing things and you’re no stranger to this concept. Be mindful of bickering over material things and keep your cool. This is especially important around your close bonds with others, since conversations around intimacy and connection may come up as well. Although challenging, these discussions have the potential to be incredibly healing.
Libra: Oh Libra, you just want to keep the peace most of the time. The trouble is, you can end up feeling a little forgotten and misunderstood when you try to keep everybody happy. This is your overall story arc for this season of your life since you’re having a run-in with Aries in the South Node right now. There is a culmination of energy which has been trying to teach us all about being assertive and vocalising our needs with, hopefully, patience and empathy from your lovely self.
Scorpio: Your health, routines and daily life will be coming into focus during this Full Moon. This would be a great time to review any areas of your life that could do with some tweaking to feel more supportive. Building a regular routine can be tricky. A helpful tip is to develop a few different routines depending on your energy levels. Try creating a morning routine for low energy, mid energy and high energy and see what happens. It could be your permission slip to give yourself some grace. The Cosy Babes Club podcast by Kloee Taylor has a whole episode on this, so definitely check her out!
Sagittarius: This Aries Full Moon is asking you to play and spend time exploring creative pursuits. Maybe you feel the urge to jump in a pile of leaves, make a clay frog or finger paint. These might be seen as frivolous activities, but this is a time for you to indulge. Your nature deep down is being curious and exploring the world, so you don’t need to do anything specifically, just follow what lights the spark! You may also be feeling a little boxed in or stifled at this time, which is all the more reason to try and find the little joys.
Capricorn: You might be feeling extra cosy, wanting to make your living space as snug and homely as possible. Whatever your situation, if there is one place you can retreat to and call home, you might be feeling called to add a little decoration, maybe going thrifting for some sweet little trinkets or candles to get a nice vibe going. Allow yourself a little treat if you can, or get crafty! Spending time in your home zone will give you a great reset. Alternatively, themes around your roots or ancestry might come up. This can be very healing, if a little confronting sometimes. Stay soft and as grounded as possible.
Aquarius: You may feel like you want to express yourself by writing, or even picking up the phone and having a good chin wag with a loved one. Your communications will come into the spotlight, so be mindful of any misunderstandings and try to make sure you are being clear. Overthinking can come into play at this time, so try to re-direct your energy if you notice this. If your brain is keeping you up at night, you may as well focus the thoughts on something constructive or fun like a creative experiment, and this can be a great way to calm your mind.
Pisces: Many of us avoid talking numbers, but when it comes to our financial security it is sometimes necessary to comb through and fix up any leaks, or clear out any weird energy. A great magick practice is to cleanse your wallet or purse! Take everything out, cleanse it with smoke of your choice, re-organise everything to your liking and if you have cash - put the largest amount face up and crisp so it sees the light a bit more! This is a tip from Manifestation Babe who has a great podcast which could be worth a listen right now if that’s your thing.

My best friend is an Aries and also a metal vocalist, so if the mood strikes you let off some steam with some big sounds! Just maybe don’t do it while the neighbours are in!
