Full Moon in Aries – September 26, 2026
It's time to take a risk and blaze your own trail with the Full Moon in Aries on September 26, 2026. Pay attention to what spikes your adrenaline, brings a sense of authenticity, and fuels your passions. This Moon is bound to be a fiery one!
Along with that sense of authenticity comes clarity: we'll become keenly aware of what's asking us to bend into versions of ourselves that don't feel true. We'll see, with clear eyes, where we're being asked to sacrifice our needs or compromise our values to make someone else happy.
And in true Aries fashion, we're going to buck the system. If you have significant placements in any of the cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn (especially in the first 10 degrees), you'll feel this Full Moon's energy the most.
This can look like a major shift in your personal life or career. No matter what, remember to always stay true to yourself. The Aries-Libra axis is asking us to find the rhythm between self and others, to balance our desire for independence with our need for interdependence and connection. That push and pull is the theme to watch this weekend.
We're also at the halfway point of the astrological year, just after the Autumnal Equinox, making this a beautiful time for a reset and a homecoming to yourself. Look back at the Aries New Moon from April. What were you starting? What were you creating? See if there's a correlation between where you were then and where you are now, six months later.
This is also the Harvest Moon, carrying all the energy of a harvest: gratitude, letting go of what didn't grow, celebrating successes, absorbing lessons learned, and taking a fresh look toward the future.
In the days leading up to the Full Moon, expect heated emotions, irritability, and even some "meh" feelings, like your motivation just left the room. When something triggers your anger or frustration, make note of it. See if that feeling reflects a violation of your values or personal needs. You might find a correlation there worth exploring!
Overall, this Full Moon is encouraging strength, truth, and self-focus. Remember to choose yourself as we continue into the final quarter of the year!
Here Are Your Horoscopes for the Full Moon in Aries:
Aries: Happy Full Moon! You’ve been working on stepping into your authenticity more this year, and now it’s starting to pay off. At the same time, you may feel more protective of your energy, where you’re spending it, and who you let in on news around your next move. It’s ok to play it close to the vest for a bit!
Taurus: Shadow work season starts NOW! You might feel extra sensitive, but your sensitivities are invitations to step into strength. If you’ve been holding onto hurt feelings or a specific grievance, it’s time to air it. You don’t need to carry anyone else’s baggage.
Gemini: Friendships and collaborations are in sharp focus under the Full Moon, and this is a great time to decide who gets to join you on the next leg of your personal transformation journey. Is your community supporting you? If not, it might be time for a change.
Cancer: It’s time to work on your career, which can feel a little unnerving because you’ve been in a cozier vibe lately. Your professional goals are maturing, and you may feel a boost of confidence and motivation to get out there more. Propose a new project or create a new product for your business or side gig. Step in front of the camera and connect with your audience more.
Leo: You’re going to feel especially expansive this Full Moon, as it highlights the area of your chart that rules publishing, expansion, and travel. Your beliefs may be challenged this weekend. Let them! And take the lessons you learn with you into the rest of the year.
Virgo: The Full Moon is illuminating your intimacy sector. Reciprocity will be a big focus this weekend, and you might feel the need to reclaim your personal power or clarify boundaries. This could happen in a business partnership or financial agreement, or it could show up with a sexual partner or dear friend. When it does, express your needs clearly and with as little anger as possible for the best result.
Libra: This is a great time to collaborate with someone else or start a new relationship (romantic or otherwise!). The Aries Full Moon directly opposes your sun or rising sign in Libra, so you may experience some internal conflict over relationship decisions you need to make. That’s ok! Just stay true to who you are and what you need.
Scorpio: A schedule shift or change in your wellness routine might happen around the Full Moon. The moon might also bring a glaringly obvious realization that something in your habits needs to change dramatically. You’ll become very aware of what’s draining your day-to-day life, but that means you’ve got the chance to change.
Sagittarius: You’ll feel especially creative and romantic this Full Moon. Care for your inner child, nurture your passions, and romanticize your life any way you can. A project or even a love story that’s been developing over the past several months may conclude as you realize what really excites you and lights you up!
Capricorn: Your family and home life are going to become higher priorities, and you may wrestle with reconciling those needs with your drive for public ambition. This could show up as a shift in living situations or emotional patterns, especially those that have been building since April of this year. Let the moon guide you to where you can courageously shift your life.
Aquarius: The Full Moon is impacting your communication, and your words may come out harsher than you mean to say them. Give yourself some time to think about a challenging situation (and what you’re going to say) before diving into it. If you’ve been holding back, don’t be surprised if something pops out when you least expect it! That’s your inner truth speaking.
Pisces: Money and self-worth will be themes for your Full Moon weekend. Call back the energy that belongs to you. Sit down and reconcile your finances. And don’t be afraid to be more protective of your resources and time than you have been lately. Take care of yourself and don’t give energy away to others to your own detriment.
Happy Full Moon, witches!
