Six months ago, your intentions ignited a dream. Now it’s time to see what has caught fire.
This Aries Full Moon is the culmination of one of the most potent six-month chapters of the year. The Pisces New Moon back in March was the deep breath before the jump, the prayer before the race, the meditation before the speech, the final moment where we reached beyond the veil into the liminal realms and anchored our dream seeds for the path ahead. And then the Aries New Moon in April struck like a match. This was the first Aries New Moon without an eclipse since 2022. We had seven planets in Aries. All direct. It was go time.
You set intentions then. You declared your desires. You emerged from the chrysalis and decided your ambition was sacred.
Now the Full Moon arrives in the same sign and asks: what caught fire?
September 26, 2026 at 6:49 am HST / 9:49 am PDT at 2° Aries
Full Moons are always times of culmination, celebration and completion. Think of this one like tending a bonfire. Look at what you have built since April. Clear away the ash, the things that have fallen apart and burned through, that are no longer part of the fire. Add fresh logs, reaffirm your intentions, feel into the next chapter of the dream. And celebrate how much has been illuminated & ignited since March & April.
Ruled by Mars, Aries in its quintessence is all about ENERGY. Aries is represented by the Ram, the first sign of the Zodiac, the Cardinal Fire sign. Aries is the spiritual warrior, the hero, the leader, the adventurer, the athlete.
In its healed expression, Aries gives us the energy to pursue our passions and the motivation, drive and determination to take inspired action in the direction of our goals. Outgoing, independent, focused, enterprising, energetic, bold, courageous and fearless.
In its unhealed expression, Aries can express as anger, rage, impatience, recklessness and impulsivity. If you notice these energies arising around the time of this Full Moon, move your body. Aries doesn’t mind how the energy moves as long as it does.
Full Moons always illuminate the house opposite where the Sun is sitting. The Sun in Libra is shining its light on the area of your life governed by relationships, beauty and harmony, while the Full Moon in Aries is illuminating what you are building, fighting for and bringing to completion in the house of Aries in your chart.

ASPECTS TO THE ARIES FULL MOON
- Conjunct (aligned with) Neptune at 2° Aries:
Neptune is the planet of dreams, mysticism, spiritual connection and the invisible realms. With Neptune sitting right beside this Full Moon, the path ahead may not be entirely clear yet, and that is okay. This is not the time to force clarity or push for resolution. Instead, lean into your spiritual practices. Meditate. Rest. Tune deeply into the desires of your heart. Trust that the vision is still alive even if you can’t see all the way to the horizon yet. Neptune says: trust what you feel, even when you can’t yet see what you know. - Trine (supported) by Mars at 29° Cancer:
Mars (the ruler of Aries) is sitting at the very last degree of Cancer at the time of this Full Moon, the anaretic degree, which carries an intensity and urgency all its own. At 29° Cancer, Mars is wrapping up a journey through the sign of home, heart, emotional depth and protection. The motivation coming through right now is deeply felt rather than loudly declared. It comes from the place inside you that knows what truly matters, what you are willing to protect and fight for, what your heart is genuinely asking for. And then, the next day, Mars moves into Leo and everything ignites. The fire trine between this Full Moon and Mars means that whatever is completed & celebrated here is about to receive a powerful surge of creative courage, visibility and joyful momentum. The bonfire is about to get a lot brighter. - Supported by the Barbault Basket:
This Full Moon is also activating the Barbault Basket, this rare alignment of outer planets has been one of the defining energies of 2026. Pluto in Aquarius, Neptune in Aries and Uranus in Gemini are all in harmonious alignment, weaving a web of collective support around this Full Moon. What you are completing and celebrating right now is not only personally significant. It is part of a much larger collective story.
The 25th Gene Key is called The Myth of the Sacred Wound, and it is also known as the Breath of Love. This is the same Gene Key that held the Pisces New Moon back in March, which means something beautiful is completing in a full circle right now.
Back in March, this Gene Key asked us to soften. To breathe. To accept. To trust that the Holy Spirit within and around us was already conspiring toward something magnificent, even when we couldn’t yet see how.
Now, six months later, the Aries Full Moon returns to this same gate and asks us to look at what love has made possible.
The shadow of the 25th Gene Key is Constriction: the places in our lives where we have been holding our breath, gripping tightly, resisting what is. Constriction exists wherever love is absent. It lives first in the body, in the tightening of the chest, the shallowing of the breath, the contracted places we have not yet allowed ourselves to feel fully.
The gift is Acceptance: and it begins with the breath. When we can accept what is, without making it mean something terrible about us or our lives, we find traction again. Anxiety is present. Grief is present. Fear is present. We say it without becoming it. We breathe with it. And something shifts.
The siddhi is Universal Love: the realization that in our true nature, we live with our hearts wide open, and our gifts just naturally and easily tumble out of us.
This Full Moon is asking: where have you been holding your breath, not accepting things as they are? And what becomes possible when you finally open your heart & breathe with this? Be open to miracles this Full Moon!
If you sense that the next octave of your mission is calling, sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is stop trying to navigate it alone. There is a particular kind of alchemy that happens when someone who truly understands the language of your soul walks alongside you. Patterns that have been invisible become clear. Gifts that have been bottlenecking inside you finally get expressed. If you feel the call, I have 3 spaces available in my One on one coaching. I would be so honored to walk beside you as you elevate to your next level.

- Reflect back on March and April of this year. What dreams did you plant? What desires did you declare? What sparks did you ignite?
- Looking at the last six months honestly: what caught fire? What has grown in ways you did not expect? What are you genuinely proud of?
- Where are you still holding your breath? Where is constriction still present in your body, your life or your relationship to your own potential? What would it feel like to exhale completely?
- What is ready to be celebrated? What is ready to be completed? What is ready to be cleared?
- What desire has been living inside you that is finally ready to be spoken out loud?
- Mars moves into Leo the day after the Full Moon. What would you create, share or express if you knew it would be received with love?
My prayer for you for this Aries Full Moon:
May the fire you started in April have grown into something that warms not only you but everyone who comes near you. May you have the courage to look honestly at what has been built and celebrate it fully, without minimizing or moving past it too quickly. May what is ready to fall away do so gracefully, making space for everything that wants to come next. May the dream stay alive in you even in the places where the path isn’t yet clear. May the quiet, fierce, devoted love in your heart be the fuel that carries you forward. And may the next six months become the most boldly, most beautifully, most authentically you chapter yet.
