Aries Full Moon 2026
On September 26, 2026 our Aries Full Moon will exact at 10:48AM MST, with energies perfecting at 03 degrees Aries.
Meditation: What is one thing I can do everyday until the New Moon to evoke the feeling of Driven in me?
Additional Meditation: What is the one thing I can do everyday until the New Moon to help me feel and heal the feeling of Lack of Drive within me?
One of the keywords for the Aries archetype is Drive. The goal here is to release and receive Full Moon guidance on this feeling, while considering and healing old wounds that may block us from fully feeling Driven within ourselves and in the world around us.

The larger picture and cycle of Moon and Sun:
If we consider the larger scope of the cycles of the Moon phases around the Sun, we will find great support and can gather evidence of our healing path through reflecting on our journals and notes along the way. Full Moon phases are the midpoint of the cycle.
The Aries New Moon on April 17, 2026, was the initiation of the new cycle, linked here.
The previous Aries Full Moon on October 6, 2025, is linked here, if you feel called to circle back through the cycle in this way.
Grandmother Moon, please share an aspect of my soul that is coming to light for awareness and healing.
This Full Moon was thankfully very practical and literal. When I take in the fullness of the autumn season, breathing in the cool air, this is the reality check. Even though this Full Moon is conjoined with Neptune in Aries- I do very much mean this is a reality check. In previous writings I have spoken about Neptune energy also sharing to us about the changing realities we all go through in life. How one version of ourselves in the past no longer fits with the version of us that lives today. There I presented the concept that Neptune is not always about illusions and denial of reality, but can also include when our reality shifts. And our reality does indeed shift. We can feel this most notably through the seasons, when Mother Nature takes us through change- and all of these realities of nature are true (that is a very Uranus in Gemini way of holding many truths at once).
Though staying to the point on this Aries Full Moon, in this moment we are taking stock and preparing to flow into the winter season. That reality is coming whether we like it or not. In exactly six months from now we will be with the Aries New Moon- the other side of Winter. When I sit with gardening and cultivation, so much effort and resources are done right now in order to set our dreams and wishes up for spring- we could leave it until spring but there is so much we miss when we do that. That is the process of rest and hibernation. So much happens below the surface during winter, I learned that when I noticed how much certain plants actually grew under the snow (such as sage and creeping thyme). Specific plants and foods need to be planted in the winter in order to grow (such as Lilly and Garlic bulbs), and here I also wonder if it’s not possible to leave all seeds out over winter in the soil.
Before I stray to far on that feeling- the feeling I am really touching on is: do not wait toast this autumn. It’s easier to cultivate the life you want in smaller actionable steps each day than it is to make sweeping changes all at once. I am not saying it is not possible to make sweeping changes, I am reminding myself and others about Ease. In that space of ease I have noticed that I am more tuned into the subtleties, making pivot movements easier to accomplish, making deadlines feel less consuming, and most of all- allowing Mother Nature to take the wheel. That statement is not about giving up personal responsibilities- it is a reminder that we are stewards and caretakers of this planet. She feeds us as we feed her. Allowing her to take the wheel, give us direction and guidance is something every Aries warrior archetype within us can feel- we need to be led, directed, taught, and coached. Who best to fill that role than that of Mother Nature and if you are able to go there- God.
That is why this moon feels so practical, even though the conjunction with Neptune could have you feeling a bit foggy. Though I do believe that even when there is fog surrounding us, we know deep in our soul which direction or action is our next step. We cannot see the other side yet, we have no barring or capacity to know what will sprout with our preparation efforts through this autumn and winter. Yet, the pull to act anyway with what we can under this illuminious Full Moon.
Thank You, I love you
