Happy Full Moon! 🌕
Hi friends 💛 I’m Laura — psychic medium and intuitive astrologer here at Northern Light Lotus.
Whether you’re brand new or you’ve been reading along for a while, welcome in.
Every weekday, I take what’s happening in the sky and turn it into guidance you can actually feel and use — like checking the weather, but for your soul.
And tonight? The sky is putting on an absolute show.
We’ve got a Full Moon in fiery Aries lighting up the night — and it’s not just any Full Moon.
It’s a Supermoon, meaning it’s closer to Earth (and your heart), extra bright, and a bit more intense. 🌕✨
It’s also the Harvest Moon, the one nearest to the Autumn Equinox — a time for gathering, releasing, and beginning anew.
Translation: expect big feelings, bold moves, and beautiful breakthroughs. 🍂🔥
🌕 What This Full Moon Means
Aries is the spark — the sign of courage, independence, and action.
Libra, where the Sun sits tonight, is the mirror — all about balance, love, and connection.
Together, they ask a powerful question:
“Where have I been holding back my truth for the sake of peace?”
You may notice a tug between wanting to keep things calm and wanting to be honest.
This Full Moon lights up that tension — not to cause chaos, but to help you choose yourself without guilt.
Think of it as the universe whispering:
“It’s your time. You can be kind and powerful.”‼️
🔥 The Vibe in the Sky
✨ Mercury just entered Scorpio — words carry more truth now. You might uncover something that helps you finally move forward, or find the courage to speak what’s been sitting heavy in your chest.
💫 Mars in Scorpio brings focus and drive. It’s strong, emotional energy — use it to release tension instead of holding it in. Journal, clean, create, or move. Let what’s been buried come out in healthy ways.
💞 Venus in Virgo sextile Jupiter in Cancer softens everything. It’s the reminder that kindness is medicine — and that showing care (for yourself and others) doesn’t mean shrinking your power.
🌌 Retrogrades — the cosmic slow-down.
Right now, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, the North Node, and Chiron are all in retrograde. That’s a lot of reflection energy beneath this fiery Aries push forward.
It’s like driving with one foot on the gas and one gently on the brake — you can move ahead, but it’s meant to be intentional.
Retrogrades remind us to check in before we charge forward: Does this still feel right? Is this choice aligned, or just urgent?
This Full Moon blends momentum with mindfulness, teaching us that true courage isn’t about rushing — it’s about acting from clarity.
🍁 Spirit’s Message
Spirit says:
“Stop dimming your light to fit in. You’re not too much — you’re finally being true to yourself.”
This Full Moon may stir deep emotions, but it’s not here to break you — it’s here to free you.
The universe and Spirit support you in letting go of what dims your spark — guilt, people-pleasing, or self-doubt — so your light can burn clean again.
💫 How to Work With Tonight’s Energy
Here’s how to make the most of this fiery moon and keep your energy balanced:
🌕 Do a quick release exercise.
Write down what you’re ready to let go of — fears, expectations, comparisons — then tear it up or toss it away to symbolize release.
🔥 Move your body.
Aries energy thrives on motion. Walk, dance, stretch, or tidy your space — just get the energy moving through you.
🕯️ Light a candle.
Watch the flame and say, “I am ready to begin again.” Let it remind you that you can always start fresh.
💧 Balance with water.
After fiery emotions, soothe yourself — take a bath, shower, or sip something warm and grounding.
🌸 Affirmation
“I am safe to choose myself. I can love others without losing me.”
♈️ Now Let’s See What This Full Moon Means for You
With so many planets in retrograde, this Full Moon feels like both a reset and a reflection point — urging us to pause, breathe, and make choices that align with who we’re becoming.
Every sign will feel this energy differently, but all are being asked to let go of what’s heavy and take one brave step toward what feels right.

🌙 From the Cosmos to Spirit
For Those Drawn to This Message
If you’ve felt guided to read this part, these cards are for you.
After exploring how this Full Moon connects with each sign, let’s zoom out and look at the bigger picture.
Beyond the transits and the tension, tonight’s energy carries a deeper message — one that speaks to where we’re heading, not just where we stand right now.
Spirit’s guidance for this Aries Full Moon came through three cards — The Emperor, Nine of Pentacles, and Two of Cups — each revealing a layer of what this Supermoon and retrograde season are helping us grow into.
🔮 Spirit’s Message Through the Cards
The Cards: The Emperor · Nine of Pentacles · Two of Cups
This Aries Full Moon — surrounded by a wave of retrogrades — is helping you become who these cards represent.
You’re not there yet, and that’s okay. This energy is about the becoming, not the finish line.
The Emperor reminds you that personal power doesn’t come from control — it comes from alignment. Under the Aries Moon, you’re learning to take charge of your life from a place of awareness, not reaction. The retrogrades slow your steps just enough to help you see: leadership isn’t about forcing outcomes; it’s about trusting yourself to handle what unfolds.
The Nine of Pentacles shows where you’re being guided to grow next — self-worth, peace, and independence. The reflection energy around you is clearing out old beliefs that said you had to earn your value or constantly prove yourself. You’re shifting from doing to be enough, to simply being enough.
The Two of Cups brings it home — reminding you that love, partnership, and harmony begin within. This Full Moon is healing your relationship with yourself so that your outer relationships can reflect that same balance. When you honor your needs and boundaries, connections naturally become more equal, gentle, and true.
Spirit Message:
“You’re learning that strength isn’t about control — it’s about calm and alignment. What you’re creating now is meant to support your peace and keep you connected to what feels authentic.”
💫 Practical Tips to Anchor the Energy
🌕 Revisit your boundaries. Ask yourself what needs to shift so your daily life feels supportive, not restrictive.
🔥 Move with intention. Do one task today that aligns with the version of you you’re becoming — whether that’s organizing your finances, cleaning your space, or saying no to something that drains you.
💞 Practice presence in connection. When speaking with someone you care about, listen fully before responding. The Two of Cups thrives on mutual understanding.
🌿 Honor rest. With so many retrogrades, progress often happens quietly. Give yourself permission to pause — reflection is part of growth.
🪞 Journal Prompt
“Where in my life am I ready to take ownership again — not through control, but through confidence?”
Write what that looks like in both your inner world and your outer actions.
🌸 Affirmation
“I am building my life with balance, confidence, and grace. I trust my timing, honor my worth, and open my heart to healthy connection.”
🌕 Living in Rhythm With the Aries Full Moon
As the Aries Full Moon rises bright in the sky, remember — this isn’t about rushing your next chapter, it’s about awakening the part of you that’s ready to believe in it.
Let the fire of this moon move through you in ways that feel freeing, not forced.
Rearrange your space for fresh energy.
Write your name on a piece of paper and place it under a candle to symbolize self-renewal.
Go outside and look up — let the moonlight touch your skin and whisper a wish.
Or, do something spontaneous just for you — a walk at night, a playlist that makes you feel unstoppable, a deep breath of cool autumn air.
These small, soulful choices are how you begin to live in rhythm with your own light again.
Carry This With You:
✨ “You don’t have to have everything figured out — just be willing to show up for yourself again.”
Take a breath. You’re not behind; you’re growing.
And this moment is proof that you’re right where you need to be. 🌕🔥
