Super Full Moon in Aries 10/6/25
Into the Fire
Last month’s eclipses were about revelation. Uncovering. The shocks of reality and the consequences of choices. These cosmic disruptions are not punishments but wake-up calls meant to get our attention. The question is never simply what was revealed, but what we will do with what we now know.
Do we pause, assess, and let ourselves truly see the problem? Do we allow ourselves to recognize where we may be part of the problem? Or do we fall deeper into righteous polarity and toxic tribalism?
I get it. Human brains hate uncertainty. It feels unsafe, exhausting, disorienting, like standing on shifting sands. Our biology craves the comfort of certainty, even when it’s false. This isn’t a flaw of the mind but a feature of it. And yet, in times of turmoil and chaos, that very feature becomes our greatest vulnerability.
If I can convince you that certainty belongs to me, I can control you. If you feel afraid, and I hand you a scapegoat, I can control you. If I channel your anger toward “the other,” you don’t have to feel your own grief. Psychology calls this projection. In coercive control, it becomes a form of manipulation. Propaganda relies on exploiting this liability of human nature.
Which is why, in moments of deep division, the most vital question may be: Who benefits? Who benefits when we turn on one another? Who profits from rage and hate? Who are the conflict entrepreneurs and fire starters?
Enter Aries.
Aries is the fire of anger, conflict, and assertion, but also the force of creation. It asks us to examine the eternal tension between “me” and “we,” between autonomy and cooperation. Aries teaches that true relationship is not self-erasure in the name of peace, nor domination in the name of independence. It is the dance of wholeness and interdependence, where we can stand firmly in ourselves while recognizing we belong to something larger.
This Full Moon whispers: there are times to bend, and there are times to rise unyielding. This is the latter. What was revealed in the eclipses now demands response, not reaction, but conscious action. Aries is the warrior who leaps forward, the spark of initiation. Its gift is momentum.
But fire must be tended wisely. Unchecked, it scorches. Guided, it warms, protects, and lights the way.
At its best, Aries embodies the inspired light of leadership. It is an assertion that uplifts, boundaries that protect life, and conflict used as a forge for transformation. Conflict, in its higher octave, is not violence but the heat that burns away illusion. It is friction that sharpens clarity, the refusal to collapse into passivity when something vital is at stake.
But wounded Aries forgets the light and turns its fire toward destruction. It becomes domination, aggression, conflict for conflict’s sake. It lashes out, mistaking reaction for response, force for power, victory for growth. In its shadow, Aries fights to conquer rather than to create, to burn down rather than to illuminate.
Perhaps, then, our task is to turn our fire not against one another, but against the very fire-starters who profit from division. To name the conflict-entrepreneurs for what they are and refuse to feed their flames. To resist the seduction of blame, projection, and denial. To fight for cooperation rather than conquest. To choose understanding over othering, truth over propaganda, and connection over fear.
Because make no mistake, there is a vested interest in our divisions. Chaos is profitable. Hatred is marketable. The louder we shout at one another, the easier it is for those in power to move unseen. And so the greater act of courage may be to join together, to refuse the bait of separation, and to stand as one fire—fierce, illuminating, unbreakable.
And This Brings Us to Courage—Another Force of Aries
Courage does not mean the path will be easy, or that fear will vanish. Courage means we will act, even when afraid. Externally, it asks us to stand against hate, cruelty, and divisiveness. Internally, it asks the same.
Do we have the courage to be radically accountable?
To admit when we are wrong, and even change our minds?
To confront our own biases instead of projecting them?
To pause before reacting, and respond from integrity instead?
To let fire refine us, not consume us?
This Aries Moon dares us to rise not as conquerors, but as leaders of the heart. To wield conflict as a tool for truth. To choose courage over certainty. To burn not for destruction, but for light.
And what a light it will be. This is not just any Full Moon. It is the Hunter’s Moon, and the first of three consecutive Supermoons in 2025. Rising as the largest and brightest full Moon of the year, it commands the night sky with undeniable presence. The Hunter’s Moon has always been a time of preparation, of gathering what is needed to sustain us through the darker season ahead. Under its glow, we are reminded that illumination is not just for revelation, but for guidance.
This Supermoon in Aries is a call to remember that courage is not loud bravado or reckless charge. True courage is steady, rooted, clear-eyed. It is the willingness to act with integrity when it would be easier to remain silent. It is the fire that clears space for new growth. It is the light that reminds us we are not alone.
As the Hunter’s Moon blazes overhead, may we gather courage the way our ancestors once gathered provisions. May we harvest clarity, integrity, and truth. And so we step forward—not in fear, not in division—but in the fierce, luminous spirit of Aries, hearts ablaze with courage, carrying the flame of hope to light the way through the dark.
