💡The Meaning of the Super Moon in Aries

The Super Moon (Hunter's Moon) in Aries occurs on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, at 04:47 BST, at 14°08′ Aries.

I've named this one 'War of the Roses', with Aries warmongering and Mars in Scorpio building the intensity. The Libra sun symbolising the the relating element and role of compromise

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac—the spark, the initiator, the warrior. Ruled by Mars, Aries embodies desire, courage, instinct, initiative and the drive to act. It’s the archetype of the pioneer, the one who dares to go first, who values authenticity over approval and action over hesitation.

This Supermoon amplifies Aries’ primal energy:

Independence and self-leadership.
Passionate pursuit of personal truth.
The courage to begin again.
A visceral connection to instinct and desire.
Our self identities.

As per all Full Moons, this is a completion/culmination/ending event.

Let's look at the shadow side of the signs and then break things up into more detail.

🌓 The Shadow Side of Aries

Every archetype has its shadow. Aries, when unbalanced, can become impulsive, combative, selfish, or self-centred. The shadow emerges when the desire to assert becomes domination, when courage turns into recklessness, or when independence isolates.

Under this Supermoon, watch for:

Emotional volatility or sudden outbursts.
Impatience with others’ pace or needs.
A tendency to bulldoze rather than collaborate.
Fear of vulnerability masked as bravado.

This is a moment to honour the fire without letting it scorch your relationships or inner peace.

🔄 The Aries-Libra Axis: I Vs Us

With every Full Moon we have two signs in opposition, asking us to consider the dynamic between them.

This axis governs the first and seventh houses in traditional astrology—identity and partnership. It’s where the raw impulse of Aries meets the refined grace of Libra. Together, they teach us how to be fully ourselves and fully present with others.

♈ Aries: The Self

Ruled by Mars, Aries is bold, instinctual, and fiercely independent.
It represents the initiation of identity, the courage to say “I am.”
Aries acts first, asks questions later. It’s the fire that fuels personal growth and self-assertion.

♎ Libra: The Other

Ruled by Venus, Libra is relational, diplomatic, and attuned to harmony.
It represents the mirror of partnership, the wisdom of “we.”
Libra seeks balance, fairness, and beauty in connection—but can lose itself in the process.

Ruler Mars in Scorpio (10°)

Both link to the desire. Mars sparks a flame and Scorpio is gasoline. If it is war we be having, then the tops of the roses will be black with this setup.

Actions will be strategic, missile-like and a final. If you've been holding emotions, then expect them to be released. If you are meant to transform yourself and your relationship, then the poison must rise to the surface first. Otherwise things will burn to a crispy end.

Use this energy smartly. Own and declare your truths. The full truths. There are no half measures with Scorpio.

Super Moon in Aries aspects to other planets

The Moon forms several key aspects:

Moon conjunct Ceres (8 Aries)

Ceres here highlights self-care. How we nurture ourselves. Fertility, crops, and the harvest.

Aries provides the courage to get in touch with what nurtures our souls. What is fertile and can be worked on. The association with identity and honouring who we are as a form of care.

What else is happening?

Pluto stations direct (Oct 13): Transformation intensifies. Power struggles may surface, but so does the drive to make lasting change.
Jupiter square Chiron (Oct 23): A longer-term transit challenging belief systems and personal philosophies. Expect crises of faith or clarity around what truly aligns.
Neptune retrograde returns to Pisces (Oct 22): A dreamy, introspective shift. Spiritual themes resurface, and illusions may dissolve.
