This Year’s Final Super Moon! Aries Full Moon Relationship Test: Love is the Reward for the Brave

The Aries Full Moon: A Cosmic Finale and New Beginning

On September 29th, coinciding with the Mid-Autumn Festival, we welcome this year’s final Super Moon—the powerful Aries Full Moon. This marks the third Aries lunar phase of the year, following the Aries New Moon on March 22nd and the Aries Solar Eclipse on April 20th. Before we delve deeper, take a moment to reflect: what wishes did you set during those earlier Aries phases? How have they manifested in your life?

The Spring Equinox represents the astrological new year, a time when we plant seeds of intention. The vibrant, life-affirming energy of Aries, nourished by time, gradually sprouts new growth. As this Aries Full Moon illuminates the sky, consider how these seeds have brought fresh vitality to your journey.

The Cosmic Dance: Aries-Libra Axis Activation

At 5:58 PM, the Moon reaches 6° Aries, forming an exact opposition with the Sun in Libra. The ruler of this Full Moon, Mars, also resides in Libra, setting the stage for the upcoming Libra New Moon Solar Eclipse. The Aries-Libra axis has been prominently emphasized in recent celestial events, bringing themes of conflict versus harmony, independence versus collaboration to the forefront.

Those with personal planets or angles in cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) between 3°-9° will feel this lunation most strongly.

This Aries Full Moon represents both an ending and a beginning—the completion of a lunar cycle and the culmination of this year’s Aries phases, yet simultaneously carrying Aries’ inherent initiating energy. Even if you don’t recall what seeds you planted during previous Aries transits, this Full Moon offers a powerful opportunity to tap into your creative forces and plant new intentions for our changing world.

Relationship Dynamics: Beyond Winning and Losing

With no other planetary aspects involved, this lunation focuses purely on the Sun-Moon opposition, stripping away distractions and forcing us to examine the fundamental Aries-Libra dynamic. Both signs seek recognition and justice, but through different lenses: Aries seeks self-validation while Libra seeks validation from others; Aries charges forward assertively while Libra seeks balance and harmony.

We must also consider the 1st-7th house dynamic—the axis of self versus other. Imagine a seesaw where the ideal state isn’t static balance but dynamic equilibrium. When Aries/1st house energy dominates, we become overly self-focused, potentially viewing others as adversaries. In relationships, this manifests as demanding our partner conform to our concept of “rightness” through various methods and techniques—effectively turning them into an opponent.

Conversely, excessive Libra/7th house energy causes us to over-invest in others at our own expense. We place all our eggs in one basket, risking complete loss if that basket disappears. In doing so, we lose not just the relationship but ourselves.

Relationships don’t have winners and losers. Choosing between self (1st house) and other (7th house) might feel like victory, but ultimately both parties lose. True relationship success only exists as mutual victory—otherwise, both lose.

From “Me” and “You” to “We”

With Mars in Libra accentuating the Libra energy, we experience the tension between Aries’ “I want” and Libra’s “They want.” But why must these be oppositional? Why can’t they become “We want”?

If the conflict seems irreconcilable, Aries energy encourages you to firmly choose yourself. However, most “I want” and “They want” situations aren’t fundamentally incompatible. The 1st-7th house lesson reveals that when we only develop one end of the seesaw, we perceive a distorted reality from imagined truths.

The mature approach recognizes that differences don’t equate to conflict. If you prefer apples and your partner prefers bananas, this doesn’t mean they don’t love you, nor does it require you to abandon apples to earn their love. The balanced solution allows both preferences to coexist—you enjoy your apples while accompanying them to get their bananas.

Both “I want” and “They want” are fulfilled, creating “We want.” Through relationships, we continually experience and understand ourselves while recognizing the parts we project onto others and refuse to accept. This journey toward wholeness gradually balances the relationship axis toward mutual victory.

Aries Energy: Igniting Action and Courage

Aries energy resembles a dancing flame—always moving upward. In astrological terms, the zodiac signs represent twelve rivers carrying various materials toward Pisces’ oceanic consciousness. While Pisces (embraces all things), it also returns excess sediment to land. Aries emerges from this ocean as individual consciousness arising from collective unconsciousness.

Aries energy awakens life force because it represents the first sign emerging from winter into spring. To separate from Pisces’ unity and find direction from the boundless ocean requires tremendous strength. As an energy peak, the Aries Full Moon activates our potential to manifest ideas into reality.

As a fire sign, Aries inspires others. This Full Moon’s energy encourages courage to attempt things we normally avoid. Aries reminds us: “Spring nights are brief, and long dreams abound. If you have wishes to fulfill, why not stride forward boldly?”

If unsure where to begin, consider Aries/Mars-preferred activities like exercise. Physical movement awakens our bodies, willpower, and capacity for action. Then—start running!

Rewriting Your Relationship Script

Although this Full Moon lacks other aspects, the Moon’s ruler (Mars) forms a harmonious sextile with the Sun’s ruler (Venus)—creating a celestial “pas de deux” between the two planets.

Mars in Libra, though in detriment, brings a peaceful strength. We’re inclined toward gentle negotiation rather than aggressive confrontation. This Mars might want to bare its claws, but Libra’s influence transforms turbulence into spring breeze-like stability.

Venus in Leo, though recently retrograde, now direct helps us better utilize Leo’s creative energy to ignite new sparks. The Venus-Mars dance creates opportunities for relationship adjustment.

As humans, we inevitably navigate various relationships—a key focus in current astrological patterns. However, our relationship patterns often carry intergenerational inheritance. How we handle challenges, conflicts, and crises typically mirrors what we learned from family and parents, while our stress responses developed over decades of conditioning.

The saying “character determines destiny” persists because changing our (cognition) and breaking patterns proves difficult, causing us to repeatedly “repeat past mistakes” and succumb to so-called fate. This celestial configuration serves as a gentle reminder—like a breeze or drizzle entering our lives (Mars) while bringing creative new ideas (Venus)—allowing us to challenge existing, rigid cognitive patterns.

With other transits supporting, some might glimpse beyond their limitations and rewrite their destiny script. Recall what happened in late July that sparked thoughts of change. Now presents another small opportunity to advance that change—seize it.
