The full moon in passion powerhouse Aries on October 17 (7:26AM EDT; 24°35’) is also a supermoon, supplying you with drive to achieve a common goal or shine like a solo star. Do it your way, even if people judge. Here’s your horoscope for the Aries full moon.

A wave of flamboyance washes over the world with the annual full moon in Aries—the fifth and final supermoon of 2024—on Thursday, October 17, making us all H.O.T.T.O.G.O!

Audience appreciation is not the point here; self-expression is. Dare to put yourself out there, unvarnished, fully authentic and 100 percent amazing—as YOU define it.

Aries loves to be No. 1, which could raise the stakes for all the competitive types out there. But careful: With the full moon squaring both competitive Mars and power-tripping Pluto, the rivalry could get a bit too rabid. Rather than fighting for headliner status, how about shining a light on other talented souls? That’s the kind of leadership this trailblazing zodiac sign can get behind!

And a warning: This lunation could unleash a wave of pent-up frustration and rage. Hit the boxing bag, vent to your friends, scream into a karaoke mic—just don’t escalate the drama! (No need to add to the intensity that’s coming with Scorpio season, on October 22!)

Dopamine hits are in high supply with an Aries full moon

Want someone’s attention? Make it obvious during the Aries full moon! Heck, use a little shock value if you must. Capitalize on the courage that arrives courtesy of this lunar lift. What will get your pulse racing? Novelty releases a sexy rush of dopamine, which can wake up a stale vibe. Just make sure you’re ready to reap what you sow. This supermoon is also the annual Full Harvest Moon, so that bumper crop is coming in hot.

If your relationship has turned into a snoozefest, ignite magic by doing something unexpected. Surprise your boo with concert tickets, post your creative work on social media (and @ your crush). Tandem skydiving isn’t for everyone, but if it’s your jam, now’s your moment to jump!

A partner is optional during the independent Aries full moon, which resonates at the frequency of self-love. That, of course, is the base ingredient for any relationship, so no matter your status, shower yourself with adoration.

A note about the October 2024 full moon supermoon

A supermoon is a full moon that appears larger and brighter than the typical full moon. What makes it “super” is based on the distance between the moon and the Earth. Depending on the zodiac sign that the moon is in, a supermoon can amplify the astrological traits of that sign.

The October supermoon comes on the heels of the September supermoon—which was also a lunar eclipse in Pisces. Emotions are running higher than usual with these lunations charging us up with feelings. We recommend a little extra emotional regulation near the Aries full moon so that you don’t spin out and react in ways that you’ll regret.
