Got talents? Of course you do. This is your moment to flaunt them, as the Aries full moon writes you a permission slip. Here are some ideas for tapping into your fierceness with our Aries full moon rituals.
Blending into the background is hardly an option with an Aries full moon—especially when it’s one of the year’s potent supermoons. Brace for some big personalities to take the stage, including your own, while la luna lights up the sky in this firecracker sign.
Aries Full Moon Rituals
1. Unleash your competitive nature
Aries loves to be No. 1, which could raise the stakes for all the competitive types out there. Take a daring leap into the spotlight or claim your place in the winner’s circle! Don’t even think about apologizing for being “too much” if that means you’re out there doing your thing.
One warning: The headstrong Ram can serve up a strong brew of swagger that might verge on narcissism. Know where to draw the line between confident and cutthroat, and when it’s best to just disengage. Not every fight is worth getting into, especially when people are playing dirty.
The only thing the Aries full moon requires is courage. It’s not easy to go first, to speak up when everyone else is frozen with indecision. That’s what being a leader requires; it’s something the self-possessed Ram can teach us under this activating lunar light.
2. Refresh your personal brand
As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries is never afraid to rip up the old model to draft a brand-new blueprint. Is there an area of your life that’s begging for an update? Whether you’re pivoting to a new career or bringing more equity to your workplace, the rule is less talk, more action.
Personal branding is getting a buzz now as the competitive professional space demands that executives differentiate themselves from the pack. No matter how ordinary or basic the activity, HOW you complete the task can be utterly inspired. This full moon invites you to spell out your unique methodology or to add a signature flourish to all that you do. It can be simple, like “that’s the woman with the amazing hat collection,” but it should be something that people remember you by.
3. Pay attention to your anger
Since Aries is the zodiac’s warrior, this full moon may churn up aggression and anxiety. Used constructively, anger can be a helpful touchstone, connecting you to your deep-down source of power and even your profound purpose on this planet. Sometimes, it’s the activator of long-overdue change.
Under this cosmic “lunacy,” buttons are easily pushed, escalating a minor grievance into a bloody battle. Burn off stress instead of burning bridges for this Aries full moon ritual. Boxing workouts are great to release aggression under this full moon—or just whale on a mattress with your fists or a baseball bat. This could move all the pent-up frustration out of your body, freeing up life-force energy that’s been stuck for awhile.
4. Ask and you shall receive
If you don’t ask, you don’t get! The full moon is fired up in the zodiac’s most entitled sign, and it wants to speak to the manager—no, forget that; it wants to talk to the CEO!
If you could: What bold request could you make? Instead of patiently waiting for a promotion, schedule a performance review. DM a venue about booking your band or host a workshop that would appeal to their audience. Simplify your pitch and get straight to the point. Brevity is the soul of wit when impatient Aries is at the wheel!
5. See red
Every zodiac sign is associated with a color and the Ram claims crimson as its hue. Like the qualities of Aries, red symbolizes survival, courage and vitality. Red is associated with the root chakra, which sits at the base of the pelvis and is the first of the seven chakras. This is the energy center that grounds and stabilizes us, much like Aries can be when they rise into their leadership.
If you’ve been hesitant about taking charge or want to reclaim your power, use “cosmic color theory” to fire up your world. Wear something red or place objects in this hue in your line of vision. Check out our Style Horoscopes and Home Decor Horoscopes for inspo for your zodiac sign.
6. Burn it
Are you so over something, but haven’t quite burned it out of your life? The Aries full moon, the first fire sign of the zodiac—wants you to set it ablaze. Cultures around the globe have used fire ceremonies to purge negative energy for thousands of years. This can be as simple as writing down what you’d like to be rid of, then striking a match under the paper. Or maybe you build a bonfire and toss in burnable items that you want to say goodbye to—yes, even if the farewell is bittersweet.
Fire destroys, but as it does, it cleanses. Visualize your pain being consumed and released as smoke, then disappearing into the ether. You might even hold a full moon fire circle with an intentional group.
7. The Walk of Fame
Modesty is overrated! This Aries full moon ritual wants you to check humility at the door and take a self-authorized walk of fame. This is the day to fully own the things you love about yourself and your life. Yes, you’ll be bragging—and why is that a bad thing? It’s not. And this full moon sure isn’t judging you.
For this ritual, devote the day to pumping yourself up. No self-deprecating commentary allowed! For example, maybe you scored a major victory at work. Instead of just texting your BFF the good news, post about it on social media and celebrate with your close friends.
If you’re self-employed, market and promote your services, direct people to your website with photos and links. Consider doing a flash sale or a free introductory offer to generate leads. You could turn a few followers into happy customers. A true win-win.
If you recently remodeled or restyled a room in your home, set up a photo shoot or give everyone on TikTok a tour. Or maybe you’re the canvas and it’s time for a photo shoot to show off the work you’ve been putting in at the gym or your edgy new haircut.
Remember to set positive “do no harm” intentions!
There is an art to this, so before you unleash, check your motives. Are you being vengeful, as in “I’ll show you!” or could your bragging incite a needless round of jealousy? If your actions are pointed to make others feel “less than,” revamp your messaging. Remember, you don’t need to put others down to build up yourself. In its noblest form, Aries wants to inspire, uplift and celebrate individuals. Just visualize Aries feminist grand dame Gloria Steinem or powerhouse Ram Chaka Khan singing “I’m Every Woman.”
The Walk of Fame may require a new way of presenting yourself. If you’re the self-deprecating type, la luna lays down a boundary and calls for a mindset shift. Instead of making a disparaging remark (even as a cynical “joke”) say something nice about yourself instead. When people compliment you, don’t correct them or rush to give them a compliment in return. Instead, say thank you and make eye contact as you smile at them appreciatively. Sure, you might feel like passing out the first time, but we promise, you WILL get used to this!
Other Aries Full Moon Ritual Ideas
- Try a martial arts or boxing class to summon the Aries warrior spirit.
- Feel the fire! Write an angry letter—and burn it (safely) instead of sending it to the person who pissed you off. You’ll be able to express yourself more diplomatically once you’ve unleashed the initial flare of rage.
- Invest in your self-development by signing up for a class or book a private session with a coach or consultant.
