What a full moon in Aries means
With the Moon in Aries and the Sun in Libra, this full moon lights the Aries–Libra axis: what started at the new moon in Virgo on September 21, 2025 comes to a head. Aries is a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars; its keywords: pioneering, direct, brave.
Two and a half days of short fuses and quick starts. People act first and explain later, patience is thin, and anything that has been waiting for a push tends to get one. Good for beginning, bad for negotiating.
The instant is the same everywhere; only the clock reading changes. Distances are centre to centre. There is no official supermoon definition: here a supermoon is a full moon with the Moon within 360,000 km of Earth, a micromoon one beyond 405,000 km.
