Aries Full Moon Ritual Guide

The Aries Full Moon this week is encouraging us to face our fears, let go of limiting beliefs and celebrate ourselves. Embrace this fiery energy and take action as ambitious Aries wants us to just go for it. Like Wayne Gretzky said, “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” Filled with intense energy, the Aries Full Moon activates a T-Square with Mars the planet of action, Pluto the planet of transformation, and Eris, a dwarf planet named after the Goddess of Chaos and Discord - not to be messed with. With that feisty bunch in tow it’s likely we can expect a little bit of tension brewing in our skies this week. Tension builds action however, so this is a great chance to get things going.

That’s not all that is going on in the cosmic weather this week, if that tense T-Square wasn’t enough to stir some emotions, four planets that have been in a recent retrograde backspin, Mercury, Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn are all stationing direct and propelling us forward. It’s time to integrate the learnings we have encountered during the last few months and put them into practice.

It is also good to be aware of the polarity that exists with all Full Moons. Consider the balance of the Moon (how we feel) in the “me” sign of Aries versus the Sun (how we show up)  in the “we” sign of Libra. During this combination of forces, set boundaries, speak your truth with absolute clarity and take action without any ego. Take this week as an opportunity to be decisive, to grow and learn.

This moment may feel a little intense, but you can harness the potent power of this fiery moon to find creativity in chaos and make your dreams come true.

Follow our ritual guide below to make the most of it…

Power dress for the occasion

Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of action and is associated with the self, your passions, goals and ambitions. Dress up in something that makes you feel powerful, perhaps add a dash of red for extra fire energy vibes. Then turn up the tunes, be it dirty disco or heavy metal, find the music that’s right for you and turn your space into a dance floor. Burn off all the intense energy - truly let go and celebrate wonderful you. Dance like nobody's watching, (or everybody is if you’re a Leo).

Create your ritual space 

Once you’re done moving and shaking, prepare your space for ritual. Gather crystals, cushions and blankets to make yourself comfortable and grab your journal or pen and paper, incense and a bowl of water. Light 4 candles and place them in a square around you. Each of the candles represent tonight's T Square - Aries Moon, Pluto planet of transformation, Eris Goddess of Chaos and discord, and Mars planet of action.

Full Moon Journaling Practice 

Next, take your pen and paper and draw 4 boxes, a cosmic quadrant if you will, and add a journal prompt for each box:

Aries Moon - What do I most want?

Pluto - What am I afraid of? What can I let go of?

Eris - What boundaries do I need to set? 

Mars - What aligned actions can I take this month?

Answer these questions truthfully, writing for as long as you wish, let the words flow, make sense of them as you go. Remember all thoughts are valid and all dreams are doable. 

Light the incense representing the Libra Sun. As the smoke curls around you, channel the zodiac sign of Aries and whisper to the smoke all of your goals and dreams. Let the universe hear your hopes, by speaking these out loud you’re starting the first steps to making them become real.

Candle Magick 

Take some time to settle into stillness, gaze at the candles’ flames, watch them flicker and dance. Take some deep cleansing breaths in and out and then repeat this Libra Sun, Aries Moon mantra - I am powerfully balanced, and I am worthy of good things.


To complete the ritual, if you feel called to, tear your cosmic quadrant into 4 equal pieces and burn them in each of the candle flames (be careful to do this safely, have the bowl of water nearby to extinguish any flames) if you prefer, go outside and burn the paper in a heat proof pot under the full moon light and enjoy a spot of moon bathing. 

Happy Aries Full Moon Darlings
