This full moon may bring more to the surface than you expect. With Neptune close to the Moon and Mars stirring up Chiron, it’s a moment for intuition, honest reflection, and healing.
Andrea Laub of Hands of Iris, Mastering the Soul’s astrologer, shares her take below. Give it a read and see what speaks to you. ✨
Aries Full Moon: Dreaming Our Potential (September 26, 2026)
The Aries Full Moon carries a parallel energy to two weeks ago, when Mercury entered Libra during the New Moon, throwing our relationships onto the forefront of our minds. Once again, we are facing our conflicting ideals versus the heavy needs of others.
A new awareness is surfacing from the depths regarding our core ideals and what actually aligns with our true selves. There is a newfound openness in our connections right now; we feel free to display our inner visions for others to see. The things we have been quietly chewing on, we are finally expressing out loud (regardless of outside opinion).
The Double Kite & Cosmic Friction
We are swimming in a Double Kite configuration.
Previously, an air kite formed between Uranus, Pluto, and Mercury, bringing sudden insights, flashes of genius, and new perspectives on how we relate to others. Now, the Sun has stepped in to replace Mercury.
We are no longer just thinking about it—we are actively reflecting on how this new mindset makes us feel, what it tells us about our identity, and we are expressing it consciously.
At the same time, a second loose kite forms between retrograde Pluto in Aquarius and Mars at the apex in Cancer in opposition, square to the Sun in Libra and Uranus retrograde in Gemini. We may find ourselves stewing on unexpressed resentment right now. Self-defensiveness can cause these brewing emotions to be expressed in a passive-aggressive way as we attempt to ease the tension of shifting power structures in our lives. This internal frustration is fueled by these retrograde outer planets transforming our awareness within social structures, causing deep unease as we fight for our uniqueness.
Chiron & The Quicksand
With Chiron retrograde in Aries again, our raw identity wounds are being exposed. Perhaps in a radical way, where our desire for Libra harmony is directed through unexpected or abrupt means towards shattering a false sense of peace just so we can finally choose ourselves.
Once again, the heavy air trine might leave some of us feeling way too "in our heads," scattered, or totally spacey.
It is incredibly difficult to build on quicksand without Virgo’s practical earth energy to help us break things down into tangible steps. It might feel like your grand vision lands in your head all at once, leaving you struggling to maintain that vision while simultaneously balancing the demands of your relationships. Unless acted upon in haste.
An Inward-Facing Shift
Because the outer planets are retrograde, this Full Moon is deeply self-reflective and inward-facing. What is shifting is our actual mindset. We are moving away from purely communicative expression and stepping into a felt ideal of how we show up in relationships. We are dreaming of our ideal selves and reflecting on past relational patterns.
At its best, this is a highly social Full Moon where we don't feel the need to hide who we are. It is an invitation to show your more imaginative, playful self to the world.
How to Honor this Full Moon:
Be overjoyed and overflow with imaginative play. Dance around a fire. Let your inhibitions soar.
Jupiter in Leo is playful, dramatic, and creative. Neptune and the Moon in Aries are dreaming up your ultimate potential. It is completely okay to be a little "delusional" for this Full Moon—give yourself permission to make-believe. As long as you aren’t stepping on anyone else’s toes, let yourself dream.
