A Full Moon That Dares Us to Let Go

This is no ordinary Full Moon—it’s a Super Moon, closer to Earth and shining brighter in the night sky. When Luna swells large, our emotions rise with her, pulling us into clarity, courage, and release.

Aries, ruled by Mars, is daring, impulsive, and fiery—a sign of bold beginnings and warrior spirit. But this Full Moon doesn’t stand alone. Mars, currently traveling through his other domain of Scorpio, lends the Moon an extra charge of power, intensity, and depth.

Think of it as Luna borrowing strength from her “landlord,” with Mars adding an undertone of fearlessness and truth-telling.

This lunation asks: What is holding you back from the freedom you crave? What attachments bind you to the past, and are you ready to loosen their grip?

Woman on a hillside bravely releasing her attachments, before an Aries Full Moon — What are you brave enough to release?

Aspects of the Aries Full Moon

This Full Moon creates a web of sacred geometry in the sky:

7/16 Venus in Virgo – Love, beauty, and refinement ask us to bring discernment and care into our relationships and creations.
Triseptile Mars in Scorpio – A fated, mystical turning point; a call to action that feels destined.
Semisquare Uranus in Gemini – Restlessness, surprise, and the need for a new perspective.
Quintile Pluto in Aquarius – Creative transformation; breakthroughs in how we hold power and possibility.

Together, these aspects urge us to be brave enough to confront what is ready to end and wise enough to recognize the openings that follow.

Closing Reflections

Beloved, remember—we are still in the Virgo Solar Eclipse lunation, even though eclipse season itself has ended. The Solar Eclipse two weeks ago set the signature for this cycle. Its theme lingers, asking us to refine and release.

This Aries Full Moon shines a spotlight on our attachments—our “Precious,” as Gollum so famously called it in The Lord of the Rings. It’s natural to desire, to care deeply, to want certain outcomes. But the deeper question is: How attached are we?

Attachments can keep us stuck. They drain our energy, limit our freedom, and obscure the bigger picture. This Full Moon, supported by Mars in Scorpio, dares us to go deep, to bravely face what we cling to, and to let it go.

As the Moon begins to wane, I invite you to contemplate:
