ARIES FULL MOON: Monday, October 6, 2025
The Moon enters Aries at the start of the day, bringing a sense of urgency and the need to act. When the Moon is in Aries, we don’t wait around; we react and push forward. Don’t expect a slow start to this week. Things come up fast. Give yourself room to respond without adding more heat to the circumstances.
At 12:40 pm EDT, Mercury enters Scorpio. Conversations shift and communication sharpens. You’ll notice more of what is below the surface, and you will be more cautious about what you say out loud. This is a good time to listen more than usual and consider keeping your opinions to yourself
The Full Moon peaks at 11:48 pm EDT, bringing weight to the end of the day. Each Full Moon brings an illumination and a release. The Aries Moon insists on directness while the Libra Sun wants fairness. If you’ve been holding in frustration or avoiding conflict to keep the peace, that tension won’t be held in. Let this Full Moon clarify where you’ve kept quiet or compromised too much. Don’t waste time smoothing things over. Say what needs to be said.
- What are you holding in that needs to be spoken about?
- Where have you adjusted yourself too much to avoid conflict?
- What do you see clearly that needs to be addressed directly?
STEP BACK BEFORE ENGAGING: Tuesday, October 7, 2025
The Moon stays in Aries today, keeping emotions quick and reactive. You may feel impatient, especially if things aren’t moving along on your terms or your timeframe. Watch for defensiveness, and don’t confuse urgency with clarity.
At 10:40 am EDT, Mercury squares Pluto. This can be a difficult time with control issues and sharp words coming to the surface. You may want to hold something back that you’re not yet ready to share. Power struggles may show up in subtle ways. If you feel deep tension, pause before you speak. Not every thought needs to be delivered in real time. This is a good day to step back and think before you engage. If something needs to be said, say it clearly. Say it once.
- Where are you trying to push a conversation forward that just isn’t ready?
- Consider what is driving your reaction: information or control?
- What would improve if you said less and listened more?
KEEP THINGS SIMPLE: Wednesday, October 8, 2025
The Moon enters Taurus in the wee hours of the morning, shifting our emotions toward stability and ease. After the push and intensity of the past few days, this gives us a chance to slow down and focus on what is working. Taurus doesn’t respond well to pressure. When the Moon is in this fixed earth sign, it is best to keep things simple and consistent. Do what’s needed, then stop.
Venus sextiles Jupiter at 7:40 am EDT. This is a gentle, beneficial transit that can bring ease in relationships, finances, or creative endeavors. You may feel your spirits lift as you are reminded of the pleasure of simplicity. Let this energy support practical pleasures and grounded connection. A little goes a long way. Watch for opportunities and accept them without question.
- What part of your life gets easier when you stop overcomplicating it?
- Where can you accept something good without second-guessing it?
- What small comfort or connection is available to you today?
PRACTICAL COMFORT & STABILITY: Thursday, October 9, 2025
The Moon continues through Taurus, keeping the pace steady and grounded. The aspects the Moon makes are supportive and encourage connection and kindness. There’s no need to rush or push anything forward. Stick with what’s reliable and what makes sense. You may notice that you feel a stronger pull toward practical comfort and stability. This is a day to enjoy the pleasures of your senses. Prepare a lovely meal, take a long, slow walk in nature, give a massage, or get one. Whatever the day brings, be present; keep your body and your mind in the same place.
- What can you do to care for your body instead of ignoring its needs?
- What simple comfort could you enjoy today?
- What would help you feel more present in your own life today?
KEEP IT LIGHT: Friday, October 10, 2025
Long before you begin the day, the Moon enters Gemini. Don’t wait around for or expect yourself or others to have much of an attention span today. This is not a day for work that requires deep focus. However, you can get a lot done if it involves gathering data or talking to many people about various topics. Handle the quick tasks, keep up with the conversations around you. Follow your curiosity and keep things light and friendly.
If you find yourself feeling scattered, relax and stop trying to do it another way. When the moon is in Gemini, it is best to stay flexible and involved. Don’t try to hold your expectations too tightly. Let the day unfold, one moment at a time.
- What small tasks could clear your mental space quickly?
- Where are you trying to focus when a light touch of flexibility would work better?
- What conversation or idea could shift your mood without much effort?
REALITY CHECK: Saturday, October 11, 2025
The Moon continues through Gemini today, keeping your thoughts and tasks moving forward. On the surface, it may feel like a day built for multitasking and quick conversations. But the tone shifts early, and the undercurrent runs deeper than it first appears.
At 7:10 am EDT, Venus in Virgo comes into opposition to Saturn. This demands that we examine our values and desires with a heavy dose of reality and an awareness of our responsibilities to those we care for. You may be more aware than usual of the gap between the efforts you make and the recognition you receive. You may feel the tension between what you want and what’s actually available. Venus wants connection, comfort, and ease. Saturn reminds you of your responsibilities and the boundaries in place. Pay attention to your relationships and commitments. What are the limits that Saturn is placing before you?
Pay attention to how effort, care, and limits show up in your closest relationships. This is a good day to re-evaluate what’s working and what needs better structure. Let the Gemini Moon keep the day moving, but don’t shirk your responsibilities.
- Where are you putting in more effort than you’re comfortable admitting?
- What relationship needs clearer limits to ensure resentments don’t develop?
- Are your standards supporting you, or weighing you down?
EMOTIONAL SENSITIVITY: Sunday, October 12, 2025
Long before you wake, the Moon enters Cancer, pulling focus toward home, comfort, and the people closest to you. Stay close to what’s familiar. Cook a meal. Take a nap. Check in with the ones who matter most.
When the Moon moves through Cancer, emotional sensitivity sharpens. You may feel more protective, more reactive, or more easily shaped by the tone of the people around you. Give yourself and others a little more room today. Moods shift fast under this Moon. Don’t take it to heart.
What you need might be simple. A little comfort. A little reassurance. A quiet moment to yourself.
- Where do you need to step back and take care of yourself first?
- Who do you turn to when you stop pretending everything’s fine?
- Are you giving yourself the tenderness you’d offer someone else?
