Aries Full Moon 2026

Who is influencing you, really? Better yet, what? When? Where? And why? Is it influencing you?

This week, I kept getting the feeling that influencing was going to come up in media. Almost right away, two of our most well known influencers (Lori Harvey, Kylie Jenner) provided the perfect way for me to draw in my point about why it was coming up. This Aries Full Moon wants use to cut ties with influencer culture and make space for ourselves and our passions collectively and as individuals.

The Aspects:

Sun in Libra 3 degrees opposite Moon in Aries 3 degrees: This is the FULL MOON. Our sign of beauty, glamour, love, and creativity is moving slowly and in the sign of its fall. This is a chatty moon at 3 degrees (Gemini degree). It could bring a plot up mentally or regarding who you’re related with and two. Something that has existed for a long time is either finally find you seeing the beauty of it or rushing towards the trash can to throw it out. Libra, where the Sun shines in its fall, is where we examine what spring/summer when the sun was at its highest points brought to fruition. It’s Harvest Season because it’s the first time things start to slow down in the Astrological year. Right now, we are looking at what we identify with and trying to I make sure it’s real. Sometimes, we get so caught up on the way something looks, we forget to consider how it makes us feel, what it does for us intimately (good or bad) and how it’s presence in our life can become unnecessarily glamorized. Libra loves a show honey! As a Venusian myself I’ve learned many a lesson on what hedonism can do to reality and how it can impact the essence of our beings if we allow it to strip us. This is where the Moon in Aries gets important.

The Moon in Aries is all about action. Yes, Mars will be sitting in its fall and at the amaretic 29 degrees but, Cancer is very much the body in its own right. Cancer is the emotional body to Aries physical body. Right now, you could find yourself needing to check in with both.. Our emotional and physical body are always working together and sometimes one or the other can take dominance’. This moon is tasking you with checking in on how the body is responding to what/who you’ve closely identified with now. It’s giving “THE ICKKK BAD”. The good thing is sometimes the ick is what inspires the motion. If you catch an ick from any noun in your life that arises suddenly, stop and ask yourself what, why and if you've been avoiding it.

Aries Moons conjunct Neptune in Aries: So what about you? How do you feel? What is getting you to act these days. Are you actually doing things you want to do for yourself? Have your been listening to your body? Have you been being ? Have you been giving yourself too much negatively or not enough? Neptune touching the Moon makes things that have been hard to see a lot more clear because of the moon shining its light on it. Neptune is known for making things hazy, stubbornly set in one way, and sometimes dishonest. This is a chance to recognize when you have been unfair to the way you engage in taking action and taking care of yourself. It could also happen that suddenly someone recognizes something in you that makes them more confrontational than what you’ve been exposed to from them thus far and its important to have a cool head should conflict rear its head even if its just within yourself.

The opposition to the Libra Sun is where it’s possible that a relationship has obscured our ability to see ourselves for who we are and what we offer to the world. It’s possible we are so busy relating, engaging, and being influenced that we feel “nice nasty” and play passive aggressive mind games. Without going deeper and finding out what could be foundation of the actions leading us there. There could be what feels like a sudden change in the routine of a relationship that forces our hand to change directions. This can also be a good thing. Give yourself a chance to see your own beauty or be acknowledged and admired for the beauty that others see in you. You also have a chance to restore faith, love and desire into something that had previously lost its luster and now can enter a slow start (Venus is going Retrograde next weekend) that can pay off greatly long term.

Here’s where my influencer rant begins. Last year, i became a Diamond member of Ulta. I am not necessarily ashamed of that, because it’s relevant to this blog post today! Last year, I couldn’t stay out of the store buying makeup. It was insane because I couldn’t stay see myself just buying stuff for no reason but also I just kept seeing things online that I needed to try. While I will absolutely be Diamond another year in a row (Target hasn’t seen me since 2025 and I was only there for skincare that I can find at Ulta anyway also Cecred) I spent some time reflecting and choose to manage myself MUCH better this year. But, it was because of the damn influencers! I did not need nearly as much blush as I purchased last year but nothing beats blush blindness when you’re seeing it everywhere on the timelines. And enter how Lori Harvey and Kylie a Jenner got their names in this post. This week we listened to Lori, terribly describe what she believes a brand to be by stating that it had more to do with the details than the creativity in the building of a new idea itself. Of course the people were in an uproar and honestly it annoyed me too. This beautiful rich girl who has never had to want deeply for anything and hasn’t had the best business ventures of her own was put on a stage at a woman’s empowerment panel event called Create and Cultivate and couldn’t speak to either. Then, there was a 7 minute clip going around of Kylie Jenner flying private to St Tropez alone. These are the women who are influencing us to do Pilates and get 400 cc’s put in our breasts! These women are paid crazy money as “influencers” to show us their lives that are mostly about what they consume. And what have we done collectively? Start drinking matcha everyday, talking in vocal fry, practicing soft glam and makeup no makeup, paying for over priced Pilates classes and workout gear; all this to feel more like infleucners who are exclusively in their positions because of their wealthy fathers. What I’ve decided to do instead of referring to these people as influencers is to call them “consumers”. Influencers are nothing bit glorified consumers and its getting repetitive and annoying because they do not contribute and have no intention to contribute ever. They are only here to indulge themselves through enrichment by way of our attention, engagement and desire to emulate, We have got to turn the tv off on them.

The great thing is, I’ve seen a lot of people discussing influencer culture online this week and discussing divesting but I wonder how many of us actually can/will. It’s really difficult to remove yourself from the culture of online influences because it is being crafted around our interests at all times. We are being held hostage by so many overpowering, dominating influencers of the state and it’s time for us to stop playing nice and prepare to make changes to the way we move as people. The Moon can be a version of commoners and i think there is a lot of power in us choosing to band together (libra) take action that serves us as individuals (no more influencers Aries) and show the people in power who is really in charge (Pluto in Aquarius) I know it’s aspirational and reads well and it certainly types well but, we’ve got to become more organized about what we need to do to keep pair minds in mind.

Mars in Cancer square Chiron Retrograde in Aries: Some time, you have to grow up. Battles should teach us lessons about war and peace. Right now, it may feel as though you’re fighting for both. It’s time to find security in who you want to be. If you’re an adult, and still reacting to the grievances of your parents, teen years, exes from some time ago baby, it’s time to get in front of a lady. The lady is gender neutral and can include: a spiritualist, a licensed physician, a personal trainer, a licensed therapist, a mentor worth a damn. Go to someone with wisdom who is qualified to be giving you a piece. It’s ok to still need someone to hold your hand when you’re learning something new. Resources grow you as an individual, don’t keep yourself small denying that.

Chiron in Aries trine SN in Leo sextile NN in Aquarius: You’re always allowed to create a new version of yourself AND STAY YOURSELF. It can be hard to make internal change but, you get to have multiple versions of being that are all just walks of life that converge into the wise being you are. It’s like an inner software update. The key here is to be accepting if the new version of yourself thats emerging and allow it to be a process. Not one person is ever a finished product but this level up can certainly push you to the next best level. This reminds me of the scene in Euphoria S1E8 when the girls are sitting at the table together and they ask what percentage of themselves they feel like and Hunter Schaffer as Jules says 150 but it could easily get higher.

So, I hope you check in with yourself this full moon by feel and not by force. Take it slow, Aries Full Moons can show increased road rage, real rage and male rage is at all all time high. Pay attention to your infleucners and what their influence brings forward for you.I would save tough conversations for Taurus/Gemini Moon cycle in the upcoming week if possible. Your relationship with yourself and others could be asking more out of you then you feel prepared for, if you need help connect with a trusted resource that can point you in the right direction. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. And if you can, move it! Aries Moons are comfortable in action and a run, walk, weight lifting session, dance moment can save you!

I’m not writing horoscopes for this FM because I don’t feel like it but, I hope you have a good one!
