Tonight's Harvest Moon In Aries Is Begging You To Be Bold & Speak Up

September's full moon in Aries is also known as the Harvest Moon since it falls just two days after the autumnal equinox and the start of Libra season and signifies the completion of the harvest. This powerful reap-what-you-sow lunation invites us to look within and cultivate balance and harmony in our outer and inner worlds, as we simultaneously rekindle the flame of our passions.

At work, you might harness this Aries full moon firepower to get your ideas in front of the higher-ups, or you could take the initiative and write someone you really want to work with a "let's do lunch or coffee" invitation. On the romance front, stop suffering silently through your love joneses. Let your feelings be known in a seductively direct manner. And with the Sun in relationship-oriented Libra until October 23, the Aries full moon marks a moment where big risks yield even bigger rewards in love and partnerships.

The world is crying out for more "peaceful warriors"—and there's no better time to channel outrage into action. From the recent hurricane that left widespread flooding in North Carolina, the massive Super Typhoon that tore through the Philippines, and yet another tragic shooting, this time in Maryland, we need to use this Aries fire to promote love instead of fear.

Aries rules the head, which will come into focus under this full moon. With the radical energies afoot, you might get the urge to make a bold statement and do something edgy with your hair. Shaving your head—if you feel called to do something so gutsy—can feel like a tribal ritual of sorts. You might just buzz a band of hair or, if you're not feeling quite so fearless about your tresses, you could also try a piercing, or treat yourself to a symbolically significant pair of earrings, headband, or even a funky hat. You might try earrings with balancing stones in them. Jasper is stabilizing and can help keep you cool in a conflict. Aventurine stabilizes blood pressure and relieves headaches—something the Aries full moon can boldly intensify.

Aries is the zodiac's most entitled sign, and while too much of this energy can sometimes seem obnoxious, there's something to the whole "squeaky wheel gets the grease" theory. What do you really, really need support with in your life? What have you been too timid to ask for, fearing that people won't like you? The Aries full moon urges you to summon some chutzpah and speak up! Courage is this zodiac sign's specialty, so be a gallant hero for yourself, a loved one, or a cause. What could you ask for today, even in the face of your own fear?

Caution: We're not suggesting you rashly cut people out of your life, or text your resignation to your boss at 3 a.m. Thoughtful consideration is a must before you act! Aries is one of the zodiac's most headstrong signs. Look deep: Is this hotheadedness...or is there truly some merit? Anger is definitely on the rise at this full moon, but the key, however, is not to react but to make a self-affirming and soul-affirming move…to act FOR what you want rather than against what you don't.

Aries is the zodiac's "baby" since it is the first sign. It's never touched a hot stove, had an idea shot down, or second-guessed itself. Much like The Fool card in a Tarot deck, which depicts a merry traveler walking off a cliff, there's an air of blissful ignorance that has its merits. Go into your bubble for a day. Write down whatever you've become jaded, hardened, and skeptical about. Let go of your past, even if you can just suspend it for an hour. What becomes possible for you now?

Aries is the first fire sign of the zodiac, and at the full Harvest Moon, playing with matches can be healing if you burn things that no longer serve you. How about an angry letter filled with things that you need to get off your chest? Write it and light it. How about that picture of a torturous ex? Send it up in flames, just like the relationship! While fire destroys, it also cleanses. So get whatever it is that you're raging about onto paper, or into a heap, and let the inferno purify the energy that's still hanging around. Better yet, get a group together and burn your intentions with friends.
