Full Moon in Aries Tarot Reading with the Gold Moon Tarot

Where in my life am I being called to take bold action?

Page of Swords – You are currently in a pattern of learning as you educate yourself on how to do new things and handle new situations in your business. Don’t be shy about reaching out for help in understanding something and applying it to your business and ambitions. Let yourself be educated by others who know more than you do.

How can I shut out any noise or overwhelm without isolating myself?

The Devil Rx – Shun those things that would make you feel ashamed if others knew about them. You have a lot of addictive tendencies, and habits that are formed through them. If you wouldn’t do it while others are watching, you shouldn’t be doing it at all right now.

What would I like to change for myself in 2026?

Queen of Wands Rx – You would like to find a greater balance between enjoyment and your ambitions. What so often happens is that you start doing things you enjoy as a form of income, and suddenly you don’t enjoy them as much anymore. You seek to discover that enjoyment again.

Where have I been hesitating that now needs decisive movement?

Eight of Wands Rx – When you refuse to deal with the past (wands and the eagle are flying in the direction of the past), the past has a tendency to linger on and slow you down. It’s time to make peace with the past so that you can move forward with more alacrity.

How can I channel Aries’ fiery energy into something creative or healing?

Queen of Cups Rx – In relation to the previous question, don’t make it emotional. She will try to do so, but you need to keep things on solid and steady ground, and for you that means not letting your emotions be manipulated or become trip wires.

What boundaries do I need to set to protect my passion and energy?

Three of Wands Rx – Don’t push for more when your plate is already full. It’s important to acknowledge when you’ve reached your limit on how much you are able to put on that plate of projects and responsibilities. Yes, there’s other things that might be intriguing and spark your interest, but it’s okay to put those on the back burner while you deal with the ones that you already have in motion.

Where am I being asked to step into authority?

Nine of Wands Rx – You aren’t. You already have more than enough on your shoulders and often take responsibility for protecting those that don’t even need your protection. There are a number of places in your life for you to lead, and more isn’t needed. Instead, you need to worry about stepping back instead of stepping forward in this area.

How do I balance courage with patience in my current journey?

Eight of Swords (Yes, this deck is fully randomized with upright and reverse cards. For some reason, it apparently just wants to speak in reversals.) – You have a tendency to ignore those things that are bothering you, and this works well for you most of the time. As a result, those things then pass on by without you needing to do anything at all.

You can use this habit to your advantage when balancing courage and patience, as when you decide to just move ahead and “refuse to look”, it can often be just what’s needed to let problems and other scary things in the background work themselves out on their own.

What new beginning am I ready to ignite under this Full Moon?

Knight of Cups – Examine closely those things that have the potential to actually provide you with happiness, and make sure that you’re focusing on going after those things rather than what you “should do” or “have to do”.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Ace of Cups – Remember that it’s okay to feel things, pet. You are not an empty vessel.

Dried Purple Heather Flowers for Independence and Luck
Black Spruce Needles to Boost Self-Confidence and Positive Thinking

Tomorrow morning is the full moon, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us. Today’s spread is courtesy of @HermitsMirror.

Full Moon in Aries Oracle Reading with the Mausolea Oracle of Souls

Fuel: Where have I let my intuition gently guide me that my instincts wouldn’t go?

The Morrigan – How you judge others to be trustworthy has far more to do with your intuition than with instinct or logic. You are not good at reading “tells” and your brain tries too hard to be fair and kind, but your intuition steers accurately despite these obstacles.

Magical peak: How can I celebrate what I’ve completed to keep charging ahead?

Set – Allow yourself to be a bit self-centered now and then. It’s okay to have some pride in your accomplishments.  The boost of self-confidence that celebrating your accomplishments (even the small ones) generates for you will help in motivating you to keep moving forward.

Purging: What latest passion is just a flash in the pan?

Thanatos – Goals and end games come and go. Instead remember that it’s the journey that’s important. This card is a reminder that the future is not promised to us.  Only the present.  Thus, its important to make sure you don’t focus so hard on your goals that you lose sight of all that you can enjoy in this moment.

Clear mirror: How do I use bold action to avoid dealing with what I can’t face?

Arthur – You try too hard to lean into fairness when the world cannot always be fair. Nor is fairness and what’s right always equal. Remember that there will be times when you need to let go of that deeply ingrained urge to make everything fair and balanced, and lean into what’s right instead. This shift in motivation and focus can come off as a sudden divergence from your nature to others, and even to yourself at times.

Dancing luminaries: What does anger teach me about my capacity for love?

Abraham – There has to be balance for love to thrive. That means when anger gets the better of you, you have to apologize and atone.  It’s in your ability to sincerely apologize and atone that you truly display the depths of the love you feel for others.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Arawn – It is time to rally for your own “great hunt”. Don’t shy away from the challenge.  Even if the holiday rush is not as busy as it normally is, it will be busier than you’ve been in some time. Rise to the challenge and lead those helping you forward into the fray with confidence. In doing so, what you will gain will help even out your losses in the end.

Other elements included in this reading:
Dried Hoya Leaf for Inward Exploration
Dried Red Maple Leaf for Adaptability and Connection
Conch Shell Knot for Concentration and Clarity
Carnelian Agate for Warmth and Courage
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

What half truths about myself do I need to acknowledge and release in order to rock my authenticity?

River – Acknowledge that there is strength in submission and surrender. Just as the river bends and turns, flowing to the whims of topography and gravity and yet also carves away at stone and molds the land in its wake, your strength often resides in yielding instead of going against the flow.

How can I tap into my TRUE potential to accomplish my core desires?

Star atop Threshold – Dream high and then put your mind and determination to it. If whatever it is is really what you want and you put your intention into getting there, you will always find a way.

In what aspect of my life do I need to step up to the plate as a leader?

Lioness atop Hummingbird – To lean into positivity and optimism takes trust and courage. When you allow yourself that trust, you show others what is possible. Don’t let your naturally pessimistic tendencies win.

When would I benefit from taking risks and being impulsive?

Artemis atop Brigid – Your space is your to do with as you wish. Don’t let worries about the chaos of changing things hold you back.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Deer – Be kind to yourself. Treat yourself with gentleness and kinship.

Full Moon in Aries Tarot Reading with the Boo Tarot by Célia Melesville

Where do I need to relax?

Four of Wands – At home. Take time to relax and enjoy the home you’ve worked so hard for. You’ve put a lot of time and effort into making your nest happy and comfortable. It’s your refuge and you need to celebrate this, rather than take it for granted.

Where should I focus my fiery energy?

Page of Wands – Every year you return to this time of preparation before the holiday rush, knowing a little more what needs done, and open to learning whatever can help pave the way for an easier season ahead. Now is the time to focus your passion and fiery energy into this area.

Where do I need to take immediate action?

Six of Swords Rx atop Knight of Wands – When it comes to your own life, you have a habit of detecting trouble and stepping away from it to let it sort of self out instead of getting involved. Now it’s not the time to be letting things go. Dive into them instead and deal with them quickly.

Where do I need to retreat?

Three of Wands – Leave behind your baggage, you don’t have time for it right now, and it’s too heavy to wrestle with at this stage in your journey.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The Moon – Do not let your need for rest make you feel uncertain or give rise to your anxiety over “what if’s” and what might happen. Deal with what’s right in front of you instead, and let yourself have the rest and recuperation that you need.

Today is the full moon, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us. Today’s spread is about rocking your authenticity, and brought to you by Sharron Basanti of Seeds of Shakti.

Da Brigh's Dark Tarot - Full Moon in Aries

1. What half truths about myself do I need to acknowledge and release in order to rock my authenticity?

The Hierophant atop Six of Swords – Sometimes you feel the urge to run away rather than deal with things in an adult manner. This is actually natural for everyone, and not something that you need to be ashamed of or beat yourself up about.

2. How can I tap into my true potential to accomplish my core desires?

Queen of Wands – Give yourself the praise and encouragement that you crave, so that you are not looking for it elsewhere.

3. In what aspect of my life do I need to step up to the plate as a leader?

Seven of Wands – You aren’t giving enough praise to those around you. By providing them with praise you are encouraging them, telling them that are appreciated, letting them know that what they contribute is appreciated, as well as putting it out there that they are doing well. This then encourages them to take pride in themselves and their work.

4. When would I benefit from taking risks and being impulsive?

The Tower – When the time to tear things down and rebuild has arrived, impulsivity and risk taking is okay.  It can even be beneficial in these times, to be impulsive instead of strategizing out every single minute detail.

5. Message from the Ancestors.

Five of Swords – Focus on getting ready, for the battle is almost upon you. (aka. the holiday rush)

Tomorrow is the full moon, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us.  Today’s spread is brought to you by Ethony‘s Tarot By the Moon series.

Full Moon in Aries Tarot Reading

1. Where do I need to relax?

Eight of Cups – This is about choice and about my worries about having to set aside my emotional development and progress in order to dive into the holiday rush.  Gideon and I have spoken about this at length, and I understand that I don’t have to abandon that progress.  Instead, I need to find a way to ground it so that I can carry it with me instead of closing it away.

2. Where should I focus my fiery energy?

Eight of Coins – Get to work!  I’m running out of time to get my holiday preparations done and I’ve really slacked off on it this fall more than I should have.  I need to focus my fiery creative streak into the task of getting my work done and building up what needs prepared to make the holiday rush run smoothly.

3. Where do I need to take immediate action?

Justice –  This hearkens back to the last question and has to do with cause and effect. This card stresses the urgency of righting this imbalance quickly before the pendulum swings back in my direction and I am unprepared for it.  Right now the scales are not balanced, and there will be consequences to not getting the preparations done that need done.  The longer I put it off, the more that imbalance will grow and the larger the consequences will be.

4. Where do I need to retreat?

Three of Swords – Stop worrying so much. Stop allowing your mind to influence and freak out your emotions. Take a step back and don’t allow yourself to be so reactionary to the inner dialogue going on.  You know that bastard in your head is a jerk, so just stop listening and move on.

5. Where do I need to charge ahead with?

The Magician – Again we are back to what needs to be done and doing it.  I have all the tools and skills at my disposal and am more than capable of doing what needs done.  Stop procrastinating and put those formidable skills and wealth of tools and knowledge to work.
