Something electric is shifting the skies. Do you feel it?

The eclipses cracked open the vaults of destiny, and now the first Full Moon of this new cycle rises in Aries - blazing a path forward and out. This isn’t an ordinary lunation. It’s the ignition point of a year-long clearing - a sacred bonfire where contracts, timelines, and stories that no longer serve are turned to ash.

If you’ve been feeling the tension between what’s ending and what’s aching to begin, this moon is your invitation to step fully into the flame and let it do its work.

The Full Moon in Aries kicks off a whole new year of full moons. It rises like a torch through the darkest and most impenetrable of densities as a fierce, untameable baptism of fire.

Luna comes emblazoning the night sky, enrobed in the fires of cardinal energy that the first sign of the zodiac is famous for. Aries is both initiator and initiation - the sign of pure will, raw impulse, and unfiltered devine courage.

When expressing Herself through Aries, Luna does not whisper. She declares…and then she commands movement.

This is not a soft moon. It is a moon of ignition - a spark to the tinder of all that was decided, dismantled, and rewritten through the eclipses that carved open our paths in the past month. Where the eclipses brought revelation and reckoning, this moon brings activation. It lights the fuse. And ready or not…what was held to task will be coming down.

We are entering a year of clearance by flame, a sacred burning of all that no longer fits the frequency of our becoming. The next six months - from this Aries Full Moon through to the March Equinox and New Moon in Aries - will unfold as a cosmic purification. Every false identity, every lingering attachment, every unhealed knot in the timeline will come forward to be met, moved, or melted away.

This is the first Full Moon of a brand-new annual cycle, and the first to blaze in Aries since the nodes shifted from the Aries-Libra axis into Pisces and Virgo. The battlefield gives way to the temple. Fire yields to water and earth - but not before one last sacred burn clears the ground. The universe is re-calibrating its axis. The old contracts are expiring. The stage is being reset.

You may already feel the acceleration. Endings that have hovered for months now arrive in a rush. Decisions are made in seconds. Conversations erupt that finally cut the cords that have quietly strangled growth. Doors close - and instantly - new ones swing open. Old stories are surrendered and suddenly ancient gifts and pathways are rememberEd and restore.

Mars, the ruler of Aries, is dancing with Lilith in the deep waters of Scorpio. Together, they are summoning every buried resource, every suppressed truth, every stolen fragment of power back into rightful circulation.

This is reclamation. The debts are being called in. The hidden gold is being unearthed. Blocks are clearing…for as quickly as we allow them to.

The element of fire teaches us that resistance only prolongs the pain. When we fight the flame, it consumes us. When we open to it, it transforms us. This is rapid alchemy - instantaneous, electric, and sometimes uncomfortable…especially when we resist its flo.

If you feel the pressure, the heat, the anxiety rising, know that it is the residue of what wants to leave your field. Aries energy will not tolerate stagnation. It refuses to be domesticated. It wants to move through you, to free the life force that has been dammed behind walls of fear, guilt, shame, false security, and outdated loyalty.

This lunation continues in the work that Virgo ignited, and sodemands radical honesty.

Where have you been clinging to a version of yourself that no longer exists? Where have you delayed the inevitable out of obligation, fear, or comfort?

Aries is the first flame - the child of the zodiac, the pioneer, the warrior who moves because life itself demands expression. It does not need validation. It does not wait for consensus. It trusts the impulse because the impulse is devine intelligence in motion.

Under this full moon, courage and conviction are currency. Unyielding loyalty to your I AM truth and power open gates you can only walk through in your sovereignty and reclaimed story.

Your willingness to act on what your soul already knows will determine how gracefully you navigate the next phase. Every step taken in authenticity sets a new template for the collective. Every act of self-liberation sends ripples through the field, freeing others to do the same.

The Purge of False Persona

We are shedding masks at lightning speed. The old stories that once defined us now crumble under the weight of our own expansion.

The archetypes we once played — the healer, the warrior, the saviour, the scapegoat - all dissolve in the flames of truth. And not yet being wholly who we are - while letting go of who we had to be to survive - puts us in this state of limbo that is uncomfortable as fuck…but necessar.

Aries reminds us that identity is not something we must protect; it is something we continually rebirth. Aries reminds us that before any identity was forged we already were. It takes us back to the “I AM” principle - where true security lies and every cosmic makeover and upgrade becomes possible as we remember our infinite possibilities.

This moon invites us to meet our reflection in the fire and say: “I relinquish everything that is not alive in me anymore.”

The pain of this release is temporary, but the freedom that follows is eternal.

There is holiness in this heat.

The Full Moon in Aries is not a destructive blaze. It is a refining flame - burning away distortion and illusion so the diamond of the true self can shine through. In truth, nothing real can be lost. Only the false can burn.

Surrender to the flame.

Let it move through your body, your breath, your timelines. Let it purge what no longer belongs, and return your essence to its rightful radiance. For the fire is not here to punish you. It is here to remember you.

And as the sparks rise into the night sky, they carry a simple message from Source: “Be who you were before fear taught you to be small….which is never what you were created to be.”

Move. Speak. Burn bright. Begin again. Remember who you were - before this world of smokescreens and mirrors - taught you to forget.
