Full moon in Aries · peak illumination — the instant the Moon sits exactly opposite the Sun
This is a supermoon — at peak the Moon is only 356,829 km away (within the closest tenth of its range), so it looks a little larger and noticeably brighter than an average full moon.
This full moon is also a total lunar eclipse — a blood moon — the Moon crosses Earth's shadow (magnitude 1.65). In totality the Moon turns red: the only light reaching it has been bent through Earth’s atmosphere — every sunrise and sunset on Earth at once. Astrologers read an eclipsed full moon as the emphatic version of the month's reveal.
A full moon in Aries
A full moon in Aries tends to surface impatience — the thing you have been waiting to say or do wants out. The useful version is decisiveness; the less useful version is picking a fight to feel something move.
