The first full moon of fall occurs on September 26 at 12:49 p.m. Eastern Time. The harvest moon is the lunar phenomenon closest to the fall equinox, which was on September 22. The golden light in the afternoon reminds us to appreciate the abundance the Earth provides and honor its beauty.

Full moons end the monthly lunar cycle, promising closure and restoration of intentions brought on from the new moon. Manifesting our desires will bring hope and happiness for the coming months—listen to what your heart wants, and release it to the universe to help it happen.

The polarity between the sun in Libra and the moon in Aries is a juxtaposition between “them versus me.” Selfishness isn’t always a bad sentiment—we should make ourselves a priority. The moon in Aries dictates that we are the main character in our lives. After months of generosity, we need extra attention and affection. We are the person who’s going to give it to ourselves—no one else will.

The full moon in Aries unites with defiant Uranus retrograde in Gemini, dreamy Neptune retrograde in Aries, and evocative Pluto retrograde in Aquarius. The outer planets supply a boost of fortitude to the overall effect of the Harvest Moon—but we have to face our fears first. Once we overcome the past, we can begin to build a courageous vision that ushers in change. Impulsivity might cause issues, so don’t react immediately. Ease up!

Read your full harvest moon horoscope below, broken down by every star sign.

Aries

If you are extra sensitive and protective of who you bring into your peer group, it’s because the cosmos wants you to get to know others properly before allowing them full access. It’s vital to limit the number of people you trust until they show you that they’re worthy of your warmth and loyalty. Quality over quantity, Aries.

Taurus

The full moon is a moment to pause and reflect, which is tricky for someone with as much gusto as you. Download a meditation app and surround yourself with healing crystals to let go of the annoyances you’ve been internalizing. Before you know it, you’ll be soaking in vibes of tranquility and serenity that unlock the respite you are searching for.

Gemini

Being direct with your friends will help relationships grow in the future, even if it creates conflict now. You should never censor your opinions, especially when your peers ask for the truth. However, it’s right to be conscientious of the tone you use. The same applies to how you receive their comments after pressing them for honesty.

Cancer

Personal matters might interfere with the ability to apply yourself at work. It’s hard to leave the drama at the door when entering the office, but concentrating on professional problem-solving gives you the chance to detach from the situations that are plaguing your heart for a few hours a day. As a result, you’ll have a unique perspective on them.

Leo

Playful is a kitten with a ball of string. Your curiosity and lust for life urge you to seek new ideas, hobbies, and adventures. Instead of curling up with a book, you’ll opt to live each chapter out loud in real time. Nothing can hold back your bold, brave spirit from exploring the world and filling your aura with excitement.

Virgo

You maintain the power to your own success, Virgo! Ignore the adverse voices that debate your attributes. The less energy you give to doubt, the more you can focus on attaining the high standards and wonderful endeavors you wish to achieve. Believe in yourself and ignore the naysayers. You can do it if you put your mind to it.

Libra

Like a magnet to steel, you can pull in individuals with different strengths and views. Opposites attract, letting you engage in frisky banter that broadens your philosophy and deepens your understanding of yourself and them. Since you prefer to chase a challenge and can influence each other in powerful ways, this romantic connection will encourage you to evolve and transcend.

Scorpio

Spring and summer were buzzing with activity. As you enter fall, the stars are telling you to slow down and take care of yourself. You should not commit to overly time-consuming projects—spend your energy on artistic outlets that soothe your soul and heighten your senses with pleasure. You deserve a break from reality and an imaginative escape.

Sagittarius

A lot of romantic worries and anxieties are piling up, making your love life feel frenetic and erratic. The planets are stressing your relationships. Remember, this is a passing moment, and things always get better. The full moon shows you the path forward by illuminating the ways to resolve such concerns swiftly and effectively with the one you adore.

Capricorn

You are caught between extremes, and you need to bring balance to your emotions. Before your passions reach a high note, center on calming thoughts to steady yourself. Shouting isn’t worth the stress because your points rarely come through, and it ignites defensiveness in others. Communicate softly and with poise. You want to sway others, not estrange and antagonize them.

Aquarius

Long story short: You’re too busy attending social events, meetings, and errands to comprehend how overloaded your schedule is. When you finally sit quietly, you notice your exhaustion, so you choose restlessness and keep moving. Please don’t overdo it or push yourself too much. Respect your physical limits to avoid burnout. If possible, cancel appointments that aren’t essential.

Pisces

Saying reinforcing words and phrases that emphasize the characteristics you are proud of offers you an opportunity to secure your foundation, which has been off-kilter recently. Rewrite the script and narrative by looking in the mirror and seeing how great you are on the inside and out. No one can take your confidence away from you. Own it!
