[September’s full moon](https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/09/world/harvest-moon-september-2022-scn/index.html) was closest to this year’s autumnal equinox, which fell on September 22, and thus became 2022’s harvest moon, according to [The Old Farmer’s Almanac](https://www.almanac.com/content/full-moon-october).

This month's full moon in Aries will peak on Sunday, October 9, at 4:56 pm ET—and themes of healing may arise, according to this astrologer.

Take a moment to appreciate this relationship from the other’s perspective. Take a moment of gratitude for the gifts of this relationship. As the smoke rises, imagine the relationship it represents changing form and being carried in new directions and new dimensions, within you and beyond. Honor this for a moment in your heart and mind. When the smoke clears, exhale through your mouth and say the words, “And so it is.” Briefly honor these difficulties in your mind and heart with the intention of compassion, as well as release. (If you have multiple relationships in mind, choose the most prominent one or do a separate ritual for each.) Honor the lessons learned and love, joy, or fun you once shared. Venus, meanwhile, is the planet of love and beauty, Mars, the planet of action, and Saturn, the planet of restriction and discipline. This full moon in Aries has strong healing themes, and also favorable energy for facing difficulties, considering solutions, taking action, and/or communicating ideas in a balanced way, according to Budd. "Thus, there could be a general theme of wounding—or on the positive, healing—around relationships, or our experience of comfort, beauty, and pleasure," she says. We can, however, change the focus and energy it receives, including the way we process it and interact with it," she explains.
