The Full Moon in Aries on 29 September 2023 closely coincides with a challenging Venus aspect. So, the meaning of the Full Moon September 2023 astrology is solving a problem with your love life, finances, or self-image.
The September 2023 Full Moon provides the courage and inspiration to make critical decisions and solve problems. As this is the final moon phase before the upcoming Solar Eclipse on October 14, the issues that need resolution may have developed over the last six months. So, take extra time with decision-making before taking action.
Full Moon September 2023 Horoscope
The Full Moon on Friday, September 29, 2023, is at 06°00′ Aries. As the Full Moon horoscope below shows, the Moon has no planetary aspects. There are no major fixed stars close to the Full Moon either.
This leaves Venus square Uranus as the significant influence on the September 2023 Full Moon astrology. This is because it has the smallest orb of the major aspects, occurring about seven hours after the Full Moon.

Full Moon September 2023 Astrology
Sun opposite Moon brings your home, family, and intimate relationships into sharper focus for the following two weeks of this moon phase. Opposing forces, such as work versus home or what you need versus what you want, create inner tension and external pressures. This can lead to conflict and crises that drain your energy.
The lunar qualities of emotions and instincts climax during the September 2023 Full Moon. So, use your increased emotional strength and intuition to overcome any relationship challenges. Subconscious awareness allows for an honest and balanced look at your relationships. You will see any relationship dynamics or negative feelings causing disharmony.
Crisis Mechanism
The three-colored triangle connecting Venus, Mars and Uranus is called a Large Learning Triangle aspect pattern. It is an ongoing crisis mechanism that conditions growth and opens up great opportunities for learning and development. There are three phases to the crisis mechanism:
red → green → blue
square → quincunx → sextile
conflict → striving for solution → harmonization
Conflict
Venus square Uranus starts the process. The point of conflict is where the red and blue aspects touch each other (Venus). A particular Venus problem may cause feelings of inadequacy and create tension, conflict or crisis. Venus sextile Mars’s calm, balanced, pleasure-seeking state is disturbed or irritated. A problem has arisen and must be solved. The old form is no longer tenable. Some decision or effort must be made.
This problem may be due to an increased need for freedom or excitement, an unexpected event, financial stress, sudden attraction, or a change in your affections and loyalties. It could test your patience with a partner or the stability of your relationship.
If you feel smothered, confined or bored, or your partner is demanding or conservative, you could lash out in anger, have a secret affair, or suddenly end the relationship. You may be attracted to exciting or eccentric people and those who seem risky or from a different cultural or ethnic background. Entertainment, amusement or novelties may suffice if you are not daring.
Striving For Solution
Mars quincunx Uranus is the next step in the September 2023 Full Moon crisis mechanism, where the problem is initially dealt with. It gives you the courage, initiative and inspiration to experiment, search and strive for a solution. Proactive change is needed, but even realizing that can make you insecure, uncertain and indecisive.
Unexpected meetings, unusual conversations or online interactions could bring new information or experiences that help your decision-making. Heightened imagination and intuition can also help you settle on a single goal. Mistakes are possible as you balance daring, excited anticipation, impulsiveness and impatience. So, take extra time with decision-making before taking action.
Harmonization
Venus sextile Mars is the final phase. Creative problem-solving and newly acquired discoveries lead to the desired state of harmony that meets the requirement of the initial problem. The perfect mix of sexuality and affection suits dating or resolving relationship problems. It promotes true love based on intense mutual attraction and chemistry.
This balanced yet vivacious energy gives you the confidence to socialize and a good mood to enjoy it. It is ideal for self-promotion, seeking favors, chasing passionate desires, developing creative talents, and starting a pet project.
conflict → striving for solution → harmonization
So, this process would seem to be complete. But only until a new problem comes along and the September 2023 Full Moon crisis mechanism gets going again. This development spiral aims to get another point of view with every complete transition. Every passage through the three phases and each crisis contains the possibility of finding solutions that previously did not exist, i.e., breaking new ground.
Whether that is successful depends on your attitude toward the crisis process. If you inwardly recognize the opportunities, then development is likely. The development process will be blocked if you treat the crises as mere disruptions.
Moon Goddess
Asteroid Juno conjunct Venus emphasizes the Full Moon of September 2023 theme of love. Juno was originally a Moon goddess. The ancient Roman calendar was lunar, and each month began with a New Moon. Ceremonies in Juno’s honor were held on the first day of every month. [2]
From the 28-day New Moon cycle comes Juno’s association with the female reproductive cycle. Juno is a lunar goddess who oversees women of childbearing age from puberty to childbirth and marriage. Juno also rules soul mates, true love and commitment.
At a deeper level, Demetra George suggests asteroid Juno symbolizes the mystical union, or state of spiritual consciousness you can reach when you transcend your ego. Overcoming separateness through union and becoming one with the universe.
“Juno symbolizes the yearning for full mystic union that is emotionally, sexually, and psychologically fulfilling… In the horoscope, Juno represents the emotional and psychological needs that motivate us to seek marital union”. [3]

The Constellations
Full Moon September 2023 is in the Sign of Aries. But as the star map below shows, it is located in the Constellation Pisces. The Signs and the Constellations do not match up. Over the last 2000 years, the Constellations have moved nearly 30° out of alignment with the Signs because of the precession of the equinoxes.
The Zodiac was invented only as a measuring device. The ecliptic line in the image below matches the degrees in the Full Moon horoscope above. Like the original astrologers, I use the Constellations and fixed stars for interpretation, not the Signs.
Full Moon September 2023
- 05♈33 – 5 Lacertae
- 06♈00 – Full Moon September 2023
- 06♈12 – 4 Lacertae
The Lizard
4 Lacertae is a fourth-magnitude star with the spectral type of B9. [4] This indicates the planetary nature of Jupiter and, to a lesser extent, Venus.
Jupiter–Venus: Contented, happy disposition, honorable, philosophical mind, legal or ecclesiastical preferment, help through women. [5]
Spectral Class B: A higher spiritual nature is imparted, but few can respond; fondness for power, victory over enemies, ability to command, grandly liberal, martial honors, kingly preferment, can gain great authority, cosmopolitan views, may be subject to high honors and wealth and renown. [6]
Constellation Lacerta the Lizard gives a keen, practical intellect, a careful, patient, scientific nature, and a great love of power and justice. [5]
Full Moon September 2023 Meaning
The most significant influence on the Full Moon in September 2023 astrology comes from Venus, the planet of love, money, peace, creativity, self-image and values. Venus square Uranus is the most significant aspect apart from the Sun opposite Moon. Venus aligns with the asteroid Juno, and Venus is the point of conflict in the Large Learning Triangle aspect pattern.
The star that most closely aligns with the September 29 Full Moon has the fortunate planetary nature of Jupiter–Venus. But this is tiny star is not generally used by astrologers. Therefore, this is a challenging Full Moon. It can cause problems with love relationships, finances and diplomacy due to sudden change, unexpected events, uncertainty, instability or rebellion.
Thankfully, the crisis mechanism of the aspect pattern helps you narrow down your objectives, make the decision, solve the problem and restore harmony. Venus–Juno sextile Mars makes this Full Moon in Aries 2023 perfect for finding your soul mate and resolving a troubled marriage.
Astrologically, a full moon is influenced by the preceding new Moon. The September 14 New Moon is excellent for making positive changes, implementing new ideas and taking advantage of exciting opportunities.
The End of an Eclipse Cycle
The influence of the September 29 Full Moon lasts for two weeks up to the October 14 Solar Eclipse. This is the final moon phase of the current eclipse phase, which began with the April 20 Solar Eclipse and the May 5 Lunar Eclipse.
The April 2023 Solar Eclipse brought the risk of power struggles and crises. But also the inspiration and spiritual awareness to let go of your need to be in control and focus on achieving your goals. The May 2023 Lunar eclipse highlighted the differences and problems in relationships that cause anxiety, nastiness and pain.
In summary, the Full Moon in Aries on 29 September 2023 represents the culmination of events or issues developing over the last six months. It highlights a long-term problem relating to Venus that must be solved in the next two weeks before the October 14 Solar Eclipse. Use patience and flexibility as you define your most important goal, make a critical decision and then take action.

my Father is telling me to shape up.
In my senior year at High School I had a Physical Education teacher, Mr. Rope. He was well known for cycling across Canada and other accomplishments. One day I skip his class. The next one, he calls me out.
“Streppel would rather skip Rope than show up”
This was an old teaching method, years later I thought. How many times did he say that to the unexpecting, without the drama?
A month or so later, we’re at the local swimming pool for a workout, first time. I’m the fastest guy there using a quarter of the energy, and Mr. Rope can’t believe it. He’s truly astonished. He saw a different rope that day.
That was the school year of Terry Fox’s run. I’m driving to Michigan to attend a sport cultural event, and Terry is nearby. I regret not taking a detour to see him. Years later, Im in New Westminster, BC. To get involved with the community, I volunteer to organize the TF Run. The last year, a bunch of people from NCR show up. Good coders and runners, accurate and precise. I find out I map the route (year 2000) about 50 meters too long, so it would end at a gate. If you’re measuring performance to fixed distance, that would be unnerving, and I took someheat for that. But it still was a.good day, had fun, and managed to pass the organization of the run (Leo ascendant) to a grateful NCR employee. The next year my kid is born, 911, and we move to Kananaskis country.
Reminiscing even before a full moon conjunct Moon.
Pioneer days, Settler learning triangle.
Wow Jamie, this is outstanding; your interpretations are getting better and better. Thank you.
This could be interesting for me: The Full Moon is on my Eris in 4. And did you notice that transiting Eris is right on the transiting North Node? I haven’t seen you using Eris, but I think in this case it supports a lot of what you are saying.
Transiting Sun is on my Neptune. Here’s hoping I don’t get too confused. I’d much prefer a few dreams coming true, thanks!!
Thank you again Charlotte. I have not really looked into Eris. I think I will leave the newer planets to younger astrologers. I am still learning so much more everyday about aspects and stars.
Hello, Jamie. My neighbor has shown himself to be a self-centered jerk. Even if he doesn’t/hadn’t the time to assemble a small kitchen floor cabinet, he doesn’t have to get narky. I demanded back the stuff I had given him (for free): electric lamps (matching) and a workable coffee brewer among other things. “Er kann mich mal.”
10 Hygiea return, Lunar 825, Aries Full Moon, compare natal progressions. Here is a thot:
latin “vade ad formicam”, consider the ants…
The ants on my rose didnt survive the winter journey West, 1996. An aphid outbreak ensued, and the bush on my apartment balcony was descimated.
When migrating, it’s lucky and wise to go through a cleanse (kill) zone, for the sake of the natural habitat of your host. My plant lost its balance and died, but a new thing sprung from that apartment; the cycle of life.
Mélissa, latin for honey bee.
consider the honey bee, like the ant, managing the nectar aphid; missing on my West Coast porch.
I’m in Terminal city, 1997, where I dont write the terms. Send a letter to a well known politician (LA) and botanist journalist who practically eviscerate my lament. With comet Hale-Bopp my only buddy, I sally forth with a purchase of fresh cut roses, and oddly enough, opposite the DMV store, hand them out. My street ode met with snickers from the women and sympathy from those dying with HIV. Love is a problem; the music playing in a grand square, over and over…

What does it mean? I’m looking for help to hammer a nail.
Relationship problems within my circle have subsided. Two people I was having difficulty with actually fessed up that they were having problems with other relationships and had to make some changes. Knocked my socks off, it wasn’t just me. I do have a sibling I had to say halt to. I had to tell her that I do have stuff I am dealing with and I can’t handle her stuff about my stuff on top of it. Too much! The full moon sun conj natal mercury. Am developing a new perspective slowly, I think.
What I would really like with Venus heading into virgo is better service. People who hold up their end of the bargain. It is so important that we all do that I think. I got a text today from someone having a problem with their cell phone provider. His comment was, ‘and I was just starting to trust again’. I so get that. It is so stressful. Enough with the sell, deliver already will ya! If you can’t deliver, not a problem, just say so and I will find someone who can. I do have a handy guy who stands behind his work, a godsend.
I asked him for a referral for a new kitchen window and he said we can do that! Ahhh!
Also full moon squares Juno. I am not in the market for a ‘special relationship’ but I have been running into some males that get my juices flowing. It’s been years. What up with that? I much prefer brothers over lovers. 😳 is my reaction at these encounters.
Oh, I get a correlation now with Venus Jupiter, with Jupiter in taurus especially. Over valuation. Experiencing people over evaluating their ability. Over valuing themselves. And in the legal fraud cases, overvaluing assets. The accounted I just texted with, thinks there will have to be some kind of regulatory change for valuation accountants, which I didn’t even know was a thing.
Spiders, bats and black cats. A few Halloween ambassadors that decorate a house or yard.
You can call out bullshit to a spider and it wouldn’t mind, but studying social ants, bees or wasps, and your local university might actually attain world renown.
