A micromoon closes October 2029. The full moon in Aries is exact on 22 October at 09:28 UTC, with the Moon at 29°16' Aries and the Sun opposite at 29°16' Libra. At 406,277 km the Moon is near apogee, so it looks slightly smaller than usual. Mercury stands opposite the Moon, 5.8 degrees from exact. There is no eclipse, and Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Chiron are retrograde.
Aries is a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars, and the tradition links it with initiative, courage and acting on one's own behalf. Set against the Libra Sun, this full moon is read as a weighing of self against partnership. Astrologers often treat Mercury in opposition as a prompt to listen as carefully as one speaks. One practical step: finish a conversation you have already started rather than opening a new one.
