Stop Deflecting Compliments: What the Aries Full Moon is Trying to Tell You 🌕🔥

I used to deflect every single compliment. If someone told me I looked great or praised my work, I’d brush it off with an awkward laugh or a quick “oh, it’s nothing.” I thought I was being humble—but in truth, I just didn’t feel worthy of praise. Deep down, my core limiting belief was that I wasn’t good enough.

Once I realized that, everything shifted. Becoming conscious of that shadow belief allowed me not only to receive compliments but to also give myself praise. That was huge. Can you relate? Do you catch yourself deflecting praise instead of letting it land?

Tonight’s Aries Full Moon is the perfect time to look under the hood of this habit.

Aries Energy: Step Into Your Strength

Aries is all about “I am.” It’s the energy of individuation—stepping out of Pisces’ oneness and into your own unique strength and power. Aries energy calls you to embody your inner warrior, your internal Wonder Woman. When you stand strong in who you are, you’re able to serve and protect others from a grounded place.

This full moon isn’t just about releasing. Traditionally, it was a time to celebrate—dancing around the fire, gathering with community, honoring who we are. It’s about acknowledging yourself, and that’s exactly what Aries asks of us: step into your power, celebrate who you are, even if it feels uncomfortable.

Why It’s Hard to Celebrate Yourself

If celebrating yourself feels hard, that’s usually a sign of an old limiting belief formed in childhood. Back then, these beliefs were protective—they helped us stay safe, small, and unnoticed. But now, they’re the very things holding us back.

Not being able to acknowledge your own amazingness blocks you from:

• Asking for what you really need
  
  
• Standing up for yourself with confidence
  
  
• Finding your dream partner or dream job
  
  
• Setting strong boundaries and saying no
  
  
• Creating the life you know you’re here to live
  
  

Think of it like a check-engine light flashing on your dashboard: those limiting beliefs are showing you where you’re getting in your own way.

Mercury in Scorpio: A Deep Dive

As if that wasn’t enough, Mercury is entering Scorpio today too. This brings powerful energy to dig into the way you think and talk to yourself. Mercury in Scorpio supports the deep dive into uncovering those limiting beliefs and rewriting the way you see yourself.

Your Aries Full Moon Invitation

So, here’s my invite:
✨ What’s one thing you can acknowledge or celebrate about yourself today?

It can be something tiny—a small win, a quality you love about yourself, or even just acknowledging that you’re still showing up, still trying. That counts.

Celebrating yourself isn’t arrogance. It’s alignment. It’s the first step toward creating the life you truly want.

And, if acknowledging yourself feels funky, that’s the first thread to start tugging on in your personal healing work.
