Spooky season is here — and so is a supermoon. The Hunter’s Moon rises on Oct. 17 in the fierce fire sign of Aries.
Like the luminaries of August and September, October’s is a supermoon. This occurs when the moon is close in its orbit to Earth, therefore appearing larger than usual.
How can I see October’s full moon?
The full moon will reach peak fullness on Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024, at 7:26 a.m. ET, per NASA. It will appear full for about three days.
What is the astrological meaning of October’s full moon?
Full moons are times of release in astrology, but each individual full moon takes on the flavor of other cosmic happenings.
The planets Mars in Cancer, Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, and Pluto in Capricorn connect with the full moon. Further, the centaur Chiron‘s retrograde in Aries affixes itself to the moon.
Put it together, and intense sentiments will emerge during the full moon, possibly resulting in jealousy and power struggles. The good news is that Chiron lends a healing hand, allowing us to make up with others and ourselves. Hours after the full moon, Venus enters Sagittarius, urging us to forgive and forget.
The full moon is liable be a wild ride of feelings, so try to be kind to yourself and others. Don’t try to control others and situations. Let people forge their paths. The same applies to you.
