Spooky season is here, and so is a supermoon. The Hunter’s Moon rises on October 17 in the fierce fire sign of Aries.

Like the celestial lights of August and September, October is a supermoon. This happens when the moon is close to the Earth and therefore appears larger than normal.

How can I see the October full moon?

According to NASA, the full moon will reach its maximum fullness on Thursday, October 17, 2024 at 7:26 a.m. ET. It will appear full for about three days.

What is the astrological significance of October’s full moon?

Full moons are times of liberation in astrology, but each individual full moon takes on the flavor of other cosmic events.

The planets Mars in Cancer, Jupiter retrograde in Gemini and Pluto in Capricorn connect with the full moon. Furthermore, the retrograde of the centaur Chiron in Aries attaches to the moon.

Put that together and intense feelings will arise during the full moon, potentially resulting in jealousy and power struggles. The good news is that Chiron provides a healing hand, allowing us to make amends to others and to ourselves. Hours after the full moon, Venus enters Sagittarius and urges us to forgive and forget.

The full moon can 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 pave their way. The same goes for you.

How the Full Moon Can Affect Your Zodiac Sign

Ram

Welcome to a new chapter in your life, Aries! Now is the time to let go of the limitations and roadblocks that are holding you back. Break through the limitations and strive for greatness. The energy and power of the full moon gives you the motivation to do this.

Taurus

Look deep within yourself for ways to move forward and evolve. Try to think about the recent events in your life that have brought you to this current state. With the knowledge you possess, you will know how to ensure you stay on the right path on your personal journey.

Twin

You are currently looking for a deeper connection in your friendships. Change the dynamic by sharing parts of yourself that have been hidden until now. Opening up and expressing your deepest feelings can bring about the emotional change you desire.

Cancer

The full moon forces you to achieve your goals. If you want to take on a project or ask for more work in the office, now is the time to set yourself up for success. Ask your boss or management for more responsibility and you will get it.

Lion

It’s time to put your money where your mouth is. Don’t make promises you can’t keep and try to be realistic in your actions. The more responsible you are, the easier it will be to maintain relationships with others. They will know that your word is gold.

Virgin

Have you been bothered by the pain of others lately? Your empathy is a gift, Virgo. Be a listening ear for friends and family during this time.

Libra

Communicate your needs with your partner or loved one in an effort to gain understanding. You can solve problems if you listen and speak. You might even consider writing a letter or email to be more concise.

Scorpio

Let go of the pressure of perfectionism. It’s okay to try something without doing it perfect — just trying is brave. The expectations you create are not feasible for anyone. You’re doing a great job as is.

Archer

Creative projects come to an end, creating space for new projects. Before taking on a new assignment, make sure it aligns with your mind and heart. When you are emotionally connected, you will be motivated to work more.

Ibex

As usual, you’ve been working hard, leaving little time to rest. Your efforts to gain fame and a sense of accomplishment are admirable, but they can cause burnout. Instead of giving up rest to achieve your career goals, give yourself a moment to relax to bring balance to your life.

Aquarius

Being productive doesn’t necessarily mean doing activities that strain you to the bone or aren’t fun. If you have excess energy, you need to do something that will help you embrace your inner child and heal your heart from recurring insecurities.

Pisces

Taking care of impending financial matters will not only boost your bank account, but it will also give you the opportunity to pay off a few credit card bills. You can use the remaining money for a rainy day this fall, when you want to treat yourself to a special treat.
