Hunter’s Moon: October’s Full Moon

On October 6, 2025, the Hunter Moon rises as a Supermoon, glowing larger and brighter than usual. Its energy carries the spirit of focus, courage, and renewal — a time to chase what truly calls to you and release what weighs you down before the dark of winter.

The Hunter’s Supermoon reminds us to trust our instincts, move with intention, and gather the lessons of the year. It’s a moon of alignment — where intuition sharpens and the path ahead glows just a bit clearer beneath her silver light.

The sky readies itself for something extraordinary — the Hunter Moon, rising full and vivid, its light stretched across the darkening heavens. With the moon dancing closer to Earth in its orbit, she becomes a supermoon — brighter, larger, and nearer to our longing.

This lunar radiance calls us to sharpen our vision and kindle our courage. In the flickering light, shadows soften, secrets widen, and instincts stir. As the moon bathes the world in silvery gold, we feel both small and infinite — drawn outward to the celestial, yet rooted in the soil and bones of this turning season.

The Hunter Moon rises full and golden, a Supermoon gliding close enough to make the night feel almost touchable. Her glow fills the cottage windows and spills across the fields, reminding us that even in the gathering dark, there is beauty in pursuit and peace in preparation.
This moon asks us to move with intention — to chase our dreams not in haste, but in harmony with our hearts. Step outside, breathe in the chill air, and let her light remind you: you are part of the rhythm that turns, and your season of purpose is still unfolding.

Rituals & Magic You Can Do On This full Moon:

🕯 1. The Light of Intention Ritual

As the Hunter Moon rises, her glow illuminates what’s been hidden.

  • Sit beneath the moonlight (or by a window if it’s cloudy).
  • Write down what you’re pursuing — not just goals, but feelings or energies you want to call in (peace, clarity, courage).
  • On another page, write what you’re ready to release — fears, old habits, lingering doubts.
  • Burn or bury the page of release, and keep the page of intention near your altar or journal until the next full moon.

✨ Symbolism: The hunter’s focus — clarity of purpose, conscious action, and renewal.


🌾 2. The Harvest of Gratitude

This moon once marked the final harvest before winter.

  • Light a candle in a warm tone (gold, orange, or deep amber).
  • List three things that grew in your life this season — a project, a relationship, or a personal change.
  • Offer herbs like rosemary (for remembrance) or sage (for thanks and cleansing) by burning or placing them in a small dish.
  • Speak gratitude for what you’ve learned and what you carry forward.

✨ This ritual roots your energy in abundance and closes the season with grace.


🌕 3. The Lunar Bath of Renewal

Harness the Hunter Moon’s supercharged light to refresh your energy.

  • Add rosemarychamomile, and Epsom salt to warm bathwater.
  • Drop in a small piece of amethyst or clear quartz (if safe for water).
  • As you soak, visualize moonlight washing through you, releasing tension and restoring your strength.
  • Whisper softly: “I rest. I release. I am ready for what calls me next.”

✨ Ideal for empaths or those feeling energetically heavy during supermoon surges.
