The Full Moon on October 6, 2025 rises in the bold and fiery sign of Aries, bringing with it a call to action, a surge of courage, and a primal pulse of renewal. Known as the Hunter’s Moon, this lunar event ignites our inner warrior, awakens our wild instincts, and asks us to claim what is ours — not from fear or lack, but from fierce love and soul-aligned purpose.

Why Is It Called the Hunter’s Moon?

The Hunter’s Moon is the name given to the full moon following the Harvest Moon, which occurs closest to the autumn equinox. In traditional agrarian cultures, the light of this moon allowed hunters to track game into the night, ensuring food stores for the coming winter. It’s a time of preparedness, instinctual action, and the sacred hunt — not just for sustenance, but for clarity, purpose, and truth.

This moon is also known as the Travel Moon or Dying Grass Moon in various traditions, but Hunter’s Moon is the most widely recognized in Northern Hemisphere folklore.

Aries Energy: The Inner Fire Awakens

When the moon is full in Aries, we feel its cardinal fire urging us to move, act, and assert. Aries is the zodiac’s first sign — the spark of creation, the warrior, the pioneer, the Fool at the edge of the cliff ready to leap into the unknown. During this lunation:

  • Emotions are bold, raw, and unfiltered.

  • Passion is stirred. Conflicts may flare — but so can breakthroughs.

  • We’re invited to face fears and take decisive action.

  • Independence and self-discovery become sacred priorities.

The Aries Full Moon offers a mirror: Where have you been dimming your light, denying your instincts, or shrinking from your power? This moon asks you to rise. Not to dominate, but to lead — even if your voice shakes.

  • Courageously releasing old versions of self

This moon is not about compromise — it’s about authenticity. Let the flames of Aries burn away what no longer belongs to you.
