It’s time to fill your own cup.
With the Supermoon season in full swing, we get ready for another luminous display on the morning (midday) of 17 October. The Moon reaches its peak at 7:27 a.m. ET (1:27 p.m. CET) in the Fire sign of Aries.
We refer to the Moon as the Hunter’s Moon, as it is the Full Moon that immediately follows the Harvest Moon. The Harvest Moon is defined by the Full Moon that occurs closest to the September Equinox, which means it can either be the September Full Moon or the October Full Moon, depending on the lunar cycle of that particular year. This year, the Harvest Moon graced September, while October’s Moon took on the name of Hunter’s Moon. However, some years refer to the November Moon as the Hunter’s Moon.
The term ‘Hunter’s Moon’ originates from both European and Native American traditions, serving as a cue for hunters in the Northern Hemisphere to prepare themselves and stockpile food in anticipation of the upcoming harsh and frigid months.
October Supermoon: Date & Time
This Full Moon will be a Supermoon, marking it as the largest and most significant Supermoon of the entire year.
While this Moon will not attain its fullest point until close to 7:30 a.m., the optimal time for viewing will be during sunrise. The Moon is currently lower in the sky, and due to an optical illusion, it appears larger at a lower altitude.
Supermoons can appear 20–25 percent larger than other Full Moons, making it a remarkable sight to witness this phenomenon around sunset.
A Full Moon qualifies as a Supermoon when it is located within 360,000 kilometers from Earth, and the October Hunter’s Moon will be at a distance of 357,363 kilometers. This will be the closest distance to Earth that any Full Moon reaches in 2024, making it the biggest and brightest Full Moon of the year.
Aries Supermoon: What to Expect?
The energy throughout the Moon Cycle manifests in wave motion. At the trough lies our New Moon, a moment of renewal. At the peak of the wave, we find our Full Moon. The reason for this is that Full Moons represent the energetic peak of the lunar month. Throughout history, these high-energy moments have been associated with inciting intense or erratic behavior, which is reflected in the linguistic connection between the lunar and terms like lunacy or lunatic.
Full Moons can bring about tension, yet they also serve as significant opportunities for release. It is often believed that Full Moons can offer mental and spiritual clarity, revealing the unseen influences surrounding you. Since this Moon is a Supermoon, its effects will intensify. Supermoons are regarded as more powerful, amplifying the experiences and themes associated with the typical Full Moon.
With this Supermoon occurring in Aries, brace yourself for an intense, impulsive, yet incredibly passionate experience. This suggests that the energies of this Moon are influenced by the warrior planet Mars, which rules the Fire sign Aries. This indicates that Aries possesses a strong sense of confidence, a fiery temperament, and is driven by their desires. You have all the necessary components for a short, enjoyable, and intensely passionate relationship. This Moon is inviting you to respond to that Hinge message and embrace spontaneity. This Full Moon may inspire you to venture beyond your comfort zone and take charge, particularly concerning your most profound desires. At times, a brief encounter can truly nourish the spirit.
The current intense energy, in conjunction with the influence of Aries, will instill a heightened sense of enthusiasm and confidence in every aspect of our lives. This could be the moment you need to seek that promotion you’ve been considering. At last, you will find the courage to engage in that sincere dialogue with a dear friend.
Key Considerations for the Supermoon in Aries
It is important to note that the current sky is characterized by a volatile combination due to five planetary retrogrades and a charged T-square. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are currently in retrograde, along with Chiron. Although the extended retrogrades of the larger planets are generally more stable and transformative, it is crucial to reflect on this before making any impulsive choices that could lead to considerable consequences. Aries will inspire you to be bold.
Although our passionate Aries has a captivating allure, this sign does have its shortcomings. An inclination towards vindictiveness and spitefulness may lead to the destruction of essential bridges in the future. Therefore, it is important to fully embrace the vibrant and passionate qualities of this Supermoon. Be cautious not to let it motivate you to say or do things that might have negative repercussions, particularly concerning your career. Your current or former colleagues could end up anywhere next. Maintaining respect at all times is essential.
We must remain highly attentive to the T-square involving the Moon, Mars, and Pluto. As these two planets create intense square aspects with the Moon, they also stand in opposition to one another, adding another layer of tension. Mars in a square aspect The Moon embodies a fervent quality that can awaken within us a profound yearning to satisfy our desires. Although this energy can be deeply satisfying and sensual, it may also lead to impulsive actions without consideration for the consequences. The Moon square Pluto aspect may lead to self-destructive tendencies. With the addition of the Pluto-Mars opposition, known for its links to violence and outbursts, we find ourselves facing a potentially explosive combination. This is especially true for those who have prominent Fire placements in their birth charts.
The most valuable guidance? Always consider your actions carefully and reflect before you express your thoughts. Steer clear of circumstances that may provoke your anger and disengage from disputes before they begin. If you notice yourself becoming angry, seek out more enjoyable methods to release that tension.
