Listen to the story
The full moon of October 2026 will take place on 26 October.
This full moon has a traditional name: the Hunter's Moon.
The name comes from old traditions linked to hunting season in autumn.
A full moon occurs roughly once every month, when the moon appears fully lit from Earth.
On this night, the moon looks round, bright and easy to see in the sky.
Alongside the astronomy news, some media also published a daily horoscope for 26 October.
A horoscope is a short text that claims to describe how the positions of stars and planets affect people.
According to one report, this full moon could especially affect three zodiac signs.
Zodiac signs are twelve groups in astrology, based on a person's date of birth.
The report suggested these three signs might feel more unsettled or emotional than usual on that day.
Astrology is not a science, but it remains very popular, and many people enjoy reading horoscopes for entertainment.
