The Hunter's Moon: A Full Moon in October
On Sunday, October 25, the full moon known as the Hunter's Moon reaches its brightest point. This full moon gets its name from the month of October, which is traditionally a hunting season.
According to astrology, which believes the moon can influence our emotions and actions, this full moon's light can be used for personal benefit.
One suggestion is to take advantage of the moonlight for inner cleaning, both inside your home and inside yourself, meaning your thoughts and feelings.
The advice also recommends paying close attention to your five senses — sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch — in everything you do today.
The color yellow is said to help people connect with their inner strength during this full moon.
Astrology also says that each zodiac sign will experience this full moon's energy differently. Some signs might feel more emotional, while others might feel more motivated.
Finally, there are suggested rituals, or special symbolic actions, that people can perform to make the most of the full moon's energy, according to astrology sources.
