The Super Full Hunter’s Moon in Aries occurs on October 17th at 4:26 AM PT and 7:26 AM ET. Also known as the Blood Moon, this lunation is the biggest supermoon of the year. Since the Moon is near Earth, it will appear more vibrant and prominent, and our emotions will be overdrive. 

With the action planet Mars in Cancer, expansive Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, and Pluto in Capricorn aspecting the Full Moon, we’ll be taking steps towards connecting with our personal goals. The caveat is that others stand in our happiness, creating conflict behind the scenes. As a result, emotions will reach a feverish pitch, escalating our passions and making us confrontational.

The centaur Chiron, retrograde in Aries, offers an opportunity to heal. However, the process could take a while because the asteroid Juno in Libra wants to redefine dynamics and relationships, while Eris in Aries is taking our frustrations to the next level. Try to find a moment of calm to decompress and cool off rather than coming in hot.

The fixed stars Kurhah and Al Pherg are in play, bringing fortune, but with a cost. Hidden motivations and manipulations will be exposed, allowing us to see who calls the shots behind the scenes. Instead of walking away, power struggles will exist, leading to arguments. Surrounding ourselves with good-hearted people and grounding energy is ideal.

Venus enters Sagittarius later in the day, softening up the energy. Optimism replaces negativity, offering us a chance to embrace our unique attributes. The clouds in the sky will part, letting the sunshine in after an intense morning. 

Focus on your desires under the Full Moon. Carve your name into a red candle. Anoint it with cinnamon oil, which is used for fast work, heating up your intentions and activating them quickly - a sentiment the warrior Aries Moon can get behind. Light a red candle to evoke the intensity of Aries and state what you need vigor for. The universe will give you the capacity and ability to get what you need and deserve.
