The Astrology of the October 2024 Hunter’s Moon
The full Hunter’s Moon arrives on October 17, 2024 at 7:26 a.m. Eastern time (4:26 a.m. Pacific) in the zodiac sign of Aries (24 degrees). However, you may notice its brightness in the night sky by October 15 and feel its intensity through October 21.
The Hunter’s Moon will be a supermoon—which means that the Moon will be closer to Earth than normal at this time. For our astronomy fans, it will be the biggest and brightest supermoon of 2024. At its nearest point, it will be 222,055 miles (357,363 kilometers) from Earth. This means it will appear 7% larger than normal.
During this period of the year—from September 22 until October 22—the Sun is in Libra. This means that the full Moon will be on its opposite polarity: Aries.
Aries and Libra rule the first and seventh houses in astrology. Aries focuses on independence, passion, desire, and takes on a warrior mentality to carve out a life that fulfills us. Libra, on the opposite end, is more about union, balance, cooperation, and justice. As much as our egos may encourage us to dance to our own beat, having partners come along to share in our lives makes it even more enriching.
Aries, ruled by Mars, is a Fire sign, whereas Libra, ruled by Venus, is an Air sign.
When it comes to astrological aspects that are coloring this period in time, there are many to pay attention to. First, this full Moon is particularly mixed in energies. It is exactly square Mars, the planetary ruler of this lunation, meaning you may feel an insatiable need to fulfill your personal or professional desires. You may stop at nothing to get what and feel the tendency to be passionate, intense, and possibly aggressive.
The full Moon is sextile Jupiter, which can bring luck, pleasure, and joy to you, but it is also exactly square Pluto, too, ensuring power struggles, hurdles, and challenges—regardless of how you assert yourself.
Mars will be sextile Uranus and trine Pluto, which reveals that if we are willing to think outside of the box, connect with different ideas or people, and proceed with a true synthesis of both passion and compassion, you are more likely to achieve your goals in the end.
Be aware that your intensity around relationships could be “all or nothing” and a bit chaotic if you feel you aren’t getting what you want (due to Venus’s opposition with Uranus, trine with Neptune, and sextile to Pluto). Full Moon self-care techniques may help you take the edge off.
The outer planets of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto will all still be in a lovely embrace, though, so if you choose to build a better life for yourself and the world around you simultaneously, you could see great progress down the line.
