The night sky in October 2025 is set to dazzle stargazers with a rare celestial event — the Hunter’s Moon, which this year coincides with a supermoon. According to Drikpanchang, the Harvest Moon will occur on the night of October 6, rising at 5:27 PM IST and reaching its full phase at 9:16 AM IST on October 7. The best time to view this luminous spectacle will be shortly after sunset on October 6, when the moon appears larger and brighter than usual.

Astrologer, numerologist, and healer Ashutosh Clairvoyant highlights that the Hunter’s Moon carries not just astronomical importance but also deep spiritual and emotional significance. “The October Full Moon has historically been linked with preparation, gathering, and inner reflection. Just as hunters in ancient times gathered food for winter, today we are called to gather wisdom, lessons, and energy for the months ahead,” he explains.

The term Hunter’s Moon was first recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1710 and traditionally referred to the time when communities hunted and stored food before the harsh winter months. In astrology, this moon marks a period of culmination, closure, and emotional clarity.

Dos During the Hunter’s Full Moon

Ashutosh Clairvoyant shares simple yet powerful practices to harness the lunar energy:

Reflect and Release: Write down habits, fears, or emotional burdens you wish to let go of and consciously release them.

Gratitude Rituals: Acknowledge personal “harvests” such as achievements, lessons learned, and blessings received this year.

Meditation or Moon Bathing: Spend time under the moonlight to cleanse your emotional energy and heighten intuition.

Grounding Activities: Cooking seasonal foods like pumpkin, grains, and apples can help align with nature’s cycles.

Don’ts During the Hunter’s Full Moon

At the same time, Clairvoyant cautions against certain actions during this phase:

Avoid Major Confrontations: Emotions tend to peak, making arguments more intense.
Don’t Start New Projects Impulsively: This period is better for completion rather than sudden beginnings.

Limit Overindulgence: Heavy foods, alcohol, or impulsive spending can weaken energy.
Don’t Ignore Rest: Strong lunar vibrations may disturb sleep — calming practices are essential.

Meditation & Chanting Practices

Ashutosh Clairvoyant also recommends incorporating spiritual practices under the full moon. “Sitting facing the moon and chanting Om Somaya Namah or the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra can deeply calm the mind, balance emotions, and clear negativity,” he shares. This simple act of connecting with the moon’s energy enhances self-awareness and strengthens inner peace.

As October’s Hunter’s Supermoon lights up the sky, it offers more than just a visual delight. Spiritually, it is a reminder to pause, reflect, and embrace closure while preparing for new beginnings in the coming season.

Ashutosh Clairvoyant concludes, “The Hunter’s Moon asks us to honor our past, release what no longer serves us, and enter the future with gratitude and strength.”
