The night sky in October 2025 will captivate stargazers with a unique celestial event — the Hunter’s Moon coinciding with a Supermoon. According to Drikpanchang, the Harvest Moon will rise on the evening of October 6 at 5:27 PM IST, and will reach its full phase at 9:16 AM IST on October 7. The ideal time for viewing will be shortly after sunset on October 6, when the moon will appear particularly large and luminous. Noted astrologer, numerologist, and healer Ashutosh Clairvoyant highlights that this celestial occurrence possesses both astronomical and profound spiritual significance. “The October Full Moon has traditionally symbolized preparation, gathering, and reflection.
Just as hunters in ancient times stored food for the winter, we too are encouraged to gather wisdom, lessons, and energy for the upcoming months,” he states. The term Hunter’s Moon was first documented in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1710, referring to the period when communities hunted and preserved food in anticipation of winter. Astrologically, this moon signifies a time of culmination, closure, and emotional clarity — a perfect moment to let go of the past and prepare for renewal.
During the Hunter’s Full Moon, Ashutosh Clairvoyant suggests simple yet impactful practices to maximize this lunar phase: Reflect and Release by writing down fears, limiting habits, or emotional weights and consciously letting them go; engage in Gratitude Rituals to celebrate personal achievements, lessons, and blessings throughout the year; practice Meditation or Moon Bathing under the moonlight to cleanse emotional energy and enhance intuition; and participate in Grounding Activities like cooking seasonal foods such as pumpkins, grains, and apples to synchronize with nature’s rhythm.
Conversely, he advises caution regarding certain behaviors during this emotionally charged time: avoid major confrontations as heightened emotions may lead to conflicts; refrain from impulsively starting new projects since this phase is for completion rather than initiation; limit overindulgence in heavy foods, alcohol, or impulsive spending as these can deplete energy; and don’t neglect rest, as strong lunar influences can disrupt sleep, making calming routines essential. To enrich the spiritual experience, Clairvoyant recommends incorporating chanting and meditation under the moonlight. “Sit facing the moon and chant Om Somaya Namah or the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra. This aids in calming the mind, balancing emotions, and dispelling negativity,” he advises. Such moon-aligned practices foster self-awareness, tranquility, and emotional renewal.
As October’s Hunter’s Supermoon brightens the sky, it offers more than just a stunning view; it beckons an inner awakening. “The Hunter’s Moon encourages us to honor our past, release what no longer serves us, and move into the future with gratitude and strength,” concludes Ashutosh Clairvoyant.
