On October 17, the full Hunter’s moon will rise in the Mars-ruled sign of Aries, making it the biggest and brightest supermoon of the year. The supermoon in Aries will have a significant impact on cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn, as well as those with personal planets in those signs, specifically in the late degrees of 20-29. The impulse to heal will be particularly strong during this supermoon.
Astrologer Evan Nathaniel Grim explained that because this full moon will be conjunct Chiron, the representation of open wounds and trauma triggers, cardinal signs will face a trial by fire. Aries individuals will feel the effects most acutely in their first house of self. It will be empowering and overwhelming for them, as they work through emotional material that may be raw and visceral, leading to deep healing if they can be transparent and open with their feelings.
For Cancers, this full moon will hit their tenth house of career and authority, leading to potential reconciliation with authority figures and healing. Some Cancers may need to respond to a health crisis within their family or step into a caretaking role. This lunation could also mark a career milestone for some Cancers, pushing them towards independent work in the healing space amidst tense exchanges due to Mars being in the sign of Cancer.
Libras will focus on themes of partnership and alliance during this full moon, evaluating whether their allies and partners are contributing to their healing journey or creating obstacles. The quality of vulnerability in relationships will be crucial, with the potential for true communion between partners and trusted friends if both parties are resilient in their vulnerability. Relationships that are not aligned with the healing journey may come to an end.
Capricorns will experience the full moon in their fourth house of home and lineage, potentially leading to breakthroughs in healing regarding family. Some Caps may feel called to care for family members or come to terms with ancestral traumas. The full moon might signify the end of a living situation for some Capricorns, prompting a move to a more conducive environment for healing. The astrological effects of this supermoon will differ for each zodiac sign, offering opportunities for deep healing and transformation in various areas of life.
