October Hunter's Moon: The Full Moon of Focus, Action, and Letting Go

October brings crisp mornings, warm sweaters, and a landscape slowly turning gold and copper. On October 7th, the Hunter's Moon appears, a full moon that for centuries was seen as a time to prepare for the darker months. It's a moon about focus, action, and completing what remains to be done.

Why Hunting Month?

The Hunter's Moon usually follows the Harvest Moon. In the past, hunters would go out during this time to gather supplies for the winter. The strong moonlight made it easier to hunt longer and focus on what was necessary for survival. Today, we see the Hunter's Moon as a symbol of purpose and taking deliberate steps.

The spiritual meaning of the Hunting Moon

This full moon asks you to be sharp, to take action and to let go of old baggage:

1. Be goal oriented
   Look at what you really want to achieve before the end of the year and focus your energy entirely on that.

2. Let go of what distracts you
   Like a hunter moving silently through the forest, you can cut through the noise to see clearly what's important.

3. Prepare for rest
   Winter is coming, now is the time to complete the last actions and prepare for a period of reflection.
