With fields cleared, hunting became easier. This Moon is about precision and readiness.

October’s Hunter’s Moon arrives as a luminous reminder that the year’s cycles are shifting and that preparation, reflection, and intention are essential. Named for the traditional season of gathering and readiness, this full moon historically signaled a time when hunters secured food supplies for the coming winter. In modern spiritual practice, its energy continues to encourage focus on both external preparation and internal wisdom.

Spiritually, the Hunter’s Moon invites us to reflect on what has been achieved and what still calls for attention before the slower months of winter arrive. Rituals under this moon often emphasize mindful clearing, letting go of what no longer serves, and making space for what we intend to carry forward. It is a moment to honor accomplishments, acknowledge lessons learned, and set intentions designed to support strength and resilience in the months ahead.

This moon phase also encourages gratitude for the harvest of experiences, relationships, and growth gathered over the year. Practices such as reflective journaling, intention setting, or moonlit meditation can deepen connection to the year’s unfolding and help align with your deeper goals. Sitting under the glow of the Hunter’s Moon becomes a sacred pause, offering clarity, grounding, and renewed purpose as the seasons turn.
