The October full moon is called Hunter’s Moon, Falling Leaf Moon or Blood Moon. As it appears in the sun sign Libra, (September 23 – October 24), the full moon will be in the opposite sign of Aries.
You can use this full fire moon to cleanse and charge your Witches’ tools before Samhain, the Wiccan New Year on October 31st.
A penumbral lunar eclipse takes place on October 18, which means that a portion of the earth’s shadow falls on the moon. This will appear as a slight dimming on the lower left side of the moon and will not affect it’s magickal powers.
October Correspondences
Flowers: calendula and marigold
