On the nights of October 6 and 7, 2025, the sky will blaze with a rare celestial wonder: a Harvest Supermoon that also bears the title of the Hunter’s Moon. A rare dual moon of gathering and pursuit, a supermoon beautifully integrating the rare dual identity and its layered symbolism:
This year, the two ancient moons, usually separate phases of autumn’s story, merge into one brilliant golden body.
It rises swollen and radiant, hovering close to Earth, larger and brighter than usual… a supermoon that bridges endings and beginnings, harvest and hunt, gratitude and hunger for what comes next.
Why This Moon Is Double-Named
In most years, the Harvest Moon (the full moon nearest the autumn equinox) shines in late September, and the Hunter’s Moon follows in October.
But in 2025, the equinox falls on September 22, while the October 6 moon sits closer in time… making it the true Harvest Moon.
Because there is no other full moon before November, this same moon also becomes the Hunter’s Moon, a rare overlap when one lunar cycle carries two identities.
Thus, this is both the moon of gathering and the moon of pursuit, a convergence of gratitude for what has ripened and determination to seek what still calls from beyond the fields.
The Energy of the Dual Moon
This moon hums with balance.
It asks you to harvest the fruits of your labor, the lessons, the growth, the wisdom you’ve cultivated, while also preparing your spirit for the next quest.
- Harvest aspect: reflection, gratitude, grounding, celebration of abundance.
- Hunter’s aspect: focus, readiness, intuition, pursuit of purpose.
Together, they whisper: Gather what nourishes you; release what weakens your aim.
Under this double-blessed light, you are both the reaper and the seeker, both the keeper of wisdom and the tracker of new dreams.
Ritual Inspiration
1. The Dual Offering
Place two bowls beneath the moon, one filled with what symbolizes your harvest (fruit, coins, flowers), one empty to receive what you still seek.
Offer thanks to the full bowl, then speak your intentions into the empty one, inviting the universe to fill it in divine timing.
2. Mirror of Transition
Stand beneath the moonlight and whisper:
“I honor what I have gathered.
I awaken what I now pursue.
In the light of the Harvest and the Hunter,
I walk the threshold of becoming.”
3. Moonfire Release
Write one thing you’ve completed and one thing you’re ready to chase. Burn the page safely and scatter the ashes into the night wind... feeding both the harvest and the hunt.
A Spell for the Twin Moons
Gold of harvest, silver of hunt,
One heart, one sky, one ancient front.
I gather my gifts, I sharpen my sight
I am both gratitude and flight.
Moon above, merge dusk with dawn,
In your glow, I am reborn.
This October Harvest & Hunter’s Supermoon is not just a spectacle of light… it is a cosmic mirror of life’s rhythm: to gather and to seek, to rest and to rise again.
Let its brilliance remind you that fulfillment and desire can coexist beautifully, that it’s possible to celebrate what is while still reaching toward what may be.
Bask, bless, and begin again. Blessed be.
