The Full Harvest Moon Is Coming, And It Might Make You Ruffle Some Feathers
On October 1, the Full Harvest Moon in Aries is happening.
This full moon will urge you to just do your own thing and find your happiness.
The moon will affect all zodiac signs, but Aries, Libra, and Cancer will feel it the most.
In the worlds of astronomy and astrology, it’s generally understood that you get one full moon a month. But, in some rare cases, you actually get two full moons jammed into a single month. That’s what’s happening in October, so get excited!
The first full moon is happening on October 1, 2020. It’s called the Full Harvest Moon, and it’s happening in the sign of Aries.
This full moon is going to give you a serious urge to do your own thing, according to Donna Page, a certified astrologer in Atlanta. But naturally, there’s more going on than just that.
Here’s what else your zodiac sign can expect from the Full Harvest Moon in Aries, and how it can impact your life going forward.
What is the Full Harvest Moon in Aries?
First, some astronomy basics: The moon has different phases and, during a full moon, it looks like a big, bright ball of glowy awesomeness in the sky.
Traditionally, full moons were named by the Algonquin people, who once lived along the Atlantic Coast and into the interior along the St. Lawrence River and around the Great Lakes. This particular full moon is called a Full Harvest Moon because it gives off extra light in the early evening, and historically, that gave farmers more time to harvest their crops after the sun went down, according to the Farmer’s Almanac.
How will the Full Harvest Moon in Aries impact your zodiac sign?
This full moon can be summed up in one phrase: Just do you. Sure, you care about the needs of others, but sometimes you’ve just got to take care of No.1, ya know? So, don’t be shocked if you find yourself turning down invites to socially-distanced hangs in favor of getting some much-needed R and R, or taking up a new hobby none of your friends are into. Channel your inner Ariana Grande and keep telling yourself: "I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it."
You’ll also have a super strong urge to forge your own path (while marching to the beat of your own drummer, natch), whether it’s approaching a work project in a new way or wearing something different, just because you dig it. And, if something keeps you from doing things your way, you will not be cool with it.
At the same time, you’ll be all about appreciating the little things in life. A crisp fall breeze, a BOGO at your favorite store, and a hot PSL from Starbucks will get you all kinds of excited, and why not? Live it up.
The Full Harvest Moon will impact all zodiac signs, but Aries, Libra, and Cancer will feel it the most.
How will the Full Harvest Moon in Aries affect your future?
Vowing to do your own thing, regardless of what other people think, is kind of a BFD, given that everyone tends to reach for outside approval here and there. And, once you start doing it around the full moon, you’ll realize how freakin' good it feels to do what you want, when you want it (safely and within reason, of course).
So, don't be surprised when you begin to think about what else you want to modify in your life. Maybe it’s time for a new exercise routine that feels more you, or maybe you’ll start hunting for a new job that’s more in line with your personal values. Whatever the deal, you can never go wrong doing your own thing.
Oh, and as for appreciating the small stuff—that’s pretty sweet, too. You’ll realize you don’t necessarily need a ton of big gestures or super expensive things in your life to be happy. And really, what could be better than that?
When is the next full moon?
The next full moon is on October 31, 2020 (a.k.a. Halloween) in the sign of Taurus. During this full moon, you’ll have a serious urge to just let loose and party.
Until then, enjoy doing your own ~thing~.
