October Full Moon – Release, Harvest & Enlightenment

Introduction

Every full moon, the sky offers us an intense light, an invitation to release what no longer serves us and to celebrate what we have sown. In October 2025, this lunation, also called the Harvest Moon, takes on a special dimension: it is the first supermoon of October, the closest and brightest moon we will see this month.
Its energy pushes us to harvest lessons, integrate transformations and radiate our inner light.

Dates & astrological context

• Full Moon Date: October 6, 2025 (exact time based on your time zone)

• Zodiac sign: Aries (opposite the Sun in Libra) — a lunation that speaks of action, self-assertion, courage, and truth (in the contrast between ego and relationships)

• Energy theme: illumination of shadow areas, liberation of patterns, affirmation of one's inner path, harvesting of intentions sown during the new moon.

This full moon is all the more powerful because it is a supermoon , meaning our satellite is closer to Earth, amplifying its visual and energetic impact.

🌝 1. Understand the energy of this full moon

This full moon in Aries highlights anything that needs to be expressed, released, or transformed. It's a time to identify patterns of internal struggle, lingering doubts, or repressed fears and let them go.
Aries, a fire sign, instills an energy of initiative: this lunation invites us to dare, to defend our truth, to boldly step out of the shadows.

💎 2. Recommended stones & their benefits for this full moon

To accompany this phase of liberation and enlightenment, here are some particularly aligned stones:

• Amethyst → helps calm the mind, soothe anxiety and promote intuition during emotional depths.

• Black tourmaline → protective, it blocks negative energies and allows you to stand tall even in the storm.

• Clear Quartz / Rock Crystal → amplifies intentions, purifies, clarifies thoughts and illuminates areas of shadow.

• Moonstone → brings gentleness, intuition and emotional balance in moments of intensity.

🪶 3. October Full Moon Ritual

Here is a simple, gentle and powerful ritual to perform the day before or night of the full moon.

Steps of the ritual:

1. Preparing the sacred space
   Cleanse your space (smudge with white sage or Palo Santo), dim the lights, place a clear candle (white or transparent) and your chosen stones.

2. Meditation & Introspection
   Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and breathe deeply. Visualize a moonlight enveloping you, dancing within you. Allow what needs to be released to emerge: thoughts, emotions, resistance.

3. Writing a Release List
   On a piece of paper, write:

   ✧ What you choose to let go of (habits, fears, beliefs)

   ✧ What you choose to harvest (lessons, gratitude, abundance)
   You can tear or burn (safely) the "let go" part.

4. Affirmation / intention
   Say, out loud or to yourself, a sentence that embodies your transformation:

   “I affirm myself in my light, I release what no longer serves me, I stand in my truth.”

5. Recharge your stones
   Place them under moonlight, on a selenite or amethyst plate, until morning to purify and recharge them.

🌟 4. Tips & precautions

• Avoid performing the ritual at the lunar zenith if you are sensitive: let the moment settle in gently.

• Keep a lunar journal : note down what emanates during the ritual (images, words, intuitions).

• Hydrate yourself well after the ritual (water + crystal or lunar water). Discover the benefits of lunar water in our dedicated article.

• If your mind becomes agitated, bring yourself back to your breathing or the sensation of your stones.

✨ Conclusion

The October full moon invites us to honor what has matured within us, to release what hinders and to affirm our light.
By living this ritual with awareness, you transform the lunar night into a bridge between inner tone and luminous intentions.
