We are unable to open our hearts and feel only positive emotions. All of our emotions, including those of joy, love, compassion, and gratitude, are stored within our hearts.

Is tonight a hunter’s moon?
The full moon after the Harvest Moon is known as the Hunter’s Moon. If October doesn’t happen, it usually happens in early November. The full moon in October 2021 On October 20 at 14:56 UTC (convert UTC to your time), the Hunter’s Moon in the Northern Hemisphere will be completely illuminated. You might catch a glimpse of a full, round moon rising in the east in the early evening on October 21, or possibly on October 22. The Hunter’s Moon rises near sunset multiple nights in a row, giving the impression that this month contains more than one full moon.
On October 21, the full moon will be visible in eastern Australia and New Zealand. Because it is currently spring in the Southern Hemisphere, it is not a Hunter’s Moon. Therefore, the full moon has unique qualities.
Every full moon has a variety of nicknames, and the most are related to yearly months. However, other moon names, like the Harvest and Hunter’s Moons, have a seasonal connotation. The full moon closest to the September equinox, or autumnal equinox for the Northern Hemisphere, is known as the Harvest Moon. Typically, September 22 or 23 marks the equinox. The majority of Harvest Moons occur in September. But every three years, the Harvest Moon and Hunter’s Moon both occur in early October and late November, respectively.
The Harvest Moon was a time when farmers in North America could labor in their fields later and collect in the crops before the first freeze because of the moon’s brightness. Farmers would start hunting deer and other animals after the harvest to strengthen their winter food supplies. They could continue hunting well into the evening thanks to the full moon’s illumination. We therefore have a Hunter’s Moon today.
What makes this moon special?
Around the time of the autumnal equinox, nature is especially helpful, making the fall full moonrises special. The moon rises every day roughly 50 minutes later on average. However, a Harvest Moon or a Hunter’s Moon occurs when a full moon occurs close to the fall equinox. For many days before and after the full moon, the moon only rises (at mid-temperate latitudes) around 30 to 35 minutes later each day. The moon’s orbital path, or ecliptic, produces a sharp angle with the evening horizon around the time of the autumnal equinox, which explains why.
As a result, the gap between subsequent moonrises around the full Hunter’s Moon is less than typical.
Every Hunter’s Moon is unique because of the early-evening moonrises. Every full moon rises just before dusk. After the full Hunter’s Moon, northern latitudes may witness the moon ascending in the east rather shortly after sunset for a few days in a row.
The moon will appear bright and full for many nights from from October 19 to the 22 if you live in the Northern Hemisphere. You’ll notice a bright, round moon rising in the east during the evening hours on each of these nights.
The Custom Sunrise Sunset Calendar is my go-to resource for moonrise hours. Make sure to click the boxes for “moon phases” and “moonrise and moonset times” once you get at that page.
Is a Hunter’s Moon bigger or brighter?
No. A typical full moon with a unique journey across our sky is the Hunter’s Moon. However, many of us do believe that the Hunter’s Moon appears larger, brighter, and more orange than usual. Why?
It is as a result of the Hunter’s Moon’s strong aura of mystique. Around the time of the full moon, many people search for it just after sunset. The moon will always be close to the horizon after sunset on any full moon because full moons rise around sunset. Any full moon, even the Hunter’s Moon, seems large and orange because of the moon’s proximity to the horizon.
Near the horizon is an orange moon. A real physical effect is the moon’s orange hue when it is close to the horizon. It results from the fact that looking toward the horizon exposes you to more of the Earth’s atmosphere than looking up and overhead does. The sky appears blue because of the atmosphere’s scattering of blue light. The increased thickness of the atmosphere in a horizon’s direction scatters blue light the best, but it also allows red light to reach your eyes. an approaching full moon Any full moon that is close to the horizon may appear yellow, orange, or reddish.

Something else totally is the larger-than-normal size of a moon seen close to the horizon. Your eyes are performing an illusion known as the Moon Illusion.
How did the Hunter’s Moon get its name?
The names of the moons, notably the Hunter’s Moon, are surrounded by a variety of legends. Practically speaking, farmers and hunters could complete their chores at night thanks to the light of the Harvest Moon and the succeeding Hunter’s Moon.
In the fall, the full Harvest Moon rises just before sunset, as do the nearly full moons on the evenings before and after. Farmers can continue working well into the evening since the sky smoothly changes from sunshine to moonlight. The Hunter’s Moon was fully lighted a month later, after the harvest had been completed, as prey moved across the field stubble that had been left behind.
Who gave the Harvest and Hunter’s Moon their names? On autumnal evenings with full moons, their names presumably immediately came to the minds of farmers and hunters all around the world.
A note to those in the Southern Hemisphere
The Harvest and Hunter’s Moons revolve around the March equinox, which is your autumnal equinox, if you live in the Southern Hemisphere. Many of the broad points we make in his postabout Harvest and Hunter’s Moonsapply to you as wellin March and April of next year. Your current full moon will act in the exact opposite way from a Hunter’s Moon. That is, for the Southern Hemisphere, there is a larger interval between moonrises on succeeding nights around the time of the September and October full moons.

Meditation
It is advised that you unwind and settle into meditation before beginning your full moon ritual. Draw a deep breath. Stream soft music. And above all, pay attention to what the moon has to offer. You let everything go at the ritual’s conclusion. Eliminate any drama by finding peace with what is and what is not.
Forgiveness
Any full moon ceremony must include the process of forgiveness. Write down any resentments, complaints, or emotional scars that come to mind as you meditate to begin the ritual.
Fire
The list of forgiveness is then destroyed, ideally by burning it, as part of a full moon ritual. Although the fire may seem theatrical, it is a crucial part of the process. The piece of paper can be burned more safely in the sink or very carefully in a designated area of the backyard.

How does Leo react to the full moon?
Leo is ruled by the blazing and fearless sun, whereas Cancer is ruled by the enigmatic silver moon. Leos enjoy being out and about, flaunting their gorgeous hair and booty, and soaking up the attention. Expect gatherings during this full moon since it awakens everyone’s primal nature. Forget about staying in; everyone wants to dance, make love, or at the very least make out with a stranger when the full moon is in Leo. However, if you go out partying like a primal queen, be careful not to get into any confrontations because Leos are drama queens and full moons are often dramatic.
What distinguishes the Leo sun from the Leo moon?
When the Sun and Moon are in the same sign, their behavior is very different from one another. A lunar Gemini can differ significantly from a solar one. It can feel very different to interact with the two.
Because your rising can alter when you relocate, I’ve avoided using the rising symbol in this essay. It’s really of dishonest to compare house placements to planetary placements because the rising also determines all of your house placements.
Here are some of my observations regarding the differences between the Sun and Moon in the signs without further ado:
Sun in Aries vs Moon in Aries
The truth is that the Sun in Aries is not at all overactive. Although sometimes the most obscure Sun sign, this is definitely not an obscure Moon sign. A lunar Aries has the raw, dazzling vitality, in contrast to a sun Aries who can certainly enjoy telling others what’s what. They are far more stoic, but they are also much more submissive and eager to serve. While the Sun in Aries might be directed to take action, the Moon in Aries will rebel just for the pleasure of rebelling. While Aries Moon is constantly standing up and moving around, Solar Aries spends a lot more time within their heads.
The major distinction between the two, in my observation, is that the Sun in Aries prefers solitude far more than the Moon in Aries, who is much more sociable. Aries Sun like making major life decisions while sitting in one spot indoors far more than Aries Moon, who needs to venture out and experience new things. While Moon in Aries can frequently be late, Sun in Aries is virtually always early to everything. Both work on their own schedules, but Moon is more responsive.
Compare the Sun in Aries to a professional soldier and the Moon in Aries to a lawbreaker in the American West.
Sun in Taurus vs Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon has a genuine sensuality. There’s no way you won’t notice their social elegance while they’re around you. They are quite diplomatic in romantic situations. They also know how to honestly, genuinely appreciate things, of all people. When a Taurus Moon is at the table, you can tell because they always seem to know where the best food in town is. They have a sensation of luxury. They like the greatest quality, are willing to pay for it, and may choose to skip meals if they don’t find them to be appetizing.
On the other hand, Taurus Suns are direct. Despite their physical beauty, they can lack social grace. They focus more on producing material goods than they do on relaxing and appreciating what should be enjoyed. You’re probably not eating on a lavish budget when you eat with them. They are cramming food into their lips rather than tasting it. This placement is straightforward. They are extremely frugal with money as opposed to lunar Taurus’ excessive spending.
Sun in Gemini vs Moon in Gemini
The primary distinction is that Gemini Moons are more prone to saying “Gemini Suns, I’m not sure. Moon in Gemini is a little otaku-like. They are the ones who have been up all night researching every conspiracy idea over the past ten years. Conversations with Lunar Gemini are exceedingly light, effortless, and airy. They actually don’t enjoy being around others as much, though. They always appear to be bored and are gone somewhere weirdly imagining stuff.
Social behavior is more likely in Gemini Suns. They really leave the house and disconnect from the internet because of their curiosity. Additionally, they have much stronger energy. They frequently impart knowledge to others, and while around people, they may fly from one person to another. They certainly aspire to “It is more about giving answers than it is about asking questions when the time is perfect.
Sun in Cancer vs Moon in Cancer
Strong Moon in Cancer. Many of the clichs about Cancerthat they are secretly depressed and never leave the houseare true for lunar cancers. Lunar cancers can occasionally be a bit filthy. It doesn’t always follow that this placement enjoys having their own room that it is a lovely space. They love their own aroma, even though others may not find their space to be comfortable. Since they don’t trust new individuals, they genuinely really dislike meeting them.
As a more outwardly oriented Cancer, Cancer Sun is able to enter a location and make it cozy for the people they care about. The Cancer Suns are the ones who really bind a group together and seem to convey extremely honest, unfiltered emotions. While Cancer Moon prefers to scurry away, they can be a leader who rallies people around a cause. Although both signs have a tendency to be quite scheming, you can usually tell when Cancer Sun or Cancer Moon are angry with you.
Sun in Leo vs Moon in Leo
Leo Moons are much more subdued than Leo Suns are. You might experience a very warm feeling when speaking with Leo Moons. They engage you by focusing solely on you. They have a powerful, sincere feeling. You can see all of Leo Suns’ glitz and sparkle when you engage with them. More so than Leo Moons, they enjoy playing.
Although both signs are powerful, Leo Moon is less inclined than Leo Sun to aspire to be a leader. You can tell when a Leo Sun enters a room because they are greeting everyone and are the center of attention. They tend to demand things of others more frequently. Leo Moon is relaxing somewhere with their friends, grinning and smiling naturally. While Leo Sun makes you laugh at their jokes, Leo Moon laughs at yours. Leo Moon is more about emotional strength and is less overtly ambitious than Leo Sun.
Sun in Virgo vs Moon in Virgo
Virgo Sun is away someplace making their case through countless Facebook debates and dissertations. Even while Virgo Suns are meticulous about the things they care about, you can easily see their thought process, which is why they may be quite messy. They learn EVERYTHING and practice nonstop till they master a talent when they wish to invest in it.
Unless they share their emotional insights with you, you won’t be able to tell a Virgo Moon when you see one. Yes, they are observing and scrutinizing everything you do, but you won’t be aware of this until they cut you off or express their opinion because they believe you have made a serious mistake. They focus more on attentive observation of their environment than on developing new abilities.
Sun in Libra vs Moon in Libra
Actually, Sun in Libra doesn’t seem to care about being liked at all. In fact, people with the Sun in Libra tend to be extremely passionate about several social concerns and get a head start on everyone else when it comes to these topics. They clearly take a social position. They support pursuing justice and standing up for the weak.
The charm is more important to Lunar Libras. They are the ones who grin just the right amount and diffuse interpersonal tensions. They have a tendency to compare themselves to those they know, yet they also project a lack of concern. They sometimes have a much cooler and more refined social vibe than Libra Suns. While Libra Moon is more interested in one-on-one connections that may have a romantic focus, Libra Suns desire to be socially integrated with groups of people.
Compare a social justice advocate with the Sun in Libra with a heartbreaker with the Moon in Libra.
Sun in Scorpio vs Moon in Scorpio
The one with the greatest differences is definitely this one. Moon in Scorpio is thus just more ominous. Because they won’t ever confess it, you can’t tell when you meet a Moon in Scorpio. Because they conceal all of their terrifying shit, they can appear really bland and blend in. They are the ones who conceal information from not only their friends and family but even from themselves. In fact, a Scorpio Moon’s love hurts more the closer you are to them. When they feel offended, which happens often, these fuckwits want a lot of time and space and never give up.
The Sun in Scorpio is powerful and fierce. Unlike Scorpio Moons, who never talk about anything, they are utterly devoted to whatever it is they are talking about. Because they are openly interested in deep or edgy topics like the occult or chatting about sex, Scorpio Suns are easy to identify. While Scorpio Moon doesn’t, Scorpio Sun will endeavor to build a close-knit circle of people they can trust. The Moon in Scorpio may appear to be more outgoing than the Sun in Scorpio, but they may not genuinely have much faith in any of their friends. While Scorpio Moon is more likely to give their eight-year-old child the quiet treatment, Scorpio Sun is more likely to mobilize the entire community to oppose the misuse of taxes.
Sun in Sagittarius vs Moon in Sagittarius
Similar to the Gemini predicament, the Sagittarius Moon simply feels more relaxed than Sagittarius Suns. Because they are stepping back and taking in the wider picture of a situation, they may actually not care about anything. While Sagittarius Sun is more eager in using their experimenting to address important concerns, they might also be naturally funnier or sillier.
Because Lunar Sags really let loose, drinking with a Sagittarius Moon is different from drinking with a Sagittarius Sun. Sag Moons really want want to party, whereas Sag Suns are extremely into contemplating and philosophizing about the significance of life. Sag Suns are more interested in intellectual pursuits because they are here to disseminate information, establish new institutions, and circulate news. The purpose of Sag Moons is to make fun of everything.
Sun and Moon in Sagittarius are comparable to a preacher and a party animal, respectively.
