The full moon on October 6 will have an intense effect on these four zodiac signs

On October 6, a super full moon will rise in the sky. A super full moon occurs when the moon comes particularly close to the Earth and therefore appears larger and brighter in the sky. This proximity not only strengthens the tidal forces of the oceans but also our emotional ebb and flow. It brings feelings to the surface and creates a strong urge for clarity, action and liberation. Cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn are likely to feel the energy of this full moon especially strongly. They are called to act more intensely; they may have to take a stand, set their boundaries or make important decisions. For them, this full moon marks a significant turning point.

Mercury in Scorpio: Hidden truths and important conversations

Just a few hours before the full moon on October 6, Mercury will move into intense Scorpio, adding an extra dimension to the full moon energy. While the Aries full moon prompts us to act spontaneously and directly, Mercury in Scorpio directs our thoughts and conversations in depth.

This combination invites us not only to speak boldly, but also to look beneath the surface, to recognise hidden truths, to have profound conversations and to speak out about what was previously hidden. Communication will intensify in the coming weeks and the discovery of a truth or information will set things in motion that have been blocked for a long time.

Between ‘me’ and ‘we’

The full moon in fiery Aries is opposite the sun in airy Libra and expresses a fundamental tension: the balance between ‘I’ and ‘we’. While the Libra sun reminds us of the importance of relationships, compromise and diplomacy, the Aries moon demands self-assertion, authenticity and personal courage. Aries does not wait for permission but acts on its own initiative. The trick is to honour both poles and fulfil our own needs without neglecting others.

Time for emotional truth

This full moon is all about emotional confessions. Something has been building up inside of us, and the cosmic energy demands that we let it out. It’s no longer time to sit on our feelings. We need to express them, even if they seem new and not entirely rational.

With the moon shining brightly in the sky, a symbolic enlightenment is also happening in our own lives. New insights can arise now, especially in relation to our bodies, our leadership qualities, our ability to start new things and our close partnerships.

The full moon in October 2025 is perfect for this:

Stand up for yourself

The Aries energy encourages you to clearly state your needs and stand up for yourself. Now (plus/minus two days before and after the full moon) is the right time to free yourself from the role of the eternal compromiser and authentically say what you really want and, above all, do it. This honesty towards yourself is the first step towards real change.

Complete old projects

The full moon marks a time of completion, especially for projects you may have started about six months ago at the Aries new moon. Use the supermoon’s power to take the final step and bring something to completion. The cosmic support is on your side. Now is not the time to procrastinate.

Physical movement

The fiery Aries energy wants to flow through your body and needs a physical outlet. Whether it’s sport, dancing, martial arts or yoga, any kind of intense physical activity helps to channel the pent-up energy constructively. This prevents the tension from escalating into impatience or aggression. Your body is now your best buddy for expressing emotional intensity.

Have courageous, tough conversations

With Mercury in Scorpio and the Aries full moon, this is the perfect time for honest, in-depth conversations. Say what has needed to be said for a long time, even if it’s unpleasant. The good thing is that it doesn’t have to burst out of you; you can prepare yourself by writing down the most important points beforehand. Say what you think and don’t beat around the bush. Trust that honesty is the better way in the long run.

Get rid of the outdated

Aries energy is impulsive, courageous and daring. Full moons are times of letting go, and this one is particularly encouraging. Whether it’s toxic relationships, limiting beliefs, unhealthy habits or professional situations that are keeping you down: free yourself and let it go.

What you should avoid around this full moon:

Allowing conflicts to escalate unnecessarily

The combination of Aries fire and Scorpio intensity through Mercury can lead to explosive arguments. Even though honesty is important, it doesn’t have to be destructive. Try not to fall into old patterns of argument or deliberately target sore points. Authenticity does not mean being ruthless. Find a way to communicate your truth with respect.

Sacrifice your own needs completely

The sun is in Libra during this full moon, and this energy can tempt us to neglect our own needs for the sake of peace. But this is exactly what the Aries full moon is warning us against. Anyone who falls back into old patterns of self-sacrifice now will feel the consequences in the coming weeks. Harmony that is based on denying yourself is not real harmony, but a ticking time bomb.

Being careless with sleep

Many people experience insomnia during a super full moon because the increased lunar energy activates our nervous system and keeps us more alert. Reaching for caffeine or scrolling on your cell phone for hours at night only makes this worse. So no caffeine after midday and no blue screen light in bed. And when sleep comes, dreams under this full moon are often particularly intense and symbolic. Make a note of your dreams, because your subconscious is sending you important messages now.
