If it feels like 2025 has been chock-full of astrological events, you’re not going crazy. We’ve had a Corn Moon, the Lion’s Gate Portal, and enough retrogrades to last a lifetime. But I’m sorry to report that the craziness isn’t over just yet. This month, a supermoon will grace our skies, kicking off a series of three supermoons happening this year. And you guessed it—they’ll all have a big impact on your zodiac sign. But to make sure the Everygirls are prepped, I went straight to the experts to find out what to expect. And thankfully, this isn’t a period of chaos but rather one of movement and clarity. Here’s everything you need to know about the October supermoon.

What is the supermoon?
To put it simply, the supermoon is when the moon looks, well, super. It’s a lunar phenomenon where the moon appears far larger than normal because it’s at the closest point to Earth in its orbit. It doesn’t look like just any old full moon. It’s lighter, brighter, and has even more impact. “Astrologically, Supermoons are turning points—moments when our emotions are amplified, motivating us to be bold enough to break limitations and release what holds us back,” Iva Naskova, astrologer at Nebula, said.
When is the supermoon?
The supermoon will occur on October 6, peaking at 11:48 p.m. EDT. This supermoon is also commonly known as the Harvest Moon or the Blood Moon, named for its red hue or its presence in the sky when the autumnal colors begin to take over. This astrological moment is definitely a beautiful one, so be sure to look out your window while it’s happening.
Why is this supermoon significant?
The supermoon is in Aries, so you will likely feel the effects of the sign’s bold, passionate, courageous energy. It will push you to pursue what truly fuels your heart. “A supermoon marks a peak moment, a culmination where clarity arrives,” Naskova said. “This particular full moon invites us to look back at the past six months to see which projects, goals, or relationships are ready to move forward and which need to be released so we can welcome the new gifts the universe has in store.”
Naskova also said you can expect a strong sense of closure during this time. As summer ends and fall begins, we’re closing one door and opening another. It’s a time of reflection on what you accomplished in the past season, and what you need to feel accomplished and ready to thrive in the next. The supermoon carries a powerful energy designed to help you align with your deepest desires and intentions.
How will this supermoon affect each zodiac sign
Aries
Grab your favorite fall outfit, and get ready for the spotlight, Aries. Since the supermoon is in Aries, it’s your time to shine. All eyes on you may cause emotions to run high, but pay attention to what they’re telling you. This is a period for breakthroughs and big decisions. Release the past and move forward—but be patient with yourself, because real change takes time.
Taurus
This supermoon may shift your long-term goals, Taurus. As a sign that craves comfort, you might reach for luxury or material items, but they won’t give you the security you’re looking for. The real support lies in your loved ones. “Reconnect with family and friends and focus on what truly matters,” Naskova said.
Gemini
If you’re feeling shy, Gemini, it’s time to snap out of it because your career and public image are in the spotlight. Now is a good time to perfect your to-do list and set new career goals, whether that’s in your current role or a new job. Exciting opportunities are on the horizon, but so is added pressure. The supermoon asks you to get clear on what you really want. Emotions may rise, but resist the urge to act impulsively.
Cancer
Now is the time for Cancers to step out of their comfort zone. Sign up for a new class, book a trip, or dive deeper into your spirituality. Growth may stir up feelings of nostalgia, but keep your eyes forward and stay busy and engaged with the world around you.
Leo
As much as Leos love to be the center of attention, they rarely let their deeper, more vulnerable emotions show. But the supermoon is asking you to get deeper with those around you. Deep connections, intimacy, and healing are priorities for Leos during the supermoon. It can be a time of great transformation if you allow yourself to be let go without fear of judgment. It will bring you strength in your self-confidence, spirit, and relationships.
Virgo
Get ready, Virgo, it’s cuffing season. If you’re single, expect more opportunities for first dates and meaningful connections. If you’re in a relationship, you and your partner may be growing even closer. Just don’t neglect the other important relationships in your life. When you need support, lean on friends and family instead of trying to weather everything alone.
Libra
Libras, this supermoon is all about caring for yourself, not others. Your boundaries are getting a reality check. Get real about how you want your relationships to look, and have the hard conversations to make the adjustments you need. You’ve let others take advantage of you for too long, and it’s time to protect your peace. Make yourself the priority. “Self-care isn’t selfish,” Naskova said. “It’s necessary.”
Scorpio
Scorpios may feel extra energized and creative right now. Joy is flowing through you, making this the perfect time to express yourself through passion projects. Forget what others expect of you. Follow what brings you happiness and fulfillment.
Sagittarius
Life has been nonstop for Sags, and the supermoon is your signal to slow down. Your body and mind are craving rest. Spend time with loved ones, plan a cozy fall movie night, and give yourself permission to recharge. Before you can go back to your adventures, you need to relax.
Capricorn
Capricorns will be especially well-spoken with the supermoon, and your words will hold a lot of power. It’s a great opportunity to negotiate contracts, network, or have heart-to-heart conversations with those around you. “Stop ignoring your emotions, but instead open up and let your soul find ease,” Naskova said.
Aquarius
You’ve been on the cusp of change for a while now, Aquarius. But if you haven’t felt quite ready to take the leap, this supermoon brings clarity to what you truly want in your next chapter. You’ll feel excited to move toward your goals with confidence, but it also shines a light on your relationship with money. Are your finances helping or holding you back from building the life you want?
Pisces
Pisces will feel incredibly empowered under the supermoon, tapping into a bolder, more outspoken side. These emotions will push you toward goals you may not have felt ready to pursue before. Whether it leads to personal change or shifts how others see you, your strength will shine.
