How This Full Moon Might Affect Us: Physically, Emotionally & Spiritually

Our next Full Moon which fall today, October 6, 2025, is especially potent. It’s both a Supermoon meaning our emotions, insights and tensions may feel stronger than usual and also the Harvest Moon.
This moon is under the influence of Aries, while the sun is opposite in Libra. While Aries energy is assertive, bold, and direct Libra brings themes of harmony, partnership, balance, and diplomacy. This moon invites us to review our relationships to the self in relation to others, such as independence vs. cooperation and assertion vs. balance.
The Harvest Moon invites gratitude, offerings, and the celebration of abundance. It gives you the opportunity to acknowledge where you have grown, so this is an ideal time to stop and evaluate ourselves, to release and set intensions for what we want to carry forward.
Because the Full Moon is a time of culmination and illumination, the energy tends to push things upward, outward, and into the open. What does this mean in our physical lives? Well maybe you will notice that you have more:
Sensitivity: Some may feel more plugged in, or hypersensitive and may experience sleep disturbances, restless energy, and heightened senses.
Tension / headaches: The surge in energy can manifest as headaches, muscle tightness, tension in the neck, shoulders, or jaw.
Fluid shifts: Because the Moon influences tides, some believe that bodily fluids (water retention) or hormonal fluctuations may feel more pronounced.
Fatigue after the high: Sometimes the build-up is energising, but afterwards there can be a crash, or a need to rest deeply.
Heightened reflexes: Reaction speed. The Aries Moon can make us quick to respond; sometimes impulsively.
You may also notice your emotions and psychological state responding differently as:
Emotional highs & lows: Emotions that have been simmering under the surface may erupt. What you’ve avoided or suppressed may insist on being seen.
Clarity & insight: The illumination of a Full Moon often brings sudden realisations, "aha moments", or clarity about things previously fuzzy.
Conflict or confrontation: Aries energy pushes for assertion; there may be more boldness or willingness to say what’s on your mind (for better or worse!).
Release & letting go: This is a potent time to release outdated beliefs, relationships, habits, or fears that no longer serve.
Heightened intuition: The veil feels thinner; dreams, synchronicities, and inner prompts may feel stronger.
Inner tension between self and others: Because Libra is involved relationships and boundaries personal dynamics may be under scrutiny, especially where compromise, fairness, or duality is at play.
You may sense your spirit or soul during this period, so if you find yourself internally evaluating what you planted earlier in the year, then you may now bear fruit. This could be realisations, manifestations, or recognition.
You may notice that the light is cast on what’s hidden because the Full Moon can help reveal patterns that need to be integrated or healed. With Aries’ pioneering energy, spiritual calling or soul purpose may come into sharper focus. This is a brave moon; it may ask you to lean into vulnerability, speak your truth, or step forward in faith.
Because this Full Moon is potent, it may feel intense. Don’t push too hard. Some revelations arrive slowly and must be integrated gently. Be wary of impulsive decisions made in a surge of feelings or emotions. Wait 24 hours before acting on something radical, honour your limits. The energy might push you outward, but your soul may need moments of withdrawal, so stay grounded, and eat nourishing food and stay hydrated.
It is an important time to use the skill of discernment, not everything that “feels big” actually is, some emotions are simply energy passing through you.
