Aussies will experience passion, drama and 'bold new beginnings' as a 'fiery' full Super Moon rises across the country today, astrologers claim.
The moon will rise bigger and brighter than usual today, kicking off a rare trio of back-to-back Super moons to close out the year.
'This is not just a spectacular sky show,' astrologer Rose Smith told Daily Mail. 'It's a cosmic shake-up which could stir emotions, spark romance, and even ignite a few explosive arguments.'
The Hunter's Moon, inspired by the northern hemisphere tradition of hunters using its bright light to prepare for winter, will pack a punch because of its placement in Aries, the zodiac's bold warrior sign.
'While Aries encourages courage, confidence and self-expression, it also has a fiery, impulsive streak,' Ms Smith explains.
'It shakes up the harmony of Libra season with its strong and uncompromising force.
'It is a time to be bold, to fight for what you want, and to pursue your true passions, whether in love, work or personal growth.'
Ms Smith, Absolute Soul Secrets, has urged Aussies to be cautious as Aries is not known for its 'patience'.
As a result, this can lead to impulsive reactions that lead to far more harm than good.
'My hot tip is simple: get enough rest and think before you speak. Otherwise, heated words could kindle regrets,' she said.
Full moons are traditionally linked to heightened emotions, but this one has extra bite.
Ms Smith said Aries energy may push people to dive head-first into romance, and say things they do not mean, or finally confront issues they have been avoiding.
'For couples, that could mean fireworks in both the bedroom and the argument stakes,' Ms Smith said.
'This is a time when breakthroughs or breakdowns are possible. Relationships could deepen with passion or unravel under pressure. Either way, transformation is on the cards.'
Super Moons like this one occur when the moon is closest to Earth, within about 360,000 kilometres, making it appear larger and more luminous in the sky. Astrologically, this magnifies its emotional pull.
Because October's Hunter's Moon is the first of three consecutive Super Moons, its energy is especially powerful.
'This one sets the tone... it is the cosmic green light to step into courage and change,' Ms Smith said.
Thanks to other astrological shifts at this time, there is also a heightened risk of exposed secrets, confrontations, arguments and outspoken behaviour.
'Expect some people to shoot their mouths off,' Ms Smith warned.
There are, however, great opportunities for growth during this period.
Everyone will feel this full moon, but fire signs Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are likely to feel it most. Aries also stirs things up for Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.
'This is a powerful reset,' Ms Smith said.
'If you channel Aries' boldness with balance, you could see exciting new opportunities in love, career and personal purpose.'
The Hunter's Super Moon officially peaks at 2:48pm AEST on Tuesday, October 7th, but the real magic happens after dark when it rises above the horizon.
Thanks to other astrological shifts at this time, there is also a heightened risk of exposed secrets, confrontations, arguments and outspoken behaviour

Taking small, intentional actions, investing in yourself and setting boundaries can make a lasting difference.
