October 2030 full moon: Friday 11 October in Aries

The October full moon is exact on Friday, 11 October 2030 at 10:49 UTC, with the Moon in Aries and 100% of the disc lit.

Meaning

A full moon in Aries brings a decision you have been circling to a head, usually one where you were waiting for permission that is not coming. It stands opposite a Libra Sun, so the pull is between what you want and what keeps the peace. The fortnight after is a poor time to negotiate and a good one to act on what you had already decided.

Rituals

  • Write down what you are ready to complete or release
  • Charge crystals or tools under moonlight with a clear intention
  • Practice a grounding meditation before important conversations

Questions about the October 2030 full moon

When is the October 2030 full moon?

Friday 11 October 2030, at 10:49 UTC. That is the instant the Moon stands opposite the Sun: 100% of the disc is lit and the Moon is in Aries. The instant is the same everywhere — only the clock reading differs.

What sign is the October full moon in?

Aries, because at the moment of a full moon the Moon sits opposite the Sun and takes the facing sign. It advances by roughly one sign a month, so no two consecutive full moons repeat it.

What time is the October full moon in my country?

10:49 UTC is Universal Time. Take five hours off for New York, add one or two for Madrid, add ten or eleven for Sydney. When the instant falls near midnight your local date lands a day either side of 11 October 2030.

When is the next full moon after this one?

10 November 2030, in Taurus. Two full moons are 29 or 30 days apart, so the next one normally falls in the following calendar month; the table above lists every full moon of 2030.

What are you supposed to do on the October full moon?

Finish rather than begin: settle the debt, return what you borrowed, send the thing sitting in drafts. The disc reads full to the eye for about a day either side of 10:49 UTC on 11 October 2030, and practice allows that whole window. Starting things belongs to the new moon a fortnight later.
