Full Moon — October 6, 2025
The Lunar Bridge Between Fire and Flow
The October 6th, 2025 Full Moon rises as a supermoon, closer to Earth, amplifying emotion and clarity. Its light carries both the fiery impulse of Aries (from a Hellenistic lens) and the gentle, flowing completion of Revati Nakshatra (from the Vedic view).
This moon opens a portal — a threshold where endings meet beginnings, where self meets soul. Below, you’ll find layered perspectives from ancient traditions and practical ways to embody this energy through ritual, breath, movement, and reflection.
Hellenistic Astrology Perspective — The Mirror of Revelation
In the Hellenistic view, the Full Moon is a time of revelation — the moment when the light of the Sun (reason, consciousness) fully illuminates the Moon (soul, emotion).
This lunation places the Moon in Aries, opposite the Sun in Libra — a cosmic conversation between the drive for independence and the longing for harmony. The ancient astrologers saw such oppositions as mirrors: where the world confronts you with exactly what you need to see.
It is a time of illumination through tension.
Ask yourself:
Where am I acting from habit, rather than authenticity?
What truth am I now ready to live, regardless of approval?
How do I reconcile passion with peace?
The Moon’s brilliance is purifying — bringing to light what’s been dormant in shadow, asking not for perfection but for presence.
Vedic Astrology Perspective — Revati, the Cosmic Shepherd
In Vedic astrology, the Moon traverses Revati Nakshatra, the final lunar mansion before the zodiac renews. Ruled by Pushan, the gentle shepherd and guide of souls, Revati embodies completion, nourishment, and safe passage.
Its symbol — a pair of fish — moves through emotional waters with fluidity, intuition, and grace. Revati energy nurtures all beings, offering protection to travelers (both literal and spiritual).
The Teachings of Revati
Theme: Completion, compassion, closure before rebirth
Deity: Pushan — protector of travelers and the lost
Symbol: Fish — fluidity, adaptability, surrender
Energy: Moksha — liberation, release from old karmic patterns
Under this Full Moon, the soul is asked to soften. What has reached its natural ending must be lovingly released. What feels lost is being gently guided home.
Mantra: Om Pushnaye Namah
("Salutations to Pushan, divine guide and nourisher.")
Tantric Perspective — The Dance of Union
In Tantra, the Full Moon is the Shakti peak — the flowering of lunar energy within the body. It is when kundalini (life force) rises most naturally through the subtle channels, seeking union with Shiva consciousness at the crown.
This is not a night for control but for embodied devotion. Tantra teaches that illumination happens not through renunciation, but through embracing every pulse of life as sacred.
Tantric Practices for the Revati Moon:
Moon Gazing (Chandra Trataka): Gaze softly at the moon until its image glows behind closed eyes. Visualize that light resting at your heart center.
Soma Offering: Before sleep, sip warm milk or coconut water with cardamom — honoring Soma, the nectar of lunar consciousness.
Union Meditation: Visualize your breath as Shakti rising from the base of the spine to the crown. On each inhale, feel expansion; on each exhale, surrender into blissful stillness.
Tantric awareness turns this Full Moon into an act of love — merging the finite with the infinite.
Kundalini Practices — Awakening the Inner Current
Kundalini Yoga approaches the Full Moon as a moment of heightened pranic sensitivity — the veil between subconscious and soul is thin. Practice gently; you’re already “charged.”
Suggested Sequence (20–30 min):
Tuning In: Chant Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo three times.
Spinal Flexes (1–3 min): Awakens life force along the spine.
Siri Om Sufi Circles (1–2 min): Rotate torso, releasing stagnant lunar energy from the hips.
Ego Eradicator (1–3 min): Arms up in V-shape, Breath of Fire — clears ego resistance to intuition.
Meditation: Sit quietly, palms facing up, visualizing silver light spiraling from root to crown.
Close: Bring hands to heart, chant Sat Nam.
Avoid intense kriyas; the Full Moon heightens emotion. Choose calm, heart-centered sets that stabilize rather than stimulate.
Ayurvedic Perspective — Balancing Lunar Waters
According to Ayurveda, the Full Moon increases kapha (water and earth) and ojas (vital essence) — enhancing nourishment, but also potential heaviness or swelling.
The Revati Full Moon invites lightness, warmth, and movement to balance excess lunar moisture.
Ayurvedic Tips for the Full Moon:
Drink warm teas: tulsi, ginger, or cinnamon to support digestion and emotional clarity.
Avoid heavy or cold foods; favor cooked grains, soups, and root vegetables.
Self-abhyanga (oil massage) with warm sesame or coconut oil before bed to soothe nerves.
Take a moonlit walk — gentle movement aids emotional release.
End the evening with a cup of hot milk with ghee and nutmeg to ground ojas and invite peaceful sleep.
Ayurveda reminds us: nourishment is a ritual, and tending to the body is tending to the soul.
Rituals for the Full Moon
Water Blessing: Whisper your prayers or releases into a bowl of water, then pour it into soil or a stream the next morning.
Fire Offering: Light a candle and feed it small herbs, papers, or seeds symbolizing what you’re releasing.
Feeding Ritual: Offer food to animals, birds, or fish — honoring Pushan’s care for all beings.
Moon Bath: Sit beneath the moonlight for at least 10 minutes, absorbing its cooling rays.
Chant: Om Pushnaye Namah 108 times to call in guidance and protection.
Breathwork to Harmonize
Moon Breath (Chandra Bhedana): Inhale left nostril, exhale right.
→ Calms the nervous system, enhances intuition.
4–7–8 Breath: Inhale 4, hold 7, exhale 8.
→ Promotes release and relaxation.
Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing):
→ Balances masculine and feminine channels (ida & pingala).
These breaths soften the mind and align prana with lunar rhythm — perfect before meditation or journaling.
