Buckle up, star travelers this month is an exciting one, with major astrological events ahead. Check out some of our highlights coming up this month below:
• OCT 7: Harvest Moon
October’s Full Moon is called the Hunter’s Moon. This year, it is also the Full Moon closest to the September Equinox (September 22), making it 2025’s Harvest Moon as well.
• OCT 21/22: Orionid Meteor Shower
The Orionids are the second meteor shower in October (Only one visible here, in Lake Tekapo). This shower peaks around October 21-22 but usually remains active from around October 2 to November 7.
• OCT 29: Mercury At Greatest Elongation East
This might be a good time to try and spot Mercury: The planet appears at its farthest distance from the Sun in the evening sky.
