As you look up in the heavens this month and you feel more inclined toward romance, do not just stay home and dream of love. Go out and actively pursue tracking down some gorgeous prey, the two legged kind. After all, this month is the Hunter Moon.
Personal empowerment begins as you consciously delve into the mysteries that affect your behavior. Soon you will want to learn what influence that gorgeous Goddess Moon has upon your actions.
As you look up in the heavens this month and you feel more inclined toward romance, do not just stay home and dream of love. Go out and actively pursue tracking down some gorgeous prey, the two legged kind. After all, this month is the Hunter Moon.
The Native Americans tracked their prey by the Hunter Moon, stockpiling food for the winter ahead. And in Northern Europe, it was the perfect time for shooting migrating birds.
What Makes This Moon So Special?
The Hunter Moon is for hunting, either the two legged, four legged or those in flight? From sunset to moonrise, there is shorter period of darkness due to the seasonal tilt of the Earth. The Hunter Moon also appears bigger and brighter than the other moons, except for the Harvest Moon which just passed.
There is usually a warm color to the Hunter Moon as it is lower in the sky, passing through more atmospheric particles than when it is higher in the sky. It is reddish or orange tint accounts for another of its names, the Blood Moon or That Old Devil Moon.
The warm color is one of the secrets of the Hunter Moon, why it incites us to hunt our prey. Warm colors always stimulate your feelings. The sheer size of the Moon radiating down these warm colors liven up your emotions, giving way to your wild side, your passions.
Halloween
Halloween is just two nights before the Full Moon itself. It is a perfect time for the trick-or-treater to hunt down their candies and treats, threatening tricks of havoc for those that do not fess up their treats.
And for you, a little later, dress up as the sexiest, enticing costume while singing or humming the Old Devil Moon song. Red is the warmest of colors and it drives men wild. No wonder they have always called us the She Devil. Monks were to turn down their heads, never to look us in the eyes.
Moon Cycle
The Hunter Moon actually begins with the New Moon on Saturday, October 17, 2009. If we could see, it is the time when the Moon and Sun appear next to each other in the sky. You will not see anything though, as although the Moon is always illuminated by the Sun, it is the backside of the Moon that is lit. We only see darkness, which is why the New Moon is sometimes called the Dark Moon.
One or two nights after, just a sliver of the moon, a young crescent moon will become visible to us. And then the moonlight will increase nightly until it is the Half Moon (half of the moon is illuminated while half is still in the shadow). This year, that occurs on October 26, 2009.
Not stopping there, the moonlight increases until it is the Full Moon when we see the front side of the Moon which is illuminated by the Sun and reflects back to us that light. And then the moonlight begins to lessen, soon we will have a Half Moon again. Within a week, there will be a Dark Moon again.
The Fire For Your Actions
This whole cycle from New Moon to the next Moon takes approximately 29 days 12 hours and 44 minutes. That is the time it takes the moon to orbit the Earth, returning to the same position from when it began.

Consciously hold close to you the beams of moonlight. As the moon intensifies its illumination, especially from half moon to full moon, feel it inflame your emotions. It is your feelings that are the fire for your actions. Become fully alive, empowered as you embrace the Goddess Moon, that old Devil Moon herself.
