The October 2024 full moon, also known as the Blood Moon or Hunter’s Moon, will light up the sky with powerful energy (is it just me or are October full moons the most powerful?), marking a time of harvest, reflection, and preparation for the colder darker months ahead.
So today on the blog I wanted to share some beneficial affirmations and intentions that you can focus on to really harness and make the most of this full moon energy. First though, let’s look at the types of energy we can expect from this full moon.
Energy of the October Full Moon
This October Full Moon energy is grounded and reflective, encouraging us to release what no longer serves, and make space for new intentions and goal setting. It will be an opportune time to really tap into your intuition and gain some clarity really making it ideal for personal growth, transformation, letting go of old patterns, and breaking free from negative habits.
This full moon will also bring with it a sense of focus and determination which will be helpful in aligning us with our goals and getting us excited to embrace positive change in our lives.
Traditionally, the October full moon is a time for gathering resources and completing lingering tasks before the winter months which also makes it perfect for personal reflection and growth. As the moon rises, allow yourself to step into the best version of you and embrace positive change and transformation within yourself.
Intentions for the October Full Moon
Okay, let’s talk intentions! Key words for this full moon include focus, clarity, release, renewal, transformation, growth, intuition, and change. Here are some of the best intentions to set during this full moon:
- Release negative patterns and habits: Let go of limiting beliefs, habits, cycles, or relationships that are no longer benefitting you.
- Embrace change and transformation: Set intentions to welcome in personal growth, even if it involves stepping out of your comfort zone. Perhaps even especially if it means stepping out of your comfort zone as this is where we make the greatest progress.

- Preparation for new beginnings: My favourite! Set goals for the future and align new intentions with the projects you plan to implement now before the new year even starts.
- Gratitude, abundance, and reflection: Reflect on the year and where you are at this moment. Express gratitude for the blessings you have right now and the things that have brought you joy throughout the year so far, no matter how tiny they might seem. Living in gratitude means opening yourself up to more abundance where you desire it most and in your life in general.
Focusing on these intentions over the next week will really help you align with the magic and energy that this October full moon will be bringing into our lives and help you prepare and make the most of the days and weeks ahead.
What are affirmations?
Now let’s get into some affirmation talk. Firstly, what exactly are they?
If you found yourself at my blog you probably already know but let’s just do a little recap. Affirmations are positive statements or phrases that help one to overcome negative thoughts or self-doubt and step into the best versions of themselves. By repeating daily affirmations, either aloud, silently, or in written form, we can change our thought patterns to embrace and reflect a more optimistic and empowering mindset.
They are also an incredibly powerful tool when trying to manifest personal goals, increase self-confidence, deal with difficult emotions and improve mental health.
Affirmations help us to reinforce beliefs that align with our desired outcomes. They help us focus on growth and positive changes that can ultimately aid in bringing our dream self and life into our current reality.
Why use affirmations?
Affirmations are a crucial part of cultivating healthy routines because they influence our mindset and how we perceive ourselves and the outside world. By focusing on positive, empowering thoughts, affirmations can counteract negative self-talk and limiting beliefs. Things that are most likely holding you back from reaching your goals.
These little phrases can help us to stay focused and motivated on our goals, and help us grow into more optimistic, healthier, and motivated individuals. If we are consistent with them they can help us to reach heights our past selves could have hardly imagined.
