The largest full moon of 2025, the Hunter’s Moon, will peak on November 5, 2025. Also called the Beaver Moon, this supermoon appears bigger and brighter because it’s at its closest point to Earth. It symbolizes preparation and abundance as winter approaches.
                                        
                        
	November’s full moon, known as the Hunter’s Moon in 2025, will reach its peak illumination on November 5 at 13:19 GMT (6:49 PM IST). This celestial event is also the biggest supermoon of the year, occurring when the moon is closest to Earth in its elliptical orbit, making it appear larger and brighter in the night sky.
	 
	During this period, skywatchers in India can witness the moonrise after sunset on November 5 and enjoy its luminescence throughout the night, weather permitting. It will be about 357,000 kilometers from Earth, creating a stunning spectacle.
	 
	The Hunter’s Moon’s name traces back to the first full moon after the Harvest Moon, historically associated with hunters preparing for winter. Sometimes confused with the Beaver Moon, which occurs in late November, the Hunter’s Moon signifies abundance and preparation. Astrologically, it falls under the Taurus zodiac sign, symbolizing grounding energy, wealth, and sensuality.
	 
	This supermoon marks a powerful time to set goals, practice gratitude, and embrace change in the coming season. Beginners and seasoned astronomers alike are encouraged to use stargazing apps for enhanced viewing experiences.
