Feeling a little out of sorts today?
Well, the moon may be the culprit, as it was the Hunter Supermoon last night (17 October), and it brought with it a whole lot of cosmic energy to shake things up.
But what are the zodiac signs most affected by this Full Moon, and why do they experience the strongest effects more so than others?
OK, before we get into that, it's pretty important to know why a Full Moon is so important.

Speaking on behalf of Tarotoo, tarot expert Inbaal Honigman explains: "The time of the Full Moon is the point of the month when the Earth is positioned between the moon and the sun.
"Full Moon nights are the nights that show us the moon at its fullest size, when all parts of the moon can be seen, illuminated by the sun’s light."
In astrology, Inbaal adds, the Full Moon is seen as a time of 'heightened emotions' when we are more sensitive to everything around us.
"It is a time of release - be it the release of locked-up emotions, or a release of a desire that we can finally let go of," she tells us.
So, if you’ve been desperate to get back with an ex, the Full Moon is a great time to say goodbye to this wish, and change direction.
"Since this Full Moon is in Aries, it will have a strong impact on passionate and determined Aries," Inbaal says.
According to the expert, those born under the sign of the ram live their lives in a 'state of over-sharing', so the revelatory nature of this Full Moon won’t make a big difference to their conduct.
However, they will be surprised to find out everyone else’s secrets, as this Full Moon is the great equaliser, meaning that nobody’s secrets are safe and Aries love honesty.
"Friendships may find themselves on shaky ground, as they struggle to survive too much truth telling," Inbaal warns.
Up next is Libra.
This is the Full Moon of Libra season, so everything that happens in the sky between the dates of September 23rd and October 22nd will impact the sign of Libra.
"This is a sign that strives for balance, so the hyper-emotional Full Moon, especially in the active sign of Aries, may cause Libra to feel a little off-centre," Inbaal tells us.
Libra can expect some drama at work, possibly even injustice around a promotion.
"People will be taking sides, and nobody’s confidential information is respected," the expert adds.
And last but by no means least on the rundown is Cancer.
Now, Cancer is ruled by the moon, therefore, the changes in the moon always feel a little personal to the Cancerian.
"Their sensitive nature can struggle when coupled with the energetic and bubbly ways of the Aries," Inbaal says.
"Those born under the sign of the Crab like to keep their cards close to their chests, so this oversharing moon may cause them to feel exposed and vulnerable."
She also warns that long-term partners could find out 'uncomfortable details' about their partner's lives from before they got together...
