The figures
At 18:58 UTC on Monday, October 18, 2032 the Moon reaches 25°57' Aries with the Sun opposite at 25°57' Libra. The distance is 364,742 km, 19,658 km closer than the 384,400 km average — near enough to the mean that the apparent size is unremarkable. The degree, 25°57' Aries, places it in the third decan of Aries, on the axis that runs across to Libra. This one is also a total lunar eclipse, so the Moon is within range of a node at 25°57' Aries rather than merely opposite the Sun. It is the 20th of the 24 lunations dated for 2032, and the cycle it belongs to is set out in what a lunation is.

Why it is called the Hunter's Moon
The Hunter's Moon is the traditional North American and European name for the full Moon of October, and in 2032 it falls on October 18, 2032 at 25°57' Aries. Those names follow the calendar month rather than the zodiac, which is why the 2032 one lands in Aries at 25°57' Aries while other years put it elsewhere.
