Why the October Full Moon is called the Full Hunter’s Moon

The Fall Full Moon’s name is inspired by Native Americans and their activities for getting ready for the winter. They would start gathering provisions to get them through the winter.

In some years, the October full moon’s name switches to the Full Harvest Moon if it occurs closer to the Fall Equinox and the September full moon.

In years where the September Full Moon is closer to the Fall Equinox, the October Full Moon’s name is the Full Hunter’s Moon instead.

When is the Full Hunter’s Moon in 2021?

Mark your calendars for the October 2021 Full Moon. In 2021, the October full moon won’t be called the Hunter’s Moon as it’s on the calendar for Wednesday, October 20, 2021 10:57 EST based on the data provided by NASA. This date is further away from the Fall Equinox than the September full moon.
