Full Moon Names

Each full moon has a traditional name inspired by nature tied to cultural activities that traditionally occurred during the month. The names used today are a combination of sources, including multiple Native American Tribes, Colonial Americans, and names brought to the United States from Europe.

The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the Autumn Equinox. It occurs in September in most years, but it shifts to October about every four or five years.

How the Full Moon Impacts Nature

The Moon, in addition to its light at night, has a physical impact of the Moon on the Earth and Nature. Moons’ gravitational pull on the Earth causes the tides to rise and fall, with the most substantial effect at the peak of the full moon.

Blue Moon

In 2096 there will be a October Blue Moon on Wednesday, October 31 because the month will have two full moons.

There are two definitions of blue moons. The most common, and the one you likely know, is when two full moons occur in the same month. The second full moon is typically called a blue moon.

The second definition relates to having an extra full moon on the calendar during a season. When a season has four full moons, the third full moon is also called a blue moon or a seasonal blue moon.

Harvest Moon

The Harvest Moon will be on Monday, October 1. The October Full Moon will be the tenth full moon of the year and the full moon in Aries. The Full Harvest Moon will be the first full moon after the Autumnal Equinox, making it the first full moon of Fall.

Depending on the year, the Full Harvest Moon may either be part of the Summer or Autumn season. In 2096 it will be part of Autumn.
