Why it’s called “Harvest Moon”

  • “Harvest Moon” is the traditional name for the full Moon closest to the September/autumn equinox (around September 22), not necessarily the full Moon in September.
  • In 2025, the September full Moon is earlier in the month (September 7), so the October full Moon is closer to the equinox, making the October 6–7 full Moon the official Harvest Moon.
