How the September Full Harvest Moon Affects Your Zodiac Sign
The final full moon before the autumnal equinox.
September’s Full Harvest moon — the last full moon before this year’s autumnal equinox — lit up the night sky on Monday, September 20. According to EarthSky, the Harvest moon was the “fourth moon of summer for the northern hemisphere, and the fourth winter full moon for the southern hemisphere.” For those who closely observed the cosmic event, the moon looked slightly orange and appeared bigger, brighter than usual as it was closer to the horizon.
Astrology enthusiasts may have also noticed Venus, Jupiter and Saturn shining bright together with the moon, while others might have felt a special energy. “The energy that this full moon will bring will lead us to focus on family or chosen family, the ties that bind us, as well as the preparation for the future,” Seth Vermilyea, medium, tarot card reader and clairsentient of Psychics1on1, explains.
Read on to learn more about the Full Harvest moon and its effects on each zodiac sign.
Why is it called the Full Harvest Moon?
The Harvest moon is also known as the Full Corn moon. While many groups of Indigenous people in North America had none or similar names for the September full moon, it was the Algonquin tribes in the northeastern part of North America that came up with the name “Harvest.”
The name was born out of experience and winter preparation. At this time of year, also known as the autumnal equinox, the moon rises quickly after sunset, prolonging the light’s availability. As a result, those who are harvesting crops are able to work longer with more visibility from natural light.
