The full moon nearest the autumnal equinox (about September 23). Near the time of the autumnal equinox, the angle of the moon's orbit relative to the Earth's horizon is at its minimum, causing the full moon to rise above the horizon much faster than usual. Since the difference of the moon's rising time on successive nights barely varies, the moon appears to rise at nearly the same hour for several nights in succession. Because the harvest moon, like any full moon, must rise near the hour of sunset, harvest workers in the Northern Hemisphere may be aided by bright moonlight after sunset on several successive evenings. A similar effect is observed in corresponding southern latitudes around March 21.
Another common name for September's moon is "Hazel Moon"
September 23, 2010
The full moon of August goes by many names, but for many (Pagans at least), they call it the Hazel Moon. The name comes from the Celtic Tree Calendar which there are sacred trees that rule over a time period, that is most often 28 days. There are some disagreements over when the Hazel Moon actually happens, but the most popular observance is from August 5 to September 1.
