September 2022's Full Harvest Moon In Pisces Is Bringing Dreamy ... (Women's Health)

The Full Harvest Moon is happening in the sign of Pisces on September 10, 2022. Here's what that means for your zodiac sign, according to an astrologer.

That could be as simple as looking up Airbnbs for your next romantic getaway or as big as locking down an interview for your dream job. Your love life will be under the (dreamy) microscope, too. This particular full moonโ€™s name comes from a mix of Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. Each full moon lines up with a zodiac sign, giving off its own special ~vibe~. Well, heads up: The universe is sending one your way on September 10. Your day-to-day life is awesome, of course, but it comes with dose of less-than-exciting reality, like folding laundry and clamoring for a seat on the subway.

The Meaning Behind September's Full Harvest Moon (Newsweek)

In 2022, the Harvest Moon will first appear in the evening of Friday, September 9 before reaching peak illumination at 5:59 a.m. EDT on Saturday, September 10, ...

At this time, the sun shines directly over Earth's equator, and the length of day and night is roughly equal. Throughout the year, the moon rises an average of around 50 minutes later each day. To most observers, the moon will appear full from September 9 to 11. The Harvest Moon is unlike any other full moon. But on some occasions, it falls in October taking the place of the Hunter's Moon. Technically, the moon only turns full at a specific point in time.

Eyes to the sky this weekend for the Harvest Moon - The Weather ... (The Weather Network)

The last Full Moon of summer will shine in the night sky.

Later in the night, check out the Moon again when it is high in the sky. Note: it is possible for the Moon illusion to still work on us when looking at a picture or video. Note how big the Moon looks compared to the digit in question, and keep that in mind. Look again when the Moon is high above our heads and it will seem smaller. So, this year, like most, the September Full Moon is the Harvest Moon. So, to compensate, the brain interprets the Full Moon as being much bigger than it truly is. There are times when the Harvest Moon is in October. In fact, for an observer on Earth's surface, watching at moonrise, the Moon is actually more than 6,400 km farther away from them compared to when it's directly overhead at midnight. In Japan, this weekend is Tsukimi (which translates as "moon-viewing"), a festival to honour the autumn Moon and show gratitude for the harvest. the Moon actually looks smaller on the phone's screen. "For this reason, a number of Native American peoples traditionally used some variation of the name 'Corn Moon' to refer to the Moon of either August or September." This list is derived from the names used by various First Nations peoples, as well as from Colonial and European folklore.
