September’s Full Corn Moon

Post by Dragon Tue Sep 06, 2022 2:32 am

September’s full Moon reaches its peak in the early morning hours of September 10, 2022.

The full Moon that happens nearest to the fall equinox (September 22 or 23) always takes on the name “Harvest Moon.”

While September’s full Moon is usually known as the Harvest Moon, if October’s full Moon happens to occur closer to the equinox than September’s, it takes on the name “Harvest Moon” instead.

In this case, September’s full Moon is referred to as the Corn Moon.

This time of year—late summer into early fall—corresponds with the time of harvesting corn in much of the northern United States.

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.

Examples include Corn Maker Moon (Western Abenaki) and Corn Harvest Moon (Dakota).
