September’s Full Moon Breaks the Usual Tradition
• This September's full moon on the 7th is the Corn Moon, not the Harvest Moon.
• The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the fall equinox, which is on September 22nd.
• In 2025, the Harvest Moon will be in October, the first time since 2020.
September's full moon is the Corn Moon
This September, the full moon on the 7th is known as the Corn Moon, not the Harvest Moon. The Harvest Moon is traditionally the full moon that occurs closest to the fall equinox, which falls on September 22nd. In 2025, this timing shifts the Harvest Moon into October, marking the first occurrence since 2020. Consequently, this year's September moon does not claim the Harvest Moon title.
