The Harvest moon can occur in either September or October because it coincides with an astronomical event – the autumnal equinox. The full Moon that occurs nearest to the equinox (September 22 or 23 depending-upon your time zone) takes on the name Harvest Moon rather than its traditional name – the Full Corn Moon or Barley Moon. The name comes from this moon’s ability to shine light when it is needed the most – to bring in the harvest. In the Northern Hemisphere and in our time zone the Harvest Moon rises tonight.
