The Farmer's Almanac first published Native American names for the full Moons in the 1930s and over the years these names have become widely known. Algonquin tribes in what is now the northeastern states called this the Corn Moon - as this was the time for gathering their main staple crops of corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and wild rice. 

European names for this full Moon are the Fruit Moon, as a number of fruits ripen as the end of summer approaches, and the Barley Moon, from the harvesting and threshing of the barley. 

This full Moon is also associated with the Chinese Hungry Ghost Festival. The seventh month of the Chinese calendar is the Ghost Month and a Full Moon is known as the Ghost Day – when spirits, including those of deceased ancestors, come out to visit the living. 

Have a terrific full moon. 

Autumn is definitely in the air.
