In our part of the northern hemisphere the full moon appearance following the Harvest Moon is generally known as the Hunter’s Moon. Its appearance is typically in October - although it can also reveal itself in early November.
Before European settlement Native Americans knew it as that time of year when people would hunt deer and other animals to lay-up stores of food for the winter. The Anishinaabe people knew it as the Falling Leaves Moon while the fall bird migration led the Cree to refer to it as the Migrating Moon With the arrival of frosts it has also been called the Ice Moon or Freezing Moon.
The October full moon is going to be double your pleasure. The October Full Moon will be at its largest just after sunset today, October 9th. It will also appear just as large on Monday, October 10th. Bonus!
Fingers-crossed for cold, clear, viewing conditions.....
