September Harvest Full Moon peaks, sits in Aries

natureSep 26, 20261514,005

The Harvest Full Moon reaches peak fullness at 17:49 BST on Saturday 26 September, and will rise shortly afterward for much of the UK, appearing almost completely full through Saturday evening. This full Moon is the Harvest Moon, the full Moon nearest the autumn equinox, which fell on Wednesday this year; the Royal Observatory Greenwich also cites Corn Moon as a common name. Observers in many skies will see the Moon rising close to Saturn, and several sources note the Moon is in Aries for this peak. When the Moon rises it may look yellow, orange or reddish because its light passes through more of Earth’s atmosphere, and current forecasts give the best chance of clearer skies across southern and eastern parts of England while western areas, Scotland and Northern Ireland may see cloud and rain. Expect the exact moonrise times to vary by location; it will rise shortly after the moment of peak fullness and remain effectively full for the Saturday evening viewing window.

I once saw two hares in the early morning sitting facing the sunrise. A lovely sight which I will never forget.

can we talk about how this is a notible gothic romance film instead of endlessly repeating the same "it's too drab yknow the middle ages were full of colour actually 🤓☝️" it's a gothic romance! it's allowed to be drab and moody this time okay!!

Eggers continues to make movies for what as far as I can tell is an audience that consists of me specifically

The Harvest Moon is the name of the full moon that is closest to the autumn equinox and this year it occurs today, September 26th. Traditionally this was a time for gathering crops. The Harvest Moon rises around sunset for several nights in a row, providing farmers with 🎨 Hannah Willow

extra light during the harvest season. For the ancient Celts, the Harvest Moon was considered a blessing, and it was celebrated with large parties, singing, dancing and feasting. This was seen as a time of abundance and gratitude, and for preparing for the cold and darkness of winter.

This weekend brings us the Harvest Moon. I drew just such a moon not that long ago.

Art. A drawing of a gold and orange full moon behind the bare limbs of a tree or bush. The tree is done in black. The background of the piece is a grey that is as soft as a mole's dream.

A friend and I were camping there in the fall of 1973, howling at that moon like wolves, high on lsd. Never forget it. That moon as a prop in an out of body experience.

Sat 9/26 full moon in Aries. COTD 8 of wands. It flew out of the deck. Important information is coming our way. It signals the end of delays and removal of obstacles, a feeling of success and satisfaction This fall season has surely started off with the bang, a burst of energy. Can you feel it?

It’s a full moon tonight! I won’t get a look because the nor’easter is doing its thing. But if you’ve got clear skies maybe you can see it #moon

I think I got a bat signal while trying to record the Harvest moon through the telescope lens this morning. 😁 #moon

A bat flies in front of a full moon from left to right and top to bottom.

If you see this QRP with your moon art 🌚

A digital painting of a female necromancer with horns and wings, reanimating a male corpse and making it rise from his grave. Dark ravens fly around in the background, and the full moon casts an eerie glow over the foggy cemetery. The magic effect around the necromancer's hands makes the shape of a heart with an arrow through it.

The Harvest full moon sees the release of Face the Wall. "After last month, where we were ‘looking for the happy’, we can just follow that line all the way through and come to Face the Wall, which is looking directly in the face of death.

A nice, cheerful subject. The lyric is partly about getting older, facing illness, and it's looking death in the face, which I think we don't do enough of." - pg The cover art is called ‘The Nest. Amos Rex’ by Tadashi Kawamata. Photographed by Mika Huisman. Listen here: lnk.to/PGS44

I have, it can be said, obnoxious temerity to claim my old poem as art with freshly written sincerity, it's not even a drawing but this lunatic urge is gnawing, perhaps I can hope for not too unkind hilarity.

In traditional folklore, the October full moon is known as the Badger Moon. Badgers use this bright moonlight to forage, cut dry grass or bracken with their teeth, and turn over their bedding bundles outside their dens to dry them before winter. #Folklore #FullMoon #Badgers #OriginalArt
