With all that being said, this is an excellent moon for doing something cathartic and/or self soothing. As the twins suggest, you could ask a nurturing friend or relative for advice, or pour a mug of tea and fill up a few journal pages. And if your house still looks the way it did the day after Christmas, they add, use this domestic full moon to get things back in order.
Scorpio season is officially underway, and that can only mean one thing: We have a Taurus full moon on the horizon. Not only that, but this full moon will also be the third of three consecutive super moons, appearing relatively bigger and brighter in the sky.
The full moons of late have been doozies, and November’s upcoming full moon in Taurus is no exception. It’s going to be the third of three consecutive supermoons, so it will look relatively bigger and brighter in the sky—and its impact will be stronger as a result, too.
October has arrived, Libra season is well underway, and with it, we have an Aries full moon on the horizon. Not only that, but it’s going to be a super moon, appearing relatively bigger and brighter in the sky. And as the closest full moon to the autumn equinox, this is the annual Harvest Moon, as well as October’s Hunter’s Moon.
Money on your mind, Pisces? As this Aries full moon moves through your second house of money, possessions, and financial security, this is a great opportunity for you to focus on and prioritize your finances. If you’ve been spending frivolously, or in ways that aren’t in your best interest, for example, you’re being asked to shape up.
If you’ve been feeling extra sensitive, emotional, or downright wonky the past few days, you can thank the upcoming full moon for that. We’re in the middle of an eclipse portal on the Virgo-Pisces axis, highlighting themes around practicality and spirituality—and this weekend’s Pisces full moon is sure to be peak eclipse energy.
The September full moon, nicknamed the “Corn Moon,” will soon be visible across the United States, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. Wondering what the forecast will be like or when the moon will be visible near you?
Here’s everything Kentucky residents need to know about the upcoming full moon.
When is the September full moon 2025?
The September full moon is slated for Sunday, Sept. 7.
Why is it called the Corn Moon?
Corn is typically harvested around this time of year (late summer into early fall) in much of the northern U.S., the Old Farmer’s Almanac says. Because of this, many Native Americans traditionally used some variation of the name “Corn Moon” to refer to August or September’s moon.
Other names for the September full moon
The Old Farmer’s Almanac says other names for the September full moon include the Autumn Moon, Falling Leaves Moon, Leaves Turning Moon, Moon of Brown Leaves and Yellow Leaf Moon.
When will the Corn Moon be at its peak in Kentucky?
The full moon peaks at 2:10 p.m. in Louisville on Sept. 7.
Will skies be clear in Kentucky for the September 2025 full moon?
The National Weather Service says skies on Sunday, Sept. 7 will be sunny and mostly clear with a high near 76 and low around 52.
September 2025 moon phases
The September moon phases are slated for the following in Louisville:
And just like that, the last full moon of the summer is right around the corner.
Here’s what to know in case you plan on tuning in.
When is the next full moon?

The next full moon, a corn moon, will be visible on Sept. 7 at 2:09 p.m., according to TimeandDate.com.
After the full moon, the last quarter moon will appear on Sept. 14 at 6:33 a.m., followed by the new moon on Sept. 21 at 3:54 p.m. and the first quarter moon on Sept. 29 at 7:54 p.m., according to the Almanac.
What is a corn moon? What is a harvest moon?

In September, the full moon is known as the corn moon and stems from Native American tribes harvesting corn during this time. A corn moon is also known as the “autumn moon,” “falling leaves moon,” “wine moon,” “barley moon” and “song moon” in Native American and Celtic cultures, according to Almanac.
September’s moon can also be the harvest moon, which is the first full moon occurring nearest to the autumnal equinox, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.
The harvest moon, a name given to whichever moon lands the closest to the September equinox around Sept. 22, typically occurs in September but occasionally lands in October around every three years. September’s full moon is not the harvest moon this year.
The “harvest” moniker stems from the moonrise coming soon after sunset for several evenings. This results in an abundance of bright moonlight early in the evening, which has traditionally been a helpful resource for farmers and crews harvesting their summer-grown crops, according to Old Farmer’s Almanac.
The full hunter’s moon rises over Barnstable Harbor, Massachusetts, on Oct. 20, 2021. As you may have guessed, October is named the hunter’s moon because October is prime hunting season.
Looking ahead, October’s full moon is on Oct. 6 at 11:47 p.m. It is called the “hunter’s moon” and is named after the practice of hunting and preserving meats for the coming winter. Like September’s corn moon, if the hunter’s moon occurs closest to the fall equinox, it is called the harvest moon, TimeandDate.com reports.
This year, October’s full moon is the harvest moon.
Alternative names for the hunter’s moon are the “drying rice moon,” “sanguine moon,” “seed fall moon” and “blood moon” (which is different from the total lunar eclipse blood moon that is called such due to its reddish tinge).
As the full moon closest to the autumn equinox, this is known as the “Harvest moon,” and it will also be a supermoon, orbiting slightly closer to Earth, making the moon appear larger. And as a partial lunar eclipse, this is an extra special moon, kicking off eclipse season along the Virgo-Pisces axis.
August is well underway, with just one week left of Leo season. But first, we’re gearing up for a full moon in Leo’s opposite sign, Aquarius, with a focus on humanitarianism and radical change. And if that weren’t enough, this is also a rare super blue moon!
These changes, she explains, are here to broaden your perspective, After all, Aquarius urges us all to try something new, so Quinn suggests asking yourself where a fresh perspective could support your relationships. “It definitely might feel uncomfortable, but it’s important for you to see what it’s trying to teach you,” she adds.
Acknowledge all the things you’ve accomplished so far, spend time reflecting on that, and make sure you’re still staying the course on your intentions during this full moon, Quinn says, adding to expect things to get resolved—or, expect things that are unresolved to come to the surface and get cleared out.
Mark your calendars and turn to the sky — there will be another exciting celestial event Friday night, right after the start of summer.
The full moon, called a “strawberry moon” because of its pink or reddish hue, is expected to appear right after the summer solstice, which marks the onset of summer and the longest period of sunlight of the year for the Northern Hemisphere, according to NASA.
The moon is expected at 9:08 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and will be opposite to the sun, according to NASA. In Los Angeles, the moon is expected to rise at about 7:24 p.m. and reach the highest point in the sky at 12:13 a.m. Local times can be found at timeanddate.com.
The full moon only occurs within a day of the summer solstice about every 19 to 20 years, according to Space.com. This time around, the moon is expected to appear full for about three days.
The name “strawberry moon” comes from the Indigenous American Algonquin tribes to describe when strawberries ripen in June and are ready to be collected, according to the Farmer’s Almanac.
“Since the 2024 June full Moon happens on the solstice, the very day the Sun is absolutely at its highest of the year, this month’s full Moon on the 21st is the very lowest full Moon, indeed, the lowest we’ve seen in years,” the Almanac reported. “Just look at it! Because the Moon is so low, it will appear bigger than ever. This is called the ‘Moon Illusion.’”
The European name for this moon is the “mead” or “honey moon,” according to NASA. Mead, known in some countries as honey wine, is created by fermenting honey with fruits or other spices. Meanwhile, the term “honeymoon” dates back to Europe in the 1500s and references getting married in June because it’s the “sweetest” moon of the year.
The moon will take on a reddish orange color due to how low it will hang in the sky and its close proximity to the horizon. Because of how low the moon will be, that also means the sky will be darker due to lower levels of moonlight.
And if anything is holding you back, it’s going to be obvious to you, thanks to Scorpio’s scrutinizing nature. According to Quinn, this moon is also forming a square to Pluto in Aquarius, which could result in hidden truths coming to light, or even a spiritual awakening. If there’s anything you haven’t been willing to face, she adds, “there’s nowhere else to look.”
Slowing down isn’t your strong suit, Gemini, but under these moonbeams, it’s what you need. As Quinn tells mindbodygreen, this full moon lands in your sixth house of service, self-care, and health, so it’s time to tend to yourself. And if you’ve been neglecting yourself in any way, she adds, you’re going to feel the push now to change some routines.
The full moon rolls around once every 28 days, bringing with it a hefty dose of energy, as the peak of the lunar cycle. As the moon illuminates the night sky, it’s also a great time to turn inward and do some intentional practices to work with the moon’s energy—and that’s where full moon rituals come in.
“With this full moon in Libra and lunar eclipse, we can expect the unexpected, because eclipse seasons push our destiny, our purpose, and our higher timelines into alignment,” she explains, adding, “So it’s not typically a time to manifest—it’s a time to surrender and release and let the universe take charge.”
March’s full moon is right around the corner, and having just entered Aries season, this full moon will be in Aries’ opposite sign, Libra. And even though we celebrated New Year’s a few months back, the astrological new year is technically the spring equinox, making this the first full moon of the astrological year.
In terms of other planetary aspects to watch around this full moon, Mercury, Saturn, and the sun are all conjunct in Pisces, forming oppositions to this moon. As such, Quinn notes, we’ll need to be mindful of clear communication and avoiding nebulous conversations, with Pisces influencing Mercury.
