What's Happening?
The September full moon, known as the Corn Moon, will rise on September 7, 2025. This moon is traditionally associated with the harvest period of northern U.S. Native American tribes, who historically harvested corn around this time. The Corn Moon is also referred to by various names across different cultures, including the Harvest Moon, Wine Moon, and Barley Moon. Spiritually, the Corn Moon is seen as a time for reflection and reconnecting with inner wisdom, marking the transition from summer to fall. The autumn equinox will occur on September 22, 2025, at 2:19 p.m. Eastern Time, officially signaling the start of fall.
Why It's Important?
The Corn Moon and the autumn equinox are significant cultural and seasonal markers. They symbolize the end of summer and the beginning of fall, a period often associated with harvest and preparation for winter. This transition impacts agricultural practices, as farmers prepare for the final harvests of the year. Additionally, the spiritual significance of the Corn Moon offers individuals an opportunity for introspection and personal growth. The equinox also affects daylight hours, influencing various aspects of daily life, including energy consumption and outdoor activities.
What's Next?
Following the Corn Moon, the next full moons in 2025 will be the Harvest Moon on October 6, the Beaver Moon on November 5, and the Cold Moon on December 4. These moons continue to mark important seasonal changes and cultural traditions. As fall begins, communities may engage in harvest festivals and other celebrations that honor the changing seasons. The shift in daylight hours will also prompt adjustments in daily routines and energy usage.
