What the full moon names mean
Full moon names come from Native American, colonial American and European folk traditions, where each month's moon was named after the season's weather, plants or animals. They are traditions, not astronomy, and sources differ a little. The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the September equinox, which means it is sometimes in October, and the September moon is then called the Corn Moon. A Blue Moon here means the second full moon in a single calendar month.
Full moons and the zodiac
The full moon is always opposite the Sun, so it falls in the sign across the zodiac wheel from the Sun's sign. In astrology a full moon is traditionally a time of culmination, clarity and release, and a new moon is a time for fresh starts and setting intentions. To see which sign the Moon is in right now, use the moon calendar, and to find your own Moon sign and Rising sign, try the birth chart calculator.
