Feeling ready yet for sweater weather? Whether you prep for fall with cozy knitwear, a brand-new ginger dye job, or an apple-picking trip (or all three!), autumn is coming — and with it comes a glorious and glowing full Harvest Moon.
On Saturday, September 10 at 5:59 a.m. (EST), the full moon will be in Pisces. Like the Strawberry Supermoon in August, the title of "Harvest Moon" is not an astrological term. This particular lunar event is so nicknamed for its closeness to the autumn equinox, which is typically around September 22 or 23, explains the long-trusted Farmer's Almanac. It goes on to note that the moonrise comes shortly after the sunsets for multiple nights in a row, thereby resulting in "an abundance of bright moonlight early in the evening, which was a traditional aide to farmers and crews harvesting their summer-grown crops."
