Sunday, September 7
Full Moon occurs this morning 2:09 P.M. EDT. September’s Full Moon is also called the Corn Moon. 

 

Often, September’s Full Moon carries a second name: the Harvest Moon. This name is given to the Full Moon that falls closest to the autumnal equinox, which is September 22 this year. However, this year October’s Full Moon falls slightly closer to the equinox, so next month it will be crowned 2025’s Harvest Moon.
