The full moon following the harvest moon is colloquially termed the hunter’s moon. Next year, the harvest moon will occur in October, rather than September. Other names for this full moon include the Travel Moon and the Dying Grass Moon. The Hunters Moon of October is sometimes referred to as the Blood Moon or Sanguine Moon, as the Native Americans named this bright moon for obvious reasons. This happens because of the way the moon moves through its orbit, and makes the harvest moon obvious for several nights in a row. Note that some years the Harvest Moon falls in October instead of September.

Our nearest celestial neighbour will be in the constellation of Aquarius, the water bearer. The chart shows the position of the moon around that time, looking south. This year it precedes the equinox by around nine days, occurring in the very early hours of 14 September. This is defined as the full moon closest to the equinox.
