The Harvest Moon and Hunter’s Moon

From MoonGiant.com

October’s full moon is commonly called the Hunter’s Moon, harkening back to European and Native American traditions where hunters would use the light of the full moon to track down their prey and stock up for the coming winter. Contrary to popular belief, the Hunter’s Moon isn’t actually bigger or brighter than usual. It simply rises earlier, soon after sunset, which would give hunters plenty of bright moonlight to hunt by during the early evenings. To Neo Pagans, however, the Hunter’s Moon is known by a far more morbid name – the Blood Moon.

Humans through the ages have always found autumn’s full moons to be creepy, and not without good reason. There’s a reason why English folks in the Middle Ages called October’s full moon the Blood Moon, and it’s the exact same reason why even Halloween imagery today often features a large, low-hanging moon with an eerie reddish glow. The Hunter’s Moon rises early in the evening, which means that you are more likely to see it near the horizon. When you observe the moon while it’s near the horizon, it gives off the illusion of being bigger while it’s in fact the same size. In addition, observing the moon at the horizon makes it look redder. This is because you’re seeing it through a thicker atmosphere, which scatters more blue light and lets more red light pass through to reach your eyes.

Scientific explanations aside, the Hunter’s Moon or Blood Moon still holds an undeniable aura of mystique and power. As October’s full moon occurs right before Samhain, the Gaelic mid-autumn festival that has evolved into Halloween today, Neo Pagans consider the month of the Blood Moon to be a special time denoting the change of seasons and a prime opportunity to contact dead loved ones, given the thinning of the veil between the physical world and the spiritual world. Precious stones such as amethyst are used to ward off evil, and sacred flowers like chrysanthemum are used when working with spirits, such as in rituals to commune with long-dead ancestors.

Despite the Blood Moon’s spooky associations, it rarely actually happens on Samhain or Halloween night itself. The next time you’ll get to see the full moon on Halloween is 2020, and if you miss that, you’ll have to wait 15 years to see it in 2035. Sometimes, October’s full moon even happens early enough in the month that it becomes the Harvest Moon, which is defined as the full moon that’s closest to the fall equinox. In Chinese culture, the Harvest Moon is celebrated during the Mid-Autumn Festival, where people gather to celebrate by eating mooncakes. There is also a harvest festival in India that celebrates October’s full moon, called Sharad Purnima. Devotees fast all day before offering delicacies to the Moon God under the moonlight.

In contrast to the day-long fast of India’s moonlight festival, the Hunter’s Moon was a very important feast day in Europe as well as for many Native American tribes. Appropriately, the Ponca tribe’s name for the Hunter’s Moon is “the moon when they store food in caches”. Taking advantage of the fact that the fields have been reaped, hunters would capture foxes and other small animals who come out to graze on the fallen grains, as well as hunt down deer in the moonlight. They would butcher their prey and preserve their meat. Blood Moon is an excellent name for this month’s full moon, given that it was a final, bloody harvesting of meat before the winter months.

Sadly, the tradition of feasting during the Hunter’s Moon was lost around the year 1700, but its spirit still lives on in historical reenactments like the Feast of the Hunter’s Moon, or even the feast of candy enjoyed by trick-or-treaters everywhere on Halloween.

Moon Alert

Today the Full Moon in Aries peaks at 10:57 AM EDT (7:57 AM PDT). Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 10:30 AM to 4:15 PM EDT today (7:30 AM to 1:15 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Aries into Taurus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be patient dealing with others today because everyone has a short fuse, including you. That makes this the classic day for friction and thoughtless comments and retorts. Fortunately, after the Moon Alert is over, life get mellow. Mellow is better.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Something might be going on behind the scenes or building up within you at a subconscious level that makes you easily irritated with others. (Perhaps they are irritating?) Bite your tongue and let this slide because once the Moon Alert is over today, you will feel happier.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Expect difficulties dealing with friends and groups today, especially female acquaintances, because the Moon is at odds with several planets. However, after the Moon Alert is over today, the Moon will be in a new sign and you will feel a big shift.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a poor day to challenge parents, bosses and authority figures (including the police). Don’t even go there. If you argue with someone in power, it could be nasty. After the Moon Alert is over, life is much easier! Then you can ask for permission or approval. (And probably get it.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Steer clear of controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today because they will be intense and nasty. Nothing will be resolved. (There are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones.) After the Moon Alert, you will be noticed.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Steer clear of disputes about shared property, inheritances and insurance issues today until after the Moon Alert is over. Then you might be surprised at how easy it is to explore new ideas and put a new spin on things. Sweet!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today you need to cooperate and be prepared to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This means you have to avoid dissension and arguments. However, after the Moon Alert is over, everything will be more relaxed and supportive. Note to self: Be patient.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Avoid arguments about health issues, pets or anything related to your job or your work today. These might easily arise. The fact is it will be pointless to pursue them. (Trust me.) However, after the Moon Alert is over, you will establish an understanding by cooperating with someone.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Lovers’ spats, quarrels about kids and intense debates related to sports or social plans might take place today. Definitely no fun. Therefore, be patient and bite your tongue. After the Moon Alert is over, you will be happier and ready to get things done.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Avoid quarrels with authority figures, bosses, parents, teachers and the police today. Likewise, steer clear of domestic friction because this will accomplish nothing and simply make everyone miserable. After the Moon Alert is over, it’s a lovely day for your sign.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might be argumentative today when talking to daily contacts, siblings and relatives. Be careful because this could trigger an accident-prone situation, especially driving. After the Moon Alert is over, you will enjoy mellow times at home or with family members.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Financial difficulties might arise today. Take note of the Moon Alert and restrict spending to food and gas. However, once the Moon Alert is over, it’s all systems go for your sign. Plus, you will be eager and happy to talk to others because you have something to say.
