When I was writing When
the Waves Call I discovered that the harvest moon mostly occurs in
September, but not always. The harvest moon – at least according to my informant
– is the one which occurs closest to the autumnal equinox.
Accordingly, I just checked the date of this September’s full moon and it’s on 7th. I then did a quick calculation (or as quick as my ageing and increasingly flaccid brain will allow) and worked out that the time between the September full moon and the equinox is about the same as from the equinox to the October full moon. This year’s harvest moon might, therefore, be in October.
Don’t you learn interesting things reading this blog? I hope you’re grateful. (And it might all be wrong, of course.)
