Full Moon Alert – 7th Oct 2025
This Tuesday, the Moon will glow in its full glory at 09:17 AM IST, lighting up the night sky from dusk till dawn.
This isn’t just any full moon—it’s the Harvest Moon, the glowing gem of autumn nights. Farmers of the past relied on its soft, silvery light to gather crops late into the evening.
The name “Harvest Moon” has ancient roots, with echoes from Native American traditions and European histories—though some say it’s a beautiful blend of folklore across cultures.
Back in Saxon England, it was called Winterfylleth, marking the start of winter, while during Charlemagne’s time, it was known as the Vintage Moon, a nod to harvest celebrations.
So, look up this Tuesday and enjoy a celestial spectacle that connects us to centuries of tradition, culture, and the rhythm of the seasons.
