The Winter Sleep Moon, also known as the Beaver Moon (Old Farmer's Almanac) and sometimes the Cold Moon, is full today at 6:14pm, a few hours after moonrise in my part of the world. This is the third full supermoon of 2025, being large and silvery at moonrise; but our satellite is not quite as… Continue reading The Daily: 4 December 2025
The Hunter's Moon rises full today at 4:17pm. The time of rising and setting varies by latitude. Those further north will see moonrise a little bit later, further south a bit earlier, but still somewhere around 4-5pm local time. However, the Moon will turn full at the same moment all around the globe, but at… Continue reading The Daily: 5 November 2025
The Harvest Moon is full today at 11:47pm my time. Moonrise is at 5:55 tonight, preceding fullness by less than six hours and sunset by about twenty minutes, eliminating the time of darkness between sunlight and moonlight. This is the Harvest Moon because it is closest to the autumn equinox, and geometry at this time… Continue reading The Daily: 6 October 2025
Moon in total eclipse The Nutting Moon is full at 2:09pm my time. This moon comes with a dramatic total lunar eclipse visible in Australia, Asia, and the eastern parts of Africa and Europe. Western Australia and Southeast Asia get the best seats. But, as with all eclipses, there will be plenty of live-streams for… Continue reading The Daily: 7 September 2025
The Blueberry Moon is full early this morning at 3:54am. Last night's moonrise was closest, but tonight's will still be almost full. If you have breathable air, go enjoy the radiance for all of us who are living in perpetual eclipse. Meanwhile, here is a story for the Blueberry Moon... I started writing a story… Continue reading The Daily: 9 August 2025
The Strawberry Moon is full at 3:44am this morning here in Vermont. I expect most of us will miss that moment of fullness, though I have been having insomniac nights lately. Too much to do. I have those lists of things that did not get done plaguing the predawn hours. Still, there isn't much to… Continue reading The Daily: 11 June 2025
The Daily for 23 May 2024: The Full Flower Moon and the Matter of Britain...
The Greenleaf Moon is full today at 8:22pm. I haven't said much about this moon cycle because it hasn't felt very accurate this year. In the past, you could count on the sugar season ending when this moon is new and new leaves washing the bare trees in spring green. Some years there are apple… Continue reading The Daily: 12 April 2025
The fifth moon of my solar year is the Sap Moon, which was spectacularly full in full eclipse at 2:55am this morning. The fifth moon is new between 24 February and 24 March, full between 10 March and 7 April. This is a period of rapid change. The Sap Moon rarely sees the same weather from… Continue reading The Daily: 14 March 2025
The Snow Moon is full today at 8:53am, so when it rises tonight it will be closest to full. This happens at about 5:30pm here in my part of the world, with sunset about fifteen minutes before moonrise. Just after sunset, Mars will be near the moon in the east; Jupiter will be overhead; and… Continue reading The Daily: 12 February 2025
