This is where the Harvest Moon gets its nickname.

Each of the 12 full moons of the year has a designated nickname derived from European or Indigenous cultures, which correspond to the events of the season. For example, the August sturgeon moon rises when large fish were traditionally caught in the Great Lakes region.

Typically, the Harvest Moon is always the fixture that falls closest to the fall equinox. Sometimes the full moon in October falls closer to the equinox than that in September, hence the famous nickname. But this year, the fall equinox is September 22, two days after the full moon, so the harvest moon is in September.

According to the Farmer’s Almanac, other nicknames for the September full moon are the corn moon (because it corresponds to the corn harvest), the fall moon, the falling leaf moon, and the yellow leaf moon.

What does the full moon mean in Pisces, astrologically speaking?

Each of the full moons of the year takes on the character of the zodiac sign in which they fall. This month’s Full Moon is in the sign of Pisces, a water sign known for its sympathetic outlook, daydreaming, and ability to intuitively connect with people.

In short, there is a good chance that the full moon in Pisces will make you feel the sensations. But instead of isolating yourself, the Full Moon asks you to connect with others from a place of openness and sensitivity.

Pisces full moons are a time to give and help, without the need for reciprocal acts. If there is a charity or organization that you admire, now is the time to help out, whether that is by volunteering, donating money if you can afford it, or amplifying its cause. The full moon, seen across the world at the same time, is a reminder of our interdependence. Let this sense of community guide your compassionate actions.

Astrologers are also examining how other celestial movements can impact the effects of the full moon. Neptune’s tender presence and the transformative presence of Pluto provide a window to heal lingering relational wounds. You might feel ready to start over with this person again when the lunar cycle begins with the new moon on October 6.

What rituals do astrologers recommend to try during a full moon?

The astrological practice of mapping the Moon assigns rituals to each of the eight phases of the Moon. Here are some rituals to try during the full moon on September 20.

• Given the imaginative sequence of Pisces, the full moon in Pisces can lead to particularly vivid dreams. Start a dream journal and write down the signs and patterns sent to your subconscious. Check out our Dream Interpretation column for tips.
• Host an in-person or virtual moon circle with friends, family, and people who allow you to be fully yourself. Under the moonlight, discuss your intentions, anxieties, and hopes for the month ahead.
• Meditation is especially important this month, as Pisces energy can cause you to take energy from others. Use meditation to find a place of peace and calm within yourself.
