All About September's Harvest Moon and What It Means for Your Zodiac Sign

Here's everything to know about September's Harvest Moon, including when it peaks

Mark your calendars because the last supermoon of the year is here!

September's full moon, nicknamed the Harvest Moon, rises on Sept. 29 and reaches peak illumination at 2:58 a.m. PT — and fortunately for lunar lovers, this lunation is to appear bigger and brighter than usual.

Like most full moons, many of the monikers we use to describe them have historically come from "Native American, Colonial American or other traditional North American sources passed down through generations," according to The Old Farmer's Almanac.

Similar to how August's Sturgeon Moon was nicknamed after a fish of the same name — one that was readily caught during that time of year in the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain — there's significant meaning behind the moniker of September's moon, as it can sometimes be referred to by two different names.

According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, the full moon that takes place nearest the autumnal equinox is referred to as a Harvest Moon. While this usually falls in September, it sometimes falls closer to October. When the latter happens, September is referred to as the Corn Moon.

While September's full moon — also a full moon in Aries — has symbolic meaning, astrologer Kyle Thomas says the lunar display energetically means "the energy of this Cardinal Fire sign will be infused within our lives."

Thomas — known for his cosmic guidance for celebrities, business executives and prominent influencers — tells PEOPLE, "We will feel fired up to seize the day, carve out our own paths, and follow the desires of our egos." He adds, "We will not be focused on the ideas or plans of others, we will prioritize our own needs at the expense of others."
