The full moon in Aries in tradition

Full moon in Aries, Sun in Libra: it falls between late September and late October.

The axis would set personal drive against concern for the other; tradition would see in it a moment to weigh what you grant yourself against what you give to your bonds. The almanacs speak of the Harvest Moon for the full moon closest, by date, to the autumn equinox: on the following evenings, it rises only slightly later, which once extended work in the fields. If it comes just after that one, it becomes the Hunter’s Moon.
