The figures
At 18:09 UTC on Sunday, September 7, 2025 the Moon reaches 15°23' Pisces with the Sun opposite at 15°23' Virgo. The distance is 369,672 km, 14,728 km closer than the 384,400 km average — near enough to the mean that the apparent size is unremarkable. The degree, 15°23' Pisces, places it in the second decan of Pisces, on the axis that runs across to Virgo. This one is also a total lunar eclipse, so the Moon is within range of a node at 15°23' Pisces rather than merely opposite the Sun. It is the 17th of the 24 lunations dated for 2025, and the cycle it belongs to is set out in what a lunation is.

Why it is called the Harvest Moon
The Harvest Moon is the traditional North American and European name for the full Moon of September, and in 2025 it falls on September 7, 2025 at 15°23' Pisces. The older alternative is the Corn Moon. Those names follow the calendar month rather than the zodiac, which is why the 2025 one lands in Pisces at 15°23' Pisces while other years put it elsewhere.
