It is the 18th of the 25 lunations dated for 2030, 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 2030 it falls on September 11, 2030 at 19°11' Pisces. The older alternative is the Corn Moon. Those names follow the calendar month rather than the zodiac, which is why the 2030 one lands in Pisces at 19°11' Pisces while other years put it elsewhere.
