Under a Cold Moon

No prizes are being handed out for guessing why the new supermoon making an appearance today (11.14pm GMT) is called the Cold Moon.

Natives of North America, these wonderful souls at one with nature gave names to the moons in a bid to track the seasons.

With the Winter Solstice approaching on the 21st, the sun will be at its lowest and the moon at its highest.

Did you know the moon’s orbit( Elliptical orbit) isn’t a perfect circle but slightly oval-shaped?

When I was little, Cowboy and Indian movies ( Westerns) were popular and often on TV. I remember vividly, I can’t have been very old, watching a part of one film where the Indians on horseback were circling a wagon train. Arrows were flying one way and bullets another. I distinctly remember thinking to myself that should I be part of that scenario, I would lay down and pretend to be dead- A little insight there into the mind of a child

Under a Beaver Moon

The biggest and brightest of three consecutive supermoons to end the year will be at the height of its illumination at 1.19pm local time, Uk, today

A supermoon is one that coincides with the moon being at its closest point to the Earth, in its orbit.

The name Beaver comes from native American tribes. It’s the time of year when the animals prepare their lodges for winter.

For us, it is the time for refection, preparation, and gratitude. Stability and patience. A moment to ground ourselves and strengthen our spirits for the year ahead

Shoot for the moon…Confused? You will be

Tonight October 7th is the first of three consecutive supermoons. This lunar occurrence is rare. It happens when the full moon coincides with a moon being in the  closest proximity to Earth.

The Corn, Barley and/or Harvest moon can sometimes be the same thing. Depending where you go for info.

Traditionally , the Harvest Moon is the one closest to the Autumn equinox around Sept 22nd. Which make it in September or October. October sounds late for harvesting, doesn’t it? That’s all been done and dusted for a while now.

The Hunters Moon, which October usually brings sounds more apt- the gathering of meat to store for the colder months. It’s easily done when the fields have been pretty much razed to the ground, and wildlife has nowhere to hide..no way of getting from A-B safely.

Tonight, it will be billed as The Harvest Supermoon…but it won’t stop hunters from going out, though, will it? 😭
