Full Moon 2009 Dec 2 07:33 - The Full Cold Moon; or the Full Long Nights Moon - Snow Moon (Cherokee) - Peach Moon (Choctaw) - Twelfth Moon (Dakotah Sioux) During this month the winter cold fastens its grip, and nights are at their longest and darkest. It is also sometimes called the Moon before Yule. The term Long Night Moon is a doubly appropriate name because the midwinter night is indeed long, and because the Moon is above the horizon for a long time. The midwinter full Moon has a high trajectory across the sky because it is opposite a low Sun. Blue Moon Dec 31 19:15 Thu - A blue moon gives us a time for taking stock of your life and family, and a time to give gratitude for that. A blue moon can also be a time for prophecy. Winter Soltice Dec 21 9:47 - Winter solstice occurs at the instant when the Sun's position in the sky is at its greatest angular distance on the other side of the equatorial plane from the observer. Depending on the shift of the calendar, the event of the winter solstice occurs some time between December 20 and December 23 each year in the northern hemisphere, and between June 20 and June 23 in the southern hemisphere, during either the shortest day or the longest night of the year, which is not to be confused with the darkest day or night or the day with the earliest sunset or latest sunrise. The seasonal significance of the winter solstice is in the reversal of the gradually lengthening nights and shortening days. How cultures define this is varied, since it is sometimes said to astronomically mark either the beginning or middle of a hemisphere's winter. Winter is a subjective term, so there is no scientifically established beginning or middle of winter but the winter solstice itself is clearly calculated to within a second. Though the winter solstice lasts an instant, the term is also colloquially used to refer to the full 24-hour period. Worldwide, interpretation of the event has varied from culture to culture, but most cultures have held a recognition of rebirth, involving holidays, festivals, gatherings, rituals or other celebrations around that time. The word solstice derives from Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still).

Thus, the name for January's full Moon. Sometimes it was also referred to as the Old Moon, or the Moon After Yule. Some called it the Full Snow Moon, but most tribes applied that name to the next Moon.

Some tribes also referred to this Moon as the Full Hunger Moon, since harsh weather conditions in their areas made hunting very difficult.

Full Moon 2010 Jun 26 01:38 Mon - Full Strawberry Moon - Green Corn Moon (Cherokee) - Windy Moon (Choctaw) - Moon When June Berries Are Ripe (Dakotah Sioux) This name was universal to every Algonquin tribe. However, in Europe they called it the Rose Moon. Also because the relatively short season for harvesting strawberries comes each year during the month of June . . . so the full Moon that occurs during that month was christened for the strawberry! Summer Solstice Jun 21 Full Moon 2010 Jul 26 01:38 Mon - The Full Buck Moon - Ripe Corn Moon (Cherokee) - Crane Moon (Choctaw) - Moon of the Middle Summer (Dakotah Sioux) July is normally the month when the new antlers of buck deer push out of their foreheads in coatings of velvety fur. It was also often called the Full Thunder Moon, for the reason that thunderstorms are most frequent during this time. Another name for this month's Moon was the Full Hay Moon. Full Moon 2010 Aug 24 17:06 Tue - Full Sturgeon Moon - Fruit Moon (Cherokee) - Women's Moon (Choctaw) - Moon When All Things Ripen (Dakotah Sioux) The fishing tribes are given credit for the naming of this Moon, since sturgeon, a large fish of the Great Lakes and other major bodies of water, were most readily caught during this month. A few tribes knew it as the Full Red Moon because, as the Moon rises, it appears reddish through any sultry haze. It was also called the Green Corn Moon or Grain Moon.
