List of Native American Full Moon Names and Meanings

January

Wolf Moon: The full moon in January. Said to be called the Wolf Moon because the wolves are out in the bright light this time of year – anxious and hot on the the trail for a feast to slake their hunger in the lean winter month. Also see my blogpost on January Wolf moon symbolism.

February

Snow Moon: The full moon of February. At this time the northeastern regions can give up their most heaviest of snow falls. This full moon is also called the hunger or hungry moon because the grips of winter can make it another lean month for the belly of both man and beast. See also February Meaning and Symbolism

March

Crow Moon or Magpie Moon: The Native American full moon names for March are largely based on these being considered the last full moons of winter; the crow caws its farewell to the season. Also known as the Worm Moon because they start to surface at this time, also signaling retreat of winter and the marching in of springtime. Also see my page on March Meaning and Symbolism

April

Seed Moon or Egg Moon: The full moon of April. Also known as the pink moon. Both names indicate the sprouting of seed and the explosion of bright beauty found in the phlox (pink) and other flowers rising for the spring debut.

May

Flower Moon: Full moon name of May. Quite simply, May brings bright brushes to paint the earth canvas with infinite flowers. In the full moon light of this month, the flowers are said to grow at night, and even dance in honor of the moon.

June

Strawberry Moon: The Native American full moon names for June is also easy to understand. June is the picking time for strawberries, when their at their ripest and fullest. Picking by moonlight is said to honor the crops, and insure bigger bounty next picking season.

July

Thunder Moon: Full moon of July. For these tribes, it was observed that this month is notorious for big booms of thunder and storms. Thus, the symbolic full moon name of “thunder moon.” Also referred to as Buck moon because deer begin forming their antlers at this time of year.

August

Sturgeon Moon or Red Moon: The full moon name for August. Those lazy days of summer when the moon is watched in its fullness and widens herself to the admiring sun. This is the month when summer kisses the moon most tender and we most often see a blush-colored or reddish hued moon. To the tribes of the Great Lakes it is a Sturgeon moon because this is when they are caught most.

September

Harvest Moon: The Native American full moon name of September is the famous “harvest moon.” It represents the most adventageous time-frame in which we can pick (harvest) crops from the garden. The Native Americansknew this – they knew they would have almost a half hour more time to harvest their bounty beneath the helpful luminosity of the moon.

October

Hunters Moon: The full moon of October. This is another symbolic moon name that’s obvious. This time represents the onset of prime hunting season. Heavy foliage is drifting away as quick as the season, and deer are a bit buggy this time of year. That means their easy to see clearly and easily downed for the First People’s purposes.

November : Beaver Moon

Much like your Crow Moon brothers and sisters, you too were born into a time of transition. You are uniquely poised to act on new trends. You will also be a trend-setter yourself. There is also a sense of urgency about you, it is as if you are always preparing for the next step in your evolution. You are also eager to help others move to the next level on their path too. So much so, the people of your tribe will ask for your help with transitions. You are a facilitator and love to create structure from chaos. You can easily get caught up in all the excitement of transition, and you can also get lost in other people’s drama. This blocks your ability to help and heal yourself and others. Your life lesson is about not getting lost in transition. See symbolic meaning of Beaver here.

December : Cold Moon Signs

As your moon sign name implies, you tend to have a cold exterior – but the fact is you actually have a glowing warmth within you that when nurtured and encouraged, will radiate outwards. In fact, this inner warmth of yours has the power to fuel the dreams of an entire tribe if you allow it. You, along with many of your winter moon sign family members have faced adverse conditions. But adversity is never your enemy, and you tend to miraculously overcome insurmountable odds with a casualness that boggles onlookers. You have a keen intellect with the ability to create effective strategies from the slightest bits of information. People in the tribe look to you as a person of great strength and stability. Your life lesson is about relying and trusting others

(as you tend to rely mostly on yourself).
