As the ground thaws in March, earthworms emerge — a sign of spring's arrival. The Worm Moon signals renewal, growth, and the return of vitality after winter.
Pink Moon (April)
Named for the wild ground phlox, one of the first widespread spring flowers. The Pink Moon is associated with rebirth, new beginnings, and fertility in many spiritual traditions.

Buck Moon (July)
July is when male deer begin growing new antlers. The Buck Moon represents strength, regeneration, and the height of summer's power and confidence.
Sturgeon Moon (August)
Great Lakes tribes named this moon for the large sturgeon fish most readily caught in August. It represents abundance, harvest preparation, and deep nourishment.
Harvest Moon (September)
The full moon closest to the autumn equinox allowed farmers to work late into the night harvesting crops. The Harvest Moon represents culmination, gratitude, and reaping rewards.

Beaver Moon (November)
November was the time to set beaver traps before swamps froze. The Beaver Moon is associated with industriousness, building security, and preparing for challenging times.
Cold Moon (December)
December's long, cold nights gave rise to the Cold Moon. It is a time of deep introspection, spiritual reflection, and honoring the darkness before the return of light.
