"Harvest Moon" is the full moon nearest to the autumnal equinox, which is usually September 21 (plus or minus one day due to the cycle of leap years).
It is called "Harvest Moon" because it provides an extended period of bright moonlight at the time when farmers would typically be gathering their crops.
In today's mechanized agriculture, moonlight isn't especially significant. However, manual farming took a lot of time and a LOT of labor in a short period: A poor harvest didn't mean that the farmer couldn't go on vacation, but rather that the village was going to go hungry that winter.
A sorcerer's moon is a term often used in fantasy literature to describe a celestial body that holds special magical properties or significance. It may be associated with enhancing a sorcerer's powers, influencing magical energies, or serving as a focal point for mystical rituals.
The first quarter moon occurs when the moon is halfway between the new moon and full moon, and one-quarter of its surface is illuminated. It appears as a half-circle in the sky, with the right side illuminated. It is also known as a half moon.
The moon appears red during a lunar eclipse due to the Earth's atmosphere scattering sunlight and filtering out blue light, leaving red light to reflect off the moon. This phenomenon is known as a "blood moon."
Many names of the moon are in regard to the full moon. This includes the full wolf moon, the full snow moon, and the full worm moon.
Third quarter moon is when the moon is halfway between full and new, while on the way to new. If you stand with your back to the sun, actually where the sun would be because its probably below the horizon, a third quarter moon will be about 90 degrees to your left, and the left face will be illuminated.
