Happy Moon Year

Our friend Ruth created this wonderful moon painting as a Christmas gift for me this year.

Yes, I’m a moon watcher. I love moon watching and taking photos of the moon. It grounds me, anchors me, and inspires me.

I’m looking to many opportunities to moon-watching opportunities in 2022. Here’s the full-moon schedule for the year:

  • January 17, 2022, Wolf Moon

  • February 16, 2022, Snow Moon

  • March 18, 2022, Worm Moon

  • April 16, 2022, Pink Moon

  • May 16, 2022, Flower Moon

  • June 14, 2022, Strawberry Moon

  • July 13, 2022, Buck Moon

  • August 11, 2022, Sturgeon Moon

  • September 10, 2022, Harvest Moon

  • October 9, 2022, Blood Moon

The Farmer’s Almanac also has a full-moon calendar that you can customize to your location and the UK’s Royal Observatory has great online resources for moon watchers and lunar fans.

Tomorrow, I’ll share some of my favorite moon photos from 2021. In the meantime, I wish you clear skies and great moon views in 2022. Happy Moon Year!

Happy Moon Year!
