What is the October New Moon named?
In 2022, the October New Moon will be called the New Beaver Moon.
For other years, depending on when the October New Moon is the name will change. It may either be called the New Hunters Moon, New Beaver Moon, or New Blue Moon.
If the new moon occurs towards the first half of the month it will be called the New Hunter’s Moon as it starts the lunar cycle for the October Full Moon.
If the new moon occurs in the second half of the month the new moon will be called the New Beaver Moon because it is the new moon that starts the lunar cycle for the November Full Moon.
It’s also possible the new moon will be called the New Blue Moon if it occurs in the middle of the month when October has 2 full moons. As the later moon would be called a Full Blue Moon, the new moon that month would be a new blue moon as it starts the lunar cycle.
Which season includes the October New Moon?
In 2022, the October New Moon will be the second new moon of the autumn season.
For all years, this new moon will always happen in the autumn (fall). It is frequently the first new moon of the autumn season, occasionally the second.
The New Moon in October will not be a seasonal black moon because there are not enough days after the autumn equinox for 3 new moons to occur before the end of October.
