The Moon, and especially the full Moon, is the protagonist of inspiring poems about its magic and beautiful phrases to dedicate and fall in love with, but it has also inspired in its daily life, for millennia, the peoples of humanity who have lived under its light for millennia.

Here we tell you the names that these cultures have traditionally given to each of the moons of the yearalthough you can expand this information and discover other details of each Moon in our 2025 lunar calendar and in the corresponding lunar calendars for each month. At the end of this article, you will find the dates of the next Full Moon of each month in 2026.

When is there a full moon in 2025?

In 2025 we can enjoy twelve full moonsone every month. It seems obvious, but it is not. Some years there may be 13 full moons and we find two in the same month, or there is a month, specifically February, that is left without a full moon. This will not happen this year.

The names given to each full Moon usually come from the Native American tradition, which is the one that has become most popular, and are the result of some times when people lived more connected to cosmic cycles and nature.

However, North America is not the only culture that has given names to the moons. Many other cultures have also referred to each of them using names related to nature or to certain customs of that time of year. It is not uncommon to celebrate rituals during the full moon to project our intentions or meditate on the full moon to connect with those desires that we are not always so aware of.

The dates of the full moons that we provide correspond to those of the time zone of the Iberian Peninsula (UTC + 1). If you live in an area with a different time zone, there may be minimal differences in the day when there is a full moon.

• Full Moon for January 2025: Monday, January 13. This first full Moon of the year, in 2025 the first full Moon of winter, is known as ««Wolf Moon».

It is also the «Moon of being at home», a name that many people surely subscribe to. The Celts called it the «Moon of the Rowan», a berry that ripens in cold weather. «Ice Moon» or «Old Moon» are other names.

• Full Moon for February 2025: Wednesday, February 12. The second full moon of the year comes at a time when it is not uncommon to see snow.

Shortages were not uncommon either, and some towns baptized it as the «Hunger Moon.»
• Full Moon for March 2025: Friday, March 14. The last full Moon of winter in 2025 will be in March, although surely, when we see it light up the sky, spring will begin to appear.

Another name it receives, related to what happens in nature, is the «Sap Moon», due to the bleeding of maples. In India it is the full moon with which the festival of Holi is celebrated. As in 2024, in 2025 the full Moon in March will bring us the first of the four eclipses that the year will have, but this time it will be a lunar eclipse: a total lunar eclipse that in Spain we will be able to partially see.

• Full moon in July 2025: Thursday, July 10. The Deer Moon will be the one that welcomes summer. It receives this name because it is the time when male deer renew their antlers.

• Full moon in September 2025: Sunday, September 7. The last full moon of summer comes in early September and is known as «Corn Moon»as this is when this cereal is harvested, although some years, if it falls very close to the autumn equinox, it is called the «Harvest Moon».

• Full Moon for October 2025: Tuesday, October 7. Every three years the October Moon is the one that falls closest to the autumn equinox. This is what happens in 2025 and that is why It is called the «Harvest Moon». When this is not the case, it is called «Hunter’s Moon», since it is the hunting season for foxes and deer, which find it difficult to hide easily in the bare mountains. In 2025, this Full Moon will be special, and not just because it is the Harvest Moon and the first of autumn. It will also be the first supermoon of the year because it is close to perigee, the moment in which our satellite gets closest to our planet.
