Game Thread of the Harvest Moon, 9.29.23

Post by rockycola » Fri Sep 29, 2023 6:15 pm

It would be great for the Mariners to score runs early, in great frequency, prolifically and shut the Rangers down cold.
But that wouldn't be Seattle's way, now would it?
Here's everything to know about September's Harvest Moon, including when it peaks

September's full moon, nicknamed the Harvest Moon, rises on Sept. 29 and reaches peak illumination at 2:58 a.m. PT — and fortunately for lunar lovers, this lunation will appear bigger and brighter than usual.

Like most full moons, many of the monikers we use to describe them have historically come from "Native American, Colonial American or other traditional North American sources passed down through generations," according to The Old Farmer's Almanac.

Similar to how August's Sturgeon Moon was nicknamed after a fish of the same name — one that was readily caught during that time of year in the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain — there's significant meaning behind the moniker of September's moon, as it can sometimes be referred to by two different names.

According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, the full moon that takes place nearest the autumnal equinox is referred to as a Harvest Moon. While this usually falls in September, it sometimes falls closer to October. When the latter happens, September is referred to as the Corn Moon.

While September's full moon — also a full moon in Aries — has symbolic meaning, astrologer Kyle Thomas says the lunar display energetically means "the energy of this Cardinal Fire sign will be infused within our lives."
Thomas — known for his cosmic guidance for celebrities, business executives and prominent influencers — tells PEOPLE, "We will feel fired up to seize the day, carve out our own paths, and follow the desires of our egos." He adds, "We will not be focused on the ideas or plans of others, we will prioritize our own needs at the expense of others."
Whatever all of that means, my interpretation of it is that the M's will win tonight, again. RIGHT? Seize the day!

We pounded Eovaldi last time and he has struggled his last 7 starts. Let's make it 8!

Speaking of Harvest Moons, anyone watch the Thursday Night football game last night and catch it when Michaels said "it's that time of the month" and then showed the Harvest Moon? Why am I such a juvenile? That totally cracked me up, and I could picture woman getting all pissed off because I found that funny.

You crack me up. The second I saw "it's that time............." that's exactly where my juvenile brain went, too. :lol: :lol: :lol:
