magic in the moonlight

October 9, 2014

Indeed the sky certainly has been full of something this week. The eclipse wasn’t visible from my vantage point unfortunately,but I did rise early to see if I could catch a glimpse. The space station skimmed by a couple of times during the week. The moon continued in its growth toward fullness. What a week for things celestial.

While last night’s moon was full, it was not 十五夜・Jugoya or 満月・mangetsu – which take place earlier in August and September. Still, why not pause and do a little viewing? The sky was clear, the air still lingering of summer but with a hint of what’s to come…in North Carolina, it works.

While the days are still warm but not nearly as humid, I’m taking full advantage of the situation – simply enjoying the autumn light and some time to explore.

It’s the season for 月見・つきみ・tsuki mi – moon viewing. Right now, from my perspective, it isn’t full, but recently, I did see a full, golden orb in the night sky.

There may be specific dates for this event, but as far as I know, the season may extend into October.
