Are there any traditions or stories about the Harvest Moon in your family or culture?

Pregnancy in the Harvest Moon (and Story of Seasons) series typically triggers naturally after marriage once specific requirements like a house upgrade and a child's bed are met. General Requirements

Marriage: You must be married to your chosen spouse.

Time Passed: Usually, you need to wait about 28 to 30 days (roughly one season) after your wedding ceremony.

House Upgrades & Furniture: You must upgrade your house to the required size and purchase a Crib or Child Bed from a local shop or carpenter.

Spouse Affection: Your spouse must maintain a high affection level (such as a red heart or full bloom flowers

in Mexico... for all of the ancient cultures, his full moon was one of the most, if not the most significant ones... because it was related to maize, to corn and this being the most important resource in the region... there were a lot of rituals and celebrations, events of all kinds

maize and all other dozens of seeds as well... and probably a few sacrifices as well

nowadays though... we don't do much of that anymore but some sort of symbolism is still observed, some people will give thinks and express appreciation for prosperity and abundance as well

[ElenaLena]

That is very interesting…

[NathanDavis]

see? time to pick all that corn... lol

[ElenaLena]

Wow.. that’s so cool.. and that’s what I like about Hispanic and Latin American cultures.. vibrant use of colors 😊

[NathanDavis]

My father used to point at the full moon and say that, somewhere in the world, a child was just born who will grow into a great leader.

That is one of his many philosophical sayings.

He also said that someone has to die to make room for a child to be born. Exactly one-year after my father died, my first son was born. It is sad that myfather never saw his grandchild... or is it?

[ElenaLena]

Wow.. that’s scary

[AviatorTom]

@ElenaLena He died April 15, son was born April 17, one-year later

Yeah there's a couple but mostly Magic it's what you believe in

But for me it's telling me I need to get my butt in gear because winter is coming

I need to get out my winter gear I need to be prepared everything around my house on the outside cleaned up and then 7 months of winter maybe eight yeah I know I'm sad LOL

[ElenaLena]

I don’t like winter 😄

[ohsheeT]

I dont mind it but it takes getting through the first snowfall really before I get into it and then it's doesn't even matter anymore it's just an everyday thing but I hate the initial cold but the first week

This song is from 1908. Here is a 1931 version by a woman although the song is from the perspective of a man. I have heard a 1940 version that was popular but I had no idea the song went back this far.

Nah, the only Harvest Moon I know is the Neil Young tune.

People in my town tend to lose things more often during this moon. So I go key hunting

[ElenaLena]

How many keys did you find 😄

[rgb008]

Currently 2. But I’m getting my metal detector out for midnight

[ElenaLena]

Good luck 😄
