In this case, the first full moon in October took place on the 1st, and, as this month has 31 days and the lunar cycle is 29.5, this weekend an additional full moon will creep in. The last time this cosmic phenomenon occurred was in 2018, and it is estimated that until 2023 it will not happen again.
