Ok,It falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. It is said that there is a beautiful goddess on the moon who had eaten some sort of elixir and had to depart her husband. She is always expecting to see her husband again. So, later we have the traditional idea that when there is the full moon, it is time for the family members to come together.
好的，中秋节事农历的八月十五。据说有一位美丽的仙女名叫嫦娥，因为偷吃了长生不老药而不得不与她的丈夫分离，到了月球。她一直都在盼望能与丈夫重聚。所以后来我们就有了传统的概念：当满月出现时，就是该和家人团聚的时候了

lunar

adj 月的，月球的，阴历的；(光)苍白的，微弱的；银的 含银的

So,I understand why people eat moon cakes on that day.
我明白了，这就是人们在那天吃月饼的原因。

elixir

n **长生不老药，炼金药

It is time for......，是.....的时候

You are right,In China,round is an auspicious word. The moon cakes are in round shape.
你说的对，在中国，圆是个吉利的字，所以月饼是圆形的

auspicious

Is it official？
