Harvest Full Moon
The Harvest Full Moon in Pisces brings great endings. The end of Summer Season. The end of the growth season. The end of the expanding Sun Energy. As Mother Nature is preparing to slow down, we too are asked to settle into the mood of Autumn by counting our blessings during the Harvest full Moon.
The Full Moon closest to September’s Equinox is also known as the Harvest Moon, and it marks the transition of summer coming to a close and fall making its entrance.
Dating back to agricultural traditions and the Old Farmer's Almanac, the Harvest Moon marked the time to get the last harvest work done. As the days are getting shorter this time of the year, the light of the Full Moon around the Autumn Equinox gave the farmers some extra hours of light to finish harvesting.
Full Moons represent the culmination of the lunar cycle and come with an energy of release, closure, and maturation. The second half of the lunar month is a time to slow down, release our efforts, and focus on letting go rather than on building, doing, and achieving.
This Full Moon is also a Super Moon, where the moon will appear full for about three days. Supermoons are close to Earth, magnetizing its gravitational pull and your emotional waters.
On the days around the Harvest Moon, we are given opportunities to witness and reflect upon the results of our work and support in reaping what we have sown and releasing what has come full circle.
GRATITUDE AND GOODBYES
The Full Moon in Pisces is a bittersweet symphony of gratitude and goodbyes. Gratitude for all the memories made during the summer season: The trips, the company, the souvenirs. And gratitude for entering a new season: the harvest season and all the bounty it brings.
This is a season for ripening as well as for goodbyes. Goodbye to long summer nights and the energy of go-go-go. And maybe also goodbye to and old version of you?
The Summer season has brought a lot of change with it. During the last few months, we have been in a quick-pace movement through experiences, that have taught us not to settle in life. And at the same time, we have got a little taste of our near futures through the feeling that is ‘something more’ or ‘something else’ for us to experience in this lifetime.
Maybe it has been in our work lives, where we are refusing to feel enslaved to old versions of what it means to work. Maybe it was in our personal lives, where certain relationships showed us, that we needed to step out or step up.
Or maybe it was simply our precious souls that called us with a strong voices from afar:
“Come back Lovechild, come back to all, you have left behind in your busy, busy life.”
RELEASE TO UPGRADE
The Harvest Full Moon will support you in accessing your personal path to abundance through letting go and practicing gratitude. She will teach you, that not only is gratitude a magnet for miracles, it is also the very path to upgrading yourself to a more abundant You.
However, gratitude doesn’t arrive in a busy life, where we are constantly looking ahead. We have to prepare the soil for gratitude to grow. We have to set time for it to invite it in. Time to slow down, time to just be in the moment, time to reflect.
And the Harvest Full Moon is the perfect occasion to grant yourself a little gratitude time.
Remember that gratitude is not only about appreciating all the good things, you have in your life in the form of material objects, possessions and relationships. It is as much as being grateful for the things, that did not go, as you wished for, but instead gave you a valuable lesson.
We, as human beings, are here to live and learn, and the individual teachings, we bring with us forward in life, are some of the most valuable assets we have.
When we look at the life lesson as the real value, it will be easier to let go of both possessions and relationships, that have played their role in our lives, without regret.
Like the trees, that are getting ready to drop their leaves, you too can look through all that doesn’t serve you anymore in order to release yourself from the old.
This is a powerful time for letting go in order to enter a new cycle by asking yourself the daring question: Who are you in this next season, if you could completely re-invent yourself?

Harvest Full Moon Blessings,
FULL MOON MANTRA
“True abundance flows from gratitude for what already is; not from focusing on what is lacking.”
FEEL THE FEELS
Feel the Feels
During this Full Moon, we are supported in letting go of doubt and trusting our intuition. Our intuitions are strong around this time, and there is a voice inside us, that wants to be heard.
Try to find ways during the days around the full moon to quiet the inner critic of your harsh mind and make room for your feelings and the sensations. Navigating this energy will be very rewarding as the fruit of our labor will be a deeper closeness and connection with our inner-self, our spirit and our truth.
