Clear Eyes, Full Moon, Can’t Lose
We’re all aglow as we get ready for fall.
There’s a lot going on at the moment, celestially speaking.
We’ve got Virgo season, there are four retrogrades all happening simultaneously and, perhaps most importantly, September marks a change of seasons as the Harvest Moon arrives.
Traditionally, the harvest moon is one of the most familiar moons and refers to the nearest full moon to the autumnal equinox. The light of the Harvest Moon enabled farmers to work late into the night, helping them to bring in the crops from the fields.
According to Pop Sugar, “The spiritual meaning of the harvest moon is often connected to themes of abundance, appreciation, and the completion of a cycle. Rising as a vibrant super full moon (which means the moon appears bigger and brighter) and a cleansing lunar eclipse, the harvest moon is here to crank up your spiritual wellness just in time for the arrival of fall.”
The harvest moon has cultural significance in Eastern cultures, too, where the Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important holidays. The festival is celebrated by baking and eating mooncakes and lighting lanterns - which symbolize beacons that light people's path to prosperity and good fortune.
If you need some help getting in the celestial spirit, here are a few ways to capture that moonlit glow:
