This Monday, September 12th, the Full Moon swims into Pisces as the Sun heats up in Virgo. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the full Moon that occurs closest to the autumn equinox (Friday, Sept. 23rd) is called the Full Harvest Moon and marks the peak of harvest when farmers can work late into the night gathering corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and wild rice. So what are YOU ready to gather? What seeds will you take with you through the winter?
The Full Moon in Pisces embodies unconditional love, feelings, expanded consciousness, dreaming, freedom, unity, imagination, and the BIG PICTURE, while the Sun shines through Virgo’s analytical, service-oriented, detailed mind. This gives us the opportunity to expand our thinking in a smart, serviceable way. Instead of being lost in the fantasy or the funk, we can use Virgo’s attention for detail to write down the “Big Ideas” and start to create action steps that are in alignment with what we are ready for in the present tense. Let the full brightness of this moon illuminate your true feelings and intuitive knowing about the current situation.
- Keep track of your dreams this week and next. “It seems like my dreams are saying….”
- You may be questioning EVERYTHING – get to your journal and start answering your questions!
- Lay it Down – make an altar to your attachments, ask for help in the areas you are struggling in
- Take ritual swim – imagine that with each stroke, you are releasing the past and moving into pregnant possibility. (If you can’t find a pool, take a ritual bath. When you drain the water, release!)
TIP + Grounded Dreaming – Combining the gifts of Virgo (grounded & detail oriented) with the Visionary Dreams of Pisces, create a Dream Card on an index card or piece of construction paper. Any size or shape will do. With the intention of creating a guiding image for bringing your big picture to earth, flip through magazines and cut out images that draw your attention. Don’t worry if they don’t fit on the card – make a bigger card. You can also cut out words or phrases. When you are done, sort through the images, letting yourself know which one needs to be on the card. It doesn’t have to make sense right away. Place the guide on your altar and ask for help from the mystery.
Autumal Equinox, Friday, September 23rd
The equinox marks the day of equal balance between sunlight and darkness. It is also the second of three pagan harvest festivals. For our Celtic ancestors, the fall equinox was time to reflect on the past season and celebrate nature’s bounty, accepting that summer is now over. Harvest marks a time of rest after hard work, and a ritual of thanksgiving for the fruits of nature. At Mabon, we leave the abundant expansion of summer behind, and begin to sort through what we are harvesting for the Fall. For More Info
