*Alexa play "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young*

But there's a full moon rising, let's go dancing in the light
We know where the music's playing, let's go out and feel the night
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon

Septembers Harvest Full Moon

In 2023, the Harvest Moon will occur on September 21. The Harvest Full Moon is a time to celebrate the abundance of the harvest season and express gratitude for the blessings in our lives. It is a time to reflect on the fruits of our labor and appreciate the abundance that surrounds us.

This time, the moon will be in Aries, and the sun in Libra. This lunation is extra special because it’s the first one since the north and south nodes moved into Aries and Libra. This Harvest Moon represents a balance between light and dark, day and night, and death and rebirth.

The full moon will guide you on how to set boundaries, find harmony in your relationships, and stop letting others dictate your expectations. The moon represents our emotions—and when it’s full, it serves as a spotlight on our emotional world, revealing hidden truths and feelings.

This Full Moon Teaches Us That Abundance Should Be Shared

Picture a garden, early in spring you did all the work, you put in new soil, planted seeds and watered it weekly. Over the course of months you took time to nurture the garden, pulling the weeds, helping the plants grow etc. Now the time has come, your fruits and veggies are ready but you have more than you could enjoy for yourself. So you decide to share, using all the love and erergy you invested all summer to create a fest for you and your friends to share.

The dinner is magical, everyone gathers and enjoys all the food. Shories are shared, laugher moves throughout the table, memories are being made in this very moment. This is the energy of the Harvest Moon, to take all the work you have done this year and celebrate it. Honor yourself and how much you have grown this year.

Abundance is a cycle of receiving and giving. When you practice abundance, you open yourself up to receive blessings from the universe, and in turn, you can share your abundance with others

Harvest Full Moon Bath Ritual

One way to harness the energy of the Harvest Moon is through a moon bath ritual. Moon baths are a great way to work with the lunar cycles and receive the wisdom that can transpire when we embody the lunar energy

. Here's how to take a ritual moon bath and manifest your wildest dreams:

Set your intention: Before you begin your moon bath, set your intention for what you want to manifest. Write it down on a piece of paper and keep it nearby during your bath.
Prepare your bath: Fill your bathtub with warm water and add a handful of Epsom salt, which can help to detoxify the body and relax the muscles. You can also add essential oils or herbs that correspond with your intention.
Create a sacred space: Light candles or incense, play calming music, and create a peaceful environment in your bathroom.
Immerse yourself in the water: As you soak in the water, visualize your intention coming to fruition. Feel the energy of the moon and the water surrounding you.
Meditate: Close your eyes and focus on your breath. Allow any thoughts or emotions to come up and release them as you exhale.
Release and gratitude: When you're ready to get out of the bath, take a moment to thank the moon and the water for their healing energy. Release any negative thoughts or emotions that no longer serve you.
Take action: After your moon bath, take action towards your intention. Write down any inspired ideas or actions that come to mind.

Remember that the Harvest Moon is a time of abundance and harvest, so focus on gratitude and abundance as you manifest your desires. By taking a moon bath and harnessing the energy of the Harvest Moon, you can bring forth your wildest dreams and achieve your goals before the end of the year.
