The Pisces Harvest Full Moon is exact on Saturday, September 10th at 2:59 am PDT.
The Harvest Moon in Pisces is here to amplify your Greatest Gratitude and light up your Dreamer Within to reflect, celebrate and complete. With the bounty of the Harvest, also comes the grief of its epic completion.
With this Full Moon in Pisces in final sign of the zodiac, along with the medicine of the Harvest Moon, we are able to reap the joys, lessons, insight, and experiences from all the previous signs (and the past 6 months since the last Equinox) and receive lunar codes of inspiration for your sacred service in the world.
Looking at the symbol for Pisces, with one fish swimming downstream and another swimming upstream, we can see this as an invitation to enter into the power of experiencing life beyond duality by incorporating both the inner and the outer realms, the light and the dark, the highs and the lows, the ups and the down, your inner king and queen / masculine and feminine, and synthesize these creative powers of polarity.
With the Sun in Virgo (Virgin / High Priestess / Queen), and the Moon in Pisces, this is a Seeress / Priestess Moon to activate and ground your visions and dreams. For one and for All. This is a powerful opportunity for us to consciously beam our unified prayers to Bless each other and All Sentient Beings in this specific timeline in the era of the Great Shift. It is also a potent time to release unrealistic expectations of self and others, let go of dreams that may not have been yours to begin with, cut cords to toxic relationships, clear distortions, give death to self-limiting beliefs, and dismantle colonial / patriarchal mindsets and patterns.
Beloved One, you are a child of the infinite Goddess. Your very presence on Earth here and now holds great keys for our collective awakening and the reclamation of your Self. At this mystical full moon time, you are able to harness the power of your shadow, your light, and the rainbow spectrum in between to amplify your intuitive knowing and inner guidance for taking authentic action on your path.
At this Full Moon, your presence here now invites the awakening of and reclamation of all of you. Your shadow, light and, the rainbow spectrum in between them both. With the Moon in Pisces and Sun in Virgo, you are being blessed to receive this lunar medicine to empower and nourish your soul / priestess path and the sacred dreams you hold for yourself and the world.
As your nervous system may be heightened, please give great care to your sacred body temple. Drink lots of water. Get into water and Be in Nature if possible. Be present with your breath and the rhythm of your sleep patterns. Rest and exercise. Meditate. Be in the morning stillness to recall your dreams, as there deep insight is there for you. Breathe deeply and check in with your inner voice when if you are needing to make major choices. Accept. Surrender. Release. Celebrate.

HARVEST MOON RITUAL SUGGESTIONS
Gratitude Harvest Altar & Release: Gather fruits and vegetables. Flowers and grains. Create an altar of abundance, representing all you are in gratitude of. List all the things you are grateful for in your life from this year so far and place this in the moonlight (outside or window) to attract more experiences to be grateful for. Write down all the things you are ready to release, change or shift and either bury them, burn them or offer them to a body of water.
Dream Speak: Pay close attention to your dreams tonight and through the weekend. Record them in a journal and speak them out loud. Only by writing them down or speaking them will the sometimes subtle (or not so subtle) meaning and message be revealed to you.
Make Space: Time to go through your cupboards, closet, garage etc... and let go of the excess. Spaciousness feels so good and you open yourself up to more internal power and creative life-force.
Be Still: With so much frequency shift happening now, simply closing your eyes to pay attention to your breath to pause for 5 minutes will do wonders for your nervous system (especially if you can do this 3 times a day, and longer than 5 if possible. Do what you can). Make sure to get a long and full sleep.
Tea Medicine: Drinking Tulsi & Gotu Kola herbal tea will soothe your nerves and calm your spirit. This also allows you to open up to magical and bountiful blessings being offered.
Earthing Creativity: Illuminate your dreams and get into your body! Create a vision board or a painting or dance or write in your journal all that you are bringing with you into the next season ahead. Place this out into the moonlight/speak it/sing out loud.
Moon Bathe: Get into the magic of the moonlight and absorb her luminous, activating, soul-stirring and healing balm. Look to the moon and speak the visions and dreams that you see for yourself and for the planet.
Remember: Put out your gem stones and jewels in a window or in water for cleansing, renewal, and activation. Place an apple and glass of water in the moonlight and have it for a 'Moon Wisdom' breakfast the next morning.
Commune: Gather in an intentional way with loved ones and do any of the above together and create your own. Now can be a powerful time to be with the energy of the collective. (See invitation below).
Full Moon rituals can be done the day before, day of ,and day after the actual full moon. This is the 3 day potency period. Blessings to you in this wondrous and magical time.
With Full Moon Love, Achintya
AUTUMN EQUINOX CEREMONY
Join us for our Mabon Sabbat Ceremony to celebrate the turning of the Wheel of the Year!
MABON SABBAT CEREMONY
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22ND
3pm PDT (2 - 2.5 hours)
The High Holy Day of Mabon, or Autumn Equinox, occurs when the Sun reaches the half-way point of its journey through the zodiac in the sign of Libra. On the Wheel of the Year, this marks the turning towards shorter days, less light, longer nights and more darkness.
Here, at this sacred meeting of equal day and night in both hemispheres, we enter a portal of uniting the solar mysteries and lunar mysteries to embody balance and harmony. Through the alchemical marriage of polarities, we can open to possibilities beyond the binary and experience the energy of the Trinity coding that is a part of our New Earth Template.
At Autumn Equinox, the Goddess is radiant, abundant and glorious as the Harvest Queen and the God finally dies offering His pure gifts of love and devotion, along with the generous cutting of the last grain.
Join us as we gather for the Second Harvest, the Fruit Harvest and true Thanksgiving Celebration.
