The Pisces Harvest Full Moon is exact on Tuesday, September 17th at 7:34pm PDT.
This Harvest Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces is simultaneously offering the gift to amplify gratitude and light up your Dreamer within, and also experience any of the more challenging feelings that accompany any harvest completion.
With the Full Moon in Pisces (the 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 the eclipse that will initiate a new theme of your life that will bring us all the way until 2027. This is because this eclipse is connected to the North Node of Destiny, which is about new beginnings, new ideas, and the direction of your spiritual growth and evolution.
This eclipse activates a heightened sense of intuition, opening doorways to your subconscious and the liminal realms that bring forward deeper layers of your truth and wisdom.
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 with a powerful opportunity to consciously beam our unified prayers to Bless each other and All Sentient Beings.
It is also a potent time to release unrealistic expectations of self and others, let go of outdated dreams, cut cords to toxic relationships, clear distortions, give death to self-limiting beliefs.
At this mystical full moon time, you are able to feel the power of your shadow, your light, and the rainbow spectrum in between to amplify your intuitive knowing and inner guidance on your path. Receive this lunar medicine to empower and nourish 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. Such as… Drinking lots of water, being in water and in Nature if possible. Being present with your breath, resting, meditating and gentle exercising. Be in the morning stillness to recall your dreams, as there may be deep insight for you.

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. Write down all the things you are ready to release, change or shift and either bury them or burn them.
Dream Speak: Pay close attention to your dreams tonight and through the solar eclipse until Oct 2. 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: From now until the solar eclipse, this is a great 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.
Important: As this is an eclipse - DO NOT place your gem stones and jewels to charge in the moon. Wait until the Full Moon of October.
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
