Pisces Full Harvest Moon

 
 

The Pisces Harvest Full Moon is exact on Monday, September 20th at 4:55 pm PDT.

We are living at a time on Earth where there is an acceleration of simultaneous Polarization, Awakening, Grace, Upheaval and Conflict in both our inner and outer worlds. And. All this is here to serve the Great Design of why you/we are here, Now.

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 it's 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.

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.

Drink lots of water. Get into water if possible. Be present with your breath and the rhythm of your sleep patterns. Take care to be in stillness in the mornings to recall your dreams, deep insight is there for you. Breathe deeply and check in with your inner voice when 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

Aquarius Full Blue Moon

Blue Moon Blessings! The Full Moon is exact in Aquarius at 5:02 am PDT on August 22nd.

Additionally, the Sun moves into Virgo just hours later at 2:35 pm PDT at 0 degrees and the Sun is Conjunct the Royal Fixed Star of Regulus.

This is the second Aquarius Full Moon in a row, making this an astrological Blue Moon. The first Full Moon in Aquarius was in July at 0 degrees, the Alpha point of initiation, and now this Aquarius Full Moon at 29 degrees, the Omega point of completion (as there are 30 degrees in each zodiac sign).

There is something releasing or completing for you in regards to either your perspective of what Evolution looks like or the releasing of limiting ideas and thoughts that have been stifling your Evolution and Growth.

This 2nd Full Moon in Aquarius amplifies the awakening of our collective needs as a humanity. As Aquarius is only fixed Air sign in the zodiac, devoted to authenticity and stability, this Full Moon illuminates creative solutions and inspired action towards humanitarian endeavors through sacred service, leadership, projects and offerings. The Aquarian Moon offers the Blessings for you to speak your truth and to let go of distortions or archaic imprinting and destructive habits that limit you from manifesting and living your greatest visions and purpose.

As sound travels upon air waves, the Aquarius Air Moon energy can be utilized in your life and leadership to release and manifest through sacred intention, sound and communication. This can further bring forth new relationships and ideas with networking, group movements and collaborations.

The Aquarian Moon energy is intelligent, innovative, revolutionary, open-minded and starry-eyed, and offers the exploration of new ideas and revolutionary thinking to create worlds and paradigms of new possibilities.

The 22nd is deeply connected to the Magdalenes and specifically Mary Magdalene that, amplifies the alchemical lunar energy of simultaneous release and rebirth as the Sun moves into Virgo.

On this Blue Moon, the Sun in Virgo is conjunct the Royal Fixed Star Regulus, the bright star in the Heart of the Lion, Leo. This is the same astrological coding of Mother Mary’s Ascension Assumption day (as I shared about in my last Instagram post) that inspires us to Know Thyself through the power of the heart, the power of Love.

Regulus is associated with the transformational healing energy of Archangel Raphael, who supports both the Gaia and Her children, as we experience this time of the Great Change. As the old is dying, the New Earth is being slowly birthed. Regulus will be transmitting loving and courageous energy, from the Heart of the Lion to All on Earth.

In essence, your sacred values are being illuminated so that you can implement needed changes for the empowerment of your personal destiny and our collective legacy.

Please utilize the energy of this potent celestial energy to offer and direct your prayers and rituals for the benefit of All Sentient Beings.

May we attune to the power of unconditional love within our hearts, feel one another in the sanctuary of the One Heart, and beam our loving intentions to the Hearts of All Beings Everywhere. Blessed Be.

Lunar Lughnasadh Aquarius Full Moon

 

The Full Moon is exact in Aquarius at 7:37 pm PDT on July 23rd.

This Full Moon is Lunar Lughasadh (pronounced Loog-NAS-ah) in the northern hemisphere. This High Holy Day on the Wheel of the Year, honoured in our Rose and Moon Priestess Lineage, is halfway between Summer Solstice and Autumnal Equinox and is a sacred Harvest Festival of Gratitude and Abundance (in the Gregorian calendar it is honoured on August 2nd and Solar Lughnasadh will be on August 6th when the Sun is at 15 degrees Leo). It is at this time that the codes of the Great Mother-Father, Lioness, King-Queen, Activist and Water Bearer are wishing to reveal themselves through you.

With the Sun in Leo (attributed to the “me”) and the Moon in Aquarius (attributed to the “we”), this is a powerful time to align your personal will with Divine Will. To offer your gifts, services and talents to the legacy that we are all here to create together. May we celebrate this auspicious moment in the glory of the full moon’s light!

This Full Moon is dedicated to those who have illuminated us in some way, who have taught us and guided us, and who have shown us more of who we truly are and why we are here. 

At this time of fruition, integration and reflection, take time to honour the seeds you've planted and celebrate this time of the first Harvest and our collective creative powers. This Full Moon is also known as the Blessing Moon or King's Moon.

Capricorn Strawberry Honey Moon

The Capricorn Full Moon was exact on June 24 at 11:40am PDT.

This marks the end of Solstice Portal and first half of the year. It is thus a time of great release… as from here we enter the waning half of the year (northern hemisphere). It is potent Full Moon to release outdated beliefs, patterns and structures held within your DNA, blood and bones as Venus resides at the Root Chakra.

This powerful Full Moon glow also amplifies your capacity to experience joy, pleasure and love in your body as sacred medicine. You are being invited now to do what makes you feel good without shame or guilt. The moon's energy supports you to shed self-imposed limitations and unleash your inner wild self! It's time to celebrate! The earthy power of Capricorn magnetizes your creative passion and welcomes you to delight in the pleasures of all your senses!

This Capricorn Moon portal reflects to us the need to make important choices in our lives in order to bring deep dreams and desires forward (for the benefit of our own lives, and for the planet). If you have been on the fence about something, this moon can bring clarity. Your body holds the wisdom and guidance for all your answers. Listen within and move in the direction that feels good in your heart, wombspace and intuition. Remember, the universe always rewards you for trusting your gut!

SOLSTICE BLESSINGS

Photo of Achintya Devi by Sophia Billikopft

Photo of Achintya Devi by Sophia Billikopft

Blessed Solstice! The Sun moves into Cancer at 8:32 pm PDT on June 20th to open this powerful Solar Gate.

We are also honouring Juneteenth, a national holiday in the US, commemorating the end of slavery! Blessed Emanicipation Day!!

Solstice comes from the Latin term solstitium, “meaning sun stands still”, as it appears to do just that for a few days. In the northern hemisphere, we celebrate Summer Solstice with the longest hours of daylight and the sun at its highest point, while those of us in the southern hemisphere celebrate Winter Solstice with the longest hours of darkness and the sun at its lowest point. United, we hold the both the light and the dark and the full spectrum in between. 

The Solstice portal is open 3 days before and after this Holy Sabbat of purification, exaltation and celebration.

Honour the potent Solstice energy with joy as we embrace the Wild Sacred Light of the Sun itself, the Light within all Beings and the Love that shines within us, that is who we truly are. This is also a time for you to celebrate for all that is ripe in your life, whether this is related to an attitude of gratitude, completing a job well done or for embodying empowering qualities.

In this 26,000 cycle turning of the Ages, the Solstice Cancer Sun has been rising at the intersection of where the Ecliptic (plane of the solar system) crosses the Milky Way (plane of the galaxy) in the middle of what is called the Sacred Hoop of Stars (Rigel, Capella, the Pleiades, Sirius, Pollux, Castor,and Procyon) since 1962 and will continue to until 2030. This is also known as the Silver or Cancer Gate where souls pass through to incarnate, signifying a great shift in our human consciousness.

Just hours before the exact time of Solstice (Sun entering Cancer) Jupiter stations retrograde for four months in a trine with the sun and the moon that brings forth great abundance and good fortune.

During this Solstice portal, welcome the Sun’s rays to penetrate your every cell, for indeed you are being asked to hold the Mantle of Truth, Wisdom and Love as a multi-dimensional being. One is who is made of Star Dust and Sun Light.

At this time of Illumination, may you remember that your inner fires are here to support you in moving through any fears that keep you from your truth. You are being ushered into the next activation of your incarnation as both spirit and matter, which is the power and Blessing of Light itself. Orientate yourself towards the Sun to make clear and honest choices about your greatest dreams, to shed limited beliefs and unworthiness, and bask in the magnificence of these powerful Light Codes.

Blessed Be for all that is being illuminated and amplified at this Holy time of Embodied Awakening!

NEW PLAYLIST

Welcome in the Power of the Light and enjoy my new
Spotify Playlist throughout the Solstice Portal!

Do you live in the Southern Hemisphere and are celebrating Winter Solstice?

I offer you this REKINDLE Winter Solstice Ritual that was recorded live on location along the Nile River in Egypt.

 

Summer Solstice Ritual Suggestions

  • Rise to Greet the Sun: Greet the Sun for Sunrise on the longest day of the year as an act of exalted devotion to the Full Light of your Awareness. If in the southern hemisphere, greet the Sunset to honour the shortest day or Light and Rebirth of another cycle.

  • Gratitude Speak: Speak aloud or write in your journal 20 things you are grateful for. If writing, place in the sunlight for amplification. This practice brings to light more experiences for you to be great-full for.

  • Honey Medicine: Eat a spoonful of golden honey in the sunlight, taste the sweetness of all of your life's blessings and recent accomplishments while feeling into trust, that all be provided for, for your life's dreams.

  • Elemental Fire Divination: Sunbathe, create a bonfire or light candles in you home to activate the wild and sacred medicine of Fire / the Sun and let the warmth of the rays and flames seep into your cells. Let the mind go and gaze into light to receive guidance and messaged available only at this time.

  • Solar Water: Place water in the Solstice Sun and let the solar codes infuse it for 20 minutes to 2 hours. Then drink in with celebration and honour. You may wish to keep in the fridge for a few days to come to keep ingesting this powerful solar elixir of nourishment.

  • 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.

Blessed Be! Love, Achintya
