Aries Harvest Full Moon 2025

This altar was offered with Love in Avalon by Achintya & Sunshine.

The Aries Harvest Full Moon is exact Monday, October 6 at 8:47 pm PDT / 11:47 pm EDT.

We are living at a time on Earth where there is an acceleration of simultaneous Beauty, 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.

With the Moon in Aries and the Sun in Libra, now is an auspicious opportunity release excess baggage on all levels and initiate the shifts needed to live your dreams and desires. With gratitude for all the lessons and gifts from the past season, it is now time to ignite the inner flames of your wild heart’s passion, strength, determination, commitment, ambition and your soul’s beauty.

Now is the window to break any chains of illusion, burn away disempowering beliefs, spark the remembrance of your truth and rise into new dimensions of trust, creativity, expression, harmonious relations, sovereignty, empowerment and love.

With this Harvest Moon in Aries, the opportunity is here to deepen into your Greatest Gratitude and light up your Warrioress Within. This is a Moon to both reflect and to amplify. To commune and celebrate. To share honour and reverence. To spark inspiration or (r)evolutionize your life. You may be called to sing, dance or be still. You may be ready to start something new or give death to something in your life. It may also be the time for you to release anger, rage, frustration or fear in healthy ways, to avoid continued internal tension and external aggression. Use the power of Fire wisely and it will support you fiercely.

The Aries Moon Medicine is also igniting you to take external action as the (R)Evolutionary and Warrioress by contributing your voice, energy, money (any form of action) to participate in the change you wish to see and Be in the world.

Your presence to embody both your inner Sacred Feminine and inner Sacred Masculine stimulates needed Awakening, Remembrance and Reclamation for us all!

• What do you wish to ignite or re-ignite in your life?

• What gifts are you reclaiming?

• What is ready to be released?

• What is being catalyzed within you?

• How are you called to Revolutionize?

Whatever inspires you, move in that direction. Blessed Be.

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).

SUMMER SOLSTICE BLESSINGS 2025

Blessed Solstice as the Sun enters Cancer at 7:42pm PST on June 20 / 2:42 am June 21.

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 our lifetime, 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). This is also known as the Silver or Cancer Gate where souls pass through to incarnate, signifying a great shift in our human consciousness.

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.

As the Sun passes through the Sacred Hoop, listen with your heart and you may hear the voices of the stars whispering:

Remember who you are.
Remember where you came from.
Remember why you came.

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

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 grateful 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.

Full Moon in Sagittarius: Shooting for the Stars

Art by Danielle Noel

We honor the Sagittarius Full Moon, exact at 9:44pm HST on June 10, and 12:44 am PT on June 11, 2025, vibrating with potent energy for your personal dreams and our collectively destiny. 

Feel into your deep soul dreams and ideals (the target), by activating your devotional embodiment practices (the arrow), held with the wisdom and truth in your heart (the bow). 

There is an invitation to explore important pathways, choices and possibilities to support your life’s direction through the guidance of your intuition.

Be Open to Receive.  

This is also a time of celebrating all that is blossoming and bearing fruit in your life, of honoring completions and embodying uplifting soul qualities, symbolized by the Rose / Strawberry / Honey Moon.

Let this be a sacred moment to honor yourself in some meaningful way. Nourish your joy. Amplify delight. Celebrate the gift of life.

Your Destiny is written in the stars, and as the author of your life, you are writing it now. Trust the Great Mystery. Trust yourself.

This is the first Full Moon with Jupiter newly in Cancer, initiating a year-long cycle of emotional expansion, ancestral remembrance, and soul-deep nourishment. Jupiter, the planet of blessings, wisdom, and growth, is exalted in Cancer... meaning its gifts pour forth with greater ease and grace.

As this Sagittarius Moon illuminates your highest visions and sacred aspirations, Jupiter offers fertile ground in which those dreams may take root, nourished by emotional wisdom, familial devotion, and the sanctuary of your inner homecoming.

With this powerful alignment, open your heart and offer your most sincere prayers for yourself, for the Earth, and for all sentient Beings.

Ritual Suggestions

• Strawberry Honey Medicine: Eat strawberries or a spoonful of honey in the moonlight, 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.

• Dream Illumination & Sacred Release Journal: What dreams is your soul illuminating for you at this time? What sacred desires are being called into the light? What visions do you have for yourself? How can you clarify and define your dreams? Why are they meaningful and full of purpose? What is between you and your dreams? What is stopping you from living them (focusing on your own patterns, thought forms, behaviors, beliefs)? Burn this paper now for sacred release in a fire or with candles outside in the full moon light. Then…
  Dance / speak/ move/ sound it out. After this and you feel more space within you, write down and speak aloud to the moon how you now choose to commit and devote yourself to your dreams. How you can take action, receive support and rest into the divine timing of these dreams.

• Devotional Heart: How does your heart want to be expressed/nurtured at this time? What embodiment practices inspire you right now? Activities that bring you out of your mind and into your body are where it's at when done with the intention of celebrating and honouring yourself and your growing dreams. Trying doing them in the moonlight.

• Elemental Nourishment: Sagittarius Moon is an ideal time for you to get in the Natural World and the Elements. Visit your favorite tree, park, river, ocean or lake etc... Let the wild and sacred medicine of nature seep into your body and your breath. Let the mind go and rest into Earth and practice the art of spaciousness by simply Being. 

• 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.

• 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.

With Love,

Lunar Beltane ~ Scorpio Full Moon

Art by Danielle Noel ~ Stay tuned for a special announcement later this month from us about our co-creations.

Blessed Lunar Beltane with the Scorpio Full Moon exact on May 12 at 9:55 pm PT.

This Full Moon marks the culmination of our 2025 Beltane Season, which began on May 4 with Solar Beltane.

Can you sense an amplification of your body and sixth sense, a feeling of being between the worlds?

A potent turning on the Wheel of the Year is unfolding beneath the light of this Moon. With the Taurus Sun and Scorpio Moon, this is a time to celebrate your fertile dreams and attune to the wisdom of your sacred embodiment.

The Full Moon rises at 22° Scorpio, a potent alignment, as 22 is a master number long associated with Mary Magdalene. Among its many layers, it carries the frequency of sacred service, embodiment of divine wisdom, and the building of spiritual legacy on Earth.

Mary Magdalene, as the Lunar May Queen and Keeper of the Holy Wells and Sacred Springs, calls you home to your body’s innate intelligence ~ to your sensual radiance, creative essence, and untamed self.

What is alive within the unseen layers of your being? Hidden treasures linked to destiny, courage, creative power, and soul-level longing are illuminated. Through shadow and light, both dormant gifts and tender places may surface for recognition, healing, and empowerment.

At Lunar Beltane, the Moon activates the Earth’s living waters, mirroring the deep sensual currents within your Inner Sanctum ~ your emotions, longing, and vital life-force.

This is the cauldron of the sacral well, where Water and Fire entwine ~ holy fluids of creation merging with the alchemy of desire. Within this fertile crucible lies the power of pure potential, where dreams are conceived, blessed, and brought into form.

This Scorpio Full Moon invites you to honour your body as a sanctified sanctuary and to feel the fertile currents of passion rising within.

Welcome your sacred desires to flow through these living waters of creation, to awaken the garden of your soul and birth new life!

Note: The Scorpio Moon may bring the sting, awakening old wounds, shadow patterns, or buried desires. Yet within the sting lies the catalyst for profound transformation.

Gratitude, self-love, and embodied pleasure are sacred medicine, guiding you through deep emotional excavation and the reawakening of your erotic innocence.

Healing and re-patterning can emerge through conscious sensuality, passionate communion (with self or beloved), and devotion to the sacred wisdom of your body.

Let your pleasure become a prayer of reclamation. Let it soften what’s been armored and awaken what longs to bloom in this Lunar Beltane Flower Moon.

Flower Moon Attributes

• Tarot: The Lovers

• Herbs: Elder, Mint, Rose, Mugwort, Thyme

• Colors: Green, Brown, Pink

• Stones: Emerald, Malachite, Amber, Carnelian, Moonstone

• Animals: Cats, Lynx, Leopard, Swan, Dove

• Goddesses: Maia, Venus, Aphrodite, Artemis, Bast, Astarte

• Moon Medicine: Creation, Love, Intuition, Divine Connection, Connection with Nature, Sexuality, Sensuality Beltane

Beltane Ritual Suggestions

• Beltane Fire Ritual: Create a sacred space. Light a candle or fire. Write down any limiting beliefs, fears, or completions ready to be released. Speak them aloud, then offer them to the flame. Let the fire transmute what no longer serves.

  Begin to move (gently or wildly) as the energy shifts. Let your sound rise if it wishes. Allow your body to release and renew.

  Close with gratitude and stillness. Offer thanks to the flame, your body, and the unseen forces that guide your becoming.

• Make Love to Life: Whether this means literally making love in celebration of your creative life-force and pleasure, or metaphorically igniting your passion, this is a time to move with your heart’s desires. Dance. Paint. Sing. Play music. Weave. Craft. Lay upon the Earth. Let your body become a prayer of creation. Let joy move through you.

• Beltane Moon Elixir: Combine mint, rose, tulsi, hibiscus, and cinnamon with a touch of honey to create a simple, heart-opening Lunar Beltane elixir.
  Sip this sacred brew under the light of the Full Moon, offering gratitude for all that is transforming in your life in service to your path. Let each drop be a blessing, a prayer, a celebration of your becoming.

• Charge your gem stones: Leave them out in the full moon light to receive this powerful stellar light!

 
Full Moon rituals can be done the day before, of and after the actual full moon. This is the 3 day potency period. Blessings to you in this wondrous and magical time. Attributes adopted by DJ Conway

April 2025 Libra Pink Full Moon

Moon Collage by Achintya Devi

The Full Moon in Libra is exact on Saturday, April 12th at 5:22 pm PDT.

This Full Moon in April, known as the Pink Moon or Gaia's Moon refer to all of Nature coming to life after winter. This is a time of celebrating all that has been released from last season and all that is now coming into bloom.

Ruled by Venus, the Libra Full Moon amplifies our desire to create Beauty and enjoy heartfelt connections. It is a powerful gateway for creating healing and transformation in how we relate and connect to our selves, each other and life, and how we can choose to create balance and harmony in our inner and outer worlds. In addition, it is helpful to remember to practice Self-love, have compassion for others, and honour your boundaries.

The Full Moon will rise in the same alignment to where the Sun rose at Equinox. This initiates (Sun in Aries) the Venusian Libra Moon to act as a reflector and transmitter to illuminate yet again the Equinox mysteries. Thus, this Full Moon amplifies the energy of the Sacred Marriage / Cosmic Egg activated by the Serpent of Fire (with Libra ruled by Venus, reflected in the Moon and Aries ruled by Mars, reflected in the Sun) for the integrated relationship of the masculine and feminine, seen and unseen, above and below, within and without. We honour these energetics of Divine Union / Life / Death / Rebirth and Resurrection as portrayed through the lives of Inanna & Damuzi, Isis & Osiris, and Mary Magdalene & Yeshua.

This Full Moon is imbued with potent energy for co-creating with Gaia. To Recalibrate, Rebirth and Renew. For Self within and as a Living Prayer for the Whole. This Libra Full Moon also amplifies the energetics of partnership and relationship. Remember to practice Self-love, compassion for other, and honour your boundaries.

GAIA MOON ATTRIBUTES

• Tarot: The Magician

• Herbs: Basil, Chives, Dragon’s blood, Geranium

• Colors: Crimson Red, Fushia & Gold

• Stones: Ruby, Garnet, Rose quartz

• Animals: Bear, Wolf, Hawk

• Goddesses: Hathor, Ceres, Ishtar, Venus, Bast

• Medicine: energy into creating and producing; change; self-reliance; tempering emotional flare-ups; receptivity

PLUS…

Venus moves direct at 8:02 pm PDT, exalted in Pisces.

Venus has spent the past 42 days (since March 1) in a potent transformation of her retrograde phase, where she aligned with the Sun on March 22 and shifted from her Evening Star phase to her Morning Star phase. Pisces holds the energy of cosmic compassion, spiritual union, and soul surrender. When Venus is exalted here, her expression is at her most devotional, transcendent, and heart-centered.

This retrograde mirrored for us deep reflection, the reassessing desires, values, and emotional patterns. Unresolved relationship dynamics, karmic connections, and past creative inspirations may have resurfaced for healing or reevaluation. Now, as The Queen of Heaven and Earth moves forward, there is a greater sense of clarity, renewal, and integration, what has been revealed in the upper world of transformation.

This moment of Morning Star Venus moving direct aligns with ancient myth of Inanna, Sumerian Queen of Heaven when she hears the knock from the Great Below from Queen Ereshkigal.. She knows her descent is near. She feels the summons in her bones.

It is a call to Initiation.

In the myth of Inanna, this descent is not a fall, it is a conscious choice. A sacred vow to meet the shadow, surrender her worldly power, and face the trials of transformation. Likewise, this phase of the Venus cycle prepares us to walk the path of release, purification, and rebirth. A necessary descent to strip away illusions, identities, and masks so that the true essence of love can unfold.

VENUS DIRECT - FULL MOON INQUIRY

Feel into the relationships you have with yourself, your dreams, with Beloveds, with Spirit and the Earth. 

• What are you grateful for?

• What lessons and insights is your heart revealing to you?

• What needs to be amplified and what needs still needs to be composted, shifted, transformed?  

• How can you create beauty within your current creations and relationships?

• What will create balance and harmony in your life? 

 

Collage by Danielle Noel Art

RITUAL SUGGESTIONS

• Authentic Inquiry Journaling: Bring your pen in hand to paper and let your heart answer these potent questions: What truth, power and wisdom have I left behind or hidden away that is now ready to come into the light? What is resurrecting within me that will create balance in my life? What relationship dynamics am I holding on to that may feel safe, but is truly not serving? What do I consciously choose to release and create with love? What am I changing? What am I celebrating? What is the deep unwavering truth of who I am? What do I truly desire? What is shaking loose within me? What does my soul/heart need right now?

• Sacred Meditation: Visualize an emerald and rose gold glow around your body and opening rose petals at your womb space, heart and mind. Extend this glow to encompass all of you. Receive this rejuvenation and then extend it out to your loved ones and the world for Blessings, Beauty and Healing.

• Make Love: To life, to your garden, to yourself, to your creative artistry, to your Beloved, including but not limited to sex, infused with sensitivity, open-heartedness, and passion.

• Remember: Put out your gemstones and jewels outside under the moonlight or in a window (in water if you can) for cleansing, renewal, and activation.

• Commune: Gather is an intentional way with loved ones and do any of the above together and create your own. Now is a time to be with the energy of the collective.

Full Moon Blessings,

Achintya Devi
