Each year when September came around I heard alot of talk about "the fall blues". Soon I for one, will be missing summer, the glorious thunderstorms, the flowers, home grown veggies, long days, sitting on the front porch enjoying a tall, cold drink. Especially not wearing shoes, or heavy winter wear. Certainly when I see the colored leaves, and know that snow will soon follow, I began counting the days until summer might return. Which brings me to something I read this Harvest Moon , a full moon in Pisces will bring sadness. And Indeed this Harvest Moon is in Pisces. Kindness is empasised.
Astrology is not something that has never held my interest, totally neutral on it. However the article went on to say that this will be an emotional time and we should all be kind and caring toward ourselves. Sounds like a good plan to me, further one that we should extend to others.
The Harvest Moon will rise Saturday, Sept. 10th and 5:59 AM. The Weatherman has predicted light rain. To me there something about the Moon peeking out from the cloud cover, glowing thru a veil of clouds that just says Fall is upon us. The Harvest moon is the name given to the full Moon closest to the Autumnal Equinox, Sept 22nd, this year.
The Harvest moon was so named because it afforded the farmers, and others more light by which to harvest the crops they depend on during the winter. Certainly the Harvest Moon could be seen as a time of transition, new beginnings, a time to discard that which is no longer useful, banishing old habits, learn new skills. A time to prepare for the next season, the very earth is going into into dormancy, the silent chill of winter, long dreamfilled sleeps. The promise of change, in the changing colors of leaves
What Is the Spiritual Meaning of the Harvest Moon?Astrologer Anya of Ask the Answer says September's harvest moon will have the signs feeling a little uneasy, but it does offer an opportunity for a fresh start. "This particular moon's closeness to the autumnal equinox means that it is symbolic of new beginnings and a door to spiritual awareness," Anya tells POPSUGAR. "On the other hand, with the Piscine energy of this full moon, you may experience a bit of a feeling of insecurity and a feeling like you're being too perceptive." In order to prepare yourself for these particular feelings that come from a Pisces sign, it's best to try to relax. "During the harvest moon, it's best to slow down, wait, and see what happens in your life," Anya says. "Enjoy the beautiful September sunsets, look back at your achievements, and take a deep breath . . . the tricky bit is nearly over!" |
