The Harvest Full Moon of 2021
Full Moon in Pisces
The Harvest Full Moon of 2021 is here to give us a unique, not-to-be-missed opportunity to release burdens and offer forgiveness to ourselves and others.
Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet of dissolving boundaries, higher love & compassion. This Full Moon is happening in close proximity to its ruler, which makes these energies even more potent and amplified.
The Harvest Full Moon explained:
All Full Moons have special names, which usually relate to the time of the year they occur in the Sky. The Harvest Moon is the nickname given to the Full Moon, which appears closest to the Autumn equinox in the Northern Hampshire.
Autumn Equinox signifies the point in the year when the Sun enters cardinal sign of Libra and is exactly above the Equator and day and night are of equal length. This special time of the year signifies the start of reduction of the daylight in the Northern Hampshire. It is a major turning point which signifies the change of season.
In older days the Harvest Full Moon was shining the light to help farmers gather the harvest after the Sunset.
It is worth noting that most Harvest Full Moons occur in September, however, sometimes this special name is given to a Full Moon occurring in October, depending on how the lunar cycle lines up with the Gregorian calendar.
The Harvest Full Moon Ritual
It is a well-known fact that Moon’s gravitational pull causes predictable rises and falls in sea levels. Since the human body is made of nearly 70% of water, it is obvious that Moon cycles have a significant effect on us whether or not we are consciously aware of it.
Engaging in Moon rituals brings us closer to the nature and helps us to align with the rhythms of the Universe.
The Cosmic Takeaway
Dreamy, ethereal, mutable Pisces is all about going with the flow & following the path of least resistance. The most important words right now are ‘Let Go’…
Letting go can be really hard at times, but right now, with the gentle support of this beautiful Full Moon it can be done in the most organic, flowy way possible. Just let go… release and trust the Universe and its wisdom.
Light some candles, sage, meditate, take a salt bath & don’t forget to pay close attention to your dreams. Pisces rules sleep and the subconscious. A lot can be revealed in our dream states at this time.
But don’t over indulge in escapism: Pisces energy can get rather murky and delusional. Stay away from alcohol and any mood-altering substances if possible. Emotions can run really high right now and getting grounded can be a real issue.
Pisces rule over music. Listening to your favourite tunes, meditation, deep sleep music & practicing sound baths can be super beneficial at this time.
Just make sure to be gentle and loving with yourself. This Neptunian moon is all about unconditional love and empathy.
Very often we give so much love and support to those around us, but forget to fill our own cup and run on empty. Now is the perfect time to rectify that.
Enjoy this Full Moon. Let go of everything that no longer serves you and get ready for the season of change, starting with Autumn Equinox, which is just round the corner!
