Full Harvest Moon

Dear beautiful souls,

As we drift into the heart of spooky season—with its pumpkin spice potions, cozy nights, and the soft crunch of autumn leaves beneath our feet—Grandmother Moon will reach her fullest glow at 11:47 p.m. EST / 8:47 p.m. PST on October 6th.

Full Moons often bring a sense of culmination, but this one carries an even deeper kind of magick… it is the Harvest Moon.

In pagan and Wiccan traditions, the Harvest Moon is a sacred symbol of prosperity, completion, and the endless cycles of life. As the harvest is gathered, reflection naturally follows. This moon gently calls to our root, sacral, and solar plexus chakras, awakening something primal within us. There is a growing urge to ground ourselves, to turn inward, to nest as the air grows crisp and the winds shift. We reach for warmth, sweetness, and nourishment, preparing for the deep knowing of the dark season ahead as the light slowly wanes.

This Full Moon rises in fiery Aries, stirring passions and igniting our inner flame. Aries energy invites us to trust our instincts, stand in our truth, and boldly embrace our personal power. Emotions may run high, and unexpected shifts could appear—whether in love, relationships, or finances—but fear not: with the Sun in Libra, a wave of harmony flows in to soothe and balance what feels tense or unsettled.

As we step into this October moonlight, we also cross the threshold into the realm of the Crone—the wise one, keeper of deep magick. The word “crone” is rooted in “crown,” reminding us of the light and wisdom that radiate from within. With the veil between worlds thinning, this is a sacred moment for soul alchemy and quiet transformation. Even through the twists and challenges of the year, there remains a spark of hope—a chance for wishes cast under this moon to take root and bloom.

On this sacred night, we are invited to release, dream, and trust the mystery. May the Moon Goddess illuminate our path, burn away shadows, and guide us toward a radiant future. It’s time to light the fire beneath our cauldrons… and set the night sky ablaze. ✨🌙
