The Harvest Moon is the closest full moon to the Autumnal Equinox and also the largest full moon of the year.
The Harvest Moon is named after farmers who used the light of the September crescent moon in the eastern skies to finish what remained to be done.
The Super Harvest Moon will occur at the same time as a lunar eclipse
We are all coming to the end of the summer season, which brings with it a faster pace of work and fun. As the season shifts to fall, it is time to take stock of our accomplishments, celebrate with family and friends and reap the fruits of our labor.
The Harvest Supermoon is a sight to behold. If the weather allows you to see the moon, we recommend preparing a cozy outdoor space where you can watch the moon rise.
Whether alone, with your family or partner, you can find a place where you can put a couple of blankets and have a picnic, prepare your favorite dishes, put on good music and get ready for the show.
The Harvest Moon as an opportunity for personal change
With the change of seasons, it is a good time to evaluate what is and isn’t working for you in your life, as well as to ask yourself:
- What lessons have I learned this summer?
- What do I need?
- What gives me joy?
- What do I need to let go of?
Remember that in order for plants to flourish, they must first be cleaned out, so this is a great opportunity to do a general cleaning. A good place to start is the kitchen, you can clear out the cupboard and get rid of anything that is out of date.
Go through your closets and donate unwanted clothes to charity stores like Goodwill or Salvation Army.
Also, remember to celebrate and be grateful for abundance, a lot or little, attract it with thoughts that nourish the spirit, as well as decree new intentions, whether new practices, hobbies, or even finish things that were already started and there was no time to finish them.
What is a Supermoon?
A Supermoon is when our natural satellite is closest to Earth, also called perigee, so it will be more visible and brighter than we normally can see it.
