Welcome to the Full Harvest Moon

The Harvest moon is the moon closest to the Autumn or Fall Equinox in the Northern hemisphere and the Spring Equinox in  Southern climes. The Equinox falls on September 22 at 12,43 UTC

The Harvest Moon appears in Pisces and is also a supermoon that seems especially large and bright  as it moves closest in its orbit to Earth.

In addition, it forms a partial eclipse and so offers a melting pot of lunar energies that act as a catalyst for what you no longer want in your life to be replaced with what you wish to attract.

It rises soon after sunset for several days in the Northern hemisphere, being sufficiently bright in the early evenings to harvest the crops. In many South-East Asian and Far Eastern lands this mid-Autumn festival is celebrated with moon cakes and lanterns sent skywards to give power and ask for wishes on the moon.

Wherever you live, the lovely flowing Pisces Full Moon says there are not once and for all instant fixes, just as there is no certainty for the butterfly who enjoys every moment of the lingering light. As this moon spreads her brilliance over the world, she illuminates the dark corners of indifference and prejudice and sparkles, reviving unconsidered or dismissed opportunities and overlooked blessings.

Absorb in her triple powers, full, eclipse and supermoon, the joy of the moment.

Drink deep of every moment of pleasure, treasure the precious moments and if we are wounded pick ourselves up, asking her to give us the optimism to start again and if necessary, again until our own light shines bright once more.

The Pisces Full Moon is a moon for new love, love after loss or calling back  temporarily estranged love, for music and the performing arts, for truth softened by kindness, for balancing two commitments or having two careers and loving both, for merging two families and for using our hidden telepathic powers when our mobiles are out of range or everyday words fail.

Lady Moon helps us to overcome rivalries of people or demands pulling in different directions. There is enough love for all, for life is a rich stew and the more that is added the more delectable it becomes, not like a cake to be portioned and fighting over crumbs.

This moon reconciles quarrels, assists the amicable resolution of custody or divorce disputes, blesses the homeless, the dispossessed, those who do not have enough to eat even in our most affluent cities and those who live by the ethics of what feels honourable rather than the status quo.

Above all this is the Moon when our psychic powers spontaneously open and we know things without understanding how or why and can find answers to what is hidden or not yet known.

• On Full Moon night, set a purple candle to the left of a heatproof bowl half-filled with water and a green candle to the right. Use real wax candles that drip wax. Do this outdoors if the moon is bright.

• Light the purple candle saying Lead me to the unknown ways, As I in this water gaze, Visions will see that will show, What most I need right now to know.

• Light the second candle from the first and set it to the right of the bowl saying, Let me view wondrous scenes, past worlds where once my life has been, Or future dreams.

• Holding a candle carefully in each hand begin to drip wax from both, slowly on to the water surface.

• As swirls of liquid wax mix on the water surface you will see a picture or symbol that afterwards will become a message as words or images in your mind.

• When the wax sets, tip away the water, drying the solidified wax which may have formed a shape that contains more answers.

• Engrave on the wax what most you need or desire.

• Keep the wax in a small bag till it crumbles and hold it whenever your intuition is telling you differently from what seems true on the surface.
