Harvest Moon October 5 2017

Harvest Moon by Samuel Palmer

The Harvest Moon is our ultimate guide in the darkness.  During this time, we can use its power to get perspective on issues we struggle with.

The Harvest Moon shines with extra light tonight.  At 2:40 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time we can experience the Harvest Moon bath.

The Harvest Moon can occur earlier in the fall, but this year October claims the Harvest Moon as its own.  The name comes from the extra illumination it provides to farmers to harvest their crops.  We can use this light, too.

Take a moon bath tonight, use its power for your dreamwork, allow its amber energy to sink in.  Our receptivity is strongest in the presence of the full moon.  Gaze at the moon and see if you can get a sense of being steered or pulled by intentions you may not realize are there.  The moon's power is to show us what lies dormant in our unconscious.  We may become more aware of how our perceptions cloud our vision - we may be able to see the illusions that manifest in bad choices.

Use tonight to create ritual for yourself.  Make a ceremony to acknowledge illumination.  Make it sacred.  I'm going to gather up everything that could use a cleansing moon bath, put on Neil Young's Harvest Moon album, and moon gaze. xoxo
