Celebrating The Full Moon

Hello, so here is my first serious blog post. I’ve decided to talk about the full moon that is coming up on Monday 20th September at 12:00 am here in the UK.

I am still learning about the moon cycles and the astrological effects so this blog will kind of be me talking about what I have learned over the last couple of years.

This harvest moon arrives in the star sign of Pisces. Because of this the moon will be in the element of water and ruled by the planet Neptune/Jupiter. The element water is known for emotion and releasing what doesn’t serve you no longer so you can expect to feel rather emotional this full moon and an awareness of your emotions. You may have increased intuition and creativity which are all very positive and full of potential.

This is a time for cycles to end and new journeys and experiences to begin. Which is also all very positive, we also have a Mercury retrograde coinciding with this full moon that starts at the end of this month and continues until October 18th. This retrograde is all about hard work, patience, self awareness, love and family.

“Emit love, expect miracles”

So what can you do to celebrate this full moon? There are many things you can do such as full moon meditations or yogic practices, you can put your crystals out and cleanse them with moonlight, journaling and setting intentions, spell work, you could light a candle, or you could simply sit outside and watch the moon. There are many ways to celebrate and welcome in this full moon in your way and sometimes it depends on what astrologically is going on that decides how you celebrate and how you want to set your intentions.

I hope this post helps someone out there who may just be starting in there spiritual journey and might be drawn to the moon but not know how to start celebrating each phase of the moon. Its taken me a long time to find my footing in this world of spirituality and what that means for me personally but I’ve learnt that learning about astrology and the moon are things I truly love.

So happy full harvest moon and I hope you celebrate in your own way and go into this retrograde peacefully and aligned with your life goals!
