The season is changing as we are getting close to Autumn. Summer has reached its peak, and the air is shifting as we move away from summer. The days are getting shorter and cooler. Plants have matured and are undergoing changes that signify that transformation is near. The winds of change urge us to gather and prepare. Many plants have matured, awaiting to be gathered and used before winter. There is much abundance to share with others. In September we celebrate the end of summer and welcome the new season that is ahead.
September marks the harvest of grains and crops, and this full moon is known as the Corn Moon or Harvest Moon. This month’s moon name is closely associated with the autumn equinox. The autumn equinox is the official start of fall and marks the second time this year when day and night are of equal lengths. In past years, the September Moon is the closest Full Moon to the autumn equinox. This year the first full moon in October will be the closest. As a result, September and October share similar moon names and seasonal energy.
Both September and October are known as Harvest Moons, but the September Moon also goes by other names that reflect this month. The Corn Moon is another name for September. With the harvest of grains and crops, the September Corn Full Moon is also the Barley Moon, Fruit Moon, Wine Moon and Singing moon. These moon names reflect a time when farmers would harvest these seasonal grains and fruits to prepare for the coming months. When gathering would lead into the late night hours, the light of the Corn Moon would shine on. The yield that was produced helped farmers prepare for the lack of resources and food in winter. This abundance was often celebrated, and leftovers saved for the coming months. The moon signified it was time to harvest the crops, grains, and fruits, and to celebrate the abundance that was gathered.
In September, our emotions are running high. The full moon in September is in the sign of Pisces. As a water sign, this sign relates to our inner emotions. Combined with the high energy of the full moon, we will feel our emotions threefold. It will be important to check in with ourselves and try not to let our emotions get the best of us or to take it out on others. It can also be an opportunity to evaluate and analyze the emotions that surface. This will help to understand what needs to be worked on or released. Don’t try to “fix” or control your emotions, but let them flow and then reflect on them. With the autumn equinox near the end of the month, there is a balancing of energy. During this time, if we work on balancing ourselves, we will also find that this will help our energy eventually balance out.
As we head towards the autumn season, now is the time to gather, rest and reflect. Reflect on both our physical and emotional stockpiles. We may need to share, put away, or giveaway items we do not not need as summer is fading away. We also may need to release emotional baggage or behaviors that are holding us back from reaching our highest potential. This is the last full moon before the Fall Equinox. It is a reminder to make preparations as we head closer to winter.
