Moon Therapy: Happy Harvest Moon
Today’s post is from Lori B. Rosen, who writes Spa’s Zodiac Therapy each month.
The Harvest Moon is the full moon that falls closest to the Fall Equinox. Typically this moon falls in September, but this year it is in October. According to folklore, the Harvest Moon is also called the Wine Moon or Singing Moon. I think you know where I am going with this … That right! It’s time to put on your favorite tunes and enjoy your favorite wine with family/friends!
“Shine on, Shine on Harvest moon up in the sky”
Monday 9/28: Moon in Aquarius—this friendly vibration adds a touch of whimsy and good cheer to the people/projects in your life. Additionally, this moon is an excellent energy for games of chance, playing the lottery, and good luck.
Thursday 10/01: Pisces Moon slips in ushering in a tranquil vibration. Attune your soul with this peaceful energy to gain clarity and inner peace through prayer/meditation or dream work. Caution Pisces children: Brace yourselves for over-sensitivity and escapist tendencies during your moon.
Sunday 10/4: Harvest Moon/ Full Moon in Aries! Draw on this exciting energy to ignite your inner superhero. Our mission, if we choose to accept it, is to make a difference in our communities through service, initiation, and compassion.
Oh, Shine on, shine on, harvest moon
Up in the sky;
I ain’t had no lovin’
Since January, April, June or July.
Snow time ain’t no time to stay
Outdoors and spoon;
So shine on, shine on, harvest moon,
For me and my gal.
—music & lyrics – Jack Norworth & Nora Bayes

Tuesday 9/22: Moon in Scorpio + Fall Equinox = Lunar Magic! Scorpio’s moon combined with the Equinox allows us time to delve deep and penetrate our inner psyche. Let’s collectively use this powerful vibration to meditate and reflect on what we want to hold on to and what we need to release. Now that we have reevaluated our visions and dreams, the time is ripe for planting our seeds of hope, passion, and devotion.
Thursday 9/24: Sagittarius Moon gallops in bringing favorable energy for travel plans, sport activities, and outdoor adventures. Word of caution to all Sags, please be super mindful not push the envelope and know when to say Whoa!
Saturday 9/26: Moon in Capricorn. Use this motivational moon to set long term financial plans, create your 2010 budget, or complete your “to do” list. Remember, your point of power is now.
I like to think that the moon is there even if I am not looking at it. —Albert Einstein
