Greetings my Witchy Friends!
It's hard to believe the Harvest Moon is upon us! I consider this moon my anniversary as it was 28 Harvest Moons since I became dedicated to this path.
Well, the Harvest Moon peaked at 5:58 AM EST today.
This fiery celestial event is a perfect opportunity to harness your inner strength, embrace independence, and illuminate your path. Are you ready to dive into the magick of this powerful Full Moon in Aries? Let's get started!
Understanding the Aries Energy
Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, is all about embracing your individuality and authenticity. It's the "me" versus "we" polarity, opposing Libra's partnership and camaraderie. As the Harvest Moon graces us with its brilliance in Aries, it's time to awaken your inner warrior. Be courageous, adventurous, and unapologetically yourself. This is your moment to prioritize your needs, stand in your power, and show the world who you are.
Astrological Aspects
This Harvest Moon in Aries promises an array of celestial energies to work with. Mars, the ruler of Aries, will join hands with Venus, igniting passion, desire, and a hint of romance. However, be cautious as Mars and Venus may clash with Pluto, potentially bringing intense power struggles to the surface.
On the brighter side, Mercury will engage in delightful conversations with Jupiter, ushering in luck and happy vibes. Uranus, the planet of surprises, will bring unexpected blessings. Just remember to stay grounded, for Neptune's illusions might try to cloud your vision and leave you feeling vulnerable.
The Full Harvest Moon reaches its peak illumination on September 29, but its influence will be palpable from September 26 to October 2, 2023. Take a moment to reflect on events in your life from late April 2023; situations and plans set in motion after the solar eclipse in Aries on April 19 may be reaching fruition now.

Release Your Intention: Carefully fold the piece of paper with your intention written on it and hold it over the candle's flame. As it begins to burn, visualize your intention turning into energy and rising up into the universe. Place the burning paper into the fireproof dish to let it safely burn out.
Gratitude and Closing: After the paper has burned completely, sit in silence for a few moments, expressing gratitude for the energy and strength you've received from the Aries Full Moon. Blow out the candle and say:
With gratitude, I end this rite, Aries' fire, burn through the night.My intention's set, the path is clear, As I embrace the magick, I hold dear.
Dispose of the Ashes: Once the candle has cooled and the ashes remain, scatter them outside under the open sky, returning your intentions to the universe.
