What are you doing with your Harvest Full Supermoon with Partial Eclipse?
The ninth Full Moon of 2024, “Harvest Moon”—on September 17th, will be an exceptional full moon to get outside to witness at moonrise around 7:00 pm as it drifts into Earth’s shadow during a slight partial lunar eclipse. The eclipse will begin at 7:21 pm and reach its maximum coverage at 7:44 pm. It will also be the second—and second-biggest—“supermoon” full moon of the year.
In the cycle of death and rebirth, the Full Moon represents the start of the death phase. It’s a spiritual time to reflect on what has passed while preparing for new experiences and transformations. This means listening to the universe’s subtle signs and letting go of things that keep you stuck.
Many cultures celebrated the harvest with a fire ceremony as a way to make prayers, activate intentions, and engage with the natural cycles of life. Fire ceremonies are performed during both “New” and “Full” Moon phases. At a new Moon, prayers and intentions are made and during the Full Moon, those prayers are released.
Harvest Moon Power Tools

Harvest Moon Amplification
Harness the powerful energy of the Harvest Moon by directing your focus toward the hopes, dreams and goals that you aspired over the summer months. Customize your experience by selecting a candle, candle holder and a crystal that resonates with your specific intention, corresponding to the suggestions listed above. You can hold the crystal during your intention setting or place it nearby. If you have an altar, these would be items to add.
Once you’ve found a tranquil setting, with your purpose and Harvest Full Moon energy in mind – ignite your chosen candle.
- Sit comfortably or lay down and begin by centering yourself through gentle and natural breathing (loosely focus on your breath – but don’t try to control or inhale/exhale in a certain way – just breathe naturally).
- Envision your future with clarity and precision, setting tangible and achievable goals that align with your long-term aspirations and imagine dissolving anything that seems to be blocking those goals.
- Allow the energy of the Harvest Moon to infuse you with confidence and resolve, empowering you to let go of what’s not working and to manifest success in your pursuits.
- Journal your inspiration, ideas and plans.
Enjoy!
