Harvest Moon 2026
Harvest Full Moon September 26, 2026
The Harvest Moon, the Full Moon nearest to the Autumn Equinox, has long been celebrated for its practical role in agriculture. For several nights, it rises soon after sunset, bathing the landscape in bright moonlight that once helped farmers harvest their summer crops well into the evening. To make the night even more memorable, golden Saturn will shine near the Moon, offering a stunning companion in the sky.
Every Full Moon brings polarity between its moon and sun sign. Full moons bring heightened energy. Just as the moon causes the tides to rise and fall we can also find our emotions experiencing heightened highs or lows. During this time we may discover our feelings are wound up or anxious. We may begin to feel discouraged if our new moon wishes or intentions have not manifested yet. It's important to remember that some manifestations need more time. This is why Full Moon Rituals are performed, to release low energies, patterns, anything you may find counter productive. Allow the brightness of the moonlight to shine on any darkness, to unblock, heal and shed the past.
This month’s Full Moon illuminates the axis of Aries and Libra, with the Moon shining boldly in Aries while the Sun rests in Libra. Libra, the sign of harmony, balance, and relationships, encourages us to seek fairness, restore peace, and release any lingering negativity within our connections. It invites us to let go of old resentments, forgive what no longer serves us, and move forward with grace.
Meanwhile, the Aries Moon ignites a different kind of energy. Bold, passionate, creative, and fiercely independent, Aries reminds us to honor our own needs and desires. This fiery lunar energy inspires courage, self-discovery, and powerful new beginnings.
The symbol of Libra, the balancing scales, serves as a gentle reminder to find harmony between these opposing forces. Balance the needs of the self with the needs of others. Balance giving with receiving. Balance independence with connection. Under this Full Moon, we are invited to create healthier relationships while staying true to our authentic selves.
Happy Full Moon,

Here is a Reiki filled Harvest Full Moon healing for anyone willing to receive it. Take a moment and just breathe…..
I call upon the radiant energy of the Harvest Moon.
With gratitude, I release all worries, fears, and burdens that are beyond my control. I surrender the need to force outcomes and trust that everything is unfolding exactly as it should, in perfect divine timing.
I welcome peace where there has been uncertainty and faith where there has been doubt. I trust the path ahead, even when I cannot see every step.
With an open heart and a courageous spirit, I am ready to step into the unknown, embrace new possibilities, and begin a beautiful new adventure.
Under the light of this Harvest Moon, I trust, I release, and I welcome all that is meant for me.
