What is special about a Harvest Moon?
It coincides with the autumnal equinox, the first day of fall, which is Sunday, September 22.
As almanac lore goes, it's called the Harvest Moon because in the days before electricity lit up our fields, the moon's bright glow helped guide farmers as they were harvesting crops at the end of the season.
What energy does the Harvest Moon bring?
This time is considered as the most powerful period of the month for receiving abundance, showing gratitude and performing manifestation.
The Moon energy is very high during this time period and this is the best to turn your desires into reality.
