Lunar Guidance
Forgiveness — of yourself and others. This is the great letting go. What habits, thoughts, or relationships are you done carrying? Set them down.
Ritual: Forgiveness Practice
Sit quietly and bring to mind something you've been holding onto — resentment, guilt, a grudge. Say aloud: 'I release this. It no longer serves me.' Repeat until you feel the weight shift.
Garden Almanac
Water, transplant, and tend leafy greens
Water sign moons are the most fertile planting days. Excellent for watering, irrigating, and transplanting seedlings. Moisture is absorbed more readily.
Phase Action: Weed and cultivate
Decreased gravitational pull weakens weed roots. Best days for weeding, tilling, and pest control. Turn compost. Mow lawns to slow growth.
Avoid: Avoid harvesting herbs for drying — moisture content is too high.
Zodiac Season: ♏ Scorpio
The transformer — descent into depth as darkness deepens
Darkness deepens. Scorpio season is the descent — leaves fall, the natural world composts, and what's hidden comes to the surface. In tradition, this is the season of transformation, intensity, and confronting what lies beneath.
Deepening autumn — the biological world enters decomposition and dormancy. Melatonin production rises as nights lengthen, shifting the body toward introspection.
The Hunter's Moon
With fields cleared after harvest, hunters could easily spot deer and foxes fattening for winter. The Cree watched leaves fall and began storing food. Ashwin Purnima marks Sharad Purnima, celebrating the moon's cooling autumn light.
