The refiner — harvest season's attention to craft and detail
Summer winds down and the harvest begins. Virgo season is about refining, organizing, and preparing — sorting the wheat from the chaff. The days shorten noticeably. Attention turns to craft, health, and discernment.
Late summer into early autumn — the transition period. PNAS research shows working memory begins its rise toward its autumn equinox peak.
The Harvest Moon
The full moon nearest the autumn equinox, rising shortly after sunset for several consecutive nights. This extended moonlight gave farmers extra hours to harvest crops before frost. The most famous moon name across Western culture.
