September Full Moon - Harvest Moon
The Magic of the September Harvest Moon
The Harvest Moon, named for its proximity to the autumn equinox, graces us with its luminous presence in September. It symbolizes abundance, gratitude, and the culmination of efforts throughout the year. This moon encourages reflection on personal growth and prepares us for the slower, inward journey of fall. It's the perfect time to celebrate what you've achieved and release anything that no longer serves you.
In boudoir, this energy reminds us of the beauty in embracing cycles—both in nature and within ourselves. Let this full moon inspire self-love, empowerment, and unapologetic confidence.
