Lunar Harvest Super Moon Eclipse 17 September 2024 – The Golden Fish of Change by Silver RavenWolf
The upcoming Lunar Harvest Super Moon Eclipse in Pisces on 17 September 2024 is not just any celestial event. This star studded brew provides a unique opportunity to bring a burst of exciting energy to the magickal table with the much needed theme of 'Breakthrough'. The shred that veil theme theme is significant as it signifies a time for overcoming obstacles, making significant progress, and experiencing personal growth. And I don't know about you, but I'm ready for it! We are looking forward to fine weather here, and I've already fashioned a special outdoor circle for ritual with wood (earth-Virgo) as the circle boundary and a cauldron (water-Piaces) as the central focus. I love a Pisces Full Moon because it captures the healing energies of the mind as well as the body. If you don't do anything else on Tuesday? Be sure to set blessed water out under the Moon's influence. Keep in fridge afterward. This is the best water for healing work over the winter. Pisces/Virgo energy is the best of both signs- Pisces power travels beyond the constraints and highlights the big picture, while Virgo supports the changes needed in the material world.
The peak of the eclipse, at 10:44 PM EDT/ 7:44 PM PDT, occurs about 10 minutes after the exact conjunction of the September Full Harvest Moon at 10:34 PM EDT/7:34 PM PDT. This is the 2nd super Moon of four in a row, gracing us with vibrant, strong, and impactful energies. Why is this eclipse considered a good one for Magick? The stars favorably line up with a Grand Earth Trine between the Sun, Uranus, and Pluto, activating the earth signs of Virgo, Taurus, and Capricorn. Some lovely sextiles from the Moon to Pluto and Uranus infuse this already powerful trine, creating that 'kite' pattern, an astrological formation (like a web of repeating energy as long as the celestial bodies stay in orb) that helps things flow smoothly and makes it easier to manifest your intentions. I like to think of a kite formation as a cosmic wind at your back, propelling you towards your goals. Grand Trines are not rare; but are considered uncommon, and the Grand Kite (also active) does fall into the rare category. With the Pisces visionary Full Moon, Tuesday's combined astro energies smile favorably on business, realization of potential, harvest activities, joy, and attainment. Uping your ante in this celestial brew includes encouraging those around you to reach their full potential.
During the eclipse, the Moon will be near Neptune and form a conjunction just a few hours later, adding a dreamy, intuitive vibe to your process of becoming. This dreamy, intuitive energy is not to be underestimated, as it can open up new possibilities and inspire you to think outside the box. Expansive Jupiter sits in a harmonious trine with the attraction power of Venus, encouraging a vast and successful flow toward the manifestation of your goals. Uplifting and inspiring, this dancing duo boosts the good vibes even more, giving us a great opportunity to work with positive, expansive energy.
What Am I Going To Be Doing? I thought you would never ask! I will be making a magical oil with the breakthrough theme. The ritual will include breaking old pottery dipped in herbal holy water (no salt) during the ritual. The pottery will be recycled and used in gardening projects next spring. To be clear, the negativity isn't transferred into the clay, the clay (earth) is used as a vehicle to dissolve (by sound and pattern rearrangement) blockages standing in the way of our success. But, that isn't all. I've been working on creating my own divination tool. I tested the process at our Herb Fest, and will be using it again at Mabon. I do plan to write an article on it. For now, though, I would like to continue experimenting with the system. This is a unique concept using peg doll images as the divinatory vehicle.
To me, your fortune lies in movement -- this isn't a time to sit on your duff and watch the world go by. I know you've had recent difficulties, and things just didn't expand as you planned, and perhaps you wondered where that good fortune might have run off to! Looking forward is the key. As Lord Serphant would say, "Dance the Dance!" Get moving! Embrace that joy! Pick up your confidence like a golden cloak and swirl that sparkling, good energy around yourself and step forward into joy! Some will be maudlin and negative. But you? Not you! The outcome of this eclipse is using the creative, colorful power of Pisces to bring positive change to your material world (Virgo) through your willingness to transform. Let's make this world a better place. The breakthrough you've been waiting for is at hand!
