Did you know that your thoughts create feelings that are felt as emotions in your heart? And those emotions create a vibrational frequency that the universe matches?
Yep!
So when you catch yourself saying negative things about yourself like:
“I’m so flakey.”
“I’ll never be organized enough to ___________.”
“If I could just be more like __________.”
“I always make bad decisions.”
“I have no idea what I’m doing and feel so lost.”
Catch yourself and say this affirmation.
“I release thoughts that no longer serve me.”
Bonus tip: Try to turn that negative thought into a positive one or at least a positive-ish one.
“I get so excited about all of the possibilities around me.”
“Small steps every day help me reach my goals.”
“I’m a unique individual and my energy draws in the perfect people and situations.”
“I used to make bad decisions all of the time but not anymore.”
“Something wonderful is going to happen and I’ll be on the right path.”
Enjoy this new energy and all of the wonderful, magical things that will follow!
The Harvest Full Moon is one of my favorite Full Moons of the year!
It reminds us to take notice of what we have harvested through our thoughts, words and actions.
It reminds us to rejoice where we are happy and make changes where we are lacking.
Here are some ways to celebrate the Harvest Full Moon:
1. Shift Your Altar To Autumn:
Gather some autumn related supplies to place on your altar. If you like, you can clear off your whole altar and start fresh. Otherwise, move your altar items around to accomodate your autumn-themed peices.
Some examples would be:
Changing the candles to orange, black, or brown
Adding small pumpkins and gourds
Placing crystals that are red, orange, yellow, and brown.
Adding scented candles or grounding essential oils to your diffuser like Cedarwood or Pumpkin Spice.
Burning incense like Sandalwood or one with an autumn scent.
You might also like to add fallen leaves,
Images of fall leaves or pumpkins and possibly ceramic or stuffed squirrels or foxes.
Have fun with this!
You want this to be a place you will sit in front of and feel connected to the season. A place where you feel you can plant seeds and harvest a life you love!
2. Watch The Moon Rise
Every year when this moon rises it is always so huge and orange. I remember when I was in high school watching it rise in a cemetery and just being blown away.
Happy Autumn Equinox! Pick Your Autumn Animal Guide!

Each morning, ask your animal to guide you through your day and to help you tap into the qualities associated with this animal that will best serve you.
Messages revealed – clockwise from top! Owl – This fall season you are being asked to navigate in the dark. Remember this is a metaphor but one that you might be feeling deeply right now. Take time to strengthen your intuition by focusing on your third eye during meditation and pulling tarot or oracle cards, Call on Owl for wisdom and guidance to help you see what is hidden to most others.
Buffalo – The Buffalo is here to tell you that you everything you need already. During this season take stock of the abundance that already exists in your life. Including all of your positive attributes and strengths. This will create a vibrational energy to carry to you to the next level that you have your eye. When you find yourself complaining, ask Buffalo to guide you back to gratitude and prayer.
Cat – You are being invited to cultivate a deep sense of self this season. Take time for lots of self-care and things that increase your self-confidence. When you do this, you will emerge from this season with mix of affection and independence in your relationships.
Wolf – Your fierceness is being called upon. Listen to your intstincts and step into your role of protector and guardian. When you feel vulnerable. call on Wolf to be by your side. Definitely howl at the moon a few times this season.
Squirrel – If you have fallen behind on taking care of yourself and your goals during this pandemic, Squirrel is here to give you a boost of energy. Create a list of the things you want to catch up on. Persevere and work hard on checking things off your list this autumn. Call on Squirrel to remind yourself to resourceful when you are feeling stuck.
Fox – There is a lot of trickster energy around this year and even more so in this upcoming fall season. In order to not get overwhelmed or bamboozled, be prepared to use quick thinking. Any time you need to see through the cultural illusion, ask the Fox for guidance and then see what clues show up to guide you in the right direction.
Crow – Change is the only constant in life. Take time this season to learn how to emerge from change true to yourself. Crow might lead you to some magical practices that will help you feel more confident and also guide you through the trickster energy that is around this fall season. Imagine the Crow on your shoulder or nearby as your companion on your journey.
Spider – The spider always asks, “Are you caught in a web or weaving your own destiny?” You might like to start this season by journaling your answer to that question. If you are already weaving, then envision how your destiny looks and keep creating your web. If not, what is going on? How can you untangle yourself and emerge from this crazy year feeling good? Either way, call on Spider for patience as you work on yourself this season.
Feel free to share your Autumn Animal Guide in the comments!
Find time on the night of the full moon or the 3 days before or after to do yoga poses, breathing exercises, say affirmations, or light candles.
Express gratitude for your life and your intention or project at this time.
Take note of any manifestations or guidance that have shown up so far and celebrate.
Possibly journal about thoughts, emotions, or ideas to help you get even more guidance.
This is powerful!
How to add some Pisces flair:
Pisces is a water sign and is associated with fish. The energies associated with Pisces are idealistic, artistic, dreamer, imaginative, self-delusion, compassion, healer, and family.
Which one do you need to tap into during your ritual?
Below is a ritual that you can do for any new moon. Before we get to that, I am sharing tips to make this special to the New Moon in Leo. Leo is a fire sign and is associated with the lion.
In my book, Tend To Your Vibration, I share that the energies associated with lions are powerful, strength, personal power, assertiveness, domination, regal, and king-like.
Which one do you need to tap into over the next moon cycle?
For me, it is personal power.
If you have essential oils, then pick one based on the energy you want to tap into. I might pick Cedarwood or Frankincense. Or pick it based on the color of the bottle!
Grab stones that remind you of the fiery energy of Leo, like citrine, red jasper, tigers eye, or carnelian.
Gather your supplies and find a quiet place to sit.
Ritual:
Place your stones on your altar, in front of you, or around you. (Cleanse them before if needed.)
Tune in with your breath. Deep breaths or Lunar Breath (left-nostril breathing) for 1 to 3 minutes. You could do Solar Breath to tap into Leo’s fiery energy also – here is a post about how to do each breath.
(Optional) If you have a ritual or taper candle, you can anoint the candle by rubbing your essential oil on the outside. Keep the energy you chose in your mind as you do this. No candle? You can simply diffuse or inhale the scent during the ritual.
Light your candle with your word, energy, or intention in mind.
Write down the energy you want to bring in or your intention for the next lunar cycle.
Hold your cards in front of your heart and ask God/Universe/Spirit and your guides to help show you how you can embody or manifest this in your life.
Shuffle and pull a card.
Journal about the message you receive.
Gaze at the candle flame and let your mind relax. Know that as the candle burns your intention goes from the physical world into the spirit world to be manifested back in the physical world in the future.
Then close your eyes and see if any more intuitive guidance shows up.
Write down any actions you can take to make your intention a reality.
Pick a stone and empower it with your intention. Hold it in your hand and imagine it being filled with white light then say your intention.
Close out your ritual by returning to your breath.
Give thanks to God/Universe/Spirit, your guides, and yourself.
Blow your candle out. (Light it during the next moon cycle to tap into your intention or again on the Full Moon.)
Carry your stone with you or place it somewhere special to remind you of the energy you are shifting.
You can check in daily with your intention or simply during the waxing phase, the full moon, and the waning phase.
Play around with it and make it your own. You can use all of the lessons in Tend To Your Vibration to create your own rituals.
Enjoy taking this time for yourself on the new moon!
