Harvest Love

The Harvest

Back in August, I realized there was a powerful pattern approaching over the next six weeks. From the Black New Moon in Virgo on August 23^rd, to the Harvest moon on October 6^th, there were connections that were both personal to me and important to the collective.

We are now at the end of that cycle, and it’s time to wrap it all up and move into the next one.

The themes the universe has been taking us through have been heavy. Powerful. Insistent. Now is the time to look back for a moment and see where your growth was. See what personal messages have been coming through for you. See where the universe is guiding you.

The eclipses brought us endings that were coming one way or another. What have you been urged to release since the end of August? Is it a relationship? A career? A bad habit masquerading as a good habit? A bad habit slapping you right in the face? Self betrayal? Have the messages been subtle and the release easy, or have the lessons been so difficult you found yourself resisting?

Look. Sit with it. Journal it out. Keep it in a permanent memory so that when the last of the eclipses on the Virgo/Pisces axis approaches in March of 2026, we are ready to move through the final stages and then onto our next lesson of growth.

The divination I did to help guide both myself and the collective through this pattern brought several themes to the forefront–themes of gentleness, peace, reverence, community, harmony, balance, oneness, integration, reciprocity and nurturing.

From our ancestors, we received the wisdom to look back and rest in their knowledge, embracing their lessons so that we could move forward through the transformations along the way to the autumn equinox with success, so that we could grow in harmony with our own souls. They asked us to allow the themes of gentleness, peace, reverence, community, harmony, reciprocity and balance to guide our activity over the next weeks. They asked us to be ready to receive by the time the harvest came; to shore up energy for the coming cold months. To remember that abundance is our birthright. They asked us how we will open our hearts to receive the abundance of the upcoming harvest. 

The Knot of Isis appeared to help focus our intent as eclipse season brought universally-guided endings. This magical knot reminded us that the goal was to allow the process of disintegration so that we could be reformed within the safety of her containment. As we began the process of coming back together, our job was to integrate the Divine Feminine completely for soul elevation. The appearance of this card offered powerful protection that allowed us to heal and flourish while we move through a process that will ultimately help our energy stabilize by the end of the transition.

And now we are here. The Harvest moon is coming on October 6^th. Are you ready to receive? Have you followed the guidance of our ancestors and been gentle with yourself? Looked for ways to work in harmony with community and nature? Opened your heart to receive all that is for you?

Have you spent time with yourself and journaled out your experiences, the impacts you’ve felt, your intentions, your goals, your manifestations? Have you offered that to the Divine Feminine in rhythm with the lunar cycles of the last five months, asking for personal support and guidance?

On a personal level, I’m sitting with messages that I have received in my own spiritual work, and there is one I wanted to share with you because it ties directly into the theme of harvesting—which is where we are heading between now and October 6^th.

Back towards the beginning of the cycle, as we headed towards the harvest period, I sat in meditation with my spirit guides and asked: How can I be in alignment with the upcoming harvest season? What should I be ready to receive?

The answer was surprising, and confusing.

Love. Harvest love.

Of course, my first question was—how do you harvest love?

After I came out of a meditative state and documented my journey for that day, I sat with the whole message. My guides had not just said to “harvest love”. They said a lot more. They told me to release anxiety and control. They said to release the need for things to look or be a certain way because they are guiding me and I don’t need to set those expectations or worry about the minutia in the details. They said to flow. And the instruction wasn’t just to “harvest love”…it was for me to harvest, on a very personal level, more self-love.

As I continued to think about the message and how on earth one is supposed to harvest either love or self love, I began to see it as a metaphor for internal shadow work. In this sense, my guides were directing me not to look externally, expecting to receive a literal tangible harvest, but to go within, cultivating more self-love. In the totality of the message they offered that day was a clue to how to do this. They shared their depth of love for me. They let me know I am loved in spirit and have been loved in every physical form I’ve ever embodied more than I could know. That their love for me has nothing to do with me being special. That I am loved because I exist. Because I am.

They said to tap into that never-ending well of love and use it to help feed my own self-love. It’s a deeply beautiful message and it brought me to tears, and it is a message I have kept in the forefront of my spiritual work over the last few weeks.

There are specific lessons spirit brought to my doorstep to help me choose myself first and harvest that self-love. There have been more messages and more synchronicities, more joyful moments and realizations, frustrations, tears, anger, and a ton of support to help me let go of the least beneficial habits I lean on to keep me safe in an unsafe and hostile world. All of this in alignment with a period fertile with the energy of release helps me sit in eternal gratitude for my connection with the universe.

I am ready to open my heart and mind to receive more than I have ever asked for.

I AM.

YOU ARE.

WE ARE.

AND ABUNDANCE IS OUR BIRTHRIGHT.

What are you looking forward to receiving during the upcoming harvest moon?
