The Harvest Moon, also known as the Full Moon closest to the autumnal equinox, carries a unique energy that resonates with abundance, harvest, and celebration. It serves as a reminder to gather our metaphorical crops, expressing gratitude for what we have achieved and harvested throughout the year. The fiery sign of Aries intensifies this energy, infusing it with passion, courage, and a renewed sense of purpose. This combination invites us to embrace our inner fire, take bold steps, and manifest our deepest desires.
The full moon in Aries is opposing the sun and libra, providing us with an opportunity to balance our emotions and our thoughts.
Full moons in general invite us to release what is no longer serving us in the Zodiac sign being illuminated. Aries can bring up strong emotions and suppressed anger.
This particular full moon provides us with an opportunity to examine our anger, feel it, and release it.

🌹Let's get started🥀
Materials:
1- roses
2- bowl
3- sage or incense
4- music
5- candle
The Mantra I suggest you play is:
-Om Gam Ganapati Namaha-
We call in Ganesha, the remover of obstacles.
As you say the mantra, pull a petal off of the rose flower and place the petal into a bowl. Continue this process 108 times. Each time you say the chant allow your anger to be released with the rose petal. When you are done you will have a beautiful bowl of rose petals. Each pedal represents a piece of your anger that you are releasing to the universe with love to be dispelled.
You can then spread your rose petals underneath the tree or a flower that you truly enjoy, or you can burn them along with your releases.
Here is another beautiful mantra that I recommend:
-Maha Kal Sat -
Which means, 'infinite who is deathless. This is a mantra calling your spirit to rise. It helps to banish fear and anxiety
