This moon isn’t here to be gentle. It’s here to help you grow.

Under the Corn Moon

You’ve probably felt it — a shift in the air, a pull in your chest, a quiet sense that something’s ready to change.

You might have seen posts about the Corn Moon, the eclipse, the blood moon… and wondered, What am I meant to do with all this energy?

Here’s the truth: you don’t need fancy rituals or the “right” tools. You just need presence, intention, and a moment to connect back to yourself.

This moon is a powerful one. It’s not just about setting intentions — it’s about release, renewal, and choosing to grow. I felt it deeply, standing by a fire on the beach in Scarborough. And in this blog, I’ll share that experience — and show you how to honour this moon in your own way, wherever you are.

Why the Moon Matters in Spiritual Practice

The moon moves in cycles — and so do you.

When you work with the moon, you're tuning into a natural rhythm that helps you reflect, reset, and grow with more intention. Each phase brings something different:

“New moons are for planting seeds.

Full moons are for clarity and release.

Everything in between is the journey.”

Spiritual practices tied to the moon help you feel more grounded, more connected — and less like you're just drifting through life.

This Corn Moon is a chance to start fresh, with purpose. To listen in, and act from within

What Makes This Moon So Powerful

This isn’t just any new moon. It’s the Corn Moon — traditionally linked to harvest, reflection, and preparing for the darker half of the year. It’s about gathering what you’ve learned and deciding what’s worth carrying forward.

But this year, the Corn Moon comes wrapped in eclipse and blood moon energy — and that makes it intense.

Eclipses shake things up. They expose truths, end cycles, and push you out of anything that’s no longer aligned. Blood moons amplify all of that — emotions, clarity, intuition.

“In short? This moon isn’t here to be gentle.

It’s here to help you grow.

You’re being asked to get honest, go inward, and plant real, lasting change.”

Ritual by the Fire: A Personal Story

I stood barefoot on the sand in Scarborough, the wind coming in from the sea, a small fire burning beside me. The Corn Moon hung above — full of quiet power — and I could feel something shifting, like the tide turning inside me.

• I didn’t go in with a plan. I simply gave thanks.

• I thanked the universe for everything that had brought me to that moment — even the hard things. I didn’t frame those past situations as negative anymore.

• I looked for the strength they’d given me

• I acknowledged the lessons, the growth, the way they’d shaped who I’ve become.

And that shift — choosing gratitude over resentment — allowed me to let go.

I left the anger, the hurt, the heaviness there by the fire.

I walked away lighter. Like something had been released from deep within me.

That’s what this Corn Moon is here for.

It’s not about forcing new goals or obsessing over what’s next. It’s about pausing. Taking stock. Choosing to carry forward only what serves you — and letting the rest fall away, with love.

Ritual doesn’t have to be complicated. What matters is that it’s honest. Present. Yours.

This Corn Moon isn’t asking you to be perfect. It’s asking you to be present.

• To pause. Reflect. Release.

• To say, “I honour what’s been, and I’m ready for what’s next.”

• Whether your ritual is by the sea, at your altar, or in your mind before bed — it matters. Not because of what it looks like, but because of what it means to you.

• Let this moon remind you:

• You’re allowed to grow.

• You’re allowed to change.

• You’re allowed to start again — without carrying the old weight.

So take what serves you. Leave what doesn’t. And trust that you're exactly where you're meant to be
