The Full Moon on September 7, 2025 will be more than just a beautiful night sky. Known as the Corn Moon, it also brings a Blood Moon lunar eclipse. This rare event holds meaning in the Bible, in spiritual practice, and even in science.

Full Moon Ritual: Lavender + Sea Salt Bath

A simple way to connect with this Full Moon is through a lavender and sea salt bath. This practice is easy for beginners and helps release old energy while inviting peace and empowerment.

How to Do It:

1. Prepare the Bath
   • Add a handful of sea salt or Epsom salt (for cleansing and refreshment).
   • Add a few drops of lavender oil or dried lavender (for calm and clarity).
2. Set Your Intention
   • As you step in, say quietly what this bath means for you.
   • Example: “I release what no longer serves me,” or “I start anew, renewed and empowered.”
3. Soak and Breathe
   • Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and let go of stress or heavy emotions.
4. Finish with Gratitude
   • Step out gently, whisper thanks, and carry the renewed energy with you.

This bath aligns beautifully with the cleansing and renewing energy of the Full Moon.

The Bible and the Full Moon

Scripture often connects the moon to sacred timing and prophecy:

• Genesis 1:14 — The moon marks “sacred times, and days, and years.”
• Psalm 81:3 — “Sound the ram’s horn at the new moon, and when the moon is full, on the day of our festival.”
• Joel 2:31 — “The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood before the great and dreadful day of the Lord comes.”
• Revelation 6:12 — “The full moon became like blood.”

The Blood Moon eclipse of this Corn Moon brings these words to life, reminding us of cycles of change and renewal.

The Science Behind the Full Moon

For those who want the how and why, science explains this Full Moon clearly:

• Timing: The Corn Moon peaks on September 7, 2025 at 2:08 PM UTC (10:08 AM EDT in the U.S., 3:08 PM in the U.K.) (TimeandDate).
• Visibility: The eclipse will be fully visible in Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia. In the Americas, it occurs during the day and won’t be visible, but live streams will be available (NASA).
• Why the Moon Turns Red: During a total lunar eclipse, Earth’s shadow covers the Moon. Sunlight bends through our atmosphere, filtering out blue light and leaving a red glow (NASA).
• Effects on Earth:
  • Tides rise higher (spring tides) during full moons (NOAA).
  • Sleep may be lighter or shorter under full moons (National Library of Medicine).
  • Animals often shift behavior patterns, showing the moon’s impact on life (Scientific American).

Why This Full Moon Matters

This Corn Moon Blood Moon is significant on three levels:

• Spiritual: a time for release, renewal, and empowerment.
• Biblical: a reminder of prophecy where the moon itself becomes a sign.
• Scientific: a rare lunar eclipse lasting over an hour, connecting Earth, sun, and moon in perfect alignment.

Final Reflection

This Full Moon is more than light in the sky. It’s a moment of connection:

• Through a simple lavender and sea salt bath.
• Through scripture that gives meaning.
• Through science that shows the wonder of creation.

It reminds us that endings bring new beginnings in spirit, in faith, and in the natural world.
