July's Hay Moon Cycle
This is a potent time to reconnect with your body’s wisdom, honour your steady growth, and step into deeper alignment with what truly nourishes you. What are you ready to release to feel lighter? Where are you being called to root more deeply before you rise?
The Hay Moon: Pause, Prepare, and Begin Again
The Hay Moon carries the energetic signature of sacred gathering, the wisdom of knowing when to pause, prepare, and begin again. In Celtic tradition, this moon marks the height of summer’s bounty, a time when communities harvested together and honoured the rhythm of the land. This Full Moon shines light on what you’ve been carrying too long, and invites you to gently lay it down, so you can move forward with grace and grounded strength.
This cycle, we’re supported by the powerful energy of Archangel Michael, the angel of protection, truth, and spiritual strength. Michael helps you cut energetic cords, release fear, and stand strong in your inner knowing. To support this process, we’ll be working with Rosemary Essential Oil, a cleansing, activating plant ally that helps clear stagnation, sharpen the mind, and reconnect you with your intuitive power. We’re also working with Opalite, a luminous stone that brings calm, confidence, and clarity. It’s your sacred reminder that even in quiet stillness, you are preparing to shine.

The Hay Moon: Sacred Stillness, Grounded Strength, and Soulful Simplicity
Lay down the weight.
Return to your rhythm.
And let the Hay Moon root you in what matters.
✨ Full Moon
The Hay Full Moon is a cosmic call to align with the rhythm of the earth. 🌕🌾 Imagine standing in a golden field at dusk - barefoot, heart open, the scent of summer in the air, and the moon rising gently above it all. Spiritually, this Full Moon invites you to release what no longer sustains you and honour the quiet strength that comes from deep inner rooting.
Let this be the moon where you clear space for what truly matters. Whether you’ve felt heavy, distracted, or just ready to exhale — the Hay Moon helps you shed the weight (energetically and emotionally) and reconnect with a slower, more sacred pace. Let go with reverence. Move forward with grounded purpose.
✨ New Moon
The Hay New Moon offers a sacred pause in the warmth of midsummer - a moment to breathe, return to yourself, and tend to the inner landscape.
🌑🌾 It’s the soft invitation to ask: What truly nourishes me now? What am I ready to grow, not out of urgency, but from quiet clarity?
Rather than pushing forward, this New Moon invites gentle realignment. Let your next move rise from stillness, not striving. Listen to the wisdom that speaks in the silence. Think soulful preparation over outward productivity. The Hay Moon reminds us: true momentum begins beneath the surface.
✨ Awaken with the Energy of this Moon
The Hay Moon brings a season of sacred stillness, steady release, and grounded momentum — all under the protective and empowering presence of Archangel Michael, angel of truth, courage, and spiritual strength. His energy helps you cut cords, clear fear, and stand tall in what’s truly yours.
Work with Rosemary Essential Oil to sweep away mental clutter, awaken your intuition, and bring clarity to your energy field — it’s grounding, invigorating, and a powerful ally for truth-telling and energetic protection.
Then invite in the magic of Opalite, a gentle yet luminous stone that encourages inner peace, quiet confidence, and calm self-expression. It’s the perfect crystal for tuning into your path and trusting it fully.
Whether you join us in circle or ceremony under the Hay Moon or hold your ritual in solitude, the Hay Moon offers a chance to realign with your truth, not with urgency, but with grace, clarity, and quiet strength. Let yourself be guided by the grounded light within.
Hay Moon Rituals and Practices
The Hay Moon is a sacred time of deep grounding, quiet release, and preparing the soil for what’s to come. It invites us to pause with presence, listen inward, and let go of what no longer supports our growth. This lunar cycle is held in the protective strength of Archangel Michael, the clearing energy of Rosemary Essential Oil, and the soothing guidance of Opalite.
Here are some grounding and clarifying rituals to help you align with the steady, soul-led rhythm of the Hay Moon:
💦 Sea Whisper Ritual: Stand by the sea or hold a bowl of salt water. Whisper your fears, doubts, or confusion into the water — let it hold the weight you’re ready to release. As you pour it into the earth or return it to the sea, visualise yourself stepping forward lighter, clearer, and more connected to your truth.
🔥 Sacred Fire Release:
The Hay Moon honours stillness before action—so let the fire gently clear what weighs you down. Write down old beliefs, emotional heaviness, or anything you've outgrown. Then (safely) burn them in a candle flame, fire bowl, or hearth. As the smoke rises, imagine your roots deepening, your energy lightening, and your spirit steadying for the next season of growth.
🌿 Ceremonial Drink:
Brew a simple infusion with rosemary, lavender, or lemon balm—herbs that steady the mind and clear emotional fog. As you sip, feel the warmth settle your system and the clarity rise within. Hold your mug to your heart, breathe slowly, and let this quiet moment guide your next right step. Under the Hay Moon, stillness is sacred—and deeply revealing.
💎 Crystal Clarity Practice:
Hold Opalite in your hand or place it gently on your third eye during meditation. This luminous stone soothes your spirit, calms your mind, and invites gentle clarity. Carry it with you as a reminder that your inner peace is sacred and your focused energy lights the path ahead. Under the Hay Moon, clarity blossoms in stillness and steady intention.
🌟 Archangel Michael Connection:
To invite Archangel Michael’s protective and clarifying guidance, light a blue or white candle and sit in quiet reflection. Ask him to help cut energetic cords, bring courage, and illuminate your path with truth. You can also call upon Michael in your dreams by placing Opalite near your bed and setting the intention to awaken with clarity, strength, and calm protection.
🗣️ Affirmation Activation:
Words spoken beneath the Hay Moon’s gentle glow carry the power to root your intentions deep into the earth. Speak them aloud to the breeze, whisper them by the water, or write them in your journal bathed in moonlight.
🌾 I move with steady strength and clear purpose toward my soul’s growth.
🔥 I release what no longer serves and embrace the calm of change.
🌿 My energy is sacred, and I nurture where it flows.
🌙 I trust life’s natural rhythm and honour my grounded wildness.
✨ I am protected, deeply rooted, and ready to rise with grace.
Strength and Purpose: The Hay Moon is Rooting You
Under the light of the Hay Moon, you root, you rest, and you return to your truth.
The journey is yours.
And it is blessed.
Reflect on Your Rooted Inner Journey
The Hay Moon, named for the sacred rhythms of harvest, community, and grounded strength, invites you to pause and honour your personal path—the steady steps, the quiet courage, the deep unfolding of your soul’s growth. As the summer sun softens and the fields are heavy with abundance, you are reminded of how far you’ve come. This is not just a season of pause—it’s a season of meaningful preparation and rooted momentum.
Where have you taken steady steps forward, even when the way wasn’t clear? Where have you nurtured freedom within yourself? Let this moon reflect your resilience, your wisdom, and the sacred grounding your spirit is choosing now.
Release What’s Weighing You Down
Just as the harvest fields shed their grasses under the warm breeze, this moon invites you to release what holds you back—doubt, old patterns, and expectations that no longer serve your growth. With the strong, protective light of Archangel Michael, visualise these burdens falling away like leaves on the wind, making space for clarity and calm.
Whether it’s burning a letter to your past, breathing deeply by the sea, or casting your release into the water’s flow, let your letting go be both fierce and gentle—cleansing and complete.
Recharge with Earth and Elemental Energy
This is a moon of balance and deep grounding—earth, water, fire, and air working together to nourish your body and soul. Stand barefoot in the hayfields, walk along the shore, or lie under the open sky. Breathe in the fresh clarity of Rosemary Essential Oil and feel your senses awaken. Meditate with Opalite to calm your mind, steady your spirit, and connect you with your inner guidance.
Let nature remind you that your path is sacredly supported—and you are growing steadily toward what’s next.
Set Intentions for Grounded Growth
The Hay Moon is your invitation to choose your next steps with calm intention and soulful awareness. Light a candle, sip your ceremonial tea, and allow stillness to guide your heart. Call on Archangel Michael to strengthen your resolve and shield your journey. Anoint yourself with Rosemary or hold Opalite during meditation. Journal not just what you want to do, but how you want to feel as you move forward.
Affirm:
“I am rooted, resilient, and aligned with my soul’s true direction.”
Tune into the Rhythms of Nature
As summer reaches its fullness, this moon asks you to return to your own natural rhythm. The gentle sway of grass in the wind, the steady pulse of the ocean waves, the scent of earth warmed by sun—all call you back to your innate wisdom. Let this Hay Moon awaken your grounded power, your quiet confidence, and your sacred patience. You are not rushing—you are arriving exactly as you should.
Celebrate Your Sacred Momentum
This is not just a moon of pause—it’s a moon of sacred preparation and steady growth. Whether you gather with the Magic Moon Crew on the beach for the Full Moon Circle, Release & Cleanse ceremony, or soak in the healing elements of the New Moon Sauna & Sea Ceremony at Avon Beach, let these sacred moments carry you. You are releasing. You are realigning. You are remembering your strength. You are ready to rise.
