Today we’re thrilled and honored to welcome Sasha Sagan. Raised in a secular household by the astronomer Carl Sagan and writer and producer Ann Druyen, Sasha was taught that the natural world and vast cosmos are full of profound beauty, and that science reveals truths that are more wondrous than any myth or fable. When she herself became a mother, Sasha began her own hunt for the natural phenomena behind our most treasured occasions — from births to deaths, holidays to weddings, anniversaries, and the simple ways we mark the rhythms of the everyday. Seeing life itself as worthy of celebration, Sasha authored the book, For Small Creatures Such As We, which thoughtfully explores how we might blend science and spirituality.Let’s listen in as Sasha shares how she’s been creating a new set of rituals for her young daughter that honor the joy and significance of each experience. She’ll also share how you can design your own rituals to feel more connected to self, community, and the vast universe we’re all an integral part of.

Some sources claim the name originates from ancient Native American month names, while others point out that Harvest month was recorded as early as in the 700s in both Anglo-Saxon and Old High German languages. In ancient times, it was common to track the changing seasons by following the lunar month rather than the solar year, which the 12 months in our modern calendar are based on.   The most common Native American names for the September Full Moon is Full Corn Moon and Barley Moon, and these names do not vary with the equinox.     Regardless of where the name originated, the astronomical significance of the Harvest Moon is the same all over the Northern Hemisphere. The Full Moon closest to the September equinox is astronomically special because the time between one moonrise to the next becomes shorter around this time.   Normally, the Moon rises on average 50 minutes later every day in a lunar month, which is the time it takes the Moon to travel through all the Moon phases. However, for a few days around the Harvest Moon, the Moon rises less than 50 minutes later than the day before. In the old days, the early moonrise for a few days around the equinox meant that farmers could work and harvest their crops for a longer time in the evenings.   Moon Rise Today 4:44p Next Thurs 8:34   Constellations Pisces  e Phoenix se horizon Aquarius s Saggitarius sw Scorpius sw horizon   Institute for Astonomy http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/publications/starcharts/  Mercury is to close to the sun ti be visible setting at 6:34p Venus8:10p Jupiter 9:15p Saturn12:00a Mars 2:14a Uranus 8:45a SURF REPORT North  Flat to a half foot (lake haleiwa offers great diving beaches and water sports) South 1-2 on the holding may have south swell  tuesday — high tides mid days East 2-3 declining to 1-3 which will hold throught the week West Flat to a half foot (lake haleiwa offers great diving beaches and water sports) Currently NO Advisories for Hawaiian waters Island Events!!!
