Hua to ʻAkua: Fruiting, Full Energy, Moon Swelling 10/4-10/5

As we move deeper into ʻIkuwā, the moon swells from Hua toward ʻAkua (10/4 - 10/5)— days of fruiting and full energy. This is the high tide of the cycle, when mana (life-force) rises strong in our bodies and in the land.

It’s a time to be bold, to gather with others, and to give voice to what’s inside.

Where the ʻOle moons asked us to pause and release, these moons invite us to create, express, and connect. The guidance is not to hold your fire in — but to shape it into something that serves you and your ʻohana.

✅ What to Do

Begin a project that needs courage — this is the window to finally START!

Move your body vigorously: dance, hula, run, paddle, sweat. Let the energy flow and find its rhythm.

Gather with community or ʻohana: share a meal, tell stories, exchange laughter.

❌ What to Avoid

Bottling up emotions until they explode.

Wasting mana on arguments or drama.

Overextending yourself by trying to do it all alone — it’s okay to ask and receive help.

📝 Reflection Prompts

How can I channel intensity into creation, not conflict?

What is coming to fruition during this time that I am grateful for?

If journaling doesn’t call to you, try reflecting through art: color, draw, paint, create.

“O ka leo ka mana” — the voice carries power.

When you speak, sing, or chant, you are not just making a sound — you are sending out vibrations that shape your reality. ✨
