As the full moon illuminates the sky above, it shines brightly upon us revealing patterns in our personal and emotional maturation journey that we are ready to release. This is an opportunity to reap the rewards of the efforts made by acknowledging the results of past decisions and to recognize the ways we are being asked to mature at this moment.
The Moon is traditionally considered to be detriment in Capricorn, which means it tends to be more of a challenge for us to feel, validate, and express our emotions, needs, and vulnerability, despite being drawn to support others. These days, the invitation for us is to question existing definitions of success, reflect on what we perceive as work-life balance, and get clear about what matters the most for us, particularly when it comes to personal fulfillment.
We are being asked to reflect on the emotional impact of our childhood, how we have been nurtured, and how we have been taught to express and tend to our emotions and needs. We have an opportunity to uncover unconscious conditioning we internalize from family, culture, or religion, and recognize structures within our consciousness that keep us disconnected from the truth of what we feel. This Full Moon asks us to reflect on how we have been programmed to relate to our and others’ sensitivity, needs, and feelings of emotions. It is an opportunity to transform our relationship with both vulnerability and personal responsibility.
How to harness the power of this celestial event:
Meditation: During the full moon period, meditating can help ease some of the discomfort felt by the shifting energies. It also can help bring about clarity of the next step or phase of our Journey. Meditating can be done in silence or with a guide, there is no wrong way to do it, it helps us all be in the Present.
Crystal Charging: Crystals can be recharged monthly under the light of the full moon. They utilize the energies of this celestial body to cleanse the captured energies within. NEVER charge your crystals under a solar eclipse. To recharge your crystals between Full Moons, place them in the Earth for a few hours, cleanse them with Sea Salt, or perform Reiki on them.
Cleansing: Cleansing rituals under a Full Moon are extremely beneficial for the Soul. Draw a bath with essential oils and incense to calm the Body and Mind. Smudging your space with Sage can cleanse the energies of where you physically are to bring about a sense of Peace. Use this time to reset and rebalance the energies you surround yourself with.
Intention Setting: To set intentions during a Full Moon helps our Mind and Spirit align with what we want manifest for ourselves. It is a powerful time to be authentic and truthful with the Universe to make sure our Highest Self is being served.
Expressing Gratitude: Being gracious with what the Universe has already given our Mind, Body, and Spirit allows us to be open to continue receiving the gifts and knowledge for more growth on our Journey
