Full Moon Vibes
This is an epic Full Moon in a number of ways. First it is actually a Super Blue Moon which is quite rare. The next time we can expect to experience a Super Blue Moon will be in early 2037, according to NASA.
Blue Moon: the third Full Moon in an Astrological Season with four Full Moons (typically over 3-4 months). This happens when the lunar cycle which is 29.5 days is shorter than the solar year (365.25 days).
Supermoon: a new or full moon that occurs when the moon is within 90% of its closest approach to Earth. It appears 30% brighter & 14% larger than a typical Full Moon.
This powerful lunar event also brings with it a surge of energy jolting us awake and initiating profound changes in consciousness, perception, and behavior. Inspiring us to make changes that are long overdue, that on some level we knew needed to happen. Some may experience tension, disconnection or even being fed-up with their current existence leading to breakthroughs. These breakthroughs may present as significant shifts in our roadmap for our lives, allowing for things beyond our wildest dreams to present themselves. It may also inspire dramatic changes in how some people live their lives.
This month's Full Moon highlights the Leo-Aquarius polarity. Leo centers our individual creativity and desire to make a difference in the world while Aquarius brings to light the importance of connection. The individual existence woven into the collective consciousness. It is how we each are able to show up as our unique, creative selves balancing our individual interests with the issues faced by the collective in order to co-create a world based in love and peace instead of fear.
Aquarius also offers us the opportunity to see life through the eyes of Eagle. Eagle flies high above the earth, centering the whole picture with the ability to see the minutia at the same time. This allows us to zoom out and examine our lives from a different perspective, to evaluate our priorities and values through this new lens. We start to notice details of the world around us that were previously distorted by our myopic view of life.
We are now able to peel back the layers through karmic cleansing to access the truest version of ourselves yet. With Mercury still in Retrograde we are able to see how we are denying our light to the world around us. At the same time we are being empowered to smash through the glass ceiling sharing our light in service of the collective.
The Pluto in Aquarius transit highlights our relationship with technology for the next 20 years. What do our lives look like in terms of our use of, relationship to, and reliance on technology. Ultimately, releasing and letting go of the behaviours that no longer or will not serve our highest and best good over time.
Uranus the planet of rebellion is activated during the Full Moon as well. This ignites our desire to release antiquated belief systems and behaviour patterns that are keeping us stuck, that no longer align with our highest and best good. This release creates the space for quantum leaps or timeline shifts to attract the life we’ve been dreaming into reality. The destiny our soul chose when it volunteered to exist in human form at this exact moment in time. Step into your light, your destiny, and live the life you’ve been dreaming into existence. The only thing stopping you, is you. Any resistance, obstacles or constraints are just experiences gained and lessons learned. How you react and push against them, allowing them to disrupt your peace or observe and flow with them, choosing to see them as gifts is all on you. Which path will you choose?
If you choose to rip the band-aid off and step off the ledge you may see the shift immediately, but remember we are also experiencing Mercury Retrograde which could mean things take a more relaxed approach, taking longer than you would like for drastic changes to take place. Just go with the flow, look for the lessons. Are you still releasing? Can you go deeper within? What are the lessons you are struggling against to learn? Spend time balancing or perhaps even weaving your analytical and emotional experiences for deeper insights. Integrate your shadow self into your light, step into that light and share it with the world.
