Full Moon October 1st – Energy Report

This is the Harvest Moon, and first of 2 full moons this month.

Time for some fearlessness.

Full Moon in Aries brings the ability to work on our struggles with motivation, identity and being a spiritual being of consciousness living this human experience in this “meatsuit” vehicle.

We have all been experiencing many WTF??? moments this year, and September was a surreal month for those moments! We may even be feeling like we have run out of patience. For us to find greater sense of peace amidst the madness of the outer world, we must put on our armour and walk fearlessly and unflinchingly into those places where we may have unknowingly been in battle against ourselves. The warrior aspect of Aries asks you to honestly fight for yourself in a better way in order to find peace.

This particular Aries Full Moon relates to the Aries New Moon on the 24th of March this year. This New Moon kicked off the New Astrological year, and happened just as most of the world was entering lock down. At a collective level this full moon calls us to release the energy of that moment in time. Aries energy encourages us to think for ourselves, seeing beyond the distraction of media and news to see the real truth. Time to accept that there are two realities at play in any moment, the physical reality – which the eyes see and the etheric reality – which the soul understands. This Aries Full Moon brings to light the connection between spirit and body – and the courage it takes to realise this connection is real within the human experience.

As the first sign of the Zodiac, Aries is all about new beginnings, cycles and very much the energy of us arriving here in human form at birth. As souls we are reminded now we have all chosen to incarnate at this time and in this physical form to learn and evolve within our experiences. Aries energy helps us feel motivated and the desire to get things done, to effect change. It is also about accepting the body you are living in. However we live in a material world where shallow judgements make this difficult and we can end up in a place of punishing or judging the body. This is ego (fear), not soul. This Aries Full Moon calls for a release of self judgement. We are called towards a path of greater understanding that we are both human and spirit combined. To enjoy the ride of being in physical form, we could perhaps embrace the concept that this is not our first birth and it probably won’t be our last?

This Full Moon is an ideal opportunity to manifest some deep healing. Through our deepest wounds we learn about our own healing abilities as well as our true nature.

The physical and the energetic bodies ask us to see their link to one another. For example, if you find you continually get throat irritation, where are you not speaking the truth?

Ask this Moon energy to help dissolve and release what holds you back. Sit in quietude, listen to your emotions and pay attention to your body… allow it to tell you it’s secrets.

Questions to ask ourselves:

Where am I holding myself back?

How can I be more emotionally fearless?

Where do I need to reclaim my power in my personal relationships?

Whose opinions do I really need to take into account before I make important changes?

Where do I need to take action?

Where do I need to be more patient?

What do I admire about myself?

If you wish to work with this energy, I have a Full Moon Ritual guide with some simple ways to harness this beautiful energy and make it work for you.

This is also a Wishing Moon – These particular full moons have even more power than usual for us to tap into and harness for positive change.

The harnessing of moon phase energy in magical workings is an ancient tradition. A Wishing Moon is a very powerful time to be making lists of wishes, hopes, and aspirations, which over time our will can manifest into being.

The key is in making our wishes realistic and achievable with us being prepared to meet the Universe half way with our own efforts wherever possible.

I’ve put together a detailed easy to follow step by step manual guide to the full ceremony that will help you best in your manifesting work on Wishing Moons for the rest of 2020 and dates for 2021. 

I’m here if you need any overnight treatments to soothe the soul too…

Until next time xxx

Powerful! Libra Full Moon | April 19th 2019

This Friday April 19th 2019

Moon goes full 12:12 GMT      |      Moonrise 20:07

This is a helpful but deeply challenging full moon, and it is a Wishing Moon. It could well be the most powerful manifesting moon this year.

Time for action in our relationships and family lives – but be careful!

We are out of retrograde in several planets, we have been bombarded with stronger than usual  EMF and radio waves from recent solar activity which leaves us feeling woolly headed.

Good news – this moon is helping us to feel less discombobulated mentally.  Clarity!

Libra energy in this moon is very much affecting our relationships – we will be examining how we feel about equality, balance, peace. Have we compromised too much anywhere?

Weigh up the decisions you make right now as these will turn out to be important ones.

Rebalance wherever you need to, do resist the urge to over compensate for any realised sacrifice and speak kindly as you do so. We don’t need to break essentially good things apart to address minor dischord or establish new boundaries for ourselves if we need to reclaim our power in some aspect.

What goes around comes around  is the theme for the rest of this month, so behaving ethically and morally well is key if you don’t want anything biting you in the backside immediately. Bear this in mind with your manifesting efforts too – are you manifesting for the greater good of all involved in what you desire?

If you find yourself quick to anger, please take extra care to think before you speak and act – our words need to be measured so things are not said that cannot be taken back. This is a powerfully transformative time globally as individually we have more power than ever to make a change.

Libra is balance itself… the Moon shines her light into all our dark corners in need of rebalancing  and change… but diplomacy is necessary now, more than ever.

Do use any spiritual tools available to you, such as meditation (try the guided ones on my free app Cards of Courage) Meditating, if only for 5 minutes, will help ease worries and stresses.

Get outside first thing if you can – morning meditation can be as simple as sitting with your toes in the grass and really being aware of how that feels, the contact with the earth. I like to do this at night too if I can see the moon shining down, even better!

Perhaps do some gentle yoga (like me use the easy to follow videos out there on YouTube!) to help give you a balanced start to navigate through the day.

Through mindfulness, we can achieve inner strength and transformation.

Until next time…

Today – Full Super Blue Moon, a Lunar Eclipse AND its a Wishing Moon!

Today we will be experiencing a Full Super Blue Moon, a Lunar Eclipse AND its a Wishing Moon! (phew!) Earlier this month we experienced a supermoon on New Year’s Day. A supermoon is so called as it appears around 14% bigger and 30% brighter than usual.

In 2018, there are two Full Moons in both January and March in most time zones, which is sometimes called a double Blue Moon.

For this January 31st full moon we are blessed with multiple energies of positive influence and potential abundance.

As well as being a supermoon, we will be experiencing a lunar eclipse, when the moon passes directly behind the earth into its umbra (shadow). This occurs only when the sun, earth, and moon are aligned. It makes the moon look a reddish-orange, which is why it is often called a blood moon, and also why it was a little scary for our ancient ancestors to see it happening!

The lunar eclipse reaches its peak at 1.30pm UK time – you can find out if its visible where you are here. Sadly its not visible in western Europe – however – thanks to the interwebs  and NASA you can watch it online here live: – right now – hurrah!

The lunar eclipse is at 11 degrees Leo. The astrology centers on an extremely close alignment of the Moon and Ceres.

The moon rules women and traditional motherhood, while Ceres rules independent women most of all. So it’s no coincidence at all that we are experiencing a surge of empowering energy for womankind and a long overdue strengthened stance that will continue onward now.

The Moon represents your emotions, subconscious, habits, memories, moods, mother, maternal instincts, nurturing, home and your need for security.

Ceres (technically a dwarf planet in our solar system) rules motherly love, female reproductive issues, family bonds and relationships. As a virgin goddess, Ceres represents independent single women and sole parents.  Ancients worshipped her as a grain goddess, overseeing the growth of plants and food crops, the harvest, blessing natural resources, our home and community environment.

Any lunar eclipse focuses your awareness into your closest relationships at home and you’ll be very focused on your family, especially if there’s usually drama. A total lunar eclipse has a very strong influence on your private life.

Your emotions and instincts take over in an empowering way, giving you the opportunity to take an objective and balanced look at your close relationships.You will clearly see any imbalance and there’s no better time to hit that re-set button on whatever changes you see to be non negotiable.

The overshadowing of the Moon represents an emotional cleansing and clearing away of recent months of emotional challenges or baggage, so it’s a perfect time to cleanse your chakras – the throat (seat of communication) and heart chakras will be especially in need!

After the great cleansing opportunity, it is also a Wishing Moon!

Perfect combination of letting go, feeling freedoms previously denied, taking back your power (especially the ladies!) and fully embracing and standing in your own power to manifest and attract some great opportunities, abundance, new experiences and even setting intention that unmet members of your soul tribe will find it so much easier to truly see you for who you truly are and effortlessly seek and connect on a meaningful level. Great time to make new friends and have an open heart for more to be found in the days ahead.

How to make ALL of this unique occasion’s energy work in a potent and magical way for you:

First step is to RELEASE

If you’re not a fan of ritual and like to keep things mega simple, a Chakra Cleanse and Balance or listening to my Chakra Awareness downloadable meditation (also included on my Cards of Courage app) will work well.

If you DO fancy a bit of simple ritual – this is for you:

Best to do this on January 31st but any time in the 3 days after is fine too.

You will need:

  • Two White Candles (unused tea lights will do)
  • Sage, palo santo, jasmine incense (or your go-to smudge)
  • A piece of amethyst, citrine, clear quartz, black tourmaline, jade, bloodstone or obsidian.
  • Some loose paper to write on
  • Something to write with
  • An open fire (or somewhere to burn a sheet of paper safely)

Smudge your aura and the room. Get the sage/incense smoke into all corners. Use Reiki too if you are attuned, as you cleanse your energy and space, state your intention clearly along these lines to whatever you consider to be your higher power:

“Universe/Creator/Source/Great Spirit – Hear me. I am open to you and all that you hold for me. I actively welcome  and expect new blessings, great opportunities, abundance, new experiences and kind people into my life”

Light your candles.

Hold your crystal in the hand you don’t write with.

On your paper, begin to write about what you wish to release and banish.  Starting with the words “I release…” write about all the things that you wish to release from your life. Fears, stuff, even toxic people. Don’t limit yourself or edit yourself at all. Let it flow! If you get stuck, breathe, doodle on the paper and let your thoughts flow even if they seem random, you’ll come around to something to write.

Read your words. Are there any recurring themes? Anything that jumps out at you?

“I release (insert whatever you want to release here). I will break destructive patterns in my life. I have the strength to attract to me all I need to serve the greatest and highest good for me and those I love.”

Once you have stated your intent to release, burn the paper you wrote on, (safely in a fireproof vessel or in an open fireplace or firepit outside)

Now blow out one of your candles.

You can either go straight into a Wishing Moon ceremony (manual available to download here) or sit in quiet meditation for a few minutes as you visualise how you want your life to look in the days, weeks, months ahead. Think about what you can do to take the first steps of action, no matter how small.

If you have oracle cards draw one at random for inspiration.

Thank your guides when you feel you are done, and blow out the remaining candle.

Write in your diary or journal about the positive things you thought about manifesting, and check back over the coming year to see if you need to tweak your actions in manifesting the changes and opportunities you desire.

I for one will be drumming and journeying tonight in meditation and manifesting all good things. Enjoy this powerful time!
