October was Winterfylleth, or the “winter full moon,”
because, according to Bede
winter was said to begin on the first full moon in October.
Every full moon illuminates what was previously unseen
In Aries – fire sign of the self, Tadaa! here I am! New shoot emerging above ground full of life growing power but vulnerable in its newness. It highlights what we are really feeling and what we are really longing for?what is calling me to get started?
As the sign of new creation cycle and action – what action do I need to take to complete / tidy up and wrap up this growing season.
Here in Libra season, Air sign of the Scales, it’s temperered, there’s greater contemplation, seeing all sides and weighing the pros and cons. Www.ebi – what went well, even better if…..
Time to harvest & store all the lessons from this growing season in order to prepare & be ready for the coming winter introspection? What lessons have can I take from this year to nourish the ground for what is to come.
As the Aries full moon brightens our night skies, and ramps up the energy on the planet, it fuels our passions, strengthens our courage, and re-ignits our faith. It’s fiery energy helps us to integrate, ram through any limited thoughts and fears, and inspires us to take action and get things done.
This may be the reason why you are not sleeping well, feeling more excited, anxious and jittery, and generally feeling surges of energy for the next few days, both positive and negative.
Aries full moon is bringing the focus back to ourselves, and re-igniting our convictions and beliefs.
With the support of the cosmos we are getting the boost we need to find the courage to stand in our power, speak our truth, and take the risks we need to live life the way we want too.
We are also being urged to stop hiding behind our own limiting beliefs and thought forms, and trust that we can change our reality, and live our dreams, even when the obstacles seem stacked against us.
This Aries full moon also inspires us to find the courage to face our own inner demons.
We are all going through this internal process, and knowing who you are, and what you believe in will help you stay centred and harmonious, regardless of what people around you are doing.
The Aries full moon strengthens our sense of personal sovereignty, and forces us to face what real freedom means to us. If we are not in alignment with ourselves we will feel this disconnect, and lack of freedom, more strongly over this moon.
When we are in harmony with who we really are, we feel a sense of empowerment that we will never find from external sources. For many of us being compliant is no longer an option, and this Aries full moon is illuminating where we can no longer suppress our truth, urging us to take a leap into the unknown and take action.
Only when we follow the calling of our hearts and take the first courageous steps towards creating our dreams can we really begin to change our world and the world around us… and this Aries full moon is the perfect moon to take that courageous leap of faith.
Make sure you find some time for you this week.
When you have completed all your tasks for the day and you are ready to give the time to yourself find a peaceful space where you can just be. Light some candles and burn incense to create a calming environment.
Sit in a comfortable position with your back straight, or lying down, whatever feels most comfortable. Close your eyes and become aware of your body. Connect deeply and slowly relax your body from the top of your head, face, neck, arms, torso, thighs, legs and feet.
As you exhale release all your stresses and frustrations, just breathe them right out of your body. Repeat this process three times, or until you feel relaxed and peaceful. You can put on some music to help you with the journey.
Now imagine yourself in a sacred place in nature, where you can be fully yourself, and in your power. It can be a place you know, a place from your childhood, or a place you have imagined.
Once you are there ask yourself what you need, in order to shine brighter, finding the courage to ram through any fear that is holding you back. Don’t force the answer, instead let it come bubbling up from within. Let the silence work its magic and soon you will be able to hear the whispers of your heart.
Now imagine these blockages as layers of an onion that are surrounding you, like an old worn-out skin. See yourself consciously peeling off each layer, becoming aware of its colour, shape, smell, and taste, and destroying them in some way (in a fire, burying it, smashing it, in a river/ocean/waterfall, throwing it into space etc).
Once you have removed all the onion layers, imagine a golden flame at your solar plexus chakra glowing brighter and brighter and flowing around your body, until you become golden light. With the blockages no longer holding you back, open your heart and imagine yourself manifesting all your dreams and intentions.
It’s time to ram through the fear and this exercise helps us to do this energetically, making it easier for us to take action in our three-dimensional reality.
Love and Blessings
