The last full moon of the year occurs in the home loving realm of Cancer, which also is the sign ruled by the moon. This time we are directed to look into our emotional sensitivity and well being, our home and family, and above all what we seek to improve, change or let go of in these areas.
Before we came into our bodies, our soul made a plan, or a map, of what it wanted and needed to experience, and what type of lessons it wanted to master. We all have the memory of that plan buried deep within us and with Cancer connected to what lies below the surface, this is an excellent time to allow that map to float up to your conscious self. Growing means to be honest with your needs and wishes, to realize what no longer serves you and to act on those beliefs. With the Moon in Cancer versus the Sun in Capricorn, here are some more things that will arise for evaluation during the holiday: Seriousness, limits, career, the public, authority and responsibilities (Capricorn) and close relationships, motherhood, feelings, vulnerability, private affairs and support (Cancer). Cancer affirmation: I allow myself and others the space and grace to evolve in the best possible ways. ~ Christine K.H ~

The full moon energy that surrounds us now relates to the element of air, illuminating our thoughts and our communication. Geminis are social and very flexible characters, full of curiosity and who thrives best in a creative exchange of ideas. This lunar event is pushing each of us to ponder about how we want to be seen and heard. With the spotlight on communication, take a little time and focus on how your conscious mind communicates with your subconscious. Ask yourself:
In esoteric astrology, Geminis, or the twins, are a mythological representation of the soul and personality. The pair is linked as long as the soul is in a human incarnation. For countless cycles on Earth, the personality twin is in control and the soul twin is still, dormant and waiting. The relationship, human versus soul, slowly changes over eons of time. Then when the person begins to question the deeper meaning of its own existence, the soul begins to respond and together they evolve. So in short, Gemini guides the path of our personal development up to, and including, the realization of – I AM the soul. Gemini affirmation: I embrace all parts and pieces of myself. ~ Christine K.H ~ The November new moon could be a core-shaker, as it directs us to shift our consciousness from external relationships to more internal issues. Scorpio is about experiencing the raw juiciness of life. It fearlessly embraces the mystery of death in the circle of life, and now is the time to contemplate on your most intimate connections.
There are many mysteries in life that intrigue us and invite us to delve a little deeper. Ruled by Pluto, God of the underworld, Scorpios are obsessed with all things related to understanding the depth of our soul and what gives value to our existence. Here are some guidelines for navigating this dramatic lunar event: * Take steps towards self-mastery and self-empowerment. * Ignite your desires. * Share your gifts. * Release attachments. * Explore what lies under the surface. * Heal old wounds and to let go of power-struggles. New moons are a time to renew and start over, and what starts should roll forward naturally, or you may slip into some deep waters before you know what’s happening. The question today is: Will you keep your cool or blow the top? Scorpio affirmation: I learn - I teach - I master ~ Christine K.H ~ Lunar eclipses mark culmination points and endings that involve a hint of fate. They make us acutely aware of all the fears and perhaps even relationships that need cleansing and clearing. Illusions are likely to break and while this may feel chaotic or heart-wrenching, know that it is supporting you to move forward.
This eclipse is a busy one. Configured with Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter, there can be intense feelings where we wrestle with strong thoughts and urges. So it’s wise to sit with our revelations for a bit before taking action. When guided into the realm of Taurus, security and comfort, mainly materialistic or financial ones, will be prominent. But ruled by Venus, this is also a time to focus on everything that is beautiful. In nature and in all the living. However hard it may be. The energy now is fixed and if there are decisions or actions you have avoided, destiny steps in and forces your hand. On a personal level, consider where you are struggling with change. Know that this full moon lunar eclipse offers a window for unfiltered self-reflection. How we respond to it, well that's up to us. Taurus affirmation: I am a natural oasis of calm. ~ Christine K.H ~ Eclipse season is here again to speed up timelines and deliver swift changes!
The New moon at 21 Libra is only 3 degrees from the South Node at 24 Libra, making this an intense and strong eclipse. Even though new moons normally are indicating beginnings and planting seeds, as the eclipse is on the South Node it will bring themes of ending, release and letting go. We are in the realm of partnerships, so old habits and patterns, especially in close relationships or around compromising to please others, might need to change or end. We are witnessing division and polarity; religiously, politically and perhaps most and foremost socially. The secret of Libra is about practicing listening as well as speaking, to slow down, check in and think before we act. A key to solution is to understand and find a common ground with your opposition and to let that be your point of growth. This lunar event reminds us to be grateful and to appreciate the beauty around us. It's a time to align the masculine and feminine qualities and, in one aspect, to put high ideals into practice but to do so with a clear-level-headed and logical approach. Eclipses don’t mess around. Think of them as your cosmic drivers who intervene to ensure that you’re on the path to what’s in your best and highest interest. Libra affirmation: I bring people together. ~ Christine K.H ~ Full moons come with magic and mystery, making us ready to reveal what we normally keep hidden by shining light on our entire world and everyone within it. They also show us places within ourselves we need to shift, and places we need to embrace in order to manifest the life of our dreams.
The Aries full moon brings out the warrior energy in us and two potential outcomes could occur; Being too caught up by anger and drama OR a willingness to open those powerful portals of higher wisdom and compassion. It takes strength and courage to heal, so ask yourself: What do I need to release to make space for my purpose and healing? Here are some other topics to journal and think about: * Freedom & In(co)dependence * Creativity & Inspiration * Control issues vs Trust * Individuality vs Teamwork Living in the past is no longer an option, living in the shadows is no longer an option. If you’ve been sticking around in a bad situation, you might want to cut your losses and move on. This full moon urges us to cut ties with the old to make room for the new, asking one question only: What becomes possible now? Aries affirmation: I can start over whenever I choose to. ~ Christine K.H ~ During a new moon, the sky is dark, symbolizing two things. One is the unknown of what’s to come and to be okay during a period of darkness and uncertainty. This darkness also symbolizes the need to go within and to remove ourselves from the stimulus of the bright outside world. The sign simply shows how we meet this, and with down-to-earth Virgo we will see things for what they truly are.
The Virgo energy is practical, organized and patient. Leading up to this new moon, Mercury, the ruler of Virgo has been in retrograde motion - and in Virgo. So you might feel disorganized or already be in a recoup and rebuild state of mind. Reflection truly is called for now and you should ask deep questions before making choices to make sure you are fully aligned with what you are choosing. Our minds will linger around work and practical matters, exercise and health as well as order and processes in general. At her highest vibration Virgo is the 'Beacon of Healing'. Teaching us that wellness is multidimensional, that everything is interconnected and that energy always manifests on different levels. Virgo affirmation: I embody pure health. ~ Christine K.H ~ Full moons are times of release, conclusion, and closure. Since Pisces is the last sign of the Zodiac, the feeling of closure and culmination is even stronger.
Each full moon is a signal to find a balance between two complementary polarities. With the spotlight on the Virgo-Pisces axis, the axis of service, healing, devotion, and mindfulness, we need to find order in chaos and balance structure and flow. While Virgo is about honoring our human self, Pisces corresponds to the drum to transcend and connect with something beyond our separate selves. When the moon travels through Pisces we become more connected to our intuition and creative gifts. So, prepare for breakthroughs and progress in that area, take a pause in order to receive what the universe has in store for you. The tides truly are all over the place, and the gravitational pressure on our planet is palpable. Preparation and knowing what to do with all that energy is the key. A good idea is to account for an extra hour or so of sleep if possible. Sleep lets you build up the strength and energy you need to face the next day of emotional exchange. Pisces affirmation: I move in the direction of my dreams. ~ Christine K.H ~ A lunation in Leo is always a time to shine authentically, and combined with a new moon, it's about planting the seeds to become the brightest version of yourself. Basically, today's new moon gives you permission to be selfish but in Leo style, meaning you do so in a heartfelt way.
The Leo moonlight also signals a time to set intentions around leadership and confidence in your own life. So some good questions to ask yourself would be: Where in my life do I need to step into more of a leadership role? What inhibits my confidence? Where do I need to boost my confidence in order to manifest my goals? This new moon can set you off on a deeply personal journey of self-discovery and transformation. It offers a full connection with your heart's desires and to reset your goals for them to match the new beginning you so deeply seek. Gratitude is a state of wealth, and Leos are here to make us recognize the good things in life. Leo affirmation: I invite magic by wishing upon a star - I become it by standing in my own light. ~ Christine K.H ~ |
