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 ~ Aquarius represents 'The Higher Mind' and this full moon brings an energy of illumination, helping us to see a bigger truth and to expand our way of thinking. In many ways our minds have been paralyzed, stirred up by the media to a boiling point where man simply gives in. This full moon asks you to clear the way. It asks you to shake up your beliefs, your ideas, your circumstances, so that you can see what needs to remain.
In the theater of life, Aquarius energy manifests as a distinctive lens, enabling us to perceive our reality from a rational, logical standpoint. Under this cosmic lumination, try to let things shake and fall where they may, rather than trying to control them. With focus and collaboration, you and your tribe have power greater than your numbers. You can achieve whatever you set your collective mind to—so dream big and think differently. Aquarius affirmation: I change my reality by changing my mind. ~ Christine K.H ~ The new moon calls for self-reflection and caring for your inner self, but particularly when it occurs in Cancer, you could find it emotionally satisfying — or even necessary — to retreat into your shell and get in tune with your needs, wellness and vitality.
Needs and wants when it comes to comfort and security could rush to the surface, in addition to how we care for ourselves and others. Emotions may swell up from deep inner levels, breaking through the surface of an otherwise calm sea. We can become deeply nostalgic, or feel a profound longing, especially if our lives are not currently providing the kind of nurturing and support we need to thrive. Under the energies of this lunar event, think about how you can embrace this idea of feeling at home within yourself. Feeling at home is really about acceptance. It is about embracing that this is where you need to be, even though you may feel challenged, fearful or at odds with what lies before you. Shifting the energy of your home or immediate surroundings takes time and commitment. Remember, it’s better to make a series of tiny changes than attempt to do a major overhaul all in a day or two. Cancer affirmation: Home is where my heart is at. ~ Christine K.H ~ While full moons typically bring similar energies – change, emotional turbulence, strange feelings – each full moon actually possesses different qualities that affect us in different ways. When the moon is full in Capricorn, it sits opposite the sun in Cancer in the sky. The Cancer-Capricorn axis is concerned with security, both materially and emotionally, asking us to reflect on our work-life balance.
Now, Capricorn is a worldly sign so this lunar event is about our ambitions, management, structure, discipline, and responsibilities. It is pragmatic, realistic, conservative and determined, taking steps slowly but surely toward masterful achievement. The July full moon is therefore a perfect time for solidifying any plans you have been pondering about recently, helping you to regulate your emotions from a place of maturity and acceptance. Capricorn is a sign that means business. Instead of being concerned with short-term satisfaction, you’ll now be more inclined to dig in and focus on your long-term goals. Capricorn affirmation: I reach new heights through achievement and recognition. ~ Christine K.H ~ When Gemini holds the new moon, excitement is in the air, giving us the energy to try new things, see new people, and experience the world through a different lens. This lunar event wants us to plant the seed of a thought or an idea, and she is perfectly fine with not knowing how these plans will unfold.
Geminis feel restless with plans that are too concrete, so allow yourself room to explore whatever takes form. This energy can make us think, and in that thinking, we avoid feeling. Gemini can trick us into using our minds to avoid our emotions. It can also overly emphasize logical answers in our lives, distracting us from our intuition. We cannot control everything. We cannot prepare for every eventuality or detour along the way. So ask yourself; How do I travel through life? Do I resist, overthink it, or do I allow life its ebb and flow? The moon in Gemini travels with ease, manifesting herself by a need for change and spontaneity and that is her gift. Gemini affirmation: I allow myself to be surprised. ~ Christine K.H ~ The lunar event this weekend occurs in the fun and highly optimistic sign of Sagittarius, where adventure and inspiration are key elements.
When our moon travels through this fiery realm, we feel inspired to pursue the expansion of our consciousness through a variety of experiences, and we seek direct ways to discover more about ourselves and life. The full moon here indicates a need to make sense of what happens to, and around us, combined with an inclination to share our knowledge with others. Sagittarius is symbolized as the philosopher and carries the energy of intellectual exploration and openness. It invites us to explore how we can grow together during these unstable times. As we continue to be tested, both personally and collectively, this moon offers new perspectives to light up the way towards change and healing. Healing now comes through laughter and inspiration and the ability to see the good in all situations. Sagittarius affirmation: I define my truth and find my fun. ~ Christine K.H ~ After two eclipses, which probably had you itching to force ahead on your springtime plans, this month's new moon will hit the brakes. This is a time to pause and ground yourself, to see the world and everything in it for what is really going on, but also to embrace the beauty of nature and life in general.
The zodiac bull is a cautious creature, slow, and strong by design. It rules the realms of work and money, security, as well as self-worth and possessions. This energy asks us to fix our focus on tangible goals and to be pragmatic about the way we go about reaching them. Through Taurus, we learn to receive what the Universe provides us, we learn to hold and cultivate abundance and we learn to generate new resources by wisely harnessing the ones we have. Ruled by Venus, we also come face to face with core values. So, take a moment to reflect whether your life choices are aligned with yours. If not, establish adjustments needed. Taurus affirmation: I receive, build, magnetize and materialize. ~ Christine K.H ~ |
