Happy FULL MOON, babes!
Welcome to our first Lunar Eclipse of the calendar year. Not only is this a powerful way to begin 2025, it is also important to note that an intense time of endings is bringing the astrological year to a close as well.
Full Moons are a time of closure. They are a time of death, in order to make room for rebirth. They are portals of transformation, a time to cleanse what is no longer serving. Eclipses add more intensity to these times. Lunar eclipses give us even more opportunities to release what is no longer serving. Lean into this powerful time of letting go, and continue evaluating - what is still serving me?
The sun is currently in dreamy Pisces, with the moon in forgiving Virgo. These sister signs align with each other to bring about healing energy - energy to look inward and to be present with our emotions.
Virgo, a grounded earthy sign, is all about healing and forgiveness. The sign of the goddess, she can at times be too hard on herself, wanting perfection in every way which can lead to feelings of imbalance and stagnant energy.
Forgiveness can be one of the most difficult forms of release. Is there something that you are holding onto from yourself, that you need to forgive, to let go? Are you needing to forgive someone in order to move on? Forgiveness brings us clarity back into our lives. Coat yourself in compassion as you think about anything you are holding onto, whether it be from yourself or others, that needs to be forgiven and let go. We see more clearly when we let go of resentment and anger. Even if we don’t think we are actively hanging onto these emotions, if they are present in our bodies, they are holding us ack from seeing clearly. Release the weight and enjoy the lightheartedness that comes from forgiveness.
Full Moons always bring us opportunity for shadow work. Utilize the powerful cleansing energy from this lunar eclipse and embrace your shadow. Our shadow side is a part of what makes us special and unique. If we were to ignore our shadow and only embrace our light, we wouldn’t be getting the full depth of ourselves - or our light.
Pisces is a dreamy, emotional water sign. This sign is all about love and hope, intuition and flow. Is there anything that we don’t face, but blame it on the poetic chaos of certain situations? Look at your shadow with this side. What is paired in the darkness when you envelope in this dream state?
Virgo is a structured sign all about order, healing, and perfectionism. Is there anything with your shadow side that speaks to this? Do you allow perfectionism to get into the way of trying new things? Do you allow space for error? While some of these Virgo qualities can lead you into being your best self, take care to not get stuck in them as well.
Lean into this period of release. Write letters and burn them. Dream with Pisces energy and show yourself healing compassion from Virgo. Use the cleansing energy of this powerful time to release and let go, baby.
The astrological year is coming to a close. Do not bring anything into the new year that does not serve you. Spring is coming. The time of winter, of rest, of hibernation and pause, is coming to an end. Fresh, budding energy is upon us. Forgive parts of your shadow so that you aren’t weighed down by it as the sun shines brighter and brighter.
ALIGNED ACTION
Go outside and find your shadow. Depending on the weather, this might take a few days. Or, create your shadow in your house with candles and lighting. Welcome your shadow side. Think about how you feel about your darkness - the parts that make your light shine even brighter. Dance with your shadow. Move and watch him/her move with you. Write a letter to your shadow side. Tell them you know them - that you know what sides are there, what parts of you live in your shadow. Notice the darkness and why the darkness is there. Encourage yourself to love that side of you. Embrace all sides of you. Shower yourself in love and compassion as you recognize your shadow.
