The moon sits in alignment between the Earth and the Sun during the New Moon. The side of the moon that receives the light from the sun faces away from us, and so the moon is not visible to us during this phase of the moon cycle. The New Moon is the beginning of the lunar cycle and offers us the energetic gift of initiating the new. So, the ideas and intentions that are set during the new moon will germinate and take root so that they can bloom at the full moon in two week’s time.
The Sun, Earth and Moon are again aligned during the Full Moon, however the Earth now lies between the Sun, and moon. The side of the moon that receives the light from the sun faces us and so the the moon is fully visible. The Full Moon represents manifestation and completion and offers us the energy of fulfillment, manifestation, and connection. So, those ideas and intentions that were planted during the new moon two weeks ago can now blossom or be harvested.
Today’s Moon Phase
Moon Cycle
Full Moon Meditation – Pisces
This month we celebrate the sun in the sign of Pisces and the moon in its opposite sign of Virgo. There are 5 planets in Pisces at the time of this full moon so we are flooded with this dreamy, mystical energy. Pisces is a water sign so we know that our emotional bodies will be highly sensitive this month. One of the most significant aspects of this full moon has to do with the planets Neptune and Saturn. Virgo is in opposition to Neptune and is trine to Saturn. What this asks of us is to access our unlimited imagination (Jupiter) and create the structure, (Saturn) to bring it into manifestation. Some good descriptive words for Pisces are: the dreamer, the mystic, the idealist, the martyr, the victim, the lost soul. At its highest expression Pisces can be a visionary, seeing the oneness in all things, and dreaming of how she can serve. But the lower octave of this energy can give her all in an attempt to save the world and thus martyr herself or begin to feel victimized by her sacrifices.
Full Moon Meditation – Paving the Way to a New Future
The mantram for Aquarius is “Water of life am I, poured forth for thirsty humanity.” Last month we climbed the mountain of Capricorn. We metaphorically let the energy of our spiritual aspiration carry us to the mountaintop where we were bathed in the light of transformation. Now, in Aquarius we are asked to descend from the mountain and pour forth the waters of light and life into the world, to share our gifts, to distribute and radiate our light.
Full Moon in Capricorn
The Sun is in Capricorn and the Moon is in Cancer. These two signs have a lot to offer one another. When they are blended and expressed at their highest levels they demonstrate the marriage of the Divine Masculine and Feminine energies, sometimes called the “marriage in the heavens.” Capricorn represents the Father principle and Cancer the Mother principle. This marriage must eventually take place within all of us. This particular full moon has some positive aspects that might help us maintain a more balanced emotional life, but change is in the air, dear ones. Uranus is active again with its energy of reformation.
Full Moon Meditation ~ Sagittarius: Expansion
Sagittarius is an expansive sign. It wants to raise our consciousness to its highest levels. It wants to help us envision the highest that is within us, to see our world at its most elevated. This meditation with the fiery energy of Sagittarius can be used to dedicate ourselves to compassionate action.
Scorpio New Moon – The Warrior, Expansion, Death and Rebirth
This is the path of the evolved Warrior. The mantram for Scorpio is, “Warrior am I and from the battle I emerge triumphant.” We are asked to do battle with our lower selves, our ego, the unredeemed parts of ourselves that usually hang out in the underworld. Once these unfinished parts of ourselves are recognized, accepted and held in the cauldron of a loving heart, transformation occurs. And this is the Scorpio journey. We are tested, we have trials, but we emerge triumphant.
