The Wisdom Of the Full Moon
Full Moon Thursday, January 12th, 2017
Happy New Year! Mercury went direct this past week, and a Full Moon happens Thursday, January 12th; I feel excited about 2017 and all it will bring!
As I have written in many of my teachings, Full Moon Cycles are Power cycles! Whatever you have focused on these past two weeks is coming to fruition. It is time to feel the “fullness” of what you have been doing!
The Full Moon will be in the sign Cancer. This sign helps to remind us how to nurture and protect ourselves through the realm of feeling! You may find yourself “feeling” a lot in these next few days. That is awesome! This cycle is an exciting time to ask yourself what you “really need.” So….. what do you NEED??
The sign of Cancer is associated with home, family, mother, and the realm of feelings. It is a water sign and, therefore, deeply committed to the realm of movement, the energy of the feminine, and most importantly, managing and paying attention to your feelings. The endpoint of the Cancer energy is about finding a way to shed your outer protective shell of armor that may be numbing you to the world and open up to your vulnerability and intuitive senses!
Because the Full Moon creates oppositional energy between the Sun and the Moon, we must also look at the power and power of the Sun to manage this cycle.
The Sun is in Capricorn, the energy of all practical, earthy qualities that exist within life. The power of self-sufficiency, solitude, goal setting, and practical strategies will help you achieve whatever you set your mind to. Capricorn is about integrity and the highest expression of that concept. Staying “integrated” with the self and finding a way to accomplish your goals is very much the heart of Capricorn energy.
The Full Moon is about blending these two opposing energies. Healing looks like nurturing and healing yourself through the Cancer energy, but also combine with the Capricorn energy of accomplishing your goals through your most profound integrity. Working to maintain an honest assessment of how you feel with practical and highly effective strategies to achieve whatever is in front of you RIGHT NOW is the endpoint of this Full Moon.
Since some obstacle indicates all growth in life, this Full Moon cycle suggests that you look at BOTH what you need and what is within your integrity and is also highly practical.
Here are some suggestions for this Full Moon!
Be honest about your feelings with YOURSELF. PERIOD.
Set boundaries if you need to feel safe.
If you feel more vulnerable with someone and need to tell them how you feel because that will make you feel good… do it!
If you want to buy something, and you FEEL to do it, do it.
If it is not practical and you are ALWAYS being practical, go with how you feel anyway.
Or be practical. Save your money. With Integrity!!
Rest. Rejuvenate. Heal. But most of all, allow yourself to feel and then take appropriate and heartfelt action on those feelings.
My favorite quotes on feelings.
“Feelings that come back are feelings that never went away.”
“Feelings are much like waves, we can’t stop them from coming back, but we can choose which one to surf.”
My favorite quotes on integrity.
“Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.” ~CS Lewis
“Wisdom is knowing the right path to take. Integrity is taking it.”
“Integrity is the essence of everything successful.” Buckminster Fuller
I hope this was helpful and that you are having a blessed day.
With love and faith in the journey,
