What a full weekend we have ahead of us!
Listening to the stars, musing with the Moon, and trusting the Cosmic Compass to guide us, I offer the following Solstice Insights.
Friday, December 21st we begin the Solstice as the Sun moves into Capricorn. On Saturday, December 22nd, the Moon moves into Cancer creating the last Full Moon of our year. She showers us with powerful energy at 0º.
A Full Moon generates a fullness of emotion and feeling. Like it or not, we are definitely affected by the moon. We are mostly water and so, like the tides of the ocean, we ebb and flow with these same cycles.
There’s not a ‘set emotion’ for a Full Moon. Feelings are feelings and they surge forward with whatever mood or environment is present for us (internally and externally).
Friday’s Mercury Jupiter conjunction encourages you to express yourself more fully. So, tapping deeply into your feelings seems resonant even before the Full Moon enters our lives.
The ingredients for this weekend are powerful and the choices we make are long-lasting (thanks to the Capricornian activity). Being mindful and connected to our guiding values while feeling deeply seems to be a recipe for success.
Normally, I suggest intentions at the New Moon. This week, I’m suggesting an intention of being discerning, joyful, expressive, loving, and devoted to whatever and whomever is with you.
Feeling connected to your foundation (values, principles) is a natural fit for the energy. Opening your heart and being more tolerant is also a natural fit. Win Win.
If you are caught by surprise and find yourself in an uncomfortable or difficult situation, you can stop, take a breath into your belly, relax and move more fluidly from your heart. You might want to do that several times. It works…when I remember.
Some recommended activities for garnering the energy of Love presented by the stars:
- Honor your familial and cultural ancestors by remembering them and feeling gratitude for the life and traditions that flow through you.
- Honor your spiritual ancestors by acknowledging the ways their teachings have supported you in creating a solid foundation (or commit to a more generative practice).
- Listen more and speak with intention.
- Feel the energy of the Divine Father/Mother and how you are an expression of their love.
- Write a love letter to yourself.
- Give yourself permission to let go of any situations that really just don’t work anymore (this includes negative self-talk as well as relationships, etc).
- Celebrate the Return of the Light even in the darkness noting that our shadows are just as important as our radiance.
- Engage in heartful connections with those you love including your Inner Child (who loves Jupiter in Sagittarius).
However it is you experience this weekend, know that I am sending you lots of light, love, and laughter while also honoring the depth of your experiences (which I am honored you share with me).
