The full moon is a time for spiritual release. What you worked on manifesting during the last new moon is now coming full circle and propelling you forward. Energy is releasing and we’re starting a new cycle. Sometimes the things you were looking to manifest didn’t work out the way that you thought they would. Sometimes something else manifested in your life, and that’s ok. Sometimes the universe has different plans for you, and sometimes to fully appreciate what you were trying to manifest you need to grow in other areas of your life. In these cases, the universe slows you down and makes you pay attention to what you need to nurture. If what you were trying to manifest hasn’t come full circle, pay attention to where spirit has led you. Ask yourself what lessons were brought up in this last moon cycle.
This full moon is a particularly powerful full moon because it is the last full moon of the summer season. Summer is an active period, full of movement and energy. It’s the season of illumination and the physical growth of our earth. The shifts we went through from the summer solstice until now are important to note during this full moon. Not only are you releasing the last new moon, but you’re releasing the energy of the summer season as you shift into autumn. What is different about your energy or the energy in your life starting from the summer solstice to now? Are you planning on letting go of the old energy that you started this season with? And accepting the new energy that comes with autumn? What does your shift into the autumn season look like?
As we pass into autumn it’s important to remember that we’re going into a dynamic transitional season. This is the transformative space between illumination and introspective growth, the liminal space between the active and reflective parts of our year. Like the waxing or waning moon, fall and spring help usher in spiritual adjustment. If you can, take the time to nurture yourself during this time of year, it’s full of sacred development. Ask yourself what does it mean to be in a transit that is so powerful. How are you celebrating this time? Are you giving thanks to the past season? Or are you releasing it and focusing on the new season to come? How does the moon play in all of this?
Reflect on your movement from the solstice until now. This week is a big week of change, and celebration, and release. Embrace your path and your progress.
