Full Moon + Energy Update
Apr 23, 2024Happy Full Moon astro beauties ๐ซ๐ซ!
We are post eclipse season๐๐๐, and yet, the theme is still change, change, change as we are seeing with multiple astrological projections at play. Jupiter, has been in the sign of Aries for almost a year and is now shifting into Taurus come May. When big planets like Saturn and Jupiter shift, we usually feel the effect a bit more. Jupiter represents our connection to abundance โจ, spiritual wisdom, mentors and expansion ๐. It currently is transiting the star sign of Kritika, which symbolizes cutting loose ends and bringing a great transformation into our lives. On the other side of this, there is potential for new opportunities to come forward for career and relationships.
With a similar theme, this full moon in Libra lands in Swati nakshatra which is symbolized by a young tree blowing in the wind. This tree has roots to keep it secure, yet, it feels moveable from the ever changing direction of the wind ๐ด. You may similarly be feeling like you are being pulled in a new direction that questions your very foundation. Yet, when you resist the change, you will experience more suffering. Rather, when you root into what is bringing you true stability right now and allow changes to unfold, you can experience more liberation than ever before โ๏ธ.
From what I have observed in my own life and my clients', we are all in some phase of the transformation process ๐ฆ. The first part is the painful awareness of what needs to be let go. For some us this can feel like a sudden realization that rocks our view of the world ๐ฑ. The thought of letting go of the relationship, career or experience, feels too painful to even think of. In some ways this can feel the most difficult.
The next part is actually making the changes. The itchy sweater part ๐of the transformation process. Our old skin becomes like an itchy sweater, we can no longer go on wearing it, but we don't exactly have a new sweater picked out yet. We try to find a new one and then realize its a little too tight or doesn't hug us in the right way, so we keep looking and trying again. Metaphorically, this translates to reverting back to old self sabotaging behaviors and then feeling let down when you don't experience growth ๐ซฃ. This part of the process can feel like a lot of highs and lows. You get moments of exhales thinking you've found the right sweater ๐ and are moving forward and then moments of weakness where you think the itchy one is the best you'll ever find and take two steps back ๐ฉ. After all, it wasn't all bad. Maybe you are asking for too much, being too petty, complaining, making things up... 'insert your childhood wounding here'. This part takes time and although it may seem like you are moving behind at times, you are always moving forward. There is wisdom in every moment of this process if you keep yourself aware of them.
This part of the process also needs a lot of compassion ๐. We can be especially hard on ourselves and feel ashamed for clinging to our old identities. But alas, we are all human. Growth is not linear. Give yourself self love and celebrate the little wins. AND love yourself enough to also hold yourself accountable and be sure you are moving forward โ๐ผ.
The last phase of the process is the surrender. There comes a time when you realize the vision of what you have been working towards, the thing that has been keeping you optimistic and on track to make changes, has to be let go ๐๐ป. Initially, there is an ego moment of, I can't lose this too! But, this is truly what surrender is. I am willing to let go of everything and trust that the universe knows exactly what I need ๐ฎ. Your initial vision of what that would look like may not be exactly what you thought, but when you let go and trust, it ends up turning into everything and more of what you could've dreamed of โ๏ธ.
Wherever you are in the transformation process, I am holding you with a whole lotta love. This is NOT easy work. Breathwork ๐ฌ and movement practices are especially helpful during this time to help with the transformation process. Journal your emotional state ๐ on a daily basis to check in on what is being released and feel a liberation. Lastly, the support of your friends/family/soul family can bring a connection and love like no other, so lean on your people during this time.
