Full Moon in Cancer

​You and Your feelings matter! Your feelings are after all, information that helps you determine what matters to you, what you want to feel, and what you don’t! 
Because of that they should matter to you, more than anyone else, or anything else. 


You are the person who is most in tune with your feelings. Your feelings help you to understand you, and what you are experiencing in your place in the world. 
My boyfriend once said, that feelings are our 6th sense. Just like smell, taste, sight, touch, and hearing- it is a divine sense that helps us connect with, make sense of, and understand the world around and within us.  In considering this, how do you treat your feelings? Do you: try to understand, hold space and honor them, reflecting and responding, making time for them to flow in healthy, and loving ways. Or do you: react, minimize, project, criticize or push them away? 

Be honest with how you treat all parts of yourself, and especially the parts of yourself you like least or are scared of- Know that you can choose to be curious and loving in all ways, always. Know you can hold space for and shift whatever shows up, or comes your way. Know too that not all of what you sense or feel- is yours. As psychic and energetic beings, sometimes what you pick up and feel, is actually coming from the world outside of you, or before you. Know too that you are also a powerful being and co-creator, and YOU get to choose what sticks, continues on, and what is not welcomed and must go away. 

Though you may have not been taught or given everything you needed growing up- you now have the power, space, time and control to prioritize, protect and choose the people, places, thoughts, things and actions that do! Love yourself enough to let go of anything that gets in the way of that. You deserved it. And you deserve it. Always. 

If you are already doing this, be sure to celebrate yourself and your progress today! Shine your light- full on- with fun and joy! 
​You have come so far, created, released and transmuted so much. Rejoice and enjoy the fruits of your labor! You deserve it! 

Other astrological Alignments:

​With Mercury retrograde and Mars retrograde also occurring during this time, take time to pause and go inward. Things may not go according to plan, but that’s part of the mystery and the fun. Sometimes what we think we want isn’t what we truly need. And sometimes, some things don’t follow or happen the way we think they should. Instead of fighting it, accept it, learn from it, then focus on what you can control and do in this present moment. This is the way of mercury and mars. Both create scenarios in which you take a sit down and realize that rejection is often redirection, and that we are small moving parts, in an even bigger ride. We get to choose how we respond, react and see things. Trust that there is a loving and nurturing universe who protects you and moves you, and aspires to give you what our souls came here for- through you. 

Finally, Mars retrograde also emphasizes to us that before we dive into doing- it’s important we understand why and where our desire to act is coming from. Is it from societal or past expectations, lack, pressure, force, flow, trust, love? In connecting with this now, you can make sure that you use your energy to the fullest and in the highest alignment with your soul and heart, now and in the rest of the year to come. 

Things to Consider, Realize, and Integrate 

​If you are feeling lots of things, and feels. Do what makes you feel good, and relaxed! 

Check in to make sure what you do is in alignment with who you are and how you want to show up. 

Know that as connected beings- what you radiate and choose will affect you (so choose wisely) as you are a part of what makes this world what it is in the present moment! Darkness and light can both be channeled powerfully and effectively- know when to use which one. 

Know too that the energy behind what people do, think, say- matter. 

Someone can do a good thing, from a feeling of lack, fear, or shame. This energy spreads and shows in what they do; give, share. Know that not all that glitters is gold, that the road to hell is often paved with good intentions, and that not everything that is bad/hidden/scary is actually bad. 

As sensitive energetic beings- we can feel things beyond what our physical body sees, hears, or tastes! Trust yourself and find your truth. Discover what you know and feel to be true- within and without.  Explore this space and your extra sensory abilities- be brave enough to listen to them and create space for them to grow, be and show up in this world. 

​Allow yourself to change your mind, feelings, thoughts, choices as many times as you like. Choose to create more of what makes you feel your most authentic, your brightest and your best. Embrace your complexity, your depths, your nuances- like the ocean- you can be dark, light, shallow, deep- know that there is a time and a place for everything. In realizing you are nothing and everything at once- The true art is knowing when to show up,  do, create, let go, and be each of all of these pieces. 

Know too that your timing is divine timing. There is no need to rush, force, or shame yourself. It doesn’t help or make things better. Instead, choose to support yourself, be kind, enjoy the process! Let go, honor yourself and have fun - in all ways, always. 

Animal Spirit Guides to Channel in this Next Cycle:

Speak more of and focus your attention on what you want more of! Let your mind rest and your heart and body lead! What you have learned and may think, may not always be true. Allow yourself to remain open, speak intentionally, ask for help, and be curious. Adapt and adjust as needed along the way. And finally, allow yourself to be fully and lovingly, here, now! The present is the most powerful place to be- it is where you heal your past, and create your future. So be, here, NOW!

A Meditative Reading:

Our feelings are a sacred memory. Like rings on a tree, they capture and radiate moments in time. 
Follow them to see what feelings you want to call in more of and which ones you don’t. 

First: consider what feelings you hold dear and close, and stand out to you in time as full, joyful, and expansive! 
Think about where you were when you felt them:
What was happening? 
Who or what was around you? 
Fully feel and let this energy flow into you now. 
Embrace it and let it surround and wash over you and swirl all around and within you now. 
Hold this information and knowing close, allow yourself to take action towards integrating and choosing what nurtures and creates more of these sweet, connected and joyful feelings in your life. 

Now consider the feelings you don’t want to feel.
What circumstances, people, places environment have brought this out into you? 
What part or role were you being or playing out?
What did you learn about them, yourself, the world?
Now allow yourself to breathe in deep, take the wisdom, and breathe out to release the pain. You no longer need to feel or carry this within your mind, space, body, and can move forward with grace, ease and love. 

In this sacred time and space, built from love and grace, allow yourself to let go and no longer allow feelings like this into your life.  
Your energy, time and focus are too sacred to be spent on creating and repeating and replaying and grasping at things people and places that don’t make you feel good- or like the best you! 

Allow yourself to lovingly and pleasurably release anything that makes you feel small, unbalanced, scared into the fire. Allow it to be transmuted, burned, cleansed and alchemized into new and free energy for you to use and build anew with!

Finally, with Cancer represented by the moon, own your darkness. Shine a light on them and give them love and grace to be seen. Be bold, accountable and honest about what has served you and what hasn’t. And remember that even in your darkness and darkest moments- you are and have always been holy and whole. That even when you do nothing- you shine. Know that nothing and nobody can ever take that way from you. Define yourself by how you are now, who you choose to be and what you are striving towards, vs being and measuring yourself by stuck moments in the past, the worst of yourself, and memories  that were created out of pain, lack, or misunderstanding. Know that this is a much better and more supportive use of your time, awareness and energy. 

​With that- may this moon reminds you to flow, let go and move forward. 
Focus on what makes you feel empowered, loved and connected. 
All of us as humans, feel the same feelings. We all make mistakes, and can cause pain just as we can healing and grace. In realizing we all were taught and learned to act on and honor them differently, know we can learn and do better, indivuallt and together. 
We ultimately, are sovereign beings that get to choose how we show up, what we share, how we share it and what we create - the work w do in realizing this is what is most important and speaks volumes about who you really are. 

So tonight, may the moon show you that just like the ocean it is okay to be rough and choppy or calm and sparkling! 
You are always still the amazing you, you always have been, always will, always are- so honor your seasons, your cycles, your phases, your light, your night, no matter where you are. 

​And finally, in being brave enough to explore your inner dimensions, the past, spaces and memories, you will realize that they hold the answers for what you seek and try to find or control or create in this present moment. 

​May this time remind us we’re all part of a greater whole
And that what we heal in ourselves, we heal in all people 
And what we are most responsible for- first and foremost is ourselves. 
​

​With love and grace,
