12.12.12 Portal & Gemini Full Moon

RELEASE & RISE UP! Enter the 12-12-12-12-12 Portal!

The Gemini Full Moon is exact on the 12th day of the 12th month in a 12 year (2+0+1+9=12) at 12:12am ET!

This Full Moon illuminates both shadow and light and calls for us to integrate them both with the 12.12.12.12.12 Light Codes coming forth. 12 is a number of Sacred Completion and Wholeness, Reincarnation and Higher Consciousness. These incoming Diamond Light Codes are for the greatest embodiment of your soul self and our shared mission as a Family of Light to bridge Heaven and Earth to Birth our Golden Age. Allow the Light Codes of the Celestial Heavens to bless your body, mind, and soul.

Trust and Surrender are key. This is simultaneously a descent into your innermost chambers to release the past and a rise in celebration for all the blessings and lessons of the past year, and entire decade. This paradox is a Gemini moon code revealing opportunities for multi-faceted communication cosmically, internally, relationally, emotionally and spiritually that can offer personal transformation and healing in our collective consciousness.

At the time of the Full Moon, the Asteroid Vesta (brightest asteroid seen from Earth) is conjunct The Great Attractor. Vesta is represented as the Divine Feminine and High Priestess within us, connected to the Feminine Silver Ray of Creation. The Great Attractor (or TGA) is at the heart of the Laniakea Super Cluster that pulls our Milky Way Galaxy (and thousands more) toward her, while also pushing others away. This cosmic alignment supports us to release old and distorted consciousness patterns and rise into higher octave of relationship with Self all of Creation.

This moon is also connected to the Ancient Dragon Mother Tiamat, of the Rose and Grail Lineages. Allow her primordial energies to support the Remembrance of your Origin Code and life purpose at this time.

This is a powerful time for expressing, amending, releasing or forgiving through communication. This may be with yourself or others from the past (including your ancestors). In this dualistic medicine of Gemini, it is also the time for us to gather and rise in the power of our sovereignty and communicate our gratitude, compassion, and empathy for other, along with our sacred desires through prayer, song, dance, words, and actions. In this 12.12.12.12.12. portal, when we direct the power of our mind's intentions through the lens of the heart by giving thanks we activate healing and transformation within and all around us, birthing into being the world we want to live in.

 This full moon is also known as the Shaman’s Moon.

Shaman's Moon Attributes:

• Tarot: Death

• Herbs: Grains of Paradise, Verbena, Borage, Blessed Thistle

• Colors: Orange, Red, Sea-Green

• Stones: Topaz, Hyacinth, Lapis Lazuli, Rose Quartz

• Medicine: Honoring our ancestors; Releasing the past; Transformation; Karmic Completion for Ascension; Gratitude; Reflection; Shadow + Light Work

Gemini Ritual Suggestions

• Share: Write a letter, make a phone call or speak with a person you need to communicate with for any completions. Express your truth with heart and sincerity.

• Burn it: Write a list of the thoughts that are happening inside your head that you are ready to shift. Beliefs, stories, habits, all that you wish to leave behind while we are in the Dark time of the year, illuminated by the full moon. What are you letting go of? Free it up. Give it voice. Let it out. Let it go and burn it (safely) with a candle or campfire or fireplace. Then proceed to ritual below.

• Stand in your Illuminated Vision: Let your visions come to life! Go deeper from the above ritual. With the space created from what you released, it's now time to get creative with making a 'vision board' of your medium (whether visually with a painting or drawings or dance or write in your journal) and express your truth, dreams and visions, and all that you wish to be amplified for yourself and for the planet. Place this out into the moonlight/speak it/sing it during the full moon window.

• Gemstone Reminder: Put out your gemstones and jewels in a window or in water for cleansing, renewal, and activation.

• Apple of Wisdom: Place an apple and glass of water in the moonlight and have it for a 'Moon Wisdom' breakfast the next morning.

• Commune: Gather in an intentional way with loved ones and do any of the above together and create your own. Now can be a powerful time to be with the energy of the collective.

Full Moon rituals can be done the day before, of and after the actual full moon. This is the 3 day potency period. Blessings to you in this wondrous and magical time. 

Love, Achintya

Taurus Full Moon

On November 12th at 5:34 am PT, the full moon is exact.

This Taurus moon (ruled by Venus) activates our earthy, sensual nature. It is time to delight in and take exquisite care of our bodies and the body of Mother Earth. There is a powerful portal open for prayer, forgiveness, celebration, self-love, sensuality, earthy eroticism and grounded bliss.


With the sun in Scorpio, this full moon shines on our deepest feelings and sacred desires related to our emotional depth, pleasure, connection, and freedom. It can bring up where you limit these essential parts of your life so you can release them and make new choices for your life that support your Sovereignty and Empowerment. You may feel an urge to sing and dance in both release and rejoice. To make love or to sob. Whatever is your truth, express your feelings with your body. When you allow this to flow through you, you activate healing and transformation within and all around you and our greater collective.

• Make Love: How do you make Love to Life? Get creative. Create an earthy and sensual experience for yourself to delight into your Holy Body Temple.

• Remember: Put out your gemstones and jewels in a window for cleansing, renewal, and activation. Place an apple and glass of water in the moonlight and have it for a 'Moon Wisdom' breakfast the next morning.

Aries Full Moon

The Aries Hunter's Moon is exact on Sunday, October 13th at 2:08pm PDT

This bright moon is called Hunter's Moon because it made it easy for hunters to see prey in preparation for the winter ahead. It is shaking our foundation loose of any falsity in our lives to return again to our center, to our true power and strength. 

We are experiencing a time on Earth where there is an acceleration of simultaneous Beauty, Grace, Upheaval and Conflict in both our inner and outer worlds. And. All this is here to serve the Great Design of why you/we are here, Now. For you to come into the full embodiment of Truth, Wisdom, Power and Love. To unite your soul and body. For us collectively to unite Heaven and Earth.

With this Full Moon in Aries (ruled by Mars) and conjunct Eris (Goddess of needed upheaval & twin of Aries) it is time to light up your Warrioress Within. This is a Moon to BOTH complete (full moon) & burn away anything holding you back AND begin needed change (Aries is the 1st Zodiac sign of initiation)! It is time to merge the I of Aries with the WE of Libra Sun. To commune and celebrate. To spark inspiration and (r)evolutionize your life.

This is a moon to release anger, rage, frustration or fear in healthy ways, to avoid continued internal tension and external aggression. Wield the Power of Fire wisely and it will support you fiercely.

This Aries Moon Medicine also ignites external action as the (R)Evolutionary and Warrioress you! Contribute your voice, energy, art, money (any form of creative action) to participate in the change you wish Be in the world. 

Your presence with both your shadow and light stimulates needed Awakening, Remembrance and Reclamation for us all! What do you wish to ignite or re-ignite in your life? What gifts are you reclaiming? What is ready to be released? What is being catalyzed within you? How are you called to Revolutionize?

Whatever inspires you, move in that direction. Blessed Be.

Ritual Suggestions

• Authentic Inquiry Journaling: Bring your pen in hand to paper and let your heart answer these potent questions. What am I holding on to that may feel safe, but is truly not serving? In what ways to do I perpetuate tension, anger, repressed emotions and injustice in my inner and outer world? What do I consciously choose to burn away and release with love and gratitude? What is shaking loose within me? What can I let go of? What does my soul/heart need right now? What is the deep unwavering truth of who I am? How can I contribute?

• Move your Body and Dance Dance Dance: It is time to SHAKE loose all that is not your truth and ignite love through the body. Get in your body, breath deep, let go and let God/dess.

• (R)evolutionary Action: Take 1 - 3 steps to actively contribute to the change you wish to see. This could be money, energy, your voice, art, supporting another person, cause or organization.

• Remember: Put out your gemstones and jewels in a window or in water for cleansing, renewal, and activation. Place an apple and glass of water in the moonlight and have it for a 'Moon Wisdom' breakfast the next morning.

• Commune: Gather in an intentional way with loved ones and do any of the above together and create your own. Now can be a powerful time to be with the energy of the collective.

Autumn Equinox and Mabon Rituals

© Goddess Rising Mystery School by Melissa Robin

This Autumn Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere is on September 23rd.

At this special time, day and night are of equal length as Mother Earth takes a sacred pause in Her rotation around the Sun. On The Wheel of the Year, this Holy Day in the Northern Hemisphere is celebrated as Mabon (pronounced in many different ways May-bun, May-boon, May-bawn). Mabon is considered a time of the Great Mysteries. It is a time to honour the Sun Gods and Goddesses, the Harvest, and the Spirit World. 

This is a time of balance, to slow down and reflect, enjoy the bounty of our harvests (whether this be from your gardens, your friendships, and family, your work or your personal achievements) and also to prepare for the next season by welcoming the gifts of the darkness to release, let go, give away, share and shed (whether physically, emotionally, mentally or all the above).

This is a potent moment to honour the light and the shadow within your Womb, Heart & Mind. To honour the human part of you and the spirit part of you… the masculine and the feminine. For, to live fully Whole and integrated, we must embody both polarities. This is the power and alchemy of which all creation is based.

Allow yourself to be joy-filled, sorrowful, happy, frustrated and sad all at once. All of these emotions have deep wisdom, insight, and lessons for you at this time when you inquire with curiosity and acceptance. Give reverence to yourself for how far and deep you have journeyed. Honour your pain, shadow, and challenges. Honour your pleasure, light, and triumphs. And those of others. For every step of your path has led you to this moment now.

We offer thanks and honour to the Goddess as she moves from Mother to Crone, and to the Green Man of giving gratitude for the fortitude of the Sun, as we now reap the gifts and abundance, prosperity and fruitful ways of being.


May we welcome the power of this Holy Day in our personal lives and as the needed change for the world. May we offer to one another the bounty of love in our hearts, and offer the gifts of respect, kindness, honour, and peace to all those we come across. May we do what we can to contribute our energy in gratitude to the Earth, to the Spirit World and to all of humanity.

Pisces Harvest Full Moon

Blessings from the Holy Isle of Avalon. The altar above was offered with Love from Achintya & Sunshine.

The Pisces Harvest Full Moon is exact today, Friday, September 13th at 9:33 pm PDT. With this full moon in Pisces in final sign of the zodiac, along with the medicine of the Harvest Moon, we are able to reap the joys, lessons, insight, and experiences from all the previous signs (and the past 6 months since the last Equinox) and receive lunar codes of inspiration for your sacred service in the world.

Looking at the symbol for Pisces, with one fish swimming downstream and another swimming upstream, we can see this as an invitation to enter into the power of experiencing life beyond duality by incorporating both the inner and the outer realms, the light and the dark, the highs and the lows, the up and the down, and synthesize the wisdom of polarity, (like 2 magnets coming together in their opposite nature) and the alchemy of fire and water with celebration.


Sister, you are a daughter of the infinite Goddess. At this Full Moon, your presence here now invites the awakening of and reclamation of all of you. Your shadow, light and, the rainbow spectrum in between them both. With the Moon in Pisces and Sun in Virgo, you are being blessed to receive this lunar medicine to empower and nourish your priestess path and the sacred dreams you hold for yourself and the world.

Drink lots of water. Get into WATER. Be in NATURE. Be present with your breath and the rhythm of your sleep patterns. Rest and exercise. Meditate. Take care to be in stillness in the mornings to recall your dreams, deep insight is there for you. Breathe deeply and check in with your inner voice when needing to make major choices. Accept. Surrender. Release. Celebrate.

 

Harvest Moon Attributes

• Astrology: Artist's Moon, closest full moon to autumnal equinox

• Tarot: Strength

• Herbs: Copal, Fennel, Wheat, Valerian

• Colors: Brown, Yellow-Green, Yellow

Avalon Full Moon Prayer Activation

I made a full moon video for you HERE in our Goddess Rising Sisterhood Facebook Group and welcome you share any of your Friday the 13th Full Moon prayers in the comments and I will bring them with me in heart and spirit to the Avalon Tor for the Pisces Full Moon Rise and offer them on your behalf.

 

Harvest Moon Ritual Suggestions

• Gratitude Harvest Altar & Release: Gather fruits and vegetables. Flowers and grains. Create an altar of abundance, representing all you are in gratitude of. List all the things you are grateful for in your life from this year so far and place this in the moonlight (outside or window) to attract more experiences to be grateful for. Write down all the things you are ready to release, change or shift and either bury them, burn them or offer them to a body of water.

• Dream Speak: Pay close attention to your dreams tonight and through the weekend. Record them in a journal and speak them out loud. Only by writing them down or speaking them will the sometimes subtle (or not so subtle) meaning and message be revealed to you.

• Make Space: Time to go through your cupboards, closet, garage etc... and let go of the excess. Spaciousness feels so good and you open yourself up to more internal power and creative life-force.

• Be Still: With so much frequency shift happening now, simply closing your eyes to pay attention to your breath to pause for 5 minutes will do wonders for your nervous system (especially if you can do this 3 times a day, and longer than 5 if possible. Do what you can). Make sure to get a long and full sleep.

• Tea Medicine: Drinking Tulsi & Gotu Kola herbal tea will soothe your nerves and calm your spirit. This also allows you to open up to magical and bountiful blessings being offered.

• Earthing Creativity: Illuminate your dreams and get into your body! Create a vision board or a painting or dance or write in your journal all that you are bringing with you into the next season ahead. Place this out into the moonlight/speak it/sing out loud.

• Moon Bathe: Get into the magic of the moonlight and absorb her luminous, activating, soul-stirring and healing balm. Look to the moon and speak the visions and dreams that you see for yourself and for the planet.

• Remember: Put out your gem stones and jewels in a window or in water for cleansing, renewal, and activation. Place an apple and glass of water in the moonlight and have it for a 'Moon Wisdom' breakfast the next morning.

• Commune: Gather in an intentional way with loved ones and do any of the above together and create your own. Now can be a powerful time to be with the energy of the collective. (See invitation below).

Full Moon rituals can be done the day before, day of ,and day after the actual full moon. This is the 3 day potency period. Blessings to you in this wondrous and magical time.

With Full Moon Love, Achintya
