Leo Full Moon

Art by Cosmic Collage

This Leo Full Moon blesses us with her fiery energy on Feb. 8th at 11:33pm PST. The Leo Full Moon is exact on February 8th at 11:33pm PST.

With this Leo Super Moon, Solar Imbolc yesterday and Venus (connected to the Heart in her current cycle) shifting to Aries - the Empowered Alpha Point - the Fires of Initiation are lit and so is the Path of your Becoming!

Sister. You are bridging past and future. You are being initiated into a profound Embodiment of your spirit taking form as we shift from the a time of conception (winter) into matter (spring). Solar Imbolc ushers in the Earth’s own magnificent Emergence & is a gateway to receive the depths of your unique soul coding to Shine your Love into the World.

Welcome the Maiden part of yourself. She has insight for you. This Innocence is linked to the primal force of creation as Eros comes alive through all of Gaia. As you make the choice to Embody Self and welcome the Rebirth of the Light within you, allow for the Great Mother’s Fertile energy to embrace you, as you embrace all you are navigating. 

Amplified feelings, emotions, and intuition come to light to catalyze renewal and regeneration at the level of the heart and soul. It is a time of purification to breakthrough adversity and resurrect self-love, unconditional love, forgiveness, compassion, truth and power. And it is a time to liberate and celebrate the wild soul that you are!

In this significant time of transformation, worry, hesitation, doubt and mistrust may arise. Know that these challenges are part of your alchemical process. Stay steady. The Fires of Purification are burning away all illusion - until the the Truth of who you are remains.  This is the Priestess Path!

Call upon the Royal Rose Lions of Sirius & Lyra in this Leo full moon to support continued releasing of distortion AND to empower the royal illumination of your heartfelt and passionate Self! It is time to Rise as the Queen of your life! ROAR that which has been holding you back, and that which you are reclaiming! This celestial activation ignites creativity,  inspired passion and devotional desires for offering your gifts as sacred service in the world on the Path of your Becoming. And so it is!

• Tarot: High Priestess

• Herbs: Hyssop, Balm of Gilead, Myrrh, Sage

• Colours: Light blue, Violet

• Stones: Amethyst, Jasper

Leo Full Moon Ritual

This potent ritual is offered in love to your Bright Soul! The intention of this ritual is to empower you in releasing anything that may be preventing you from living in the fullest expression of your Wild Sacred Feminine Essence and rise in the wisdom, beauty, and truth that you are. Blessings to you!

• Build a fire and bask in the radiant flames. Let the heat penetrate your body. Let the colours into your eyes, empty yourself of thoughts and allow for the flames to guide you deep within. If you can't build a fire, then light some candles and bask in the full moon's light if possible.

• Write down all the things in your life that you were told you couldn't do, or weren't allowed to do and all the beliefs that arose from that. Take your time with this...

• Then Reflect on how this makes you feel, speak your feelings, write them down and allow your body to express these feelings.

• Now investigate how this has affected your life and may still be affecting you. Again, take your time.

• Then offer to the fire all the parts the beliefs that are not true, that you may have been living with. Honour them for their time with you and now they are no longer needed. Sacred. Deep. Release.

• Dance Dance Dance! If with a fire, let the heat of the fire soften your body and move in ways that make you feel free and empowered. Dance your truth. Dance your heart and soul.

• Speak aloud what you are capable of, and the truth of who you are! Speak your wisdom and what your passions are. You can start each sentence with I Am.... and claim your truth. Run wild with this! When you feel complete (and maybe after many tears...) Repeat, "And so it is!" as many times as you like. This will anchor in and affirm your sacred truths.

• Finally, write down these truths, so that you can refer back to it when you need reminded of your power.

• Close with gratitude and long deep breathing. Or, continue in whatever way feels most resonant for you.

• Remember: Put out your gemstones and jewels in a window or in water for cleansing, renewal and activation. Preferable in salted water (sensitive stones and jewels leave out the salt part).

• Commune: Gather is an intentional way with loved ones and do the above ritual together if possible for extra potency and support. Now is a such 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 powerful and wild and powerful time.

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

• Animals: Crocodile, Owl, Goose

• Goddesses: Cerridwen, Mawu, Hecate

• 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

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.

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.

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.

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.
