Libra Full Moon

The Libra Full Moon was exact today at 11:48am PDT

This Full Moon rose in close alignment to where the Sun rose at Equinox. This initiates (Sun in Aries) the Venusian Libra Rose Moon to act as a reflector and transmitter to illuminate yet again the Equinox mysteries. Thus, this Full Moon amplifies the energy of the Sacred Marriage / Cosmic Egg activated by the Serpent of Fire (Venus reflected in the Moon & Mars reflected in the Sun) for the integrated relationship of the masculine and feminine, seen and unseen, above and below, within and without. We honour these energetics of Divine Union / Life / Death / Rebirth and Resurrection as portrayed through the lives of Inanna & Damuzi, Isis & Osiris, and Mary Magdalene & Yeshua.

The Sacred Mysteries of the Grail are alive!
The powerful energy present now with this Full Moon and into Easter weekend is imbued with potent energy for co-creating with Gaia. To Recalibrate, Rebirth and Renew. For Self within and as a Living Prayer for the Whole.


This Libra Full Moon also amplifies the energetics of partnership and relationship. Remember to practice Self-love, compassion for other, and honour your boundaries.

Feel into the relationship you have with yourself, with your heart, your dreams, with Beloveds, with your global family and with the Earth. What are you grateful for in these relationships? What lessons and insights do you bring with you from this lunation? What needs to be amplified and what needs still needs to be composted, shifted, transformed?  How can you bring beauty to all situations and relationships? How can you accept and integrate both the light and the dark? 

 

RITUAL SUGGESTIONS

  • Further Authentic Inquiry Journaling: Bring your pen in hand to paper and let your heart answer these potent questions: What truth, power and wisdom have I left behind or hidden away that is now ready to come into the light? What is resurrecting within me that will create balance in my life? What relationship dynamics am I holding on to that may feel safe, but is truly not serving? What do I consciously choose to release and create with love? What am I changing? What am I celebrating? What is the deep unwavering truth of who I am? What do I truly desire? What is shaking loose within me? What does my soul/heart need right now?

  • Sacred Meditation: Visualize a golden glow around your body and opening rose petals at your womb space, and mind. Extend this glow to all encompass all of you. Receive this rejuvenation and then extend it out to your loved ones and the world for Beauty and Healing.

  • Make Love: To life, to your garden, to yourself, to your creative arts, to your Beloved, including but not limited to sex, infused with sensitivity, open-heartedness, and passion.

  • Remember: Put out your gemstones and jewels outside under the moonlight or in a window (in water if you can) for cleansing, renewal, and activation.

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

 

Full Moon Blessings, Achintya Devi

VIRGO PRIESTESS FULL MOON

static1.squarespace-5.jpg

The Full Moon in Virgo is exact February 27th 12:17 am PST / 3:17am EST.

We are in the transition phase on the Wheel of the Year from one season towards another. If you are in the northern hemisphere, what do you take with you from winter's wisdom into spring? What do you leave behind? If you are in the southern hemisphere, what do you take with you from summer's joy into autumn? What do you leave behind? 


This Full Moon in Virgo assists in releasing what no serves you and can align you with the Priestess and Medicine Woman within, as Virgo is the Divine Feminine and the 'Virgin'. In this Full Moon, we are called again to illuminate Self Sovereignty. 

The word 'virgin' originally meant "whole unto oneself". What does it mean to be sovereign unto oneself? What does it feel like to be in your full power? At this full moon, we are asked to explore with a mystical lens (Pisces Sun) all the ways in which we give our power away and how we can reclaim it.  The moon reflects to us the importance of activating our inner discernment, wisdom, and intuition to ground our visions and dreams to earth. This is to embody our Wise Woman/Sage/Priestess.

As Virgo is ruled by Mercury, you have a profound invitation and opportunity to reclaim your sovereign power by speaking your Truth, communicating unspokens, listening to the voice of your dreams, following your soul calling and sharing in very real and intimate ways.  This can be scary and may bring up many beliefs and patterns around your self-worth, pleasing others, and prioritizing yourself. And yet, with the Archetype of Priestess illuminated within you, when you reveal deep truths to yourself and speak what is alive, present and necessary to be spoken, you will show up with full integrity and in resonance of your Soul (even if your heart is beating fast and you are scared).

 
It’s a BIG Moon, sister!
 

If you are anything like the thousands of women around the world on a path of awakening, you have some things to say.  Maybe to yourself, maybe to another, maybe to the Divine.  And... What you are NOT speaking impacts your life greatly.  In this Full Moon, what needs to be spoken? What dreams need to be honoured? What are you reclaiming? Once you speak your Truth, you free yourself and experience a homecoming as sovereign vessel of Heaven and Earth, Living as Love.
 

This Full Moon is a powerful Threshold moment.  You are standing right at the doorway about to step into something new and/or something that has been a dream that can now become a reality.  Something in your life is asking you to make a commitment that seems edgy or exciting or real or scary.  You have the invitation to walk through this Threshold and expand into your Diamond brilliance by taking responsibility for your actions, thoughts, and Divine mission. At this time, you are being summoned to live as a Priestess.

Step forth, dear one, to ask for what you need, express your heart with authenticity and celebrate the power of your emotions, wisdom, value, and intuition. Now is the time to create and design your human experience from a grounded place of focused intention, service and beauty woven with mystery, the non-linear and the magical. There is great insight and healing when we pay attention to both our dreams and the signs right in front of us! 

This is our Moon Medicine. 

 

MOON RITUAL SUGGESTIONS

  • Embrace The Heart: This can be a very intense part of the lunar cycle. Be patient with all the emotions you are feeling at this time. Breathe into them. Give them a safe resting place and a healthy funnel of expression. Be gentle with yourself.

  • Seva: Practice selfless service by doing something for someone else (maybe even a stranger) that would brighten their day.

  • Express Yourself: Whether through voice or movement, sing, speak and move from a place of your authentic heart to engage with the current expression of your own body & soul.

  • Gratitude: Now is a beautiful time to reach out and share with others what you are most grateful for about them. Gratitude can also be expressed to oneself and to the Great Mystery with reverence for all our blessings at this time.

  • Intentional Design: Take the reins of your schedule and create some order. Design or arrange your home space to represent your essence.

  • Moon Prayers: With the full moonlight, write down or speak your prayers for yourself, loved ones and the planet. The full radiant moon amplifies your word.

  • Moon Priestess: Make time for quiet and stillness as the moon rises. Meditate in the full moonlight and open yourself receive intuitive guidance and support.

  • Reclaim Self Sovereignty: In your journal, write down out all the ways that you are currently blaming outside circumstances or people for your own discomfort or unhappiness. Take personal accountability by writing down all the choices, attitudes and actions (including non-action) that are keeping you from living your full potential. Write down all that you are ready to release and all that you are calling forth for your present life to move forward aligned to your heart desires and to get your own needs met. Commit to two action steps to make this real for yourself. Now then, get to it. Welcome to Self Sovereignty.

  • Speak In First Person: Practice speaking from your own personal experience, beginning with 'I', instead of saying 'you'. Example: Instead of saying, "When you went into the ocean, you could hear the whales," you would say, "When I went into the ocean, I could hear the whales." This draws energy back into yourself, creates more power in your speech and opens clarity in your body intelligence.

  • Organize & Release To Beautify: Let go of physical objects that are not supporting your joy. Declutter. Clean. Organize your home space (in and out). This moving of energy supports clearing and cleansing on all levels and welcomes the full moon Light to activate you and your loved ones.

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

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

Leo Full Moon

 
 
IMG_6261.jpeg

This Leo Full Moon is exactly at 11:16am PST / 2:16pm EST / 7:16pm GMT

Welcome to the first full moon of 2021! This is a powerful portal of shift to release that which no longer uplifts you, and illuminates your heartfelt & passionate self to roar as the wise leader of your own life (Leo). Now is the time to amplify your sacred desires and offer your gifts to serve in the world with a sense of inpsired action and responsibility.

This is a pivotal window for us as a collective where our feelings, emotions, and intuition come to light to catalyze renewal and regeneration at the level of the heart, solar center and soul. It is a Full Moon 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!

As Venus is at the Root Chakra, this full moon brings forth amplified feelings, emotions, and intuition connected to your relationships, your sense of belonging, stability, feeling grounded and supported! 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. 

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!  

This is also the 'Wolf Moon' that comes from Indigenous Tribes of North America who gave names to each of the moons, in relation to their qualities connected to nature and the seasons. This particular moon was when the wolves would appear in the middle of winter, howling with hunger in villages.

Wolf Medicine, representing ‘Teacher’, great wisdom, wildness and inner freedom is beckoning our attention. Maybe you are already feeling it in your bones and are ready to dance and howl! This Wolf Moon reminds us of the importance to express our heart's truth and our wildness, to live feeling free.  

WOLF MOON ATTRIBUTES

  • Tarot: The Star

  • Herbs: Holly thistle, Nuts, and cones

  • Colors: White, Lavender, Blue-violet/indigo, Black

  • Stones: Garnet, Onyx, Jet, Chrysoprase, Rose quartz

  • Animals: Bear, Fox, Coyote, Wolf

  • Goddesses: Freya, Brigid, Persephone, Inanna, Saraswati, Hera

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.

Love Achintya

Gemini Full Moon Eclipse

IMG_5084.PNG

The Gemini Full Moon is exact on November 30th at 1:30 am PST. The Penumbral Lunar Eclipse will be shortly after at, 1:43 am PST.

This Full Moon Eclipse illuminates both shadow and light and calls for us to integrate both. 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. 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.

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. 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 moon is also connected to the Ancient Dragon Mother Tiamat, of the Rose and Grail Lineages. There are two parts to the Tiamat myth. One is that in which Tiamat is Creatrix Goddess, through a “sacred marriage” between salt and fresh water, who peacefully creates the cosmos through successive generations. The second is that she is considered the embodiment of primordial chaos.

In the ancient Mesopotamian myth of Marduk’s slaying of Tiamat we find the recognition of duality. Tiamat is Goddess of the Primal Abyss, the void of chaos from which all the gods emerged, was depicted as a great dragon encircling and encompassing all known creation. As such She represents that great ground of being; pure, undifferentiated consciousness, from which the vital energies of the human psyche (otherwise known as the gods) ensue.

Allow her primordial energies to support the Remembrance of your Origin Code and life purpose at this time.

 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 Full Moon Eclipse Ritual Suggestions

  • Eclipsing Earth Connection: Stand or walk on the earth with bare feet. Imagine roots growing down from your feet and/or your womb space to the womb of Mother Gaia. Feel this as an anchoring pillar of light connecting you to the Earth and welcome in the magick of the Moon descending down from above moving through you, as you continue to send the energy deep into the earth to ground you, release stagnant or pent up emotional energy and have you feeling supported and nourished for rebirth.

  • 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.

  • Heart 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.

  • 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
