Libra Pink Full Moon

The Full Moon in Libra is exact on Saturday, April 16th at 11:55 am PDT.

This Full Moon in April, known as the Pink Moon named by Native American Tribes after the pink wildflowers which bloom in early spring, represents new beginnings. It is also called Gaia's Moon from the Farmer's Almanac, referring to all of Nature coming to life after winter. This is a time of celebrating all that has been released from last season and all that is now coming into bloom.

Ruled by Venus, the Libra Full Moon amplifies our desire to create Beauty and enjoy heartfelt connections. It is a powerful gateway for creating healing and transformation in how we relate and connect to our selves, each other and life, and how we can choose to create balance, justice and harmony in our inner and outer worlds. In addition, it is helpful to remember to practice Self-love, have compassion for others, and honour your boundaries.

The Full Moon will rise in the same 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 (with Libra ruled by Venus, reflected in the Moon and Aries ruled by 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.

Full Moon in Virgo

The Virgo Full Moon is exact on Friday, March 18th at 12:17 am PDT / 3:17 am EDT and it is a Worm Moon.

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 longer 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' is derived from Virgo and originally meant 'whole unto oneself, a free woman - independent, autonomous, untied.'

• What does it mean to be sovereign unto oneself?

• What does it feel like to be in our full power?

At this Full Moon, we are asked to explore with a mystical lens (Pisces Sun) 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 energy of embodying your Wise Woman / Sage / Priestess Self.

As Virgo is ruled by Mercury, you have a profound invitation and opportunity to reclaim your Sovereign Power by speaking your Truth, communicating the unspoken, listening to the voice of your dreams, and following your soul calling. With the energy of the Priestess illuminated within you, deep truths can be revealed to speak what is alive and necessary. Once you speak your truth, you free yourself!

This Full Moon is a powerful Threshold moment.  You are standing at the crossroads about to step into something new and/or 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 moon light, 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 moon light and open yourself to receive intuitive guidance and support.

• Reclaiming Sovereignty: In your journal, write down 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-actions) 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 gem stones and jewels in a window or in water for cleansing, renewal and activation.

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

Let's activate our Priestessing in the World.
Let's ignite the pathways of Communication through our Heart’s Fires.
Let's come together, Sister to Sister to Sister, joining for sacred Celebration.

With BIG Full Moon Love,
Achintya

Full Moon in Leo

This Leo Full Moon blesses us with her fiery energy on Wednesday, February 16th at 8:56 am PST, and it is a Snow Moon of the High Priestess. Additionally, Venus is conjunct with Mars at 16’53 Capricorn 6:28am.

This is a powerful Full Moon 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 inpsired action and responsibility.

Fixed Fire Leo Moon is courageous, hardworking, independent, enthusiastic and brings forth the need for being confident in self-expression. Ruled by the Sun, there is a tendency towards spontaneous glee, risk-taking, seeking the approval of others, generosity, friendships, childlike play or activities involving children and undertakings in life and business in which personal recognition is desired.

This is a pivotal window for us as a collective. 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!

The Full Moon in Leo is generous, fiery and passionate with sensual play and it also welcomes you to roar or rage when needed, releasing pent up energy and expressing anger and frustration in healthy ways. Fire Moons make things happen. They bring spirit into form. They are the magick of gold in motion, with formless light that moves, dances and sings.

In addition, Venus and Mars reach their conjunction with this Full Moon, bringing forth amplified energy of fiery passion, love and romance!

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! Whether with a purr or a roar, it is time to release that which has been holding you back, to reclaim your sovereign self! 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!  

SNOW MOON ATTRIBUTES:

• Tarot: High Priestess

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

• Colours: Light blue, Violet

• Stones: Amethyst, Jasper

• Animals: Otter, Eagle, Unicorn

• Goddesses: Brigid, Quan Yin, Diana

• Medicine: rising energy, purification, new growth, honoring and forgiving yourself, self-love, accepting responsibility, future planning and design

 

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, the day of, and the day after the actual full moon. This is the 3 day potency period. Blessings to you in this powerful and wild and powerful time.

With Full Moon Love, Achintya

Full Moon in Cancer

Full Moon in Cancer

The Full Moon is exact in Cancer on January 17th at 3:48pm PST and it is a Wolf Moon.

The Mother is our first teacher and She who is the Miracle of Life itself. In the sign of Cancer, this full moon mirrors the importance of 'Home', living in rhythm with Earth and 'Mothering' in the world with Feminine Leadership.

Having recently given offerings at the Holy Mother Temples of Auset / Isis in Aswan (both at the current Temple site & the original), the Temple of Het Her / Hathor in Dendera, and Sekhmet's Sanctuary at the Temple of Karnak as a part of our December 2021 Egypt Priestess Pilgrimage, the codes of Mother feel very much alive!

The Mother Moon of Cancer is the medicine that mirrors the importance of 'Home'. The home is our own body temple, our physical dwelling place, and feeling "at home" on this planet. She reflects the importance of honouring the sacred waters of your physical, intuitive, and emotional bodies. This can amplify the Light of your Leadership and also Illuminate the shadows that need clearing, healing and transforming.

This January Full Moon is known as the 'Wolf Moon' 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.  
Whether you are howling or softly humming, may you honour all parts of yourself now to be in the supportive embrace and amplified energy of this Full Moon. 

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

• Medicine: Awakening, Envisioning, Beginning/conceiving, Rest, Protection

• Holy Day: Imbolc

2022 NEW YEAR FULL MOON RITUALS

Empty Presence: Be quiet & still for 10 mins. Listen. Feel your heartbeat. Breath deep. Be present with yourself. 

Honouring 2021: What do you celebrate and honour about yourself from the past year? Whether this related to your personal/business/love live. What were your greatest lessons and how can it serve you now? 

Releasing 2021: What are you laying to rest from 2021? What is ready to be burned or buried? If needed, let yourself release the emotions of 2021 with all the feels. Whether this is a cry, scream or sigh. For reals. Emotional Cancer supports us to release held emotions in the body. This is a healthy way to cleanse the emotional body and opens us up to the next level of deep wisdom to move through us.

Creating 2022 with Magick: Create an altar representing all you are calling forth for 2022 and/or place a 'Wishing Bowl' with your written or creatively drawn intentions under the moonlight to be amplified. Key: Focus on how you wish to feel along with any specific things you desire to come to fruition. Place an apple (or any other fruit) or water beside it and ingest it the next morning to assimilate the Magick into your Being.

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.

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.

Wild Moon Love, Achintya

Gemini Dragon Full Moon & Venus Retrograde

The Gemini Full Moon is exact on December 18th at 8:35pm PST.
Venus in Capricorn stations retrograde on December 19th at 2:36am PST.

The final full moon of 2021 in Gemini is the first full moon after the recent eclipses that carries new codes of cosmic communication and revelation and connects to Dragon Goddess Tiamat, just before Venus stations retrograde.

This Full Moon, governed by the element of Air, 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 Gemini Full Moon links to the Ancient Dragon Mother Tiamat, of our Rose, Dragon 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 the pure state of undifferentiated consciousness.

Allow her primordial energy to supportthe Remembrance of your Origin Code.

Look to the starry skies for galactic Scrying and communion with the Dragon Mothers. This a time to reflect, celebrate and express what you are grateful for, whether through prayer, song, dance, words and actions. And, this is a potent portal for refining the communication of listening, expressing, vibratory sensing, teaching, and speaking - especially with what needs amending and releasing with clarity and grace.

Cold Moon Attributes

• Tarot: The Sun

• Herbs: Holly, Fir, Mistletoe

• Colors: Blood red, White, Silver, Forest green

• Stones: Turquoise, Blue Topaz, Black Tourmaline; Hematite

• Animals: Bear, Deer, Wolf, Robin, Snowy owl

• Goddesses: Ixchel, Kali, Hathor, Hecate, Frigga

• Medicine: Hibernation; Rebirth of the light; Darkness; Connecting with loved ones; Yule: Winter Solstice; Darkness; Turning within; Shadow work

The 'Cold Moon' traditionally refers to the December Moon, as was tracked by Native American cultures. Some tribes called it Long Nights Moon, referring to the longer nights before Solstice.

Venus stations retrograde on December 19th at 2:36am PST.

Venus stations retrograde in Capricorn for approximately 42 days. She enters the Completion Phase of her Synodic cycle that began in June 2020 until she sets below the horizon on January 2 with the New Moon, and will then metamorphically transition from her Evening Star Phase to her Morning Star Phase.

Venus moving retrograde is an invitation for deep reflection, offering expanded perspectives and heightened states of awareness to bring forth great insight. It is also a time to embrace all that you have reclaimed and accomplished during this last Evening Star phase and to honour all those with whom you’ve shared this with. It is essential to offer and devote our learning, wisdom, accomplishments, reclamations, mastery and blessings to the One Source and for benefit all sentient beings everywhere.

As this Venus Retrograde will activate the Pluto-Eris square 3 times, it is deeply connected to clearing karmas, taking ownership of shadows, embracing chaos and allowing what needs to be completed and dissolved to be intentionally offered to God Goddess. May we use this time wisely. Blessings to you!

Gemini Full Moon Ritual Suggestions

• Share: Write a letter or make a phone call to a person that you need to communicate with in to feel complete. Express your truth with heart and sincerity.

• Sky Scrying: Look to the starry skies. Hold an intention in your heart to receive unique messages from the Dragon Mothers to empower your path. Watch and listen for these messages in the movement of the moonlit clouds, with the wind and in the stars.

• Empty Presence: Be quiet & still for 10 - 30 mins. Listen. Feel your heartbeat. Breath deep. Be present with yourself and the power of this living moment.

  Honouring 2021: What are you celebrating and honouring in your life from the past year? What were your greatest lessons and how can it serve you now? 

  Releasing 2021: What are you laying to rest from 2021? What is ready to be washed away or buried?

• 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 bring more attention and energy to for yourself and for the planet. Place this out into the moonlight/speak it/sing it during the full moon window.

• Gem Stone Reminder: 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.

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 magickal time. 

Full Moon Blessings to you!

Love, Achintya
