Moon Vibes:
The healer, artist. Our humanity shines bright and the desire to connect with the resonate polarity is strong. Artistic and creative expressions are made manifest during full Moon phase. This is the polarity of our solar and lunar nature in orgasmic celebration and peak fertility during full Moon phase. In tantra yoga, this is the union of Moon and Sun, in and out-breath at the heart, breath pause kumbhaka. Relates with dawn and the element is earth. In the hero’s journey, this is the sacred Marriage of resonate polarities, between the archetypes of Sun/Moon. In the menstrual cycle, this phase is ovulation. The egg is released from ovary into fallopian tubes and the possibility of ferritization is greatest. Metaphysically, this is when we fertilize our creations with thought seeds and manifestation rituals have the greatest potential. The prime hormone for this phase is estrogen which stimulates luteinizing hormone which stimulates the release of the egg. This is also the peak of testosterone in the cycle so we see a lot of hormonal stimulation at full Moon phase. The full Moon phase is about 72 hours, which also coincides closely to the time from onset of ovulation where fertilization is possible. Orgasm, ovulation, the moment of truth, polarity connection, endorphin high. Use foods that are packed with flavor, colorful, juicy and nutrient dense.
Moon in Leo
- Moon in Leo corresponds with heart, blood pressure, blood circulation and aorta.
- Full Moon is the climax, reaching the mountain peak, orgasmic phase of the cycle.
- Thinking of Leo’s radiant, royal heart at full Moon, where do you want to direct your passion and love today and tomorrow? Consider also harmonious aspects with Mars, the assertive, physically strong, active energy.
- Leo is the sign most resonate with Sun.
Nutrition suggestion:
Foods that feel cleansing to the blood and respiratory tract, like burdock root (blood) and mullein (respiratory.) Don’t be afraid to work up an internal sweat with soup made from vegetables and miso.
Ritual:
Call in sacred space, reestablish boundaries, give thanks. Visualizing clean air streaming through your lungs, our lungs, earth lungs. “I accept responsibility for what is coming through me to be processed and integrated.” Visualizing ♌ fire burning up byproducts of life experience, all that is ready to transform to smoke and merge with rising air. “I trust that we are held in Universal love and compassion.” Ancestors, spirit guides, angels, light beings and the Unified Field of Consciousness, be with us. We give thanks for your endless healing energy, love and support. Amen, A’ho, and So It Is!
Close sacred space. Give thanks. Thank you.🌺🌺🌺
Astrology info to consider:
Leo/Aquarius polarity goes from self-love to self-loath. Feeling so high, star gazing. Then to the lowest low, navel gazing. Feel in your body the polarity of ♒ Aquarian cosmic consciousness and ♌ self-interested consciousness. The higher we can go (without drugs preferably) the deeper and more authentic our self-love investment.
Venus with Lilith, feminine ferocity, taking no bullshit. Come correct or go away. Venus in Aries wants passion. With Chiron so close to Venus at ♌♒🌕, there may be booger-crying. If you allow the energy to move, you can heal the situation. Avoidance does not work here.
Mercury approaching Neptune during shadow phase could be increasing imagination and visionary capacity. Also illusionary or delusional around love and spirituality.
Moon in harmonious aspect with Mars at full Moon! Gives virility, bravery and stamina. Also infuses Mars with Leo Moon magic.
Menstruation cycle and Moon:
What phase of your inner Moon cycle are you in? What hormones are most prominent? How does this relate with outer Moon’s transition to the climax of full Moon? Remember, your cycle and Moon cycle do not need to match. Read more about the correspondences here.
Dreams:
Reality check: Do you notice details and subtle layers of life happening? Like the patterns of bird songs on your usual walk? The feeling of moisture in the air on a windy beach day? Or the elation you feel when something out of the ordinary happens? These are all opportunities for a reality check.
- An easy and fun way to check reality is to say aloud, “Am I dreaming?!?!?”
- Hand check: look at the backs and fronts of your hands. Two times. If you are dreaming, the second time you look at your hands, they will be distorted.
- Try to read something. If you can not because letters are moving, or start writing themselves, this is your prompt to go lucid.
- Stay calm as possible or you will wake yourself up.
These are all good practices for mindful living in our waking dream as well.
