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.
Nutrition:
Sagittarius relates with liver, hips, thighs, sacrum. At full Moon phase and eclipse season, today’s recommendation is grits, aka polenta. We need the grounding energy of organic corn and a dish that has a long history of sustaining resilience and strength. Make sure it’s organic non gmo and you don’t have corn allergies.
- 1 cup or grits
- 2 cups of pure water
- Boil, stir, lower heat and put lid on pot.
- Cooks similar to rice.
- Top with avocado.
Serve with beans or another protein source.
Moon in Sagittarius:
Today is lunar eclipse full Moon in Sagittarius, Sun in Gemini. Moon in Sagittarius, soul memories of progress, evolution, and what used to sound like a great idea. Sun in Gemini bestows blessings of clarity in this new moment. Past moments are riffing points of reference so we can feel/emote and make new artistic expressions. This axis is about exploration of possibilities, adventures in information and creativity, commitments to freedom. Eclipses take us through a years worth of development in 4 hours, today in Sagittarius/Gemini. What house axis is this for you?
Astrology info to consider:
Mars is at 15° of Pisces making challenging angles to both Moon and Sun. Mars is our warrior vibe and is very triggered right now. Mars in Pisces fights for love, empathy, human rights and the rights of all beings. Pisces is our most peaceful, loving archetype in the zodiac. So fighting is most likely done with aggressive poetry, music, dance, spellwork/magick and other art forms.
Mercury 90°aspect with Chiron provokes the arts of war and healing with information. Mercury at 60°easy aspect with Uranus asks for radical paradigm shifts through communication. What would you like a major shift on?

During full Moon and eclipse, ask for energy transfer in your dreams tonight. This can be for physical healing, clarity, emotional support, anything. Write in your dream journal a petition to receive whatever it is you’re asking for. When writing this petition, include an offering to spirit. You can make an offering through giving something away, leaving some of your hair or body fluids in soil around plants, or pouring water into the earth as an offering. Once you’ve made your petition and offering, trust that you’ve been seen and heard. Sleep easy and open to receive.
