Full Moon: Illumination, Emotion and Powerful Release

Full Moon: Illumination, Emotion and Powerful Release

The full moon arrives approximately fourteen to fifteen days after the new moon and lasts for around three days. From here, it’s two weeks until the next new moon, and the energy is at its brightest, boldest and most heightened. This is the peak of the entire lunar cycle.

This is the peak energy time of the month - your energy is at its highest and, depending on whether you have been in your flow or fighting against it, you will either feel a moment of completion, or completely emotionally frazzled. Everything you’ve been working towards since the new moon is now fully illuminated. For some people, that brings a sense of satisfaction and clarity. For others, the intensity can feel overwhelming.

There can be a lot of emotion under a full moon. As the dark moon draws us inwards into our deep emotional centre, the full moon pulls all of our emotions up to the surface. Be very mindful of high emotion and conflict under a full moon. This phase often magnifies what has been unspoken, unhealed or pushed aside - not to punish you, but to help you see clearly what needs attention.

This is your golden moonlit opportunity to get very clear on what you need to release to move forward.
The full moon is when you get clear on and set in motion letting go of all that keeps you stuck. It is a time of forgiveness – of yourself and others – and a time to set the intention for what you want to let go of, release and end during the waning part of the cycle. The light is bright enough now to show you what’s been in the way, and compassionate enough to help you meet it with honesty instead of fear.

Under the full moon:
• Celebrate the success of anything that has come to completion.
• Get very clear on what has stood in your way or any course-correcting nudges you have received.
• Make a list of all that holds you back and what you want to release.

Let this be a moment of reflection, release and renewal - a pause before the energy begins to wane again.
