Hello Beautiful Souls….
As we enter the spooky season with its share of pumpkin spice lattes, cozy nights, and crunchy leaves, Grandmother Moon peaks at 7:26 p.m. EST on October 17th. Full Moons usually bring a culmination of energy, but this one being in fiery Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, also carries within a passionate and pioneering energy. Aggressive and emotionally triggering, this full moon is not for the faint-hearted. It is time to light the fire beneath our cauldrons and set the sky ablaze!
Shadows are lengthening and daylight hours are getting shorter, but in the approaching darkness a new light of possibility is shining. The world we live in is changing before we know it, and just weeks before the elections. It is time to pay attention to what the cosmos is communicating to you. It’s time to stand with our hearts open and to look at what we have no. anted to address, together. On a collective level we are seeing an increase in action-based initiatives and peaceful protests around the planet as we are organizing and rising to bring about change.
We are the Change.
As women, we hold the power of change within us. We are vessels of Lunar Energy, naturally aligned with the Moon's cycles, receiving and channeling its magical force in ways unique to our being. Now, more than ever, it’s time to step up and embrace the warrior within. This Aries Moon calls for action and courage—without anger or blame. A true warrior is disciplined, organized, and steady.
This year has been challenging, but as you intentionally step into your highest vibration, remember to stay grounded in Mother Earth and take deep, centering breaths. Speaking from the heart will help guide you through as life unfolds before you. Allow the weight of karmic release to melt away and embrace the energy as you passionately howl at the moon.
I wish you great joys, wild love and much abundance in this Witches New Year. And I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for being with me each month here. Tanto Amore!
To Honor this full moon...
- Shadow work: As the Wheel of the Year turns inward towards the dark months, now is the time to turn to the Divine Feminine energy within us to release all that no longer serves...to clear baggage from the past that we have been holding on to and rid our mind and lives of negativity and fear.
- A tea to honor the Samhain lunar cycle...brewed with hibiscus flowers, rose, cinnamon and orange peel, this garnet-colored, dramatic-looking tea makes a perfect drink to serve. Ingredients: 4 parts dried Hibiscus, 3 parts fresh orange peel, 2 parts dried tea roses, 2-parts star anise and 1 cinnamon stick. Steep in hot water and enjoy
- Making Moon Water-on the night of the full moon, place a clear quartz crystal in a jar of purified water. (Can also make by the gallon). Place the vessel outside in a clear moonlit spot, making sure the jar is covered. When morning arrives, your water will be charged with lunar energy. Drink a bit every morning for body, mind & soul balance.
