The weeks kicks off with the Full Moon – it will take place at 2.06pm today (Sunday).
The Full Moon takes place once a month, when the Sun and the Moon are on opposite sides of the zodiac. So for example right now, the Sun is in the sign of Cancer. That’s why all the Cancerians are having their birthdays. The Moon, meanwhile, is in Cancer’s opposite sign, Capricorn.
As you read this, you may be feeling the Full Moon tensions. They usually hit me in my heart chakra – I get a ball of anxiety in the middle of my chest. Every Full Moon brings issues to the surface, which is why people famously go “loony” at this time in the lunar cycle. For my astrological money, this happens because the Sun is all about the ego whereas the Moon is the Queen of Emotions. When they are on opposite sides of the skies, and in opposite signs, as they are now, there is a tug-of-war between our egos and our emotions. Hence the Full Moon madness!
Will your ego win? Will you bow to your emotions? No wonder Full Moon week is a tense time!
Every Full Moon urges us in some way to find more balance in our lives. If you’ve been working too hard, chances are you will find you need to have more of a personal life, for example. If you’ve been too immersed in a relationship, the Full Moon will remind you that you need to invest in yourself. And so on.
Use this Full Moon to think about where your life is out of balance.
If you are into doing ceremonies, take a moment to think about and write down what you’re grateful for. No harm ever came from counting your blessings. Counting your blessings will always bring life back into balance. If you can also find a moment to forgive at least one person who is bothering you, so much the better!
