It’s the Leo full moon
As I type it’s early morning here
Dark
Yet the big heavy moon hangs like a tea drop
Like a mirror
Like a silver plate of my Grandmothers
That as a child I used to stare into
Who are we?
Who am I?
We have all these layers that life pastes onto us
That’s how this moon is making me feel
And the layers are lifting
I’m peeling them off
As always these days I love reading a little on the back story of whichever full moon/new moon we are experiencing – this month is the Leo moon, Winter moon and you can find some more info on this moon and how it will affect you here and here.
Don’t believe in such things? Ha! I suppose you don’t have your crystals out under the full moon either right now?
Whatever – really 😊
Everyone has their path, I like mine to be a little more illuminated – hence I use a few extra tools that might seem unusual however that is the point of this moon
Find your authenticity
Claim it
Love yourself unconditionally
Love all the parts of you
The light and the dark
Become whole
And then radiate your entire being into the world
So often we avoid the dark side of ourselves
Allow this moon to illuminate it instead
Be brave enough to love the broken, ignored and embarrassing parts as well
You cannot walk this life as a half a being
I’m a Leo – a lion
My dark side contains traits I don’t like such as arrogance and pride and they have plunged me into trouble when I have not recognised them as the shadow they can cast to my thoughts and momentum
It doesn’t mean you have to display these traits but if you acknowledge they are there at least you can watch them arise and then choose not to take actions that embody them
It is better to be aware than to be unconscious
It is wiser to be whole and have the ability to think with a whole heart and mind – denying nothing, hearing everything
And it is freeing to live without the layers and masks that living and growing up in society pastes on
Uniformity is for the unconscious
Non conformity begins when we choose ourselves over the layers
When we choose authenticity over complicity
And begin to live with awareness and truth, our ear pressed to our own chests whenever we need reassurance
Nothing else matters but the internal beat
It is our drum
And we must listen to our own – to find who we are to become

Some other realisations I’ve had leading up to this moon:
And
What does perfection look like, feel like – the answers surprised me
