What to let go of during the full moon

What to let go of during the full moon

When I initially forecasted Astrology for 2023, I coined the overarching theme for this year as “opportunities exist everywhere”.

I predicted that we would navigate a new normal as the world opened up post-pandemic and we’d be faced with creating a new life for ourselves, one filled with meaning and fulfilment.

However, when confronted with an overabundance of opportunities, it can lead to inner conflicts when choosing the perceived “correct path”.

What I didn’t anticipate was the profound transformation we’ve all experienced and our receptiveness to the world around us. The cosmos has made this year easier compared to the last few, but as we’ve navigated both a global and personal shift it may have felt like an ongoing metamorphosis.

Some of us have embraced this change with excitement, while for others it might have been a challenging transition to relinquish control and go with the flow.

If there’s ever a time to release the past and make space for more joy and fulfilment in anticipation of a new year, then this is the lunation to do just that!

Harnessing lunar power

Reading about a full moon typically leads to references of completion, releasing and transformation. As we approach this phase of the lunar cycle, it’s challenging to ignore the energetic shift that unfolds. The energy intensifies, emotions soar and for some, a sense of restlessness or disrupted sleep may arise. The moon’s influence on our daily lives affects us uniquely and, at varying times, influenced by our individual astrological profiles.

This upcoming full moon will illuminate the night sky on November 27, 2023, at 8:16pm AEDT, residing in the constellation of Gemini. Gemini is often associated with communication, learning, curiosity, and adaptability. With communication as the focal point and challenging aspects involving the malefic planets, Saturn and Mars, this moment signifies a turning point in your interactions – with others and with yourself. The promising news is that whatever you confront head-on during this phase will inevitably lead to a breakthrough. If you’re eager to discover what you need to release this week, look towards your Sun sign below or if you’re looking to go even deeper read your Ascendant.
