I’ve been feeling a deeply moving energy of late and for a while I couldn’t quite put my finger on where it was originating from. Yesterday I realised that we were in the midst of a beautiful and rare blue moon. I usually feel the pull of a full moon every month but the symbolism behind this particular blue moon presents to me at a time of deep transition in my life. The blue moon itself is said to signify transformation and amplified emotional release. Its significance can most appropriately be aligned to the phrase ‘once in a blue moon’. Something that signifies a rare, poignant and powerful opportunity to focus on letting go of what is no longer serving you and moving forward towards real change.
The mythical symbolism of the occurrence is rooted within the blue moon being the second full moon in a single calendar month; something that doesn’t happen very often. It is quite literally presenting us with a second chance to let go, manifest and dream bigger than before. It is believed to be a catalyst for quick life changes, profound spiritual clarity and a heightened sense of intuition for those who are willing to listen and can hone its energy. It is said that the Sagittarius full moon that we are currently experiencing is presenting and asking us to believe that we are capable of all we have always dreamt of. It reminds us of the legacy we are building over time and is promoting a sense of clarity around the path we wish to take for ourselves in the future. It asks us to present with authenticity and be brave enough to take the next step; whatever that may be.
When I think about this concept and apply it to my own life, I understand that I need to stop setting and undertaking paths which are not aligned with my soul. I need to look deeper within and ask myself questions around what it really is that I want from life, and then chase those things wholeheartedly. For too long I have been afraid to actually try. I have allowed that fear that I spoke about in a previous post to mute the pursuit of something more. I have continuously put my dreams on the backburner but now it’s time to trust my intuition. It’s a time to let go of the past, of my traumas, of resentment and frustration. It’s time to let go of the fear of failure. It is finally the time to put my all into trying to become that version of myself that I have always dreamed of.
I intend to hone the energy of the blue moon as best I can when it presents. I will lean into its push towards providing intense clarity, heightened intuition and a deep emotional release. I will harness its energy to listen to my soul, trust my intuition and take that leap forward. I will commit to releasing a version of success that was never mine to begin with. I will then finally let go of the burden that someone else’s dreams have been weighing down on my shoulders and therefore crushing my soul. I understand that my path looks entirely differently to others and this is precisely the point.
So at 6.45PM (AEST) tonight when that beautiful, rare Blue full moon presents itself, I intend to bathe in its light and magic. I will honour its quest to push towards the next stage of my life. I will lend myself to its symbolism of releasing deep rooted patterns and manifesting bold dreams. To this, I can commit that I will wholeheartedly try.
