What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves? This is the most important of all voyages of discovery.”~Thomas Merton

Have your emotions been all over the place in the past few days? Having trouble sleeping? Are events of the past rolling around in your head as if they happened yesterday? If so, you are not alone and you can blame it on tonight’s Full Super Moon!

A Super Moon is a moon which appears larger and brighter because it’s orbit is closer to the earth than usual. In 2014 there are actually 5 Super Moons. We experienced two Super Moons (New Moons) in January and tonight is the first of THREE full moon Super Moons. The next two FULL Super Moons will occur on August 10th and September 9th and those will appear even brighter (the August 10th full moon being the brightest) than tonight’s!

What does this mean for you? Full moons are the gifts of illumination and reflection. Your emotions are heightened, intuition is strong and whether you like it or not, past pain will light up and be reflected back to you during a full moon phase. If you resist, it can be a painful time OR you can consider it a gift and gently acknowledge and release old wounds.

Keep in mind that since this is the first of the three Super Moons, what you don’t clear in the next few days will have to be dealt with in August or September when the moon will be closer to the earth, more powerful and even brighter! The August and September full moons will truly be “in your face” so take time to reflect and release what’s coming up now instead of being literally “forced” to look in the months to come.

The power of the sun, the moon and the planets is here to support your growth not hinder it. The more you allow yourself to “go with the flow” by using these astrological events to your advantage, the easier it is to move through them.

As the moon moves closer to the earth, it reminds us there does not have to be an “abyss” that separates us from ourselves. What we reflect upon when the darkness is illuminated is one of our most important voyages of discovery. Use this beautiful Super Moon, and the ones to come, to reflect and release.~Shine Your Light Debbie

“Spiritual progress is like detoxification. Things have to come up in order to be released. Once we have asked to be healed, then our unhealed places are forced to the surface.”~ Marianne Williamson

Nothing like a Friday the 13th full moon while mercury is in retrograde to stir things up! The good news is that you have a rare opportunity to harness the energies at hand and really clear out those places you’ve been feeling stuck

The powerful energy of a full moon gives us the opportunity to illuminate what was once in darkness. Friday the 13th reminds us to face our fears and illusions. Mercury Retrograde asks us to reflect on what we are seeing and together those forces invite us to re-group, let go and re-charge.

Illuminate!

All full moons are packed with power and people handle this intense energy in different ways. It’s no coincidence (or surprise) that people go a little crazy during a full moon and since it falls on Friday the 13th superstition will run rampant.

In the past week if you been feeling “buzzy”, unsettled, you’ve had trouble sleeping, experienced vivid (or lucid) dreams, or you feel overwhelmed it is most certainly the energy of the full moon. Just as the full moon illuminates the night sky, so too it lights up and magnifies energies you’re working on releasing so you can move forward. If you take time to ground and set your intentions she will help you gain clarity by illuminating your path and direction. A full moon can turn your world upside down or give you a boost forward. It all depends on if you resist or go with the flow of the energy.

A full moon during mercury retrograde is a positive force which helps “light up” those areas of your subconscious that have up until now been in darkness. A full moon amplifies energy and since mercury retrograde brings a “re-visiting” of energies we are working on releasing you may feel like everything is “larger than life”. There has never been a better time to un-plug, reflect, re-group.

Re-Charge!

Once you’ve “detoxified” you must fill up. Full moons have the power to illuminate but they are also filled with energy. The moon invites us to transform by using her energy to re-charge. Allow the moon energies to fill you up just as you would use the energy of the sun. In fact it’s a wonderful idea to use both the energy of the sun AND moon in harmony and balance.

Breathe in peace and power and balance. Breathe in certainty, enthusiasm and joy. Set new intentions and re-energize yourself and your dreams. Re-charge and breathe new life into your life. Use this Friday the 13th Full Moon to illuminate and help you face your fears and illusions. Use Mercury Retrograde to reflect, re-group and recharge. You won’t have another opportunity for this particular alignment until the year 2049. No time like the present to balance and re-engage.~Shine Your Light Debbie
